Real simple change and would just involve changing models...

How about splitting the models for AFs like HACs are

So for example...
Enyo stays as Incursus model since its like the incurus
Ishkur takes on a Tristan model... more drone focused

Harpy stays as Merlin...
Hawk takes Kestrel...

Retribution stays as punisher
Vengeance becomes tormentor

Jag as rifter
Wolf as breacher

I'm sure CCP still has the old bomber models laying around... could use those or just throw some extra dodads on the existing t1s and reskin.

Would yall like that? if so lets raise this so CCP can see this!

The breacher is scaffolding. The Rifter is iconic. You chance the wolf, or the jag, and I will cut you.

Vengeance becoming Tormentor and Wolf becoming Breacher make little sense.
Other than that, while I'd like those ships being more than reskins, BC model change shows that people would rather see new models rather than having their ships changed into something they don't like, albeit temporarily.

While we are at it, Breacher could use a remodeling pass itself.

Didn't we do this discussion last week?

I am mostly ambivalent on this subject.
What concerns me more is swapping the Tormentor and inquisitor.

The only reason I would see do doing this would be as an offshoot of the tiericide, but on the industry side. I think as long as there are tech 1 frigs with no tech 2 variants, there shouldn't be 2 or more tech 2 variants of any frig.. make sense? so sure, split the hawk off to a different hull, but there is already a tech 2 version of the Kestrel. So what that REALLY means is we need a tech 2 Bantam baby!

I like that AF models at least have some extras on them, not just pathetic recolor.
There are ships which needs new models more (eg. like all interceptors - just recolors).

I take the blame for bringing this up about a month ago.

We had this repeatedly already and it's always the same noobs asking and demanding this. Simple answer: NO.

Also:

NO. You are wrong here and you should feel bad for that. If we follow the pattern, the Retri gets the Tormentor hull and the Veng stays with punisher. The other way around is, by all logical and emotional means, just wrong. For even thinking it the other way around after the CS switch, you should discontinue your account(s).

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Never forget.
