Where were all you whiners when this idea was proposed? I remember when everyone I knew in EVE thought that a Kaalakiota Drake would be freaking awesome. Now that it is finally here CCP is drowning in tears. I'm surprised they modify the game at all with this crying.

I like the changes. Especially the CreoDron Myrmidon.

Whiners?
No one is against the t2 versions of said BC's.
In fact I welcome T2 Canes, Drakes and Myrms.

Just don't slap them on perfectly fine Commandship hulls.
The complaints are legit: most of these hulls are pretty damn signature to said ships.

Make a new, special BC class to use these hulls for.

Even with the update the command ships affected are still perfectly fine. I look forward to being able to fly an absolution again and will still fly the sleipnir. And really, looking at both I prefer a drake to a ferox in Kaalakiota colors.

Besides, when can we realistically expect another set of T2 BC's? Do we really have room for such a ship without further exasperating the issue of ships stepping on each others toes, something BC's of all categories are infamous for? What role would they serve? And personally, if we have to wait for all of that before getting these hulls, what are the chances of ever getting T2 ships with the ABC hulls?

I was very disappointed when they didn't give the nighthawk a 6th mid, myself. I've been campaigning for that on and off for at least six years, and the only time I got a dev response was to say that it might be looked at the next time the Nighthawk comes up for general review. Well, the Nighthawk came up for general review, and it still didn't get the sixth mid it needs to become a good ship.

Tempest Fleet issue killed in visual: check (lost square wings, station-camouflage painting)
Claymore killed both in visual and minmatarness: check (wanna fly a charcoal ?)

and ... Sleipnir killed in visual: check

I'm really disappointed, again. What is proposed here is merely change the hull into a faction T1 with a different color. I wouldn't have mind the sleipnir to loose it's hull if it was for a better one, but it's not. Not only for the sleipnir but also the other CS.

Let's just hope it's temporary

Not lying, you apparently didn't fly much these ships or didn't care. And when I look at other post it seems I'm not alone in thinking that it is not a model change but a texture change. I still don't understand why there's a few T2 ships which get a different hull and other not, this should also be part of balance ...

Post-V3 CreoDron colors are some kind of weird spectral green-blueish thing. A lot of the people who are commenting on the Eos having strange colors are only previewing it or only looking at it in their hangar. When you undock in it (so glad I got BC V and Command Ships I trained before their changes came through) it's the correct Post-V3 color.

Pre first graphics update, the Eos was white and Green :D

It would be nice to see some consistency out of these decisions.

Interdictors are also getting a rebalance with Rubicon. However, with this rebalance, there is no mention of changes to the models. This means that it's ok for the Flycatcher, primarily a missile ship, to continue to use the hull of the Cormorant, which is primarily a hybrid turret ship.

Yet somehow, it is wrong for the Nighthawk to have a Ferox hull instead of the Drake?

Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that. _ - Kina Ayami_

This brings up one thing that annoys me to no end: certain Tech II paintjobs are damn near indistinguishable from their faction's base colors.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm quite fond of how the new versions of the Absolution and the Nighthawk look thanks to their color schemes, but as for the other two? They are direly lacking in visual distinction from the base hulls. CreoDron colors inevitably wind up just looking like a slightly less shiny version of normal Gallente ships, and Boundless Creations - at least, as far as color goes - just winds up looking like a slightly brighter basic Minmatar ship. (I can't tell if the solar panel fins on the Sleipnir are any different from a Hurricane's because the resolution is so dang tiny.)

Adding a little bit of extra visual kibble would go a long way towards making the ships more distinctive. It works well enough for assault frigates.

I agree. A Kaalakiota Corax is too beautiful an idea to pass up. CCP should make it so!
