The youtube vid you are watching is not the final art assets. You guys will have a play with them very soon. I love my nemesis, and when you drop a bomb, your face will melt. Mine did.

The new hound has too many rounded corners. Minmatar shouldn't be iSpaceships. Hard edges everywhere, pointy sharp fins, etc

From the rookie ship to the hound. rounded comers is the new art direction. It's not going to go away.
However, This may just be more noticeable on smaller scale ships and BC and above may still seem jagged. Yet they are now hammering their edges to keep from getting tetanus.

it's not really "new" all of the newer minmatar ships have been that way since tier 3 battleships.

on one hand I like how they picked on art style and stuck with it, on the other hand I hope they stick with the idea that the older the ship the less advanced it looks. I also hope for some duct tape shaders :P

The issue is hard edge just don't look good in game. they don't AA well, and they look like a 3d model. IT's oddly, really hard to pull off a hard edge. trust me I'm a doctor!

This is indeed good news. The Hound needs to retain its dorsal fin at the very least. And that fin should stay shark shaped even if oriented differently P

And I hope you love your Nemesis because it got better agility. No reason to have "racial" tanking based variations on that stat for these ships. Their role is no tank. Buff the Nemesis and Purifier agility.

Really? I am just picturing them on the side edge of the Ravens deformed wings. The Raven isn't THAT much bigger than those frigs is it?


yes, yes it is.

really, it's not that hard, just look at the ships with the ingame model viewer, it gives you the length of the ship. While it doesn't give you all 3 dimensions, it's enough to be a decent reference.

the long axis on the raven is 806 meters, frigs are around the high 50s, you tell me how much bigger a raven is compared to a frigate Roll

Oh, I like that.

Reminds me of this fella that tried to use bots to ship Torps through our space automatically to his bot ratters. Of course we kept interdicting them and eventually he used a translation program to try and complain to us about it.

Apparently this translation program referred to Torpedos' as "Thunderfish"... so there was a tremendous amount of yelling in local going on about "Thunderfish! Thunderfish!".

Obviously all of my Purifiers will now be named "Thunderfish". Smile

Edit:

Now that I think about it, the obvious names for the others will be:

Obvious is obvious... Manticore = Thunderbird

If they don't improve the stats... Nemesis = Thunderwear

In typical simple and literal Matari fashion... Hound = Boomstick
