"Golem, y u so ugly?"

He was dropped by the raven family on the hard surface of the planet, that's why he have broken wings and flattened "head".

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Meh, at least you didn't get the "new" paladin model. All they did was chop off the fantastic looking sides of the apoc so it's flat and boring, then add some crap onto the bottom, and then carve out some lines on the front. It would have looked better if they "hadn't" redone it.

It's an atrocity to the beauty that is the apocalypse.

No really, why? The Raven (and esspecially the Navy Raven) look amazing, that angled wing design, AMAZING.

Now for the Golem, it uses the same hull as the Raven (in theory) yet its wings are straight and ugly. Isn't the idea of T2 hulls to be the same to the T1 equivalant? (except for the colours?).

For that matter, are there other ships that I never noticed before that look shape-wise differently from their T1 brothers? Was this done to account for the (frankly really "eh") Bastion transformation animation?

Man, the Golem is such a disappointment, visually. A little part of me dies every time I see it.

I made a post about it in the "Features & Ideas Discussion" page. Feel free to bump. It was made a few days ago now.

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

Golem looks great with bastion module running, very Robotech with the opened launchers.

I think it looks great. Reminds me of the Hyperion from Einhänder.

This is the correct response. Can the traitor complaining about the Golem please be banished from the State.

All Caldari ships are built to exacting specifications.

Which is much better than the fripperies of the Gallentean designs with their silly, organic, almost hallucogenic waste of metal. And much improved over the god-bothering designs of the Ammarians who think that scroll work is useful on a starship. I'm surprised they don't paint racing stripes on them to make them go faster.

About the only other vessels that deserve some respect are those of Minmatar design as they at least appreciate the function of their vessels and build something with a purpose.

I take offense to that. The A-10 is a sexy *****.

Dunno what the problem with the golem's looks is, I've always found it rather nice. The one i can't stand is the CNR's new "digital camo" paint scheme.

Quoted for truth.

I really don't get why people keep saying that the A-10 looks ugly.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Because it doesn't use any of the fancy avionics and trademarked materials and processes that the industry stockholders make money on.

No money siphoned off → “ugly.” Blink

I like all of the new marauder models espesh the Golem. I wish the others were designed so radically.

What's wrong with the A-10? Yes it's different but, it still looks good.


It is no where near is bad as the Golem: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Sikorsky_YH-5A_USAF.jpg/800px-Sikorsky_YH-5A_USAF.jpg

While I think the raven hull is a work of art, I support the idea of T2 hulls being slightly different, and by slightly I don't mean megathron - kronos different, but rather Stealth bomber different or like the new Golem.

Actually many T2 ships have an altered hull to their T1 counterpart. Additional engines here (Zealot), different heat sinks there (minnie ships). It's just that the change is much more drastic on the Golem.

It kind of reminds me of a Delorean to be honest. What happens when it gets up to 39.34m/s (88Mph)?


Does it have a flux capacitor?

does a capacitor flux coil will do?
