you do know, that the vargur has rounded sails because of their tribe, all of the ships from that tribe have rounded sails


No comment on the OP at all? :(



Comeon Kat, You know how secrete CCP is on this stuff. Sad


But here is another +1 for the idea.


Well, they kind of have to. If they accidently promise to much and it gets delayed, then there will be nothing that will protect them from the storm of angry players.

The reason for stealth bombers getting their own special hulls was that their role made them so removed from their base hulls it didn't make sense for them to be mere reskins. Not all T2 ships are quite that radically different to justify that.

With that in mind, I'd say the heavy dictors deserve a pass at totally custom hulls. The Phobos has a token attempt at a special hull modification, but that's about it. Light dictors are far more justified as a reskin (after all, they launch bubble probes, not generate one).

Logistics would probably be my next port of call, although with the T1 cruiser changes, I might suggest tweaking both hulls in unison to be a bit more logi-like.

The only other T2 that really needs some love are command ships. They need to be more command-y. Mauraders, HACS, AFs, EAWR frigs, Interceptors, they're all fine as they are.


thats not why. they redid them because missile turrets were introduced and a battleship sized launcher looked funny on a frigate

Still her point is valid, and I strongly agree that heavy dictors could deserve some kind of unique 3D model showing their warp disruption generator, like the phobos.

Because admit it, it's cool !

Indeed, the models for battleship sized weapons don't fit on frigates, so they had to make new frigates that can actually fit the equipment in question on the model.

If that's the rationale behind the decision, then please don't tell me that Lai Dai designed the Moa....

The rounded sails look great. Keep up the good work.
