I'm just curious if there is further info about this Crow model that Sarmatiko leaked from Sisi back in the day before crucible.


I know it was a test version of the skin (so maybe not related at all to the crow) but as a sad capsuleer unable to fly the awesome dragonfly or mantis skins, this would somewhat alleviate my inner nerd Big smile

I'm selling a patch of land on the moon which I acquired not too long ago, you can buy it for a special price if you want.

I think the drake is getting that actually, sadly.

I would train Caldari frig to 5 just for that model. Haven't heard anything about it though since CCP said it was fan made, and then confirmed it was a test model.

Just like to point out though, it's a remodel, a reskin is just the change of a texture, which the Crow we have now got with the V3 update.

It doesn't look complete, honestly. Something is off about the proportions and some of the shapes.

Worse still, it's symmetric, ew.

Indeed!

CCP Atropos got in contact with me over the weekend to correct my mistake here. Apparently this was not a player created ship and was a prototype model created by our own art department.

I really do apologize for giving you guys misleading information. Someone, and I will not say who, had told me the wrong information to begin with so I am correcting this for you as it is the right thing to do.


Just thought I'd simplify the discussion, there is test model. I personallly prefer the current model, but since I don't fly Caldari I am more then willing to not whine about an awesome, classic, assymetric model being ditched for a boring bland general sci-fi one.

Tbh the *Crow* title it's because Sarmatiko found it as a skin over such ships, as far i know that could be a kind of placeholder for a let's say tier 2 Destroyer (would be awesome too a whole new tier of dessies)

All i'm asking it's for the model *destiny* as i personally love that design similar to the Mantis bomber, even if this end as a whole different thing than a crow or a dessie as long i'm able to fly it.


P.S: the overall design seems to be close to the frig size vessels for caldari, cruiser size as much but doubtfull

Had a thread on this... Believe they said no new crow model that one was player made.

That crow model did not get approved for this patch the largest factor behind it is probably the fact they are going to explore the possibility of missile turrets.

It may just be me but I don't find that model anymore good looking than the current one. Way to un-spaceshipy and looks more like somekind of short-range fighter from let's say stargate sg-1 than something eve.

Also, hard-modelled missile turrets are probably out of fashion now that CCP are trying to figure out how the **** to do missile turrets.

I think it should be like the drake's built in launchers, in that they pop up from the hull and aren't actually a turret. Or maybe they could just sit on the hardpoint.

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

Thats just the thing if the they get the green lights for ships to have missile turrets all ships that have KNOWN missile tubes/launchers on them will have to be remodeled for thier removal.
