Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Why the heck should we play in hulls we got sick of? 1 year of drake just to sit in a... drake
the ferox hull atleast was new to missile users, and the myrmidon ? well.. maybe if they fix that horrible low polly tubes on the front -.-.

And srysly... there were sooo many awesome designs on the last deviant art contest.. just apply something fresh and menacing.

You can literally see the nervs of every eve player trobbing on their forhead in anticipation when they seen the new SOE ships.. just DOEEEET !

Well atm there are 3 cyclone models... So it's either 3 cyclones, or 3 cane models. As for "not adding variety" In terms of command ships it sure as **** adds variety.

Skins look decent. Sleipnir leaves some to be desired (like a bit of a change from the regular hull, add some sails, make more aggressive appearance. As is with the camo, it looks to close to the Fleet Issue)

Drake doesn't look bad, but again, changing up the model would be better. Granted, Black drake looks better than grey drake.

T2 Myrm looks sweet.

Abso looks decent enough.

Taking these are t2 hulls, it would be awsome to have new designs, based on the t1 varients, but significantly changed (like the SB to frigs), showing there was a rework to make them command ships.

But for now, this will do.
+1

I support this 100% and can't wait for the change.

the only way youll ever get me to like this change is promising me the whole command ships get awesome altered models in a future patch somtime soon.

else ill hate you forever for changeing the sleipnir and the nighthawk

I say umm noooo!

Reasons:

• This is not really needed.
• The names good Currently. This not go with the current naming seems of the other command ship counter part!
• This messes with t2 production now.
• Still disgruntled about name changes to the haulers.

While I approve of mixing things up and adding variety and spice to the game, I unfortunately have a negative opinion on changing both the names and the models of these ships.

models:

interceptors, assault ships, recon cruisers, and command ships all currently follow the same pattern of paired ships with set color schemes. If you change command ships arbitrarily, do you plan to change all of the others too? It doesnt seem very practical to me.

I cant speak for all the races, but it seems like drakes and hurricanes are already very popular models, to the point of overuse. Practically, and unfortunately, the only time you will see a ferox model is as a command ship. I do like variations on the skins, but we just got the Navy Faction versions to play with if we want different skins.

*suggestions*

1: If you REALLY want to mix the pairs up, remember there is another battlecruiser set available that is only being with one skin: naga, talos, oracle, and tornado. why not reskin those? \

2: Do what was done with the stealth bombers, sleek new models based on the old ones.

3: If you really want to make t2 drakes, hurricanes etc. just add a new class of battlecruiser. there is currently only one t2 variation. maybe make marauder-equivalent battlecruisers? or even t3 strategic battlecruisers? do something BIG and CRAZY! These ideas definitely leave you room to make changes, add new art, and still respect the current designs.

Names:

No. Each Empire has nice naming schemes that match their ideologies, history, and personality. The current names are perfect for reflecting that. Throwing out the old names for no good reason, just to add generic faction names seems wrong to me.

The names aren't changing. The post is identifying the hull and corp whose color scheme is being chosen.

No.


No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

You already have four battlecruisers that use large weapons! They're UTTERLY BROKEN and for the longest time, COMPLETELY PUT HACS OUT OF THE GAME FOR THE MOST PART.
