Been playing for a few months now and enjoying it.

But something that really bugged me about Caldari ships is the raven.

Nothing wrong with the way it handles or fights, just the looks.

After I did a bit of digging I found out that there was a old Scorpion.

If they did that for the Scorpion, how about changing the raven a little?


I think this picture sums it all up.

Personally I wouldn't mind the middle one, it doesn't look great but at least it is symmetrical, but the bottom one looks badass.

Assymertry is alright, Raven is fine to me.

Heh, you should take a look at the new Golem model on the test server.

While I don't dislike the Raven right now (and hate the new Golem), I would like to see those models used. Middle for regular and navy raven, bottom for Golem.

Caldari ships have always been wierdly imbalanced it's their theme.

There sure are alot of OCD people in EVE, never understood why people are so bothered by a little asymttery, I personally like it. Not that it matters anyway since if you aren't zoomed out so far you can't really see your ship you're doing it wrong.

There are higher priority reskins than the Raven, which is pretty nice compared to, let's say, the Falcon. I, too, would like the ugly ducklings brought back in some form, perhaps as variants or something.

I think the Raven model itself looks just fine, but the textures on it seem very low quality. It could use a retexturing.

They actually did the Raven, function over form is kind of a Caldari doctrine and so the ships reflect that, it's why so many of them are not symmetrical.

The old Raven was pretty much the same looking but less detailed and less aggressive looking.

Reality has an almost infinite capacity to resist oversimplification.

If you ask them to give the raven a new hull it'll look like the new golem. (don't)

However, make the Moa more akin to the ferox and rokh, and the blackbird just looks off.

+1 for bring old Scorpion back. I always liked the asymmetry of it.

Your quest for symmetry will be met with nothing but defeat.

I too like the old scorp better.. it had character and then they put cool sunglasses on it and suddenly the character turned into a douche.

Imo, if any ship needs remodeling, take a look at the gallente lineup. Most of them look like hommages to the various sides of a turd... whoever came up with dominix needs more fiber in their diet.

Bring back the old Widow, so that I can unleash experimental electronic warfare while being cool once again.

There are more important fixes than making ships pretty. This is Eve and not some rainbow Barbie game!
