Makes me wonder how they will look fitted with the fixed siege launchers and the bomb. Siege launcher points seem semi obvious. Bomb launcher hardpoint not so much from these images. IIRC there were more perspectives on the nemesis in the keynote unveiling.

The Purifier concept art seems to show the bomb and launchers already, if you look here, you'll see the bomb hanging from the bottom...

Purifier? More like Pur-eh-sigh-er.. or something. That Nemesis tho, good god damn. Makes me glad I trained GFV for some unknown reason all those years ago.

I just realized that the nemesis model looks like a tristan, just super beefed up with some gnarly ass wings on the sides.

i wasn't too keen on the look of the new Nemesis, i thought it looked a little "too much". I love to hull design for the Tristan and I'd be much happier if they keeps the basic design and just mad it look a little more dangerous.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

I do love these new models, especially with how the new bomb launcher will look

Oh wow that Nemi looks ultra badass <33

...like a Gallente ship should Cool

But does that mean that my dream is coming true - T2 ships get their own hulls :o

edit: damn it even has some hints of the Tristan hull, bloody awesome work, that design is stunning

This is actually a real good idea! Every time a ship is changed or gets a major update, only use the new model for new builds.

That would have people go "ooh look that guy has the new model already", later on "look at this guy in his beater", and much later "yo man, vintage ship there dude" :)

Would love to see old scorps and such fly around now and then, like older cars. It'd add to the 'living universe' feeling.

OT: love the new bombers!

Fun fact the Nemisis got more than one potentially new model. The first was shown in the art panel (the above linked one) the other i think was shown in the CCP Presents presentation. Think they had a couple of versions of the Purifier too.... can't remember though.

Yet in this case, the old models will still exist as the t1 frigs. Now it wouldn't be such a bad idea for completely abandoned models such as the scorpion.
You could have, say, new super rare scan sites like scrap yards that have a dismantled "old" version you can salvage for a repairable hull. And then you can truck it back to station and rebuild it like a old car. Like a storyline bpc Its stats are subpar compared to its current new game version. And you have the option to completely modernize the old hull to the new model version with the appropriate materials.
They would of course be found in the appropriate locations, frigs in highsec trash yards, cruisers like old mauler in low, and scorpions in nul. It could become a lucrative business selling rare old hulls.
It would be less like "im a badass with a vintage ship" as it would be "I cant believe I killed you in this vintage ship lulz!"
And you are not feeding the universe free ships since you just get a very heavy bpc for a single run crap ship you can upgrade. And the old ships are a new ID, so the majority of people aren't stuck with the old model after upgrade as I'm sure most would rather have the new assets than the old hull, and making old hulls even rarer.
It lets eve keep some of its history in the space lanes and not hidden in some hanger forever.

Are the new bombers coming out in April or May?

I need to plan ahead, because when they come out, I am getting in that MANTICORE and never leaving it!

New Hound is starting to grow on me, but I'm not seeing any serious change to the Purifier.

Nemesis is just plain wild (in a good way). Should be interesting to see the final model.

Nemesis looks interesting. However, the wings should be a bit more curvy and bulbous to fit in with the Gallente aesthetic. Flat wings look a bit too Caldari.

Hound looks Minmatar. Scaffolding and fins is pretty in line with the other Minmatar ships.

Manticore is 10/10. Excellent. One look at it, it is Caldari. Hi-tech.

Purifier seems a bit out of place with other Amarr ships for one reason. Too much exposed black area.
Virtually all the Amarr ships have most of the surface area covered by golden armor.
Sure some areas uncovered by armor is fine, but the design looks like the majority is not covered.
That kind of makes it stick out of the Amarr line as if it is naked and unfinished.
One look at any Amarr ship will usually give the feeling that "this ship is a hardshelled badass that can take a hit or two".
The Purifier lacks this feeling.

My 2 ISK anyway.

New Nemesis is great, but I do have one minor gripe: the piddling little engine nozzles. Make 'em a bit beefier, please, CCP.

I get the impression that they are bigger than the old ships. Possible because CCP needs to fit 3 x battleshipsized Siege launchers on them. Will stealth bombers be a class of its own, not based on a T1 hull?

It's not their size that counts it's how it uses them .... ShockedTwisted
