No I'm not...

Where are the wingy bits?

And when can I expect my new ship model? The Navy 'thron went from its gorgeous glossy black chrome to silly space camo because the Navy ship model had the camo scheme so I assume I can expect my ship model to be updated to match the new megathron hull...

(I'm not entirely enamoured with this new Mega, the front end looks too heavy now I think, and there's such an expanse of belly there...)


Wingy bit ah bro that minmatar ship not the the mega.

you cant really tell from the pics i guess but there a navy one there its a green color but not camo not sure if its done yet as in the paint job is done.

There are two wingy bits at the rear of the current Mega, although that's not perhaps the correct technical term for them Blink

Nevertheless they do a lot for the visual balance of the ship.

Given the separation that this new model introduces between the ship models and the in-game assets however I begin to hope that the new Navy 'thron will go back to its glossy black chrome with blue lights, though I suspect that that is ultimately a forlorn hope.

Mega hull actually looks pretty good from most views there, though the exaggerated sweep on the front is a bit startling in one of them. New Stabber and Tempest Hulls make me glad I'm training Minmatar again. Smile

Am I the only one that thinks the new Mega is terrabad? The old model was super sexy, one ship you did not have to molest.

The new one is bland as hell... flat, dull, and boring. The old model had much nicer contrast and curves to the overall silhouette.

Very much liking the Megathron hull as well as the tempest and variants. Haven't seen any structural differences between the Kronos/Mega but if they are there they aren't near as notable as the Vargur/Tempest alterations. Also I must ask, Navythron paint job, is this the final version on duality?

Vagabond actually looks unfinished whereas the Navythron looks pretty much done. Reason I ask is that it's a distinct yet non-cammo paint job, which it doesn't necessarily make sense to create just to replace with cammo.

Speaking of paint jobs I'd also ask if the Vindicator is final as it has become a lot lighter and lost the black streakish paint currently on TQ.

Same point as before, comparing a ship which clearly hasn't been finished (Vaga) with 2 that look ready to go (N-mega/Vindi).

Have been onto duality to look at the new mega models etc.

The vargur looks great, the mega model is ok but the paint scheme for them is utter crap. The vindicater looks sooo bland and boring it's just a shiney silver colour the only one that looks half decent is the kronos which has a little colour at the front, also the federate issue has the front lights no where near where there suposed to be.

You really need to add some more colour to them befor they are released.

The new Vargur looks like it's rocking a mohawk.
