Why the new Stealth-bombers are CCP's best designed ships so far (IMHO).

in addition to being centered around turrets and soon launcher models, ships like the aforementioned ishtar, dominix, arbitrator and others should have a recognizable drone bay, like the runway style lights and openings on carriers, because right now the ishtar looks like a rotting potato with no opening at all for drones to go in and out of

The U.S. Navy has developed a railgun that can hit a target the size of a watermelon from about 200km away.  its probably around 8,000 years in the future, we can go faster then light, be immortal, teleport capital ships, communicate instantly, mine asteroids and make ships invisible,yet still our railguns can't even hit a massive spaceship over 100km....

Scorpion is just fine. specially when its weapon system is ecm and a bunch of antennas. What should be changed is the Rattlesnake. That should have a unique hull.


Yes, pirate hulls should emphasis weapon placement, Navy hulls should look thicker and more resilient.


Yes, pirate hulls should have a more aggressive, strange and almost alien appearence, like the angel ships

I've never been a fan of the Cynabal or Machariel hulls personally as far as looks go.

yeah they do kinda look like they came out the rear end of an elderly camel but they do have that intimidation factor, like theyr brave enough to design their ships to look like ****!

The Machariel is almost epic, needs tweaks and shouls be smaller to make guns look bigger.
Cynabal looks like owl droppings.

Nice job on the Reskins CCP, Nemesis best looking, as for the hound it went from looking like a old fashion attenna tower to a modern Cellular tower P

Holy crap, I'm changing my skillplan to be able to properly fly a Nemesis when Inferno hits now. Sheesh, that thing is awesome.

Yup, all of them look so good. I think I'll have one of each.

Lets hope CCP balances the Nemesis so it is actually playable without gimping ourselves.

I've got good hope for that to be honest. It seems unlikely they would change the graphics without looking at ship stats on their own.
