Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Right now the Omen has this weird thing sticking off of the side of it. It looks basically like an Impairor landed on the side of the Omen hull and decided to stay there.

I don't know what the thing is, but supposedly it's a drone-bay, a hanger, or some sort of storage depot or something. Whatever it is, it looks really stupid.

It really looks like somebody just attached a noob ship Impairor to the side of the hull, and for some reason they thought it was a good idea. Maybe it was, back when Eve had graphics like World of Warcraft. But in this day and age, the thing just looks plain stupid.

Basically it looks really dumb and it should be fixed so it looks less dumb.

I love the Omen hull but this tumor / goiter / suitcase / drone-bay / whatever-the-heck-it-is thing really ruins the look of the hull.

It doesn't need to be completely gotten rid of in favour of a more symmetrical ship design, but it could at least be tweaked so that it looks more like a practical ship feature, and looks more cool, rather than the way it looks now.

It could be turned into an actual drone bay, for instance, and could stick out a little less, which would make it look a lot less stupid a more cool.

It just needs to be edited so it looks less dumb.

Please and thank you.

Edited the post dramatically to try and be nicer, and to make more sense.

this again...no

Could be something else, but I would miss something on the Omen if it weren't there. Besides of that, it's the drone bay of the ship; you can't just remove that.

The last guy called it a tumor,
I don't remember what the guy before that called it.

While I'm not particularly fond of the hull I will concede that it's in need of some attention,
the bulge should remain a design feature.

It may be true that the thing sticking out the side of the Omen is a drone bay or whatever, it could be any technical feature of the ship, it doesn't matter either way. But this simple fact alone doesn't mean that we need this big thing sticking out of the side. There's no reason for this drone bay to be sticking this far out of the ship, and there's no reason why they couldn't place this drone bay on the under-belly of the ship somewhere and make it stick out less, or even just make it a less major bulge in it's current position.

They could extend and flatten this bulge to make it less apparent. There are so many options to deal with this.

There is also the possibility of editing this hull and making two smaller drone bays on either side of the ship, that way we would have a symmetrical Omen with a small tumor on either side rather than one big suitcase hanging off of one side.

I'd be happy with just leaving the goiter / suitcase / thing exactly where it is, but editing it dimensions to fit more aesthetically with the ship.

I do have OCD, but I don't care about whether it is technically symmetrical or technically asymmetrical; I just think that this big ass tumor is way too big and ugly and there is no reason for it to be this huge pimple hanging off of it.

It's not the fact that it is asymmetrical. I really don't care whether it is symmetrical or not. I just think this giant thing hanging off the side is ugly and it should be edited.

Get over it. Weird asymmetrical protrusions are a time-honored ship design trait of many iconic ships. It makes you REMEMBER them.

Some examples:

- Atron/Taranis/Ares
- Catalyst/Eris
- Coercer/Heretic
- Dragoon
- Vexor/Vexor Navy/Ishtar
- Thorax/Deimos
- Omen/Omen Navy/Zealot
- Eagle/Onyx
- Megathron/Megathron Navy/Kronos
- Typhoon/Panther
- Tempest/Tempest Fleet/Vargur
- Rokh
- Raven/Raven Fleet/Golem
- Aeon
- Thanatos


It is like listening to music that is slightly off-key at certain parts. For some songs, it works... but you remember all of them specifically because it was "slightly off."

Please listen.

It is not about whether it is symmetrical or asymmetrical. That is not what this is about. If CCP were to strap on another goiter on the opposite side of the ship, it would not make me happy just because it makes it symmetrical.

The point is the thing is stupid and ugly. If they fixed it the ship would look much better, I don't care whether it is symmetrical or not.

I think the stupid thing is ugly and I think it should be fixed. I'm not gonna get over it. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe the majority of players find this protruding nut-sack aesthetically pleasing.

Just understand that this symmetrical / asymmetrical debate has nothing to do with it, really. If you guys are in love with asymmetrical ships, I don't care. I just think that this one happens to be ugly because of a poor design choice.

Fix the Svipul first. It's easier, I guess...
