It's an old image so sorry if it's been mentioned before.

Future vision concept

I could be wrong, but isn't that a Loki in the foreground (since it's unaffected by the fog/dust cloud). Yet the 'massive' structure being built behind it looks like a Drake...

Though the best part is what look like drones flying around it working construction.

Uh yeah thats a Leviathan

The edge is REALLY hard to see at times but it DOES exist and in this case we were looking at a situation where a new feature created for all of our customers was being virtually curbstomped by five of them

I wont be happy until EVE has death star-ish, planet destroying stations.

What if.. The artist added the Loki as an afterthought to the image... and forgot to add the haze/shading correctly... making it a forced perspective thing between the Drake and the Loki?



Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I'm sure it's a Drake

Drake

Has the same horizontal strut at the top and the three little pods on the sides.

looks like all the caldari ships graphically glitched into the same spot. Kind of a Cald-orgy if you ask me

what's even more likely is they just added the wire-frame-ish texture to a drake model to use as art instead of an existing thing, for whatever reason.

also, good eye op.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

The "gantry" is a regular hexagon through which a drake of those proportions simply could not fit. It's a levi.

Its typical of arrays Ive seem many many times in missions with various ships in them just like that.

You can call it what you like, but its obviously a Drake, there is nothing about it remotely reminiscent of a Leviathan and at least three features unique to a Drake

It looks like a standard "Eagle and Laurel" corp logo to me, but yeah, its a corp logo (hurrah!)

Drake? Leviathan?

Same difference, bigger ship.

Leviathan = Drake on steroids.
