Out of all the ships in eve the chimera is probably at the bottom of the list as far as needing a model update but This has got to be one of the ugliest things i have seen right up there with the old moa.

current chimera looks strong and elegant, it looks like something able to get that 20mEHP but this new one looks like the exhaust of a shuttle would snap it

This was the planned design for like the past two years, I'm glad it's finally being released. My only critique is that it appears really light on the polys.

That's not so bad, it has the proportions of a giant Rokh. My gripe is that is also has the same level of detail.

You realize you're looking at it from the rear, yes?

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Did you read the post from CCP Guard? He indicated it utilizes new textures like the Citadels - so as you get closer there is apparently more detail.

Looks great. Looking forward to the rest of the carrier redesigns - then super carriers and a new and improved Wyvern.

"One thing we didn't mention about the re-design is that it uses the same texture tech as citadels where more details emerge the closer you get. Great for a better sense of scale :)"

Yeah Im not impressed with the new designs. And its sad that the new carriers will go away from the prehistoric animal designs they seem based on to be something so generic and imo fugly.Ugh

Ah well cant win em all.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

You talk **** about the Chimera redesign when the thrasher redesign exists.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

at least the thrasher redesign doesn't just look like they took all the armor away and left the core

Chimera is shield tank. It really does not need to have heavy armor and structure.
