Oh god, I forgot just how green the old Creodron paintjob was.

The Imicus model looks like a piece of toast with a kickstand.

I switched over to the anathema as soon as they changed it to the magnate hull as it looks amazing. (Cant remember if that happened the same time as the helios change?) I think my old helios is still docked somewhere in stain, where it shall remain abandoned and alone for the rest of eternity.

Gallente had the best looking covert and now they have the ugliest.

wait that used to be the imicus? then what did the maullus look like?

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

It might be my imagination, but the images of the Helios you guys posted remind me a little bit of Boba Fett's ship, Slave I

Watch this space.  New exciting signature in development.

Never forget!

In the same vein, they took away the "STOP, THIS IS THE POLICE" navy comet, and gave us forest camo in space :(

Gallente ships continue to take a beating.

I did the exact same thing, my Helios is somewhere in Gallente space, never to ride the solar winds again. Too fugly.

Anathema=sex though.

I like to lick things.

no, the helios had the maulus hull instead of the imicus, but then they introduced the EAF's and since CCP didn't want amarr and gallente to use the same hull for different T2 ships (magnate didn't existed before, caldari had the griffin and minmatar had the vigil), they "reformatted" the T1 versions as "exploration ships", swapped the hull of the helios from the maulus to the imicus, and the anathema's hull from the crucifier to the magnate.


it was awful tho, the helios' only good thing it had was the looks, now it's not even that.

Same here, only swapping the Probe for the Anathema, the Vigil hull was so much better for a covert ops frigate,

In hindsight my post should have had more psssshhhh
