I hate to say this, but just because it's a prototype doesn't mean it will ever make it in game. What?

That being said, I really rather prefer this one to the old.

If only the Kestrel hull would receive the same type of facelift. My Caldari SB pilot would be my favorite for quite awhile.

This better be coming to TQ. I like the wing structure as it's similar to the Merlin's. Whether those pods up top are launchers or engines doesn't matter -- they look cool either way. I'm going to stock up on the hulls just in case.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE CCP MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!

Just this one change makes me want to zoom around in fragile little interceptors again. Boy am I glad I have a stockpile of Gistii B-Type 1MN MWDs lying around...

Whats the bummer part for? If you think it looks good then aren't you happy to find out it was in fact a CCP model and not player made? ;)

What is that in the front? A cockpit? Looks like a Fighter or Bomber. For a Frigate its way too small.

maybe they're currently working on a complete caldari makeover for groundworks of some sort of missile-turret-hardpoints?

The Condor model already has a cockpit, as do most Caldari frigates. About half the frigates in the game have cockpit canopies.

Alright, I rendered the two side by side in various positions to give people a better idea of the size comparison.

Really nice.

I like the current Condor, the asymmetry gives it a kind of charm but this new model is definitely a worthy successor.

I do agree the current hull has something going for it.

Would love to see them incorporate a mixture of that with the new in terms of the asymmetry.

Also keep in mind that the "cockpit" area actually is probably more accurately described as the "command deck" area, and could easily be a few stories tall (covering perhaps multiple floors).

We are just preconditioned to expect something like that to be a cover over a single pilot (or two) like it is in fighters.

Haven't realty compared but, it's also possible that Caldari frigates (as with every other class of Caldari ship) are much smaller than the ships of the same size classification of the other races.

Considering frigates are a bit smaller than a Boeing 747 and take one to several people to pilot, I think the cockpit would be something like this or this.

It's how I think of the other frigates too, Atron, Incursus, Tristan, Merlin, Rifter, Probe and the original Condor etc. They all have cockpit like areas that seem out of scale unless you think of them as being able to seat 2 people plus.
