It needs some good changes too. Sad

Also, where are T2 bits for Ishkur and Enyo? They were supposed to be added back a year ago or so.

There's nothing wrong with the Imicus. It's just so... Gallente.

Remove standings and insurance.

Personally I say they shouldn't touch the imicus. Because if all they are doing is adding another arm i'd rather it stay asymmetric.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

Guys listen


But seriously, what if they just shortened the wingy bits or cut them off entirely?

Yeah if it had to be redesigned make it intentionally look like a turd. That inner zone shipping skin'll fit perfect.

Maybe it's just me but I've never thought a ship has needed a redesign. Ships in eve look like, well, themselves. An imicus looks like an imicus, and that's the image that comes to mind when I think 'Imicus'. I don't know what preconceptions you guys have about how the ships are 'supposed' to look, but when you change a ships look it just isn't the same anymore.

This post brought to you by CCP's alpha forum alt initiative. Playing the eve forums has never come cheaper.

Post with your NPC alt main and not your main main alt!

Yep. That booger with a kickstand needs some work.

You are wrong. New model is best example how to connect past with future. There is still head with a "beak" and instead one suitcase we have two now in warping state.

Imicus needs redesign badly but it must stay vertical.

Imicus was some sort of a weird mining frig with a bonus to cargohold when I started playing. For such a ship its design seemed fitting at that time(and you wouldn't actually ever have to fly it anyway).
Now the Imicus hull is used for a scanning frig and a Cov Ops and it simply doesn't look good in that role at all IMO, not even close to the old Helios(now Keres).

The upper part of the edit from Koopman van Luxe seems pretty decent and with some additions like some sort of scanning equipment(ie changing the weird radiators into a futuristic looking sensor phalanxes) the new Imicus could turn into a fine looking ship still retaining a bit of its old character.

New Crucifier is an improvement, but it needed that EWar container above & to the side (kinda like one Blackbird hulls have) for that reason specifically.
