Ships & Modules

The Apocalypse was once the most iconic ship in the EVE universe, there was something about it since the games release which I just loved.

Here's some screenshots of the old one:

Is there any way we can get an option to have the model type we prefer? I'm prepared to pay a PLEX to permanently revert back to the old model.

I'm sure it's possible, I don't believe for one second it's impossible.

Which one is better is a matter of opinion, so I wont argue with you about that.

some people are so crazy.

My point was that CCP has never implemented, or publicly considered, a system where it is possible to revert back to old ship models. Thus it is impossible for all intents and purposes.

Of course it's not "impossible." All it needs is some code. So maybe if you take the Devs out to supper and give them all handy J's maybe they'll make it possible, just for you, so you can keep feeling special in your special Apoc.

Then again, that raises the question of "CCP, you made it possible to revert back to old ship models, why not extend this feature to other areas of the game like the UI, Star Map, blah blah blah." I'm pretty sure that the general consensus towards the updated UI and ship models of recent patches is overwhelmingly positive. Therefore this would be a make-work project just to satisfy the wishes of a few special snowflakes like yourself.

So no, it's not possible and I would bet my ability to father children on the fact that CCP doesn't want it to become possible.

If it isn't impossible to consider it is at least vanishingly unlikely.

CCP have already tried it after all; years ago, with the advent of Shader Model 3 (IIRC), they ran the 'delux' and the 'classic' client in parallel for at least six months I think. They know the cost of trying to maintain old art assets in a changing game and they quickly determined that it was too high.

Even were you to commit to cover all of the employment costs of a dedicated old-Apoc artist I doubt CCP would be willing to risk such an experiment again.

Actually I was thinking that the model type could be switched in the same way the new skins would be, as long as you've purchased the cosmetic (skin or model) it's yours, and can be changed on the fly.

We the players.

We doesn't refer to everybody. It refers to those who are like minded. Isn't that obvious?

I love the black and cream navy issue Amarr ships. Only military fleet ships that don't have that horribly stupid looking camo. .

i would love to have the options to use the old models skins.
i dont really care about the apoc (even i like the old model better), but i was hearthbroken when the updated the model of my favourite looking ship, the Tempest.
