Concept arts were shown at Fanfest already. Look in General Discussions; there should be a thread with linked pics.

Manticore and Nemesis look rather dangerous. Hound looks... like a bobbing pin. Purifier wasn't far enough along for me to get a good opinion of it.

I am kind of disappointed they are completely changing the way the Nemesis looks. Was one of my favorite ship designs.

I like how the purifier manages to look worse.

CCP ******* Amarr once again.

Thank God I'm not a ****** and I trained for Winmatar.

Whoop de doo. New models for a ship that's invisible 90% of the time. This will be almost as pointless as the maller and noobship models.

i think the most interesting thing is that tech II are going to be thier own unique hulls they are not just going to be re painted version of tech I ships...

Wut? I'm a massive fan of the new hulls! If they give the Nemesis some more CPU I'll be stoked as hell - it definitely looks the best. Twisted

Echoing the "nemesis sucks" statement. Was one of my favorite ships, apart from the fact that it's the worst bomber, was the best looking. I always thought the "wings" on the tristan would make excellent missile pods. Turning it into a gallente kestrel is totally uncool. And it doesn't even look gallente, there's no curves at all.

And really, that's the best you can do for the amarr? Ii doesn't look different at all.

Some people will never be happy with any changes. Rather they dont wish to be happy. I for one love the new designs, and I hope the redesign all the t2 ships.

The new Nemesis looks awesome! I'll have to fly it without a cloak just to marvel at it. Blink

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

well if you all think about it, the fact that they are finally doing missile bays meant that the SB's needed a re-design.

can you wonder how silly would the current models look with BS guns attached to them?


also, the SB's design isn't really "new" in the sense that they are build from scratch. it's more like current hulls with extra bits attached/modified. I can still see the tristan model on the new nemesis, and the manticore looks a bit like the kestrel with a remade centership.

Same here, it's a cool hull, and I don't dig the new one nearly as much. I do suppose the Tristan was more "cute" than "deadly", but anyway, it will live on in screenshots. In general it'll take me a while to get used to the apparent loss of the "organic" look of Gallente ships.

However, it's safe to say that the Hound is the real loser here. WTF looks like half a ship. Did someone forget to add something..?

minmatar stuff always looked like it was half complete, so working as intended?

I think they maybe only said it like 15 times or something, so I'll repeat it for CCP.
"this is not final"
They also said that the reason that the Amarr SB was so similar to the original was because it was in it's first steps in redesign.

How about, How dare CCP make pretty new graphics that clash with the old ones and break 10 ten years of history and style?

I'm going to miss the sails on my Hound, I think it was one of the few that reminded me of a sailing ship. But like people say... it will be cloaked 90% of the time anyways so... I look forward to seeing it with its launchers on it.

Many are already semi-unique - at least for some ship classes, even if the changes are just quite minor. But I won't mind more diversity.
