Stop the 'modernization' of Minmatar hulls!

Current minnie hulls aren't the problem, textures are.

Rifter - looking awesome, sharp textures.

Vagabond - just fire whoever designed these silly 'urban camo' textures for minnie ships, they look dreadful and have absolutely no place in space. Same goes for sleipnir. I just cringe whenever I see either ship. Continues with Navy Stabber/phoon etc... just disgusting.

Tempest - hull is OK, textures are bat **** horrible. Needs a rework to be as crisp as the current rifter. Right now it looks like some 9 year old had his first day with paint.

Hurricane - again, fire the person who coined up the idea to make the cane textures look like diarrhea. Just horrible, even the textures are low quality, it almost looks like the ship surface is blurred.

Hound - fire whoever designed/textured it, has no future in visual art.

If you need help grasping how minnie ships should look like, take a good long hard look at the current Naglfar or Hel - that's the texture you want to have on most minnie ships.

This is not even touching Caldari ships, with abominations such as harpy or vulture (that look like someone spray painted golden 'bling' on half the ship). You guys SERIOUSLY need a new visual lead, or the one(s) in charge need to get their act together.

And please, for the love of god, whoever designed the concept art for the new Amarr destroyer, fire him. That turd looks like an elongated purifier, which says something to me about a serious lack of imagination as an artist.

Seriously, if it's this hard (and slow), to rework the ships visually, I can find random people in the internet, in a month, who will do a better job in only a fraction of the time.

Simply because Minmatar hulls are intended to be a bit more rugged doesn't imply that they should be made from 3 polygons.

I for one would like to see updates to a broad range of ships in this game to bring their model complexity up to 2012.

They should keep the old models and let people buy and make the new and the old.

that would make for too many models. Ugh
