This. I remember being completely offended about how ****** the Ibis looked. I think I even abandoned it in space (my assumption was I would never see it again.)

Of course, I later docked in my pod... which made me think DO NOT WANT

Also, IIRC it was Mittens who pushed for these to be redesigned based on this logic. So place the praise there

Impairor looks good, but always was the best looking noob ship.

Ibis looks more like a gallente ship tbh, but regardless now looks good.

Velator is some stupid foreshadowing of the ugly Arazu and catalyst. Both ships are stupid looking and combining them in the velator does not make any of them any better.

Reaper has always been a piece of ****. Seriously, it looks totally thrown together. Like scafolding given some engines. Why could it not look more like a hurricane, Maelstrom, Typhoon, whatever. Plenty of decent looking Minmatar ships to emulate. Unfortunately, what it presently looks like, and this redesign still leaves it looking like, is a jumbled mess that is only similar to the Burst (one of the stupidest looking ships in the game).

It makes perfect sense that the most basic Matar ship would be exactly this Lol

. Especially when you consider some of their larger and higher tech ships are rusty piles of scaffolding and wingy bits.

The Imparor hasn't really changed much. Cleaned up somewhat, streamlined...

The Ibis is really out of place with the mini-tengu look. I was hoping it would get the Raven facelift. It's a good looking small ship, but it's not an Ibis.

I do like the new art-deco Velator! Nice!

The Reaper needs to lose the fake-gun looking things. Otherwise not bad (if you imagine the new black-and-rust textures on it)!

Thing is though, we're now several years (and tech levels) after the time when the Minmatar actually started needing to kludge ships together, and a lot of Minmatar ships now are capsuleer-built. The designs should be starting to get cleaned up and refined.

IMO there should be a shiny kickass capsuleer version of ships (the ones we build and fly) and the NPCs get all the old beat-up obsolete designs (navies aside) since they don't have the kind of resources we do.

Ibis and Impairor are excellent.

Velator is still weird, and actually less gallente than before.

The Reaper is proof that in MMOG's, the worst looking ships/equipment are the ones with the best stats that everyone wants to use, despite being horridly ugly. In MMOG's, you can't be powerful and NOT look like a dork

Terazul The Scope Gallente Federation Likes received: 89	#54 - 2012-02-17 01:53:30 UTC I find it difficult to judge anything about these ships without the proper shaders applied. No colors, no reflections etc. make for a very different model than what would be seen in-game. That said, I can at least judge the shape, and I must echo the folks wondering WTF CCP has against symmetry. Just because you can doesn't mean you should...
