Thanks for changing the Caldari Destroyer+Carrier models. You did it a while back recently. They look so good now! The shapes are so nice.

It would be nice to update, some of the other factions' ship models as well. Especially Galante(ugliest ships I ever seen in a game), Amarr and Minmatar.

Just a suggestion and that is to make some Ships, or even structures, "Symmetrical" and some "Asymmetrical", for those people who like either. You currently do that I noticed, just keep doing it, for variety. i.e. the shape of the ships themselves, booster/engine placement and like.

Not to be mean...To be honest though, I think this game has the most ugliest ships in any space game I ever played. Most of the ships are hard to look at, they are so UGLY. I pay Caldari because it had most of the ships that I liked look wise, also their attributes, faction/race attributes, are fairly okay. I played other space games, Homeworld, Nexus The Jupiter incident etc. in the past, and they have nicer designs as a whole.

Ore ships are nice and symmetrical looking, in your game. The orca looks good. Rorqual also is nice.
The leviathan(Titan) has some weird tail that makes it look ugly on the caldari side. Mao too has like two heads(front parts). If you chopped off the most frontal part it would look nicer, but that is my opinion. :P

I guess it would be even nicer if a person could mix and match parts of ship designs,back+middle+front, that were made for each class of ship/structure, to make it more personalized. But that would take lots of programming, and too much resources otherwise, computational/lots of stress on your servers. Perhaps when technology gets more advance in the future we can have more possibilities!

If you haven't been paying attention CCP have been going through and updating the various ship models for a while now. They showed off several more at Fanfest this year.

The Moa/Eagle hulls already got reworked, that's the new hull they have now.

You're not going to like every hull, everyone has different aesthetic preferences. I'd suggest getting used to that.

You don't need to say "to the developers". That's literally the point of this section of the forums.

"TO THE DEVELOPERS:"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I might add...

You could charge 3 plexes or so, to the following players. Also, charge 1 plex per month to maintain the ship(s)/structure(s) in the game.

In the future, depending on technology, maybe the game can allow people to make their own ship/structure model, and send it in to the company to skin,put weapon placement, add engine booster flames, even engine booster flame colour, etc. for the player to put in the game.

-The" Ship/Structure" files will be downloaded to each player of Eve Online, so they have it on their computer to render when thy come upon a player designed structure and/or when player flying a player designed ship!

- You, your company, could provide a game modeler for the players to design a ship shape to send in

Let me translate that "To the developer":

" I am a special snowflake who has the right to not have their ideas criticized by other players, no matter how stupid they are and only devs are supposed to answer them. After seriously considering of adding to the game of course."

Wormholer for life.

Taking the idea a bit farther with my last post " 2017.04.27 15:07 " above..

The player who designed the ship/structure gets an "Original Blueprint" of it in the game, so he or she can make copies and sell it to other people to construct the ship/structure(i.e. Citadel model). Also, build for themselves as many as they want,( since they have the original blueprint), and sell it to other players!

-Furthermore, before all that happens, the player when sending in the model has to tell you developers what Faction+Ship Class+Type otherwise the model is for. i.e. Caldari+Battleship Class+Raven. Note: It can also be for a Non Empire/faction battle like "Nestor" if indicated. So the model will get that ship's/structure's(citadel) attributes!


-Perhaps also make a window for people to browse Player designed ships/structures, similar to contracts, so they can choose what design they like and contact the owner to purchase one or buy a blueprint copy to make it themselves.


Note: The original player design ship/structure blueprints will disappear, if the 1 plex per month is not paid for it to be maintained in the game!

I kind of like that he does that. This way I can look at his posts when I feel like trolling and ignore them the rest of the time.

By the way, Fifty Three, thanks for the bounty :) This is however a market alt, so I really doubt it will ever get collected lol.

Agreed. I like that one of the worst posters on F&I marks his posts so obviously. Let's me know which ones to check when I want a good laugh

53,

See my reply above. You might as well say "To EVE Online Players" when you start a post. This part of the forums is for players to give ideas. Your redundant wording is redundant.

Damnit, why can't I get a bounty? Now I don't feel special. This is my main, and I fly very juicy ships he could kill.
