Will you CCP ever do another player ship design competition? I remember the old one you did through Deviant art. I would love to see more player designed hulls in game.

It would be nice to see a new line of ships. I don't know what for. Maybe a T3 frigate or BS. I don't know. Maybe start some tier 4 ships. The galaxy is your oyster CCP.

You can do it!

Instead of new ships... how about revising the old ones?

I agree, but I want to see new content. Not just old ships with new skins.

New ship models need ship stats to go with. Or will they be rats?

Random NPC's floating through space as part of the populate space initiative... Or ya know.... new ships. Rats are cool too.

Whichever. I'm also perfectly fine with sub par ships that can be older models no longer updated by the empires, civilian models, or simply just travel ships, yachts, etc.

But we also cannot forget some of those poor WTF hulls that have still yet to be updated. ANY of the above are cool

Using the logic from my post, I do remember putting T3 Ships as a possibility...Roll

The "escort carriers" from the last contest could be more useful than ever now with so many citadels around.
I also would like to see a SOE blockade runner, that seems to be a good match for their style.
Also, pirate faction destroyers please!

I think we shouldn't put in more t3 ships until we can figure out what they actually supposed to be, not to mention the balancing issues the current ones have - I like the flexibility as their main trait though.

If you want an intelligent argument, please do, I'm up for it!

But if you want a trolling contest, I will win it by simply not participating.

The old contest still has loads of awesome designs like the Stahlvogel or the Naru-Kami. CCP still has loads of concepts to draw from for ships.

However, a contest for designs for the new structures would be welcomed. The Keepstar is an abomination of a station and completely breaks with the sleeker design that the Astrahus and Fortizar start with. Since these structures as well as new one for other purposes will play a very big role in the future, designs suggestions from the players could be an interesting way to involve the community more.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I would love that. I love thinking about spaceships, but I'm only good in photoshop/Gimp2. I dont know how to texture or make mesh models like that. But if they released a small download kit that taught us how I'd make lots of ships :)

Like all the amarr frigates, destroyers, cruisers except the mallet, battlecruisers except the Oracle, Armageddon, Archie and avatar.
Those could all use revamps.

New ships for new ships sake. What could go wrong...

The worst that could happen is they make another svipul, right?

Even if the game don't actually need more ships right now, I think a design contest in every 1 or 2 years would be great. The prizes could be PLEXes or skill injectors winner could get a BPC or even a BPO for his ship.
People could design new ships, update or completely redesign some of the current ones, it would be great!
And the art team would get a lot of designs for free to work with, everyone would win.
