I'm honestly not sure if this is even planned on, but I had an idea for something to include on whatever the new model may be.

Since it is an EWAR (specifically, ECM) platform, perhaps a dome type feature (similar to that found on the AWACS aircraft) and/or some "obvious" electronic pods sideslung on the hull, similar to FLIR and other electronic pods seen on combat aircraft worldwide.

Due to the large number of pinned threads, this disappeared off the front page fast. Any other support and/or suggestions for this?

I'll support anything that calls for a redesign of any Caldari ships...

qft....

its basically the only model that has been pretty good the whole time. I'd iike to see it in t2 color schemes one day....about the only change I'd like. The new skins are a nice consolation prize till that day happens though.

They redo the Moa which was a funny little model. Not the most beautiful thing, but you got used to it and grew fond of it.

Yet they leave the Blackbird as is? Its hideous. Really needs a remodel asap.

I totally approve this. Though I think the blackbird actually isn't as bad at other ships in eve. Ironically, its assymmetrical hull is still much better balanced and more believable than many other hulls that most players don't have a problem with.

The Slasher, for example, has absolutely horrible thruster placement. The thing should never be able to "fly" straight in space with those thrusters completely off-center from the rest of the unbalanced ship.

I won't name all the other ships that desperately need a remodel to start making a minimum amount of sense. Just draw a straight line through the thrust axis to figure it out. Now imagine it's the main thrust vector. If it isn't in line with the area where the center of mass could be, your ship isn't going anywhere. At least, not any where you want it to go and definitely not how you would want it to get there...

Amen. Leave the sniping railgun choo choo train alone.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

A ship model that more accurately reflects its role/function sounds good to me.

Leave the rokh as is, just give us the option of putting comically oversized flashlights and optics on its tactical rail.

And paint it a cheery blue with a face on the front? Cool

Yes, I should have amended it to read "any Caldari ships below battlecruiser class".

Flatten it down, and go with the stealth angular lines on it since it supposedly says it focuses on having highly advanced electronics. Basically the same general model, but with lines and angels that look more like this: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs40/f/2009/011/b/3/V35_STINGRAY_STEALTH_FIGHTER_by_Kronium.jpg

just NO!

Leave the Blackbird as she is and give her a tiny 6000% ecm strenght buff instead.

Shocked The Rohk in dark-gray/black looks bad ass. CCP, need paint nowz!

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.
