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.
Originally by: Ishtanchuk Fazmarai What was the Helios?
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.

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?

Talking of ships with the wrong hull / colors.

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.

Oh lord, not this again.
Yes, the Helios hull got switched out for an ugly one. No, you're not getting the old one back. DEAL WITH IT.
That said, the Imicus should be the next in line for ships to get the "Scorpion isn't cool enough for marketing purposes" make-over treatment. ANYTHING is better than what we have now.
(Unless they copy-paste the kickstand over to the other side of the ship as well. *twitch*)

It wasn't just the change to the imicus hull. The old classic graphics had nice swirly green antenae for the Helios and the Ishkur. I miss them little space bugs.
However, I have come to accept the physically impaired rubber ducky that is the new Helios. Now if it could just swap a mid for a high it might all be worth it. |

Let us not forget the Helios is the only covert ops that has two high slots. So it is not possible to fit a cloak, probe launcher and cyno.
Yet another reason why training for Gallente is simply a bad idea.

I had no idea you guys got cynos too! Time to train Minmatar frigate V.
Here's an idea, but it involves :effort:. Design a new Gal frigate model that whoops buttocks, then send a one angle shot of to CCP to tease them, then show a preview to the players so it goes viral. Finally, then tell them they can only use it if they commission you for 1000 dollars/euros/whatever. They will respect your caginess and send you a check in the mail, unlike all these schm⌂cks who enter free contests to never have their ships make it into the game!
Tornado what? Ha!
Sorry, Pattern, nothing personal. Ship looks hot, though.
