Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I can understand the move to just reskinning existing models - art is usually the rate-limiting step in the development of any game. Creating new models, even ones that are slight modifications of existing ones, is time consuming, and art resources are already needed for the new deployable structures, SOE ships and whatever else has already been planned.

However, if you are going to do something, take the time to do it right. I haven't been seeing a lot of pressure for distinct models for these ships. Sure, I would like to see some distinction between them, visually, but can we have something other than a quick skin job?

If new command ship models are not on the horizon I approve of this change. Variety is nice and the new ships look great, I especially like the new Sleipnir.

Otherwise a pretty amusing thread.

Kaalakiota ships have the best paint jobs for caldari ships
I want a Kaalakiota Wyvern

Clay stays choo-choo? If so, ok.

Not a fan of the Nighthawk change, but if clay stays train all good.

now for a kaalakiota Cerberus please... ?????

and change the T2 frigs and cruisers for more variation please

Eos changing to the Myrmidon hull - finally.
Not sure how I feel about the change to the Sleipnir. It will take some getting used to since it's the ship I fly most frequently. That said if you could give it a black paint job like the Claymore it would get my full support. (I think forest camo patterns in space are ridiculous)

Has anyone mentioned yet that the harby already looked like a tampon? now its red...

dps "absorbant", has wings, is red.... battle chicken, becomes the battle tampon. For when a gurlz really serious. >.<

Leave the Sleipnir alone!

At least give it some kind of variant of the Hurricane model instead of just giving us a *slightly* different Hurricane Fleet Issue. Maybe something like what you all did with the Stabber hulls. Increase the whingy bits on the side so it follows the side of the hull making a V of solar panels and maybe one on the top like a sail or fin. I am not an artist or else I'd have drawn something out for you but don't just give us the same old model with a different cammo.

PS: Give it Zebra stripes!

I don't think the Minmatar quite understand what 'paint' is, let alone how to properly maintain the hulls of their ships- said paint would be gone in a few weeks regardless of what it was, leaving you with rusted hulls again.

Thanks but no lol

I don't see the point of doing that , now the Abso and Nighthawk are just horrible ><
