Models are nice : ) But DO NOT Change the names .... there is totaly no need for that please stop that fozzie :" |

stop changing names in game, it makes me dizzy and sad (sobing)

They aren't changing the names of the ships...

When they say something like

they are simply telling you what corp/color scheme and hull will be used for the Absolution.

Or a Hurricane Fleet Issue. which is just a camo hurricane, just like what they want the Sleipnir to be.

NO! - as stated before, the Harbinger model is **** and should not be used. And in particular not for the Damnation!

Because some people are ******** (no sorry for flame escalation with this degree of trash talk and likes for this idea). Either new models or forget about this model change right away, Fozzie! CCP has 1 month, you better start concept-arting and drawing good stuff if you want a model change.

Dear Fozzie

i think its just lazy,
Didnt you guys learn nothing?
First Vagabond and its ****** skin
then you remodelled it, so where was the point in giving it other skin in first place?
That what you guys doing is total lazyness, give them new models or leave them,

What does it give to the lore?

NPC corporations seems to hire the junior brand manager ***** from the memes.

New models or gtfo (no offence but i have to say it)

The whole idea is meh at best IMO.


Most of these ship models got faction variant textures, and now you want to recycle the SAME models again by retexturing them again and assigning them as CS. That is hardly adding to variety.

CS already have distinctive textures, and just giving them different models of 2 existing ship variants seems pointless and a change for the sake of change.

i.e. 3 versions of Hurricane. We really need that?

I'd personally rather have things as they are and wait another 1-2 years for completely new models, than have this half-baked compromise solution.

I can´t get behind this at all. These ships reputations and their places in the lore are connected to their current models.

They might not be everyones taste, but that´s just what makes them unique even more so. There are 3 main points why i don´t think this a good idea:

1) Why would you go for even more models of shiptypes that are already omnipresent in the game? Do we really need another Drake or another Hurricane?

2) The models you want to replace at least the Sleipnir and the Nighthawk with are much more streamlined and tailored to "please the eye". They are also much more boring and uncreative. Models with edges are fine, as long as the overall concept is sound.

3) As far as i get this you are planing to rework the t2 models anyway. So why not just wait until you got those new models ready? Why forcefully change models to completely unrelated ships? To establish continuity for people who did not know the old models? And the continuity argument falls pretty flat, considering that A LOT of t2/faction versions use different weapons compared to their t1 counterparts (Hawk, Vengeance, Rapier, Raptor, etc).

The only reason i can think of is that you actually already worked on the new models for the Harbi, the Myrm, the Hurri and the Drake....Wait, didn´t you just revamp the Drake? Might it be that you can use some of the designs done at that point for the upcoming t2 models? Of course i am just speculating here, but if that was the case it would be a pretty cheap reason to break the lore and leave a sour taste with many of your customers.

Please rethink this. I really can´t see how this could be considered "obvious positive". And no, i am not even a fan of how the Ferox/Cyclone/Prophecy looks. But these ships earned their place in Eve history. It´s a shame to see ships many people grew accustomed to and have font memories of, be treated like totally exchangeable stuff. Do proper reworks of the models, even if it takes time.

Nighthawk = Kaalakiota Drake yay!!

Shame I cant really say anything about the 2 turrets, please not on the drake, needs 7 launchers otherwise the aesthetics will be lost

Not too fond of the Eos change, I don't really like the Myrm. But since I like the Harbinger and also the Claymore, Vulture and, most important, the Damnation are not affected, I will get over it. Eventually .
