it would be kinda neat to transform in/out of warp

Here's an amateurish mock-up!

I want the Widow to fold its arms down when warping, so that it can bring them menacingly to bear when I come out of warp.

It would be cool but atleast the phoon already has animations...

I'd prefer it if the tail on the scorp line of ships goes from a "down at rest" to a "folded up into ready for pwning nubs" mode

it would be kinda neat if they made them useful in the first place, who care about the hull on some of the less used ships.

How are BLOPS not useful? Elite use of these ships by people like Masl or Gulnar (check their KBs, linking them in this forum is prohibited), or their use to gank stuff mercilessly in low sec or unsuspecting ratters/gate camps/etc demonstrates how useful they are. What else do you want? They will never be able to be used in big fleets in a way Navpocs, TFI or the likes are used, and they never should be able to. That is simply not their role and intended usage scenario. Get that in your heads and actually get good at the game.

As for the topic: The Dominix hull already has a concept for a new look, I hope it gets into the game sooner than later. That leaves only the Armageddon hulls with the old 2006 hulls. I'm not quite convinced with the mockup, though.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

i find the only ones who complain blops are not useful are the ones trying to use them for something other than their intent

Perhaps many years ago, this was true. These days, Black Ops Battleships are in a very good place.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

I would only +1 this if it would be overly dramatic and also happen when they jump. Because face it, most BLOPs get cynod into their prey and not warping to them. And who cares if you have a fancy transformation when you are clearing grid after you already podded the guy, its always better to get the guy to change his pants as the wings of their predator open up to reveal the talons of their demise.
