Hadn't seen anyone suggest this after a quick search so thought I'd throw it out there.

So with the upcoming changes to the command ships hull models I thought I'd throw out the idea of also looking at doing the same for the AF's. After all, now with the T1 rebalance we now have 2 combat frigates for each race but the AF's use the same single hull model.

So for the sake of the variety how about:

Vengeance --> Tormentor Hull
Hawk --> Kestrel Hull
Enyo --> Tristan Hull
Wolf --> Breacher Hull

Would add a bit more visual variety and sync up nicely with HAC's which use two different models.

*Puts on flame retardant suit* Lol

Thoughts?

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

No.

Also, the AFs already have slight variations in their models already, at least the enyo and ishkur do.

They all do except for maybe the Hawk/Harpy? I have never taken a close look at those.

...

Are you high?

Why would the Wolf, a gunboat, use a missile hull? Where would you even put five guns on a breacher hull? The bloody thing is made out of scaffolding, and they couldn't even be bothered to plate it over this time.

I would hate to see an enyo made to look like a tristan. Maybe cutting off the pointy stick fueling boom like thingy would be nice though. It always annoys me as I see no purpose for such a thing on the ship other than artistic flair (which looks goofy).

No.

Manticore is the T2 Kestrel.
Nemesis is the T2 Tristan.
Hound is the T2 Breacher.

There's no T2 Tormentor, but there doesn't need to be anyways.

Sorry, but no.

I would love a kestrel hull assault frig, but... aren't the stealth bombers based on these hulls? Sort of?

There is one frig model per race that isn't used.

Anyway, don't fix what isn't broken. You'd get more support suggesting th veangeance get bonus to missilie velocity instead of bonus cap.

Those hulls are alredy in use by the Stealth bombers, though in somewhat modified form to make room for the torpedo launchers. Regardles of the altered appearance though, I see no reason to reuse the hulls in AFs. Also making the beautiful Vengeance use the hideous tormentor hull. No. Just no. No no no no no. Do NOT want to see that.
