It's a shame that caldaris coolest ship will be the rookie ship.

Also it's a shame that nobody at ccp knew how the impairor looked before so the artist could just copy the old look and get away with it. :)

CCP, those Ships looks awesome!!! Especially the Gallente one! Now we know where the POD goes and we can actually fell inside a POD and Inside The ship! I think you guys can make an awesome CG of a POD being inserted into the ship that would be Awesome! Put it as a feature in the captains quarter. or just into the intro movie...

And by the way.... How about that Cloak hunter ship?

Please read these!

So, this video does actually confirm that physical launcher modules are being made. =)

You can see "Siege" "Citadel" "Bomb"(blurred) "Assault" "Heavy Assault" and "Heavy" on the wall, two notes in a very early production stage (one probably means "Rocket") are unfortunately unreadable because the camera moves.

Additionally, the bombers are also being redesigned, probably to solve the "battleship-launchers on frigs"-problem, along with Punisher, Rifter, Heron, Atron and Imicus.

On the shader-side, Amarr bc and bs, along with old-Impairor are in an advanced design stage (although the Apoc and Impairor are already on TQ)

And we might get new missile-sounds.

And if I'm correct and the ships on the notes face to the right for shaders and to the left for model redesign, we might see a new drake soon(TM)

Indeed a very interesting devblog.

I think you should make more "how to" videos and somehow intergrate them into eve along with a knowledge base or wiki. There are some out there, but they are not the greatest things to listen and watch.

Atleast the reaper won't look like a pile of scrapmetal anymore, like most of minmatars ships.

Can we get an option to disable the free "gift" hangar clutter we get every time we dock somewhere in a pod or clonejump? I must have trashed a thousand of the things already.

The Velator is worse than the current one. Why does the Ibis geet a complete redesign but the ugliest of the noobships just gets a slightly uglier version of the already existing model? Sad

Nice, really liking the new look for the Ibis. The old one completely turned me off my racial ships and I switched to Amarr (and now it's finally even on both sides!) :P

I was very critical of the new Reaper when I first saw it. The textures improve it but I have a fundamental issue with the disjointed random design, could have been so much better. Even the devblog shows that the love went into the Caldari and Amarr ships.

People seem to be hating the Gallente ship - that one's growing on me.

Maybe we shouldn't get the rookie ship of our character when we dock in a pod - this should be the rookie ship of the station Big smile

Ibis looks awesome, but the symmetry makes it look anything but caldari. remove one of the wings pl0x.

swap you - that Reaper could look great with symmetry (or even asymmetry).

Stop polluting our belowed minmatar ship line with caldari design. The Maelstrom for example is really caldarish, and this new reaper looks like it' is caldari, just it's brown instead of blue... But where is the rust? The duct tape? It seems too polished.

Minmatar ships should be 'ugly', because their ugliness is what make them look more menacing.

Moreover, the velator should be more curvy.

Wow! The new Ibis has electical systems. Might wanna fix that typo. They all look good, although I think the new Ibis looks quite a bit like a Legion with the neut subsystem.

During my last run for CSM5 I argued that CCP needed to fix the rookie ships, this was not a popular position, but as you know, no part of Eve escapes my scrutiny. I'm happy to see this update.

Also the reaper still looks silly when you put lasers on it since they fold back inside the hull.
