EVE General Discussion

I agree, artwork is poor but the direction it suggests is great. Current phoon is awful but at least not nearly as bad as the reaper or the shameful talwar.

More quality offerings like the vagabond or vargur please. I only hope I don't find a dev post defending a hopeless design because some poor artist has had to waste weeks giving it great surface detail work.

Actually, if CCP was interested in opinion of the playerbase, they could probably just offer polls to let the players vote/decide on which ship is next for the redesign, instead of hashing them out arbitrarily.

yk

The problem with how they are currently designing the gallente and caldari [redesigns and new ships] is that they are very similar really...Caldari have sharp angles while gallente have soft angles and there are some minor details [like the caldaris blinky lights] but the ruff design philosophy is now the same


I think comparing the Moros to the Phoenix is how caldari vs gallente design should look

Now compare the redesigned Manticore to the redesigned Nemesis.

The vehicles in dust seem to have adopted this aswell, the Caldari vehicles just look like the gallente ones with sharp angles instead of smooth ones, another colour and some very small details.

The caldari ground vehicles look too bulky, they took too much inspiration from current vehicles, current vehicles dont have shields however. Caldari tanks shouldnt look all armoured, they should have large visible shield generators.

But Im straying off topic, this is the EVE forums afterall.

My point is they have changed both the caldari ship design and the gallente shipdesign from their original to new designs that look too much alike, yet they look sleek and beautifull but it does detract from their uniqueness.

I also like how the domi looks, its very gallente, but I always ALWAYS wanted to have a flyable infested domi, it could require having certain drone skills as opposed to factional battleship skills [as one would expect most of the ship to be run by small *tamed* rogue drones as opposed to crew members]

Caldari and gallente designs should have been more similar to start off with according to their early space life and mutual advancement (for awhile at least). Yet one making a space potatos and a few planets away the other making polygonal spasms.... eh

Yes but that would even moreso mean that theyd have similar technology besides hybrids.

It wouldnt be very interesting now would it?

then again, Amarr are now basically gallente with lasers instead of hybrids so I guess my whole point of the races having to be unique is completely moot.

Ahhh, not so much.

Yes, they both armor tank (differently) and the both use drones for a secondary weapons system (in different ways).

Other than that they are about as different in main weapons capabilities, tactics, ship design, and pretty much every other detail as they can get.

yes please ^_^ also this thumbnail is obviusly amarr with all that yellow. im hoping its the long awaited overhaul of that dam ugly crucifier

How about NO!

need more vertical.

Its understandable to have similar looking hulls, however reskins just seem lazy to new players who want to fly cool stuff, not stuff that just works well. Thanks for letting us know people are on top of that.

By similar hulls, I mean the merlin->hookbill. They are structurally similar in a cool way. Tempest -> vargur is a pretty good example too.

It would be nice if navy ships had a bit of variation as well, albeit less than the T2 stuff.

Yeah, ah Drominix, the only ship that can refuse the pilots orders. I'm really looking forward to that. -.-
