The lauchers hardpoint on the Navy issue Caracal are asymetric and distributed all over the hull.
On the Cerberus, which sports the same number of missile launcher slots, the 6th and 5th launcher slot share the same hardpoint, resulting in an ugly clipping error when the bird goes into warp (2 launchers on the lower right get stacked on top of each other).
There's 7 distinct engine nozzles in fixed places on the model. but only 3 weakish engine trails so far.

Hi,

Thanks for bringing these to our attention, afraid to say that the Cerberus launcher issue is already known to us and we're looking into now. But I'll go and inquire about the engine trails, though this could be an artistic decision. Will update when I find out.

wasn't the cerberos supposed to receive a slightly different model as the t1 base hulls?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Gonna have to say that this is by design i'm afraid, personally I think having 7 engine trails would be interesting but on the other hand it could create a lot of noise on screen.

But if you do see anything that you think doesn't look correct please do fill out a bug report for us to look over, it allows us to at least start a dialogue about these things as well as actually fixing graphical issues with the game.

i thought the cerberus was supposed too get a modified model? http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/30i284/i_was_bored_so_i_redesigned_the_cerberus/

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Yes, when people tell me the new model was in this patch I just get happy because of the cerberus..
Them I am unhappy again.

Why did it not get the announced model?

Best post ever!

The current Cerberus model (which matches the new Caracal) is temporary while we finish work on the new Cerberus model. It's coming soon.
