So, now that the chimera has been made all pretty and modern...can you guys finally fix the aeon model so it doesn't look like a makeshift asymetricall repurposed station plate?

They're probably going to be at least tweaking all the Capital models so they use the new Texture Tech and don't look quite so much like they were designed under a 250 polygon limit.

GET YOUR HANDS OF THE AEON!Evil Only people residing on the lower end of the intelligence spectrum* ask for a change to the Aeon model. People who understand the purpose of this design, however, appreciate the model. Since you belong to the first category, I'll explain it to you and the new CCP designers, just in case they get stupid ideas: The Aeon is a fortress on the battlefield, an impenetrable wall behind which fighters and fighter bombers can find shelter for repairs/rearming without having to fear attacks from enemies, and they can launch and land behind this massive wall without having to worry of getting shot by sniper ships (who have a very easy job at doing so on the Nyx, for instance), because the Aeon acts way behind the front lines and has an entire fleet of ships between itself and the enemy. The reason why *PROTLEOTIS ask for changes to this extremely practical model is because the dumb capsuleers do not know how to properly place their ships and just dumpster everything into one ball on the field like apes.

If anything, the Aeon just needs a bit of modernization and crisping-up its shape, but the overall model of the ship must remain as it is because it is extremely practical and meaningful.

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.

Well, I'm sure if you ask nicely, CCP can implement a ship model roll-back option for role-playing forum warrior retards like you!

Wow. I never thought I'd see someone defend the Sigil/Archon hybrid with such conviction.
Takes all kinds, I guess.

Just out of curiosity, what is the lore reason for the truck lift on the aft end? For changing its bombers' oil?

There are ways to achieve this without looking like a half built couch

Like the shallow trench on the Chimera or Wyvern? With the height of the Aeon's impenetrable wall, such a trench would look ridiculous. Such a trench would also limit mobility, available space and access vectors compared to the more open area of the Aeon's approach. Besides, the Aeon looks pretty much like a complete modern couch. The only thing missing are the legs to lift it up from the ground. What are you missing?

Looks more like a maintenance area where bombers can be repaired in space or a top cover for the launch tube in the back. But as it stands out as a rather unrefined piece of the model, it's one of the things that a modernization of the model can improve.

I think what we have here is a nasty case of bad design stockholm syndrome. Also, You're relying too heavily on imaginary practicality to justfy the aeon's design

I rely on space opera and science-fiction spaceship design and battle positioning experience when it comes to design, not some arbitrary stockholm syndrome accusations.
