I'd like to see the commandship models getting the T2 treatment, meaning altered models still showing it was a Hurricane (for example) but got modified to be a Sleipnir.
Vagabond, Paladin and Vargur are some very nice examples of that.

In case of the Sleipnir, I like that it is now the more agressive looking Hurricane model but it lacks the round wingy bits brutor ships usually have. This, together with some other sleek alterations in the model would go a long way in differentiating Sleipnir from Hurricane.

Your request is actually already planned. In addition to the overall redesign of some T1 hulls (which will obviously affect the T2 versions, as shown in the Cruciifer/Sentinel change), there's an ongoing project to give all T2 hulls a unique look that is distinct from their T1 counterparts. The most visible and recent examples of this are in the changed Marauders and how they resemble but strongly differ from the battleships they are descended from.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on POV), art assets are not created overnight and the art department tends to take its time getting all the little details right. I hope for news by winter that T2-styled command ship hulls are being worked on, but we'll just have to see what we see when we see it.

+1 for real T2 Hulls like Stealth Bombers!

Oh no, the boosted version of my most loved hull in the game is about to go? :D
I love the hurricane hull for how it looks and feels to fly more than any other ship in the game and the sliep is just the same but a little bit better now :) Plus, the model swap was the only thing that made me buy one, I wasn't going to initially. The only command ship I considered buying was a nighthawk (I like it as Ferox, though).
So, well. Different people, different opinions. I didn't sell the nighthawk and ggot used to it, but still miss the old one.

CCP's working on the coloring, maybe I'll be able to get a black hurricane I dream about or flyable vulture... At least I hope so.

Think of it more like the the Tempest hull becoming a Vargur hull, except on a Hurricane instead.

Yummy Vargurcane.

Yeah but I hate vargur model enough to stop considering its purchase after they changed all tempest models (in 2012 I think?), even though I managed to survive the new look of other tempests

I agree with the OP, I would think in the future as they introduce their NEX store maybe this is something they could incorporate. Give the option to fly the alternate faction corporation's "build" of said T2 Hull.

If they want the NEX store to become a real thing this is one step in that direction I feel. Not that their current models for sale aren't bad or anything. Might as well give even more options by switching out T2 hulls.
