The T1 ships' tan-brown isn't quite the right color IMHO.

It's too "clean" of a brown. I think you could have something a little "grungier".

Everything else looks really sexy. The Core Complexion ships are ultra black, I'm deciding if I like it... but makes a solid first impression. :)



Thanks for listening.

I have a feeling they're still wip, they seem to lack something... a shader maybe.

I'm liking what I'm seeing though already.

I agree. At least the tweaks to the ship designs are credible and the general 'feel' is great.

There are some models in there that need a lot of work, or replacement - rupture/scythe/bellicose for example. Something along the lines of what the raven had would be good. Recognisable but cooler

exactly. Or maybe a rust texture that grows over time based on how old the ship is.

I'm actually a little disappointed in the core complexion ships. To me, losing their color has made them kind of boring, and the DEEP black makes it hard to see some of the details in the ship hulls.

I suppose it is more accurate to pre-Trinity colors, but I kind of liked the way they are on TQ now more

Interesting.

Overall I like the changes. A LOT of the ships are less of a mess to look at now. Before they were ghastly and overbearing to the eyes. Now, they still look like cheap hunks of rust, but it doesn't hurt to look at them. You can see where the lines stop/start on the ship (a huge issue with some of the T2 hulls before).

The one thing I dislike is how many of the new T2 ships are black/Blue. I preferred those colors on the Khanid boats exclusively. This just seems like a half assed attempt to find a new color scheme.

I'm not a fan of the new firetail skin.

wtf is this snow camo?

Also none of the other angel ships have been v3'd.

i love how the newer ships are more shiny than the old models. its awesome and i'm very happy the art team invested the time.

i'm not really a fan of the t2 camo paintjobs, but they're well executed. i'd prefer some defiant high contrast war paint, tbh. (on a related note, maybe increase the visibility of the minmatar emblem on the t1 hulls a little?)

the new slasher hull is just awesome. it looks like it can collect biomass automatically.

rupture. incredible detail. bolted-on shiny metal plates. whoever did this, you are awesome!

the cheetah hull is very well done as well, but with the paintjob and this type of sail, it looks very caldari.
also, the probe/cheetah does not have the signature headlights (as in: two above each other).

the lights on the huginn are the only part of the hull that has been scaled to the new size, so they're free floating in front of the ship now. might want to fit that rest of the scale changes look good, the stabber is finally bigger than the thrasher.

i can't tell from the top of my head if the small guns have been reduced in size or the frigates have been scaled up? at least the mining lasers arent bigger than the hardpoints on the burst now ;) the downside of this change is that the frigates dont look as MOAR GUNZZZ now, especially on the rifter the prominent guns looked very menacing. its still a beast, tho. (also, i just love the red detail on the front of the wolfs rocket-pod/engine parts)

the only ship that doesnt quite look the part is the scythe. i like the design, and a lot of detail has been poured into the texture, but i cant help it... the surface still looks a bit too sleek for "the oldest minmatar ship still in use". the other ships lines are broken by differently colored/structured textures while the textures on the upper hull of the scythe reinforce the lines of the model.
