Dear CCP

The Tristan is a wonderful ship, but oh so ugly it almost looks Caldari. Please consider laying this tired old joke of a ship design to rest and give it a new look! I cannot, for the life of me, think of anything else than a fat guy carrying an American football.

Thank you for your consideration.



Don't you dare suggest changing the Tristan!!! I have good memories of my flying octopus!

Great, now all I'll think of is the Pillsbury Doughboy whenever I see a Tristan... Lol

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Interesting.

Despite all of you positing that this ship most closely resembles an obese man with a football, I still see nothing but some sort of weird starfish.

I've always thought it looked like a crab.

One notes that most of the endearing comments about the ship are because it's... comic relief. Not many actually think it looks wicked cool.

Now THIS is somerthing I could fly and not be ashamed of! Let's hope someone at CCP shares my plight and puts this re-design on the top of the pile :)

I was a bit depressed when the Nemesis went from being a torpedo-heaving fat kid to the Batwing. And the Hound lost its shark fin.

And the Comet lost its police paint job.

The artists obviously hate us.

Blanking signatures doesn't seem to work, so this is here.

Don't worry that was just my attempt of a bad joke.

My Fat man... touched by a beatifull young lady... hue hue hue durrrr....

I know, I've made worse jokes with a better punch line but this one was not only bad but also disgustingly boring. Ugh

EDIT: That's by the way the point were I'd expect people to go all "facepalm" and *double facepalm" etc. on me. Cool

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

I thought it always looked like some sort of evil armored cyborg space eye with machinery attached to it.

Well if there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that the Tristan looks a helluva lot more like [insert random object here] than it does a ship. The Tristan redesign mock-up that was linked earlier looks beastly. If the Tristan gets changed to that, I might not mind the Ishkur getting the Tristan's model.

Just kidding, touch my Ishkur and I'll hurt you in all the meaningful ways. Evil

That was just before the ship's role was revamped into a form that I really liked. I expected the new model to be introduced at the same time, so I stockpiled a few for future use.

They are still sitting untouched in my hangar - the ugliest, stupidest-looking ships in all of EVE. There is no way I would undock one in the current version - it would be too embarrassing to bear thinking about.

Please bring in the new version, CCP, and while you're about it include the new versions of the Imicus, Navitas, Atron and Crucifier - all also shown at 2012 Fanfest.

The new Tristan and Atron hulls are illustrated in the 10th Anniversary book, so why the delay?

The Tristan was my favorite ship to fly when I could only fly frigates, I always imagine the plates swaying gently against inertia and falling back slightly against the heliosphere when travelling at "high" speeds.

Do like the fanfest version, but as someone pointed out the abominations of the dominix and moa still exist...

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

Tell where it is tackled and i will come help.
don't worry OP help IS on its way

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85
