This is aweseome feedback, there is obviously a very strong interest in ship models. Someone asked what kind of sizes and prices we are looking at, and the answer is that we are looking at different parts of the spectrum. We want to provide something affordable, which still stands up to quality. And then we also want to do something for those that really want a massive, huge pimped out ship with no holds barred. When looking at the market and other major sci-fi properties that have done ship models, we can see that these ubermodels are actually quite popular and can really tie a room together.


So this would work perfectly if you you do frigs to Battleships to scale. The previously released BS models were of about the perfect scale and price point for the quality since I think the $100 to $300 range is about what I have paid for most of my fixed posed models from companies like Kotobukiya, DC, and Dark Horse. This would make the cruiser class about palm sized and destroyers about the size of a tabletop gaming miniature.

Crow, about A4 sized
+ Many others: Plastic model kits or bust.

Because we'd all like different stuff from different factions in different variations sporting different weapons in different sizes.
I'd like it if it were real affordable, the BS models looked nice from what I could see on the store but they were way too expensive to buy sight-unseen. I can control the quality on a kit, I can control the paint scheme (navy issue, etc), I can customize it with my corp/faction/etc logo, I can weather it, I can keep it super clean, I can add battle scars, I can clean up any manufacturing defects, add any lighting I want, make dioramas, Build any T3 variation I want, etc.... Maybe a set of separate kits for different weapons? Moreover it's cheaper to make, cheaper to buy, cheaper to ship 1/2 way across the world, Everyone gets exactly what they want, plus non-eve players will probably like the look of it and purchase them too.

Pretty please with cherries on top: plastic model kits.

Raven Navy Issue, Sleipnir(Cyclone model not hurricane), Thanatos, Wolf

I would like it prebuilt with lights, but I would love assembling one as well.

Enyo

Or any Incursus hull. Already assembled/painted and can fit in the palm of your hand, something that sits on a desk, maybe on a stand, but won't take up too much space because it's just a frigate. This is going to sound vague as ****, but you can tell by from holding it that it is made from quality material.

Or just convert every model in the game to 3d-printable STL files. That would be just fine

By the way, was I clear when I said I wanted a model of the Hyperion Aliastra Edition? Just making sure...

Eos

Or Myrmidon, about 7" tall since it is a vertical ship, have a stand for the table. Already assembled and painted, made from high quality material.

Raven Navy Issue


Definitely a plastic model kit, I'd love the see a scene for eve where we can make up our own ships (maybe even have our own battles, *hint hint tabletop eve hint* but for display purposes and for me flying them around my house I'd want a decent sized one. Maybe the size of a shoe.

Plus then I can do all the ship paintjobs I want instead of buying from nex store, haha.
