If only the Raptor or Crow were somewhat useful in comparison to their counterparts... Are they getting buffs at least?

Even a 4th launcher slot like my crusader has 4 turrets .. or a little extra PG/CPU?

It looks like the most recent test build has an updated version of the old Crow model... does that mean the prototype model won't make it into the upcoming expansion?

No one stated that it will make it in this expansion or it will make it anywhere at all P
I dont think that we will see this model in current form because this model is controversial - too many people hate it or like it.
But yes right now anyone equipped with TriExporter can view this model in current SISI client (build 316767).

I heard "Probably not this patch" from a little birdie on sisi. I won't name names, because that would be impolite.

If any Caldari ship gets a new model I hope it is the Blackbird (the new model is worse than the old one), Osprey, or Moa. The Caracal is one of the few original Caldari models that still looks perfectly fine to me.

That said I would love for this to be the new Condor model.

Chances are they are going to decide if they are going to give us missiel turrets or not.

If they do decide yes that crow model is scrap.

See, people like you who just make stuff up, amaze me.

1) They're not 'deciding', they're working out the animations and physics for all the different points that would have to spawn missiles (because each missile is actually tracked by the server)

2) Why would that have any outcome on that crow model?


3) Do you drink bleach before you post?

I mean literally everything in your post is just made up rubbish.

I like it although I'm kind of fond of the broken Klingon bird-of-prey look my crow currently has

I'm just saying if they are going to add missile turret models then why redo a ship with the missile pods installed?

Unless the texturing is off and those arent box launchers and are cooling intakes instead.


what exactly would it intake in space?

Why you no care?

Oh, it's no fake, it's already been admitted as real (though it was originally, and mistakenly, declared fake -- having said that, some people missed the offical 'retraction' though, and still claim it as fake.)

Every new build they put up on Sisi, I look to see if they fly past on the loading screen, but nothing so far... I think it's a fantastic improvement - especially the cockpit design... :)

Any new info on this model at all, some CCP responce would be great.

I think it looks 1000% better than the original model. There is room for improvement but I sincerely hope this or something similar makes it into the game this development cycle.

I'd love to see this in game, if only to use as a cheap runabout.

It's interesting to see the different comments, where some people are decrying the model for not being asymmetrical. I much prefer the more symmetrical hull forms, the Scorpion redesign was good, the new Raven less so as it didn't go far enough in evening out the model. To each his own.

This is brilliant model, I really hope it makes it to the game. Symmetry, exhausts and new cabin design are just great.

Destroying one more perfectly asymetrical ship... where will this madness end?
Wasn't Caldari suposed to be the most asymetrical race? Gallente is beating us
by one model as it is and you want to take away our lovely crow? Treachery!


On a more serius note i actually like the condors model, yes it needs a renewal but
doing it symetrical isn't the right path. So if you would take that new symetrical thing
and modify it slightly into asymetrical perfection i'd be more than pleased.

just my two cents.

It.looks.brilliant. This new cabin, exhausts and overall symmetry would make it one of the best-looking frigates.

Someone on reddit is claiming to have found another remake of a eve ship for the winter expansion. The said poster will not verify how they got this image, but I thought it was worth sharing. It certainly looks legit, but would love some more proof...

Enjoy.
