Incursus/Enyo/Ishkur. Harpy. Megathron. Damnation. Hurricane.

Perhaps in that order.

I know I would prefer them to be painted, without lighting.

Cruiser hulls

Printable hulls would be amazing.


Other things I'd like:

I'd like wall stickies that are removable. I own my home and can punch holes in it but think of the epic battle scenes I could create under my Minecraft pickaxe on my wall.

And an Eve coloring book while I'm having random ideas. Start the kids early.

There really isn't enough information in this post; what are CCPs expectations?


  • What scale are we looking at (I know, frigates and dreads at the same scale would be silly.)?
  • What price range are you looking at? $40-60USD, or $250+USD?
  • What materials? Resin, Resin & PE, Poly?
  • Materials choice will lead to feasibility of lighting the project.
  • If fully assembled, what quality is the final finish? While nifty from a distance, the Rifter USB hub showed some eye-twitching flaws RE: panel fits, misalignments, questionable fastening choices (the raised bosses on the wingtip pods in particular), and somewhat slapdash weathering that, while somewhat acceptable from a toy standpoint, would not be on a high-dollar display model.
  • Unfinished would relate to materials used and the layout of parts. Single piece with appropriate widgets, or multipart hull? If multipart, have provisions been made for lighting or modding? Have the part joins been engineered to be hidden wherever possible, or will there be large seams to fill and blend?


Personally, I'd love a resin/PE Maelstrom kit in the 30 cm range. It'd probably run in the $150-200USD range, but the potential detail would be stunning.

I would love to see a "Large (30cm?) fully painted and lighted Nyx" (It would stand wonderfully next to my Fully painted and lighted enterprise-D

A fully painted but non lighted model, I would love to see the Rifter, Incursus, Bellicose and Dramiel.

As a build it yourself, do a Nightmare, every single spike separately.


I'd drop a coupla hundred on a perfectly made lighted Nyx model...

Comet

...The Police skinned-one. 20 cm maximum. Pre-painted. Red-Blue LED where it belongs. Preferably USB-based (powered through USB) and slap in a couple USB slots (make it an USB hub, akin to the Collector's Edition Rifter).
LED Behavior:
Red+Blue lit when online (connected to PC), Blue only when USB device is connected to the hub, red+blue blinking when data goes through.

I would pay up to 30 dollars on such a thing, more if it really looks polished.

Phantasm

...but it might prove to be a bit dangerous to handle, because of the sharp nose knife and whatnot :)

Myrmidon, Lighting and Painted. the stand should be a solid base stand with a smei-flexible rod to hold the ship.Reason is it is the most dangerous ship in the game.
as for a 2nd i would say the Zealot, lighting and colored, the base should be a static stand that holds it at the bottom.
as for materials i would say a plastic coated with resin to add durability and feel to them.

Favorites:
- Police Pursuit Comet (with light effects ofc.)
- Damnation or related hull
- Myrmidon or related hull
- Pretty much all the Attack BC look sweet too (Oracle, Naga, Tornado, Talos)

Cheers!

I would actually like ships where you can assemble and paint them yourselves.

I would like an updated Megathron model, any variation. The original Polystone models are about a foot long, and are very nice display pieces, so around that size is good.

However detail in the original models was a bit lackluster, please include more detail, preferably through the physicality of the model itself rather than the paintjob…NO SLACKING! Big smile

Thorax

material: glass

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Following rules: Ishtar

(yes, boring model but my favorite ship)

Additional comments:

Make ALL of them in this size: http://www.angelfire.com/biz/toysoldierhq/zmpcminipl2.jpg

I want to see dozens of every single ship in every kid's toy box, with replacement fleets a $20-50 shopping trip to Toys 'R Us away. Make some of them rare to find in assortment packages. Gotta catch 'em all and all that jazz.

Also, make styrene models that you build of the more popular big ships.

Alternately, contact Hot Wheels and make them roughly that size.

I want a small gang on my desk at work, not just one fancy model that cost me an arm and a leg.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Apocalypse Navy Issue!

It would be awesome to have all the models to scale with one another.
