Aeon please.

It looks like they built half of it, and forgot the rest. Such a shame as the archon is HAWT.

All of the Caldari cruisers could use remodeling especially the Moa hull, it is literally too ugly to fly. Probably a large reason the Eagle doesn't get used. No one takes it seriously.

I like the new Caldari remodels a lot so I'm sure you can fix it!

I liked the old Reaper better.
Not that I spend much time flying one.
OK actually I do.

The Caldari and Amarr ships are fine. Actually they are quite good looking.

The absolutely ugliest ship in the game must be the Celestis (and Arazu by extension). It looks like a dead carp with a knife in its back. For the sake of all that is holy please do something about that.

PLEASE CCP, USE THAT SKIN, I WOULD GIVE YOU REAL MONEY FOR IT!


same, i remember seeing the eidolon years ago, and thinking, DAMN, i have to get that ship, even if it's useless
(it was stupidly overpowered iirc, something like 8/8/8 slots 8/8 launchers/turrets 1500 cpu 20.000 powergrid)

same with the opux, i know the stats on the opux are nonsence, i would be using it if i could
but at the moment it's so rare that if i could get my hands on one, it would just get suicide ganked by someone looking for a bragworty kill mail

most shamefull of all, you cant even look those ships up ingame, you have to hunt down old screenshots, and those two are about the most beautiful ships ccp ever made

edit: also i used to love looking up jove space and watching the models of the jove space stations, they were epic
now also unfindable ingame, replaced by placeholder stations, mostly gallente i think

The Moa and every ship that has its hull, the thing is hideous.

Leave the Absolution alone, its a nice fat bird, love it the way it is, harbi hull is terrible.

Raven could use a facelift as well.

And then the Blackbird.

Oh and also... could we, like, you know... get rid of space camo already while we're at it?!?

My navy issue ships, sleipnir and vagabond would like that very very much.

Dominix:

I think a remodel of the Dominix to incorporate some of the elements of the Algos might be really interesting. How that would end up looking, I have no idea, but I think the Algos looks more like a drone boat than any other Gallente drone boat, and I'd love to see its style incorporated more.

Hyperion:
A remodel of the Hyperion is also necessary if only to account for its reduction in available turrets. 8 hard points on the front and back used to work, graphically, when you had 8 blasters in there, but with only six the ship looks extremely awkward. The locations of the hardpoints need to change, and the ship needs to be remodeled to account for that. Also, since it now has a large drone bay, that should be graphically represented. Perhaps that engine ring could also house a drone bay of some sort?

Tristan:
I love the Tristan, but its model doesn't really suit its new role as a drone boat. Where are those drones coming from? Are they detaching straight off the boat somewhere?

Overall, I'd just love to see the effects of the latest rebalance and tieracide represented graphically. Smooth out the newly created incongruences and experiment with incorporating some of the new elements introduced with the popular destroyers.

Edit: Myrmidon also suffers from the change in the number of turrets it can have. I'd like to see that fixed too.

And I'd like to mirror what a number of other people have said: The Imicus / Helios is really really ugly. Please do something to it.

Thanks for reading! Smile

Scythe, and in particular the Fleet Issue. First of all, the model as a whole seems old and outdated. Also, for the SFI's role as an attack ship the model doesn't seem menacing enough, in fact in it's current state it seems extremely fragile. The Scythe needs to get the Stabber treatment, i.e. bulk up and get a more aggressive, streamlined design. Different sails design could distinguish the attack cruiser from the logistics version, with sails leaning backwards close to the hull for the attack version to signify high speeds.

The Armageddon and Maelstrom could benefit from the addition of a little more details, just like the Apocalypse.

I'd like to see the Kestrel given a new model so that it actually looks like a kestrel. Same with the Hawk, Condor, Osprey, etc. Big Birds Online would be incredibly awesome and I would fly nothing else.

CCP Sreegs is my favorite developer.

So much this.

Seconded.

Also the Dominix: reminds me of a pear or potato, which isn't cool at all.

Why does the thrusters keep firing when you're not accelerating in space?

actually, one point on the dominix model

it looks horrible because it was supposed to be in multiple COLORS, and none of them was gray/green
when i do a quick google image search and find the old copper/black dominix, i think THAT still looks cool

it's like the model T ford, there's a reason you cant easily find one in gray/dark green.
same with jeans, some things look good in green, but these things,
and the dominix, NOT one of the things that look good in GREEN

I'd have to say anything Caldari, except the Caracal, Drake, Ferox, Rokh and the Scorpion. Those are cool looking, but the Moa, Osprey, Blackbird, etc. not so much. Also, the Domi, Hyperion, Exequror, Celestis, Imicus. As far as Minmatar goes just the flying trash can and the ruppy. The rest are ok or good. Personally I think the Stabber after it's makeover is one of the best looking ships in the game. Now if they could do what they did to that on the ships listed by us here, they would all look cool.

Ships aren't necessarily symmetrical in real life. Just look at any aircraft carrier - the command tower will be off the one side of the flight deck, and the deck itself is usually an asymmetric shape.

Not everybody is so OCD as to find even the slightest hint of asymmetry annoying - I personally like them.


Asymmetry is stupid in space. A certain degree of it can be compensated for, but in most cases it's better to run with a symmetrical design from the start.

Even the ISS' structure is symmetrical in relation to its boost axis, to give a real life example.

Symmetry is BORING, PERIOD.

Instead of wasting time remodelling ships, yes it s COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME COS YOU'LL NEVER PLEASE EVERYONE,
WORK ON COOL FEATURES LIKE BEING ABLE TO FLY TO THE SURFACE OF PLANETS or something NEW!

Last few expansions were good, game is running pretty smoothly now, most ppl are happy with fixes, tweaks, NOW FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Even if you remodell EVERY SHIP, in 2 months people will be bored with them and be posting on forums about Ship Remodelling.


NEW features pls!!AttentionAttention

Aeon, Prophecy and Imicus - leave the Moa alone. And give Khanid ships their black and blue back.

Yes let's make it asymmetric and vaguely reminiscent of a train wreck.
