Maybe they should think about adding speed holes to all the ship models so that they are faster

Nah, just make sure to buy more than 3 bullets the next time you dock at a station. :)

You'd have a point if they looked like half-finished **** that couldn't shoot, blew up the users' gfx cards and was 3 years late.

Cee Cee Pee!

Why you make Ibis symmetrical?

Caldari's lack of symmetry is charming, not to mention part of their lore Big smile

95% of the players are loving EVE, the other 5%? On the forums.

There's only so much ARTISTS can do you know to stop the game from lagging or are you talking about FPS? People can't seem to tell the difference these days.

Personally I'd like to see them mining barges that look different and aren't just a different colour.

I spent about 30 minutes in a reaper until the tutorials gave me the following ships

Slasher
Probe
Burst

They do look great, but its not like my time in them was really important


That's exactly how it feels. But then this is something the CSM asked, and certainly the CSM is not like your average player... Question

Well, first impressions aside, your default ship (which you WILL see many times) should look pleasing.

They are also a common sight (and will likely be more so now) in space while traveling or docking.

I would say it's actuallly a reasonable investment of time.

People also hate bait and switch. Going from the new Tengu Hookbill hybrid to the Bantam or Condor is going to induce much WTF.


And they know what a tengu is on day one?

I'm frankly surprised by all the people saying you only ever see these ships during the first 15 minutes of your EVE life. Do you guys never pod-travel? Don't you ever make use of the smartbomb-(kindof-)insurance rookie ships provide? Ugh

I find pvp in rookie ships quite fun.

Making the Ibis not look like **** is a major improvement in my book.
