Please bring back the old scorpion / rattlesnake model. Ever since the change ive been very sad and annoyed, but i bit my tounge and got on with it. However the other day in jita i saw a rattlesnake and i remembered "I use to own one, WHEN IT WAS BETTER LOOKING!!". It makes me sad to know that my favorite ship is gone for ever Sad.

Anyway bring back the old model, let me relive the good old days once more.

Many thx

Scorpion now looks like a Scorpion...

though the 'Snake is sort of oddly named now.

All in all, New model > old model in all respects.

Old scorpion was a million times better than the Transformer we have flying through space now...

Old Scorpion was menacing, and while it could use a V3 update it was very much Caldari. new Scorpion is made by someone who severely lacks imagination; "I know what we'll do, it's called a Scorpion so we'll make it LOOK like one too. Who cares if it doesn't fit the Caldari design language BURN EVERYTHING DOWN, OUT WITH THE OLD!!!".

A V3ed old model Scorp would have been great.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

OP is incorrect, new Scorpion is superior.

Working as intended.

QW.
With that nickname you appear to be very mature for sure. It totally gives your arguments weight. Edit: wait, what arguments anyways?

I'm with the OP and the supporters on the matter.

The new design clearly isn't bad looking. However in my opinion a long term relationship doesn't need something that is cool and nice looking. It needs something that has s unique character, depth and is interesting. Exactly what the old Scorpion Model stood for.
I can't stop feeling the new design being boring and looking like a plastics toy after having looked at it for more then a few minutes. The old design I liked more the longer I looked at it.

Denied, the current model looks to good.

I do wish there was somewhere we could go and see older models, like in the start of battlestar galactica when they opened up galatica as a museum. I'd say, hey that's a neat idea for ambulation, but they'd probably start charging aurum for it.

... because it's much better to have a ship that looks like a peg legged pirate staggering to the next bar on a pub crawl in a hurricane...

It shows a great deal of imagination. it's a very clever realization of the design.

I personally look forward to ships of other races having the same kind of update treatment.

The imicus in general looks terrible, it must be aborted like the disfigured bastard child it is.

And on topic, old scorpion had its charm, new caldari BS still look better.
