The SVIPUL's extra bank of weapons is outstanding.

I just wanted to say that, while I realize the animations of the model probably made it more important this time than it has been in the past, I think that the complete 3rd bank of weapons on the Svipul is great looking and also completely practical on this model.

I had know that we were getting the occasional "ghost turret" added to certain models from time to time, to enable us to have weapons configurations on our ships that don't look lopsided if it ended up being an odd amount (on certain hulls). And I though this was an excellent (and harmless) way to add to the beauty of the game.

But I didn't expect it to go to the extent of a full 3rd set of hard points on the hull. I suppose it shouldn't have surprised me, but it did. I mean if you can add one ghost turrent, why not 7 right?

Anyway, it looks great and is entirely appropriate when you consider the animations available to the hull. I hope we see this again where appropriate. Ships fairly bristling with guns are a good thing for EVE.

For those that haven't noticed it, you can see it in my latest EVE video here:
