You definitely have a point there.

If the missile turret are given the go ahead its just another project that the art team is going to have to work on.
All this would do is eat up time that IMHO could be better spent popping out new toys for us to explode.

I also remember reading a while back that the missiles are tracked individually, which was part of the reason they introduced the turret stacking so as to reduce the number of objects, thus lowering the amount of data being handled by the server in large engagements.

Semantics aside I am a big fan of this new model, hope it makes into the game eventually.

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.

Right now every active EVE player have this model in the current Crucible client because CCP forgot to delete it from release patch. Cool
Anyone interested can use TriExporter (get latest version from eve-files) to view Crow model located at :res/dx9/model/ship/caldari/cf2_a

Assuming that next AT prizes will be for Caldari faction (and Merlin is too cool for redesign) - that Crow may be the next prize frigate.

Missiles are just basically creating a suicide npc ship in space. Which is why its so problematic. The fact that they eat up so much of the system inventory for thier short life spans unlike probes or drones is one of the major problems surrounding missiles.

Most of the prize models that I have seen have been variations on the original design. I don't see why CCP would change that tradition.

Crosses fingers and hopes your presumption doesn't turn out to be correct.
