Modified new Caracal

compare to the current one

Current new Caracal


I definitely hope I'm not the only one who find that weird nose thing ugly...

Of all the ships in Eve that need a new design, or at least a polish, the Caracal isn't one.

How about we get the new Domi that was shown off this time LAST YEAR?
Then we can hit monstrosities like the Osprey, and Bantam.

I quite like the CCP version for what it's worth.

Gotta agree.. the edited version is nice, but I'll be honest, it looks like it could be from any other Scifi. It's safe and generic.. The CCP one keeps that unique flare.

Either is pretty nice.

Dominix?
Osprey?
Bantam?

Those are all perfectly fine ships if you ask me oO

Burst, Rupture, Prophecy...these are ships that I would like to have made more interesting.

The edited one looks like a redesigned Hookbill. And it begins to look generic and plane-like. One of the reasons why I like EVE is because it mostly avoids boring space jets. The CCP one is better, but I'm not sure if I like it better than the existing Caracal. In some ways it's an improvement, but I miss some things about the current one. I feel like they might have gone too far and something in between the two would have been better. The profile silhouette is better on the current one, and I miss that raised shape in the middle of the neck.

Domi is fine, but the new design is better.
Osprey and Bantam are imho two of the worst looking ships in Eve.
Burst, I'll add to that list. Rupture needs an update but otherwise good. And I for one like the look of the Prophecy.. Gotta love that plucked Chicken :)

CCP Long one is much better. Looks like a modernize caracal!!!

Been around since the beginning.

Just a suggesting but, hellll no.

Caracal has to have the long pointy part. Aint no one cutting that off.

Besides, it would look too similar to the Maller and fighter bomber Mantis. Which I'm not sure would be a good thing.

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

Not necessarily, but it's obviously a sticking point with some... Lol

Modernized? Hardly.

Retro is what it looks like. From back in the days of low poly models when all space games (Freelancer, for example) had these angular ships. All flat planes with no rounded anything.

Having said that, I think it looks better than the current one. We need a little retro sometimes.

As to the other one, looks more like a Moa than a Caracal.

I'd say it's following the theme of a lot of the Caldari redesigns, which are more angular.

Well a long hull has been part of the ship for a long time, obviously those who use the ship a lot probably wouldn't be that impressed if it suddenly disappeared. I'm not saying this is the best it can be but, removed entirely is a dramatic change.

The modified is much better. The front of the Caracal never made sense, it is ugly and is a structural weakness.

You could call it retro, but a 'modernize' version, meaning a higher-poly count + sleeker 'skin' theme and edges is more appropriate.

If they would have kept the skin color and shape, you could call it retro, but it's a lot more sleeker now.

Has always been a ship I found to have alot of character and I like that CCP has been able to keep the character but still make it look like a warship.

For the love of God CCP, if you're going to stick with that lowered front fuselage look, then please put some more engines on the bottom center and wing tips so that the aggregate thrust is somewhere close to the CENTER OF MASS!!!!

You've seen some of the Gallante ships, yes?
