Sounds interesting. I might have to stock up some LP for when they are released. Just not sure If I'll sell them or keep them to fly lol.

hmmmm i like the ship over all and respect the skills of the designers but i would have put the warp ring on the back of the ship.

But i am looking forward to getting one for an alt.

Nice idea. But its never gonna get used in WHs unless it offers some sort of utility.

Oh well- They never saw mine, but at least people liked it- RIP Deathwedge o7

Your design - its a nice effort but does not really stink after terran Tec enough.

Fozzies boat looks awesome...picture it next to one of the Space-Odyssey monoliths- like it but probably cant afford it without plexing it.( CCP... see what're I did there)

Any stats for this ship yet? I really hope they release some silly OP stats for it , I really enjoy those threads on F&I !
Is there a reason it looks like the frame for the Christ Redeemer statue ?

Looks ok but i was expecting something different, more awesome and more bulky.

One thing i like is that this ship have more realistic look. And It looks a little like some space station ;)

Will the front section spin? It is suspiciously round for the usually angular-shaped SoE ships.

Frankly, I don't like this white ships thing...

Just look, white Nestor:

Uh, oh, the space blender attacks!

vs. black Nestor:

Oh noes, here it comes! We are doomed!

There is nothing wrong with designing a starship on a home appliance, as long as it doesn't looks like a home appliance...

SoE carrier concept?

if as it seems the ring is at the back i really really do not like the two front wings, theyre way too long. I would say cut them back to about a third the current height or get rid of them.

having said that though if its the other way around its actually ok and would be even better if they spin. Cool

In my opinion, the ring would look better if it is either at the middle or at the back.

As it currently looks, as pointer earlier it looks just like a hand blender..

Don't think our input matters much though. too bad I don't think CCP will change anything at all on its design at this stage, until 'ship redesign' later in the future.

so will this thing be capable to use covert jump portal generators?

Why would someone bring an overpriced drone boat into wormhole space to be used with no distinctive advantage over the other overpriced drone boat "Rattlesnake" especially without the ability to utilize the covert ops cloak?

I'll admit, I don't see this as being useful at all unless there's some sort of serious advantage to it other than it's low mass. Sleepers are hell on drones, and no covert... unless this thing is able to put up stargates or something I don't see it as viable.

Wormhole residents are going to **** on a faction battleship before it can warp to any sigs from jumping in.

I might guess that the forward cylinder, on which the ring is anchored, is spinning? Awesome design; however, it looks somewhat fragile compared to other bs'es.

In the beginning, there was pain and despair. And death. Immense tragedies and terrible catastrophies.

I agree with the fragile-looking observation.. it looks very unimposing compared to previous designs by Asgeir Jon Asgeirsson.

But I have to say I'm warming up to it- imagining it in space makes it honestly look pretty cool. The only thing I'm worried about is that it's going to be going into wormholes.

Unless it has a special attribute that keeps sleepers from targeting its drones or something, it'll be hard to use it against them.

But I am starting to like its design more and more- and I'll be getting one as soon as it comes to the LP store, so...Big smile
