Love the new Exequror - Did CCP hire a genius?

Or at least hire a normal person who understands (and perhaps has read the science) that human beings find symmetry attractive.

The old design looked positively stupid or Quasimodo'ish.

Let's face it, nobody wants to **** that.

The new design is eminently more ****able.

If you want to do asterisks with your ship, the Exqueror was never your ideal anyway. Thorax ftw! :)

Just as a note of clarification, the Exequror is still asymmetrical... it's just more subtle about it. Smile

I think you just like it because it is way more phallic.

So I wasn't the only one looking for asymmetry. A lot of companies only paint one side of things and just copy it, I for one like that CCP doesn't. Sometimes things don't line up when you do.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

I dunno, it doesn't look very Gallent...ish to me. It's as if it was rushed.

It is still an ugly Gallente ship.Would be nice to find a real improvement to their ships.

I personally like asymetrical ships.

Tbh, when I started playing EVE, I could not look at any Ships except for the Amarrian ones, but I now learned to love them all. I literally like the look of every single ship now.

Everything has beauty in it, somewhere. The old Blackbird, for example, had its beauty somewhere deep inside, not visible to our eyes.

I'm not a fan of the front of the Exequror. Its texture is full of details but the 3D model is just flat. Its a bit underwhelming.

Sadly that's a trend with new models : Blackbird, Exequror, Mordus, they all have little white dots, little things on their hull.. But it looks like a sticker on a plastic surface (like a toy) rather than an actual ship.

Im my opinion, you'd be better off with less details in the texture (because at current max resolution they get pixelized very fast), and more details in the 3D model.

Also, the chrome on the exequror isn't really pretty in my opinion. The navy exeq is where the model shines the most :)

I tried to like the new Exequeror as it's a ship type I fly a fair bit but I can't seem to. It's overly symmetrical for me and just looks wrong from some angles, especially from the back, and there's something about the engines that isn't right now.

To me it is the redesign of the engine department that makes me like the new Exequror more than the old one, the old one looked to tail heavy to me, whereas the new design is much more pleasing.

Now i only wish for a reskin opportunity for the navy exequror, like maby a serpentis version, because space camo is not really me Smile

Yeah, but of the ships with that camo pattern, the navy exequror is the one that actually makes it look tough.
