Edited by: Cpt Toxic on 20/02/2011 10:13:16 I remember players who were frequent Helios users not liking the new model when they change it. Me included.
I think I actually have a few videos of the old helios in high res, if I can find them i'll post them to youtube.

The Helios still IS the Gallente Covert Op frigate. It just has a rather boring ship model now. You can see the old ship model in the pics we posted.

I've got a few festering in hangers here and there. I've not used one since the ridiculous and stupid change. It was such a great looking ship.
I tend to use the buzzard now.

They wanted to normalise ship roles and make the T2 covops all based on the T1 probe bonused ships. Back then the helios was based on the maulus which has an ewar bonus, Amarr and minnie covops were based on the crucifier and Vigil.
It turned out fine for the Amarr one, minnie is personal preference but dear god, the imicus is horrible.

For your information, the gallente EAS (Keres) has the T2 model of Maulus. If you want the uber Boba Fett frigate, use it :) Those EAS need some love But yeah, the Imicus model is ugly, if not the ugliest (after the Moa of course). -------------------------------- Fulbert. Miner - Industrialist |

Strange choice because they ruined that too - the old vigil hull was perfect!
I think the only covops that looks like a covops should (i.e., slender, slight, fast, and fragile) is the Buzzard - probe and helios model changes were definitely a step backwards aesthetically.

The whole line of Gallente potato-ships ming the universe (along with the moa)

I'd go as far as saying, these were the worst changes CCP has ever made.

In my opinion all of the Gallente ships which had that design, like the Helios, Ishtar, Ishkur and I don't remember the rest have suffered for the change. No longer smooth and green and stylish.
Just blocky and dark green -----

They should revert it to the way it used to be way back, with the imicus model being used for the mining frigate (navitas) and the Navitas model being used as the probe frigate. The Navitas design is way better than the Imicus one, and is wasted on a t1 mining frig that almost no one uses.

I was just thinking the Navitas needs a T2 version.
How about a dedicated cyno ship?

Oh hey a thread about 'the afterthought race'.
CCP doesn't care about black french Gallentean people.
EVE is post-Katrina New Orleans and CCP is literally GW Bush.

Standardization is awesome and all but why are the onyx and broadsword hulls not the same as the cerb and devoter.
In cruiser class hulls that is, They would looks so much cooler.

I bought my Helios before the model change and I still have it and use it. If it gets popped I'll probably cry. I don't care if its ugly now. EC-P8R... You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. |

Talking of ships with the wrong hull / colors.
Diemost should be Gold, not space camo. Viator, Kronos, Arazu, Keres all gold, why not Diemost ? Most people will read this thinking it's part of my post, when its actually my sig :P

Agree with OP.
Why not combine all the above posts and since the scorp got retconned into a non fugly ship perhaps the same should happen to the imicus hull, either that or make that the t2 navitas as the space prawn is much better than the flying bottle opener. Helios needs 3 high slots too...
I have a keres. It is not very good and I never fly it.
Knowing my luck CCP will ignore ships that need redoing like the spacewhale and the flying toilet roll holder that is the typhoon, or adding the second half to the aeon and go for the tempest which I love the shape of.
