You're not weird. The Caracal is beautiful.

It's inevitable that the Caracal will get hit with the V3 bat sooner or later. It'd be nice if it got some slight visual upgrades, but nothing too major or there's a risk it'll lose some of it's beauty.


I would not go as far as you and call it beautiful, but it certainly has something to it. And the current model allows for some pretty neat modern models, which can easily retain the current shape of the Caracal and still look more contemporary.

I would also be fine with it being less tall. It kinda looks like it's shrugging at me when it doesn't do what I want it to...

The base concepts of most of the ships in EVE are pretty good. And so far, i really like how all model reworks have remained to a good degree faithful to the original.

Now, if you want to show your own vision of how the Caracal should look like, sit on your desk with the model viewer on and draw some lines. When you feel right with the shape, add some details. You don't need to be great artist to outline a neat silhouette.

Then, say: "This is how I've envisioned this one ship. I believe that those lines should stand at ht base of the model refresh. "

Do so, and you might get some positive feedback, alternative suggestions, etc. There was a thread about the typhoon a good time ago that was pretty successful and looking at the new typhoon, the devs may have indeed sourced some inspiration form that discussion.

B-b-but we gave you some feedback. I still do not think the Caracal needs to change at all.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

Caracal is awesome as is.

It's not the worst looking Caldari ship by any stretch, but it could certainly benefit from an upgrade.

Get a Cerberus. Otherwise hands off the Caracal model.

Caracal to me looks like a vessel out of F-zero. It's one of the reasons I picked caldari. it is a bit goofy looking in the current iteration, I hope when they look at its design they don't radically change the appearance, but add some clean and appealing features to the model.

Osprey on the other hand...

Echoing the distaste for the current osprey model, I think it is pretty whacked out looking as it stands, and could use some adjusting to make it fit with the fairly symetrical, delta wing style hull with potentially asymetrical bits related to function that has been the new shaping aesthetic for caldari.

My only beef with the Caracal is that the old Classic Client low-res model had a thruster on the lower body that made the ship look like it could fly without tipping forward constantly.

The only thing I want is that thruster back. The shape of the ship is fine by me.
