Basically all T2/Facton ships that have same hull as their T1 variant should be at least a bit different - maybe a bit bigger, with additional gadgets here and there - just not only coloring :).

Rupture.

Give it a slightly more rounded "bow" and "keel" and then some mimitar sails on top

Ie. Pirate ship

so then I can talk like a pirate at all times in brave coms

and honestly, Im serious some sails on top would be kinda cool

I dont want to remove anything in the game.. am I weird? Shocked
Would be cool if Ewar ships had more antennas and animated parts Smile

Would be cool if ships that get a sig radius mwd bonus would get extra details on the engine parts to show a small visual difference , maybe like engine flaps around the thrusters to lower the heat signature of the mwd's or something..

Eve designs should watch Babylon 5 , draw a few design ideas from there Blink


With that said maybe the lore writers / designers in eve watched Babylon 5 and the minmatar are partially based on the poor Narns who got their planet turned to a brown dust world.
So if they build their ships on desert / dusty planets maybe that would make their metals rusty looking? Big smile

Machariel:
- Hell ya, more please. (Just needs side-landing bays for the Vipers..er...Heavy Drones...)

Amarr:
- Arbitrator, Pilgrim and Curse are win, so using those lines as a base of reference is win, IMHO...
- Prophecy, Omen, Harby -- lose the bird beaks..
- Legion w/ tactical targetting, lose the shaved-chicken look (from side view)
- Legion w/ locus, does it really need to look like a fricken elephant? Jeebus...

Minmatar:
- Hurricane, Rifter, Maelstrom, Tempest are win, use their lines as base of reference....
- Most others, Cyclone, Loki -- just look 'weird' with weird blocky or extraneous bits hanging off; no one would really build a ship like that...impoverished slave baggage doesn't mean lack of all aesthetic taste...

Gallente:
- Megathron, Myrm are cool and distinctive...those lines as base of ref are win...
- Domi, the space potato must die in a fire...seriously stupid looking. Brutix isn't far from aweful either....

Caldari:
- Drake, Gnosis, Heron, Scorpion, Raven get a thumbs up...but even those are a little blocky..
- Hookbil, Merlin, Caracal...yuck. Blackbird...meh, you can have an ECM boat without all the...blocks...

In general design terms the renderers lost the plot going for 'distinctive' or 'weird' trumping 'sleek'.. Humans now and in the future will care about aesthetics, just look at how today's car and ship lines have progressed from blocky functional, to sleek and nubile...

Going forward, if an EvE ship doesn't get a checkmark for 'sleek' (like the Machariel, Hurricane, Curse, Pilgrim or Rifter -- it should go back to the drawing board IMHO...

Would you like to know more?

Whoever said the Scythe has no heart. I fly a Scimitar sometimes and I love my space mantis.

From a Minmatar point of view, I'd REALLY like the Bellicose to get a remodel. I don't fly the T1 ship, but I love flying a Rapier, except for how godawful the model looks. At least I can stay cloaked most of the time...

Also, anything that looks remotely like an Angel ship is fine with me. We could definitely use more hulls with those design principles.

As CCP changes the balance of ships they should at least remodel the ships to reflect the new fittings. Please start with the Myrmidon and remove the now defunct sixth turret mount.

LIKED!
You are awesome.
Add Raven to the list too. It's physically disabled and tiny, doesnt feel like a battleship.
Also I wish they would spend some time remodeling the T2 ships, like what they did to bombers.

in my opinion, Caldari BS need to get bigger about 30-35% more

Average length for each Empire BS
Amarr: 1,287 meters
Gallente: 1,196 meters
Minimatar: 1,193 meters
Caldari: 821 meters

The majority of Caldari Frigates and Cruisers. Quite frankly, they suck. Think "Romulan". But blue-grey.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

my only vote is to trade the minmatar rookie ship with the minmatar shuttle. that ship model needs to be a combat ship hands down.

On topic:

-Raven ( don't fly one because I hate the look, like a bird with a broken wing)
-Imicus/Helios (sadly, the "spaceturd with a kickstand" description is rather accurate)
-Moa (would already look much better if the right part also had a lowered section)

Slight tangent:

Devs: As a not-graphically gifted person, reading that 1 ship per 3 months is not doable sounds very odd.
If you say it's so, it's so, but it does make me curious. What takes so long in designing a ship model?
From my inexpert point of view i'd say:
-come up with a proper design
-draw it up
-add color scheme
-add functions(turrets and whatnot)
-additional animation(since everyone likes lights on ships)

What am I missing? Or is the art department simply overstretched designing other things?

Actually almost every capital ship needs a remodelling, scale wise. Some ship models are too small.

That's because the Raven and the Scorpion are the widest battleships in EVE... Battleship size is fine, in my humble opinion.
