Maybe navy versions could be slightly different to the normal versions beyond just skins.

-T1 basic model
- Navy different skin and some alterations to match bonuses of ship
-T2 different skin , larger changes to match the manufacturer and bonuses of ships
- pirate versions get much larger changes than both

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Has any consensus been made on this? It sounds like we have a bunch of people saying "fix this and that" (the normal jargon), but no actual decision has been made.

This seems like a good envelope to do something similar to what was done with the 99 reasonable things. Why don't we just get some voting done on this. We can easily make a voting system, and pick 4 ships.

1 Gallente, 1 Caldari, 1 Minmatar, and 1 Amarr ship to be "touched up or redone".

There would be more of a direction and consensus with the community of what really needs to be touched up. The artists would know that the people are looking forward to the redesign.

Yaay!!!!

nope

just release a symmetrical megathron with dronebay of 75m3 and drone bandwidth of 0Mbit i'm sure it'll be a smashing success


It isn't a drone uplink, either. It is an onboard tracking processor for the 7.5% tracking bonus.

Nightmare literally.

The Vargur requires launcher hardpoints, following tempest tradition.

Typhoon.

Really starting to show it's age.

Needs more tube and less cube to it.Twisted Make it the tube of doom!

The jokes would be endless.


Oh and the Ferox maybe? likely to see a lot more of it following the rail changes and it aint pretty.

Yeah space potato ftw.

It may be a bit if a waste of time given how many of them there are in the game but the Revenant looks like a giant poop. I know that has been pointed out a thousand times, but it really is bloody awful.

A lot of the eve ships have ugly character to them, but that one is just right out nasty. And not in a good way. Phoon as noted really needs an update, but the Rev needs a brown paper bag.

We are forgetting that the ships are designed somewhat around their sensor types.

On Minmatar ships, those are not solar panels. Those are the panels used for Ladar.

Caldari ships, if you note that "little wings" use gravimetric sensors. A real gravimetric sensor might even look like that.

Gallente ships use magnetometric sensors. This would entail huge rounded coils.

Finally the Amarr use radar, and that means dishes and horn antennae behind large bulbous radoms (so they can move around inside).



Whoever designed these ships initially can be said to have done their homework.


Still the Imicus and some of those Caldari ships, and even the Celestis - c'mon we can tell that some designers were up against a deadline on those (I hope).

Actually I'd like there to be more models in general rather than just recycling old ones.

Like the scorpion has 3 variations for 3 very different ships (marauder, black ops)

I always felt this was a little lazy on the design part, there's no reasons why black ops ships couldnt have had their own hulls
befitting their cloaky purposes.

give blood raider ships more of a demonic look. Black and Crimson red would be nice.

i looked up the art and it's labelled 'tactical sensors & drone control', dunno if that's computing as well, but we can remove the tracking bonus and drone bandwidth and see how people like their new megathron :D

For me the Imicus wins the ugly war followed by the Moa.

*Snip copy paste from other post*

My T1 Frigate lineup for rework would be: Crucifier, Bantam, Imicus and Burst. Good to hear they 'were' working on the Crucifier, but that was also said about the (Symmetrical) Imicus as well a few years back during a Fanfest as WIP.

Hey CCP, what ever happened to this Imicus: http://i.imgur.com/VlKnO.jpg
Also, you guys were kind of close with the Atron: http://i.imgur.com/jEICv.jpg
But it really just needs to have the longer wing mirrored on the other side, but the cockpit/bridge of the ship can stay on the one side as it is. That or you can have the T1 with the shorter wings and the Interceptor with the longer ones for variations like the stealth bombers.

As for the Asymmetry vs Symmetry ships, I think most ships that are not balanced in general shape need work but can retain certain asymmetric qualities to them. The new Mega model is a good result. For me the core hull shape and size should be relatively the same on both sides so should the engine sizes and placement. Meaning 70% of ships could use a small or large tweak. Also incorporating the drone force field entrances on the Vexor, Myrm and Domi would go a long way to improving that these are indeed mini like carriers.

There are only 2 ships in eve that make me physically cringe with embarrassment whenever I see them...

1. All variants of the Iteron (I cannot STAND the nose on the front of it, the rest of the ship is fine)
2. The Badger (Why a faucet? I see people complaining about faucets on the forums all the time, ergo faucets are BAD!)

I don't mind the other ugly ships. There is no way to please everybody... and hey, there's no denying that the Moa, as ugly as it is, has a lot of character =)

ps: I love the Dominix & I love the Typhoon as they are.

Of the most frequently used ships, there is a need to update the Caldari shuttle and the Hurricane - both are looking tired now.
