I honestly like the new design. The only thing I wish it had was more thrusters.

Brutal yeah. But nothing more a thrasher. Just a bulk of artillery like in old cartoon

If you like so much something steam punk with rivets all around, gears, crankshatf, chimney, wingbat, copper pipe, grill antennas and so on, I believe Sanshas is a better choice.
Minmatar design is only some amarr design without shiny armor plates to wrap a hull and after that some brutal engine to enforce their right.

New Thrasher looks awesome. It makes every other T1/2 Destroyer look average.

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

Can't wait for the Rifter redesign. You think they won't?

It still has solar panels, so that's good - right? Lol

Do not change the Thrasher design! Reasons:
-Nostalgia
-It's the only ship in the game that looks like something in an aquarium. Lying on the bottom of it.

My exact reaction.

It doesn't look anything like a Thrasher, and the Thrasher wasn't begging for a redesign. I don't even like Minmatar ships and I thought the Thrasher was decently good-looking.

The other redesigns have been mostly good. This one? No. Just, no.

I think it'll be the same shape with a shitload more detail. Gotta make sure the most iconic ship in EVE stays up to snuff.

I think they're for reflecting fricking laserbeams, which is why Minmatar ships have higher innate EM resists.

New design looks really cool, especially the thrusters. It does look a little new-Caldari in the front, but some of the WiP sketches with the sloped front design do a good job of maintaining the "classic" MInmatar aesthetic.

They could also modify the extra bulky part on top. That's contributing to the Caldari look.

So, keep the sloped front from the lettered WiP sketches and lose the top section (or shrink/flatten it down somewhat) and you have yourself a winner.

Looks nice to me. Just a shame you really never get to appreciate any of these details in the course of normal gameplay.

so new design for ship that imo needed new design.

input: being from a tribal background, minmatar ships should have a defined concept shape but not a technical perfect shape ( i.g. the organic gallente ships ).

Having this in mind, enny minmatar design should have a resemblance with something but not look technically perfect constructed.
We have this in place to some extend if we look and how ships seam to be build out of pieces while trying to achieve a general visual concept.

Now this new proposed design for the Trasher doesn't immediately resemble anything but it looked a bit too caldari in detail.
For example, the thrusters seam now to be way smaller than in other minmatar ships and the solar pannels that in some cases are a imposing visual icon for the race, seam, in this case, to be placed just because they had to go somewhere..

In general The design shows a good effort but needs better concept and less tech.

thanks,
Nab

I can't understand why the f word CCP is spending its precious time on things that dont need redesign.

This comes up a lot.

With a new graphics engine, you need updated art assets like texture maps and yes even models. Since the orginals can be 10 years old or something it is common that you simply had to redo everything for the new engine. Also it is very common that you have different artists. So it is often less work to just redo the design from scratch.

Of course you may say why update the graphics engine. Unfortunately for performance and compatibity reasons updating the pipeline to be more compatible with modern cards is typically required.

And well i love the new design.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.
