CCP is doing an amazing job on new ship designs, however several ships in game still look like they originated in Chernobyl. I was curious as to what ship models they might be remaking this year, so I felt like asking everyone here what gives you eyesores when it comes to the out-dated ship designs still creeping around. This is one that should really be in game at some point in the future:
http://www.evemanufacturing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dominix-fanfest-redesign.png

Here's my list of ships that need rethinking in the looks department as well as my thoughts on them:
Frigates:
• BANTAM (No Seriously)
• IMICUS (My 4yo cousin's toys look less telletubbyish than this ship)
• Griffin (Doesn't exactly look like a flying jamming device)
• Navitas (No fish in EvE)
• Slasher (Less robomoth meets metal detector & more tyrfing [FB] meets Valkyrie [drone]
• Burst !! Just flip it on its side & add a new pilot deck CCP!! Mini tempest style = perfect!!

Cruisers
• BELLICOSE (Needs a whole new look, can't salvage any of that contraption)
• Scythe (Boring, could be much cooler as a smaller tornado-ish design that looks like a scythe)
• Rupture ( it's a cardboard box)
• Caracal (keep the engines they're fine)
• Vexor (hasn't really changed in looks since like 2004)
• Celestis (Another contraption, needs whole new look)
• Osprey (it's arms are trying to do the tango)

Others
• Aeon (Flip the stretched turtle shell on top of the center landing strip and bam! Super giant Providence [freighter]

Caracal (and variants) would be at the top of my list.

As of yet not in the game ship. I want new stuff not the hammering of the stuff we have 'til it's dead. Some ships should not be changed.. it doesn't matter if they are ugly.. ships are not all designed the same way and ugliness should be allowed. but let's not wreck anything else please.

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

While I'm all for new ships, barring that I certainly won't object to occasional redesigns of existing ships. It's probably a lot easier than introducing a new ship that has to be balanced.

No no NO. No. Stop with the new ships.

We don't need any more NEW SHIPS.

CCP doesn't balance the ships we already have.

I agree with everyone off your toughts on ship redesigns except for the slasher Lol and the archon. (no capital redesigns needed really)

Some other ships that could use a make-over:

Armageddon - tho it looks good, it should be the next battleship redesign after the Dominix. Also we might get that Bhaalgorn a special new look.

Atron - Something like this
Celestis - looks weird, nuff said.

Cormorant - needs a new look

Breacher - looks far too fragile

I know people are touchy about capitals, but in all honesty if people fly caps its gonna be due to their bonuses/ fitting/ and stat distribution.. a change in the ship model of just 1 supercarrier would have 0 ill effect on anything i would bet. Null Fleet combat could have teddybears instead of ships as long as they do their job, plus everyone's usually zoomed out anyway.

i felt that i had to mention the Aeon* though because it simply never gave me (and i assume some others can agree) that wow factor in a supercapital that need so much group logistical support to operate.. it should be visually motivating to some degree and not a sad representation of amarrian brilliance mastering armor, its like literally 1/2 of a ship lol

The archon is a regular cap. The Aeon is a supercap, that looks half finished.

I think archon looks fine. Aeon looks alil derpy though.

I agree with the sentiment on the breacher, aka the flying radio antenna. Since we need a new minmatar stealth bomber anyway, I'd settle for swapping out for the hound hull. The vigil looks more like an exploration hull than the probe does. More wings, auxiliary thrusters and antennae all around.

Since all the main lines have two attack frigates now, it'd be nice if we could divvy up the T2 AFs amongst them. The retribution should really be based on the tormentor, the hawk should be based on the kestrel, the ishkur should be based on the tristan and the jaguar probably needs to be put through a compactor until it some kind of usable missile boat emerges.

We definitely don't need a new lines of T2 logi frigates till we get a bantam update. That poor thing is just sorrowful.

would love to see something similar to the old scorp hull


(not the exact same ofc) but i did feel it fit the black ops look better than the current one


or more robust engines on the lot to reflect the jump drives they have strapped on to their subcap hull

With enough pages, this thread will eventually list ALL the ships, making it confusing for CCP. "They want us to change all of them, boss, what do we do?"

Just don't make them all look sorta the same. Don't make them all symmetrical. Don't make them all sleek arrowheads or klingon birds-of-prey. They should all look totally unique.

The Dominix is still coming! It got delayed to make space for other projects, including the T3 tactical destroyers and our various shading and texturing updates, but nobody's forgotten it. Other redesigns are also in progress.

Chimera? Any hints?
