Wooooooooooooooo! Those of you who've seen for yourself and seen it on youtube already know, but for those that don't: Eos, Absolution, Sleipnir, and Nighthawk have had their models changed to Myrm, Harby, Cane (!!!), and Drake (!!!!!!)

Rejoice!

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

That nighthawk is uglier than my sister.

And my sister is pretty bad.

To be fair what does a gallente pilot know about symmetry and shapely wingy things Blink

I do not really understand the reason for it I am afraid. So they wanted to change them from existing models and they changed them into existing models.
I just think it would have been better if they utilised their arts team and had them develop new ship skins is all.

I was hesitant to it too till i tried it out on Sisi. Something feels more satisfying about the cane hull than the clone hull.

Does this mean they are also researchable from the new model's BPO? like Sleipnir from Cane BPO/BPC?

Yes. Invention will be based off of the new hull type and the new hulls will be required during production.

well, it may have to do with the hurricane looking like a giant badass rusty spearhead with spikes on it (y0 dawg)...

I should buy an Ishtar.

I hope they do this for all T2 ships with duplicated ships models (ie. all the advanced frigates)

Which kinda sucks for a cosmetic change. Couple bil in new BPOs to get for invention. Ah well.

I love the Eos change, but hate the sleipnir one. The sleip was one of the sexiest ships around I wish they'd changed the claymore to the 'cane model just to keep the sleip sexy.

I was thinking that too

Tristan as an Ishkur would be awesome.

Maybe have the Tormentor as a Vengeance.

Breacher as a Jaguar.

And a Kestrel as ....one of those...I dont use caldari much xD

(P.S. Tormentor should be more of a drone boat to match the lines of ships)

The Drake is a Lie
