It seems we're getting new models for some of our beloved ships, which I find great: winter's expansion looks awesome.
But as there was a topic asking about some ships to get new models, and it is lost deep within topics list, I'm making this topic for adding a ship to the list of "ships that need to be re-modelled": the Bellicose and its T2 variants, the Rapier and the Huggin, and the Vigil frigate.

Please don't start yelling about "Who needs the Bellicose?" since it's as useful as other ships and I know you love Rapiers and Huggins.

The thing is that their model (about the cruisers) is... odd. Their bridges and solar pannels keep killing me, and I'm a Minmatar who loves Minmatar style. My proposal is to change them slightly, perhaps this way:

- Bridge: instead of making it a rounded glass thing, I'd say to make it a bit similar to Stabber's or at least Rupture's ones (more pointy). For variety, it could be "inverted" from them, I mean longest part up isntead of down (inverted pyramid). And there's something with Huggin's one... those solar pannels are cool but they look like elephant ears; perhaps making them more "aerodynamic", pointing them forward or backward? Note: if their bridges get changed, I think Vigil's one should be modified in the same way.

- Solar pannels: they don't seem as nice as other ships'. So I'd say to put them, instead of at the tip of the engine's "arm", at its side (forward and backward as now). For keeping its looking, the backward ones could be longer than forward ones. There could be smaller ones at the top of the ship too. Vigil ones' are cool.

This would be small, quick modifications that I think would make these ships better looking, I think. Please let me know what you think of this :)

Thankie!

Nice looking ships are, well, nice.
