The wingy bits at the end of the twin hull are asymmetrical.

This actually breaks the tradition of not only Caldari but symmetrical Battlecruiser hulls in general.

the amarr BC is the one entry i absolutely love. the caldari BC is meh so far. but to get to the important part...

DID YOU SEE THAT INCURSUS?!

it sucks that we probably have to wait another 6 months before V3 is fully implemented. i was hoping to see new skins this winter.

The back end is alright, but that... neck bulge and the beak thing ruin it for me. If it was just a little more streamlined and a little curvier... Sad

For the same reason the Tornado also has Battleship written on it's DA concept art.

The Designer wanted it to be one.

We don't like surprises. Surprises coming from CCP are almost always bad.

You mean that comet? That for some reason seems to be high on the V3 list, even though it's possibly the single least popular faction frig? Wouldn't it make sense to start with the stations that EVERYONE SEES, then move on to the ships?

Not that the Naga is looking bad or anything but I was hoping for a bit more asymmetrical hull. I like the different approach that so many other caldari ships offer to the usual left=right. And no, the usual "bridge goes to this side" does not count.

This post was rated "C" for capsuleer.

They look decent but nothing really special. They fit the EVE style well enough, I guess.

Of all the 4 new BC hulls I think I like the Gallente Talos the most.
And no, not because I'm Gallente! It just looks most like a predator.

You mean more Moa, Blackbird and Raven style lopsided random asymmetry-only-for-asymmetry-sake offenses to the eyes and basic rules of industrial design?

No thanks. Ships that look like the broken remains of a washing machine are not superior to ships that look like ships. EVE doesn’t need to be grotesquely asymmetrical to be different. Aesthetics count, and the majority of humanity have been shown to prefer symmetry or at most subtle asymmetry a la the new Caldari hull.

The Caldari one looks like a Badger, I don't like it :(

But the other three look neat.

AWW C'mon Alara you are Vet enough to know there was a BC asymmetrical since ever, and that CCP remodeled symmetricaly after the trinity engine without no one noticing?

Or i am the only one to remember such odd things?

ah, shot was so blurry it didn't even register. Yeah, it kind of a bummer they have to make 12 or so different skins of each model before they can be released. Incursus hull variants are my 2nd favorite to fly in the game. I like the look of it, but I still have the nagging feeling that there are better things the art department could be doing... like wasn't the art department blamed recently as the reason we can't have modular POSes?

What I could see of it looked pretty damn shexy, but I can't really make out any detail.

The Comet was also gorgeous. Though it's hardly ugly as it is now Blink

Couldn't agree more, +1

Asymmetry for the sake of "oh look at us, we're so different because our ships are not symmetrical, we're so 1337 cool" is a bit outdated by now. Yes we know, it was very fashionable in .. the 1980s?
If CCP had designed asymmetrical ships for one faction (and they would actually look nice) it would have been a very nice special and distinguishing feature - but all ships from all factions (and most being pretty ugly on top of that) gets old pretty quickly.
