This awesome ship deserves an equally awesome model, please can we come up with something better than a ******** Crocodile on Stilts?

K, thx.

Hello.
Even though I do not share your opinion on the Maelstrom, I like the fact that you took your time to post your ideas here.
You should also know that GD is a rather fast moving forum and so good ideas often get overlooked and vanish if the post isn't continually bumped- so you might find that "Features and Ideas Discussion" is a much better place to share your visions with the rest of the community.

Fly safe!

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Personally I'd rather have them remake the Tempest. Less awesome but far, far uglier.

I dunno, I think the Tempest is kind of sexy. Not Hurricane sexy, but it's got great pointy bits.

It was less a Feature or an idea, more a demand. I'm just bored, I was wandering around Captain Quarters and marveling at how utterly pointless it all was. Then I saw my Mael really close up in the hanger, and it's even more stupid looking up close!

If you read the freshly released minutes, you would know the minmatar and amarr ships are currently being worked on by the art team (eg. they are being retextured and remodeled in some cases). So now is a right time to contact your local CSM representative to maybe pester CCP about it. I however think that mael is just fine.

I may be in the minority but I'm standing by my guns.

Tempest = good
Mael =Bad

Tempest is one of the few Minmatar ships that looks like it hasn't been cobbled together from spare hullmetal found lying around and you want to change it first? No sense was made.

I am actually content with just waiting for the new and improved (tm) V3 ship models. If they give the Typhoon the quality of work they put into the Dominix, I will be super-happy to die horribly in it. I don't see the Maelstrom (or any Minmatar ship, really) getting remodeled at all. The most likely changes are moving from lame 2D "scaffolding" and panels to more like what they did with the Raven.

Totally off-topic, but when I try to imagine your avatar being kind, it just comes off as exceedingly creepy

Like "I'm only being nice to you so you'll consent to sleeping in an unlocked room in my house so I can then bind and torture you for the rest of your natural life" creepy.

On Topic: Mael is fine.

Still off topic, but I feel the need to reply, please do not consider this as an attempt to derail the thread.
Pulling this off for about 2 hours now and getting more likes more quickly than when destination Skillqueue made her legendary christmas special. Maybe this is the secret to eve, life, the universe and all the rest- just being kind to others??
But thanks for the attention you paid me, I like attention a lot.


Back on topic: The only thing bad with the maelstrom is that it is desperately missing a painted sharkmouth.


edit:
About that bind and torture thing: Just relax. I am not calling on you, Clarice. I find that the world is a more interesting place with you in it.

I would possibly feel OK about Maelstroms if they did this.

Maelstrom looks silly.
Tempest is fine, it's got a unique shape that isn't just silly.
The Typhoon looks like some trash bin you would buy from K-Mart turned on it's side with straws stuck on top.

I'm afraid to see what they do to the ships after they made the Crane look stupid with it's bland grey paint job. It was much sexier black.

I support this thread.

Mainly because I cannot stand how friggin' huge the Mael is relative to other battleships, and especially cannot stand how the turrets are pretty much tiny dots on its massively oversized hull - seriously, why isn't this thing capital-class exactly?

But more than anything else, the texture is awful. It really is. But since that's getting changed with the V3 update, I can wait and see...

Exactly my thoughts. I do agree the turrets are stupidly tiny, though. All the Minmatar battleships are a bit odd in that respect. The Typhoon is a freaking battlecruiser, the Tempest is incredibly thin, and the Maelstrom is enormous. I don't think that will be fixed, though.

I agree. The Crane was way hotter when it was black.
