I really like the head/bridge/cockpit/whateverthehellyouwanttocallit part. It looks pretty cool. I don't however like the wings. Whilst that would look cool as a smaller frigate sized ship, I dont really think it looks like a battleship hull anymore. But either way, I will still skill for one Big smile

It does look pretty baddass from the rear though...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Golem looks a lot better than before. Well done CCP. I like the hammerhead masculine look.

5 isk that golem is largely final.
Come take the bet if you dare. Smile


Well, for one thing which is easy to miss is that the Golem in the video there has no lights coming from it. Which really makes it look "flat" and uninteresting. So over the next few updates of Singularity players will see it update also.


Well have to say covering an ugly Christmas tree with lights rarely makes it look like a beauty of a tree. Ugh

Not impressed. Don't like the head. I keep thinking of a fish, when I'm expecting some sort of brid!? The "wings" have yet to grow on me. A hammerhead with wings? Maybe a tail?

What was the reasoning behind the change in the model for the Golem whilst leaving the other Marauders alone?
An answer to this would make me pretty happy.

Lights are not going to significantly change the model. I have a lot of 3D modelling experience and I know it's frustrating to have unfinished work judged, but suggesting that lights are going be some magical finishing touch that makes it ultra cool is just silly. People aren't complaining about a lack of lighting - they don't like the shape of the 3D model.

Personally, I don't mind the new Golem. I sort of, kind of like the shape. But I'm certainly not in awe of it. It actually seems rather wimpy looking compared to the Raven. Whereas all the other Marauders that we've seen are beefier.

The Bastion animations also need huge improvements. I'm sure they are unfinished but what we have now on Singularity... I mean, I'll just flat out say they look weak and pathetic. I sure hope you have some tricks up your sleeve with them. The CCP art department is capable of top quality work. It delivers it regularly.

So far, Bastion and the Golem aren't up to your own standards. I'll give the benefit of the doubt for now, though. The Talwar turned out a lot better than people expected when they first saw it, after all.

But I think players just want to nudge you so their expectations are met.

The Golem didn't have a unique model. The Apoc, Kronos, and Vargur all have models that are phsyically different from their T1 counterparts. The Golem was exactly a Raven with a different texture.

Although the raven hull looks far better than the new golem look. Why don't they just take the right-side of the raven model and mirror it on the left, keep the front badtion missles but add four more middle slots. Two topside and two bottomside of the hull? That would make it awesome. Bear

Someone should shop that or import both models into 3DS and do a mockup. I bet it would look better than what we're getting.

I'm not opposed to the new hammerhead nosecone though.

Thanks for the link. I like it. I think I'll go find the correct forum and tell them they're doing a good job.

Meaning that it's getting some lights, but will in fact remain as it is in the current server now.

Well, I never liked the old Raven hull much. This new Golem hull has made me ADORE the old one. I had never considered how bad it could have been.

That thing is HIDEOUS and uninspired. Fugliest battleship, second to none.
