So, everybody gets a new Destroyer hull, and the Amarr get a re-skinned Coercer? Cool. **** those slave-owning religious zealots. |

I like the Minmatar one, but I think it would look much better without those blocky things at the front. |

I like the new Gallente destroyer though, can't wait to slap those balls around a bit. Its good to be Gallente. |

I feel like the amarr one should be redone. Seems lacking compared to the others.
The caldari is my favorite. <corrupt> |

The Ore frig looks nice but most of the DD's are just meh to me. But the Minmatar DD is just a sad looking excuse of a ship. It's one large box with a smaller one on top and a few pointy solar sails glued up front. It just seems like a lazy attempt at ship making. |

The Caldari and Gallante designs are classic, very well done. No more need be said.
The Minmatar one clearly has WIP on it (it's the only one that does) and has a note below it pointing this out in no uncertain terms. I think this model, with a few tweaks and some serious work done on the textures, could end up being excellent.
While the Amarr one has some very vague resemblance to the Coercer it's linage (to my eye at least) is far more closely related to the new Amarr Stealth Bomber hull the Purifier... which lends a nice bit of sensibility to the line. It now only leaves the Nemesis as the odd man out in terms of most ships having design similarities with other ship hulls of their given race.
To me it looks like the missile boats will have 8 hard points, and the drone boats will have 4... which seems just about right. It will be interesting to see what the final bonuses are. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

That is pretty cool, you should EVE Mail it to some of the Art Designers.
That big WIP probably stands for Work in Progress so you might have a chance of influencing the design. |

Caldari is very good, that is a warship.
Gallente is interesting, like a maxi trimaran in space. Very froggy!
Amarr and Minmatar are unacceptable and should be reworked from the ground up. Sorry, but they are just blocks with some stuff at the front. Gallente - the choice of the interstellar gentleman |

The amarrian one doesn't quite..... look amarrian to me. Maybe it's the fact that the hull isn't smooth and well rounded; it's instead got ridges and straight lines every so often. Then again, it is concept art, so that might change. Still looking forward to it though. ISD Dorrim Barstorlode Lt.

Caldari destroyer - painfully obvious asymmetric design. 3 flippers on 1 side, 2 on the other?
On the other hand, the Charon does it well. If you want asymmetric design done well, look there. or the Naga or the Manticore.
When ships are painfully obvious about their asymmetric design traits, it sticks out like a wounded bleeding thumb. Much like the Raven whose hull -seemingly- hasn't really been updated in the last 8 or so years. |

Looks like the salvage drone is ready to work, cutting torch and all! I hope they actually work well.
The new drone AI is going to make it difficult to use them efficiently, like salvaging with drones while running the mission,.
Art looks good though ... too bad we can never see it unless zoomed in and looking at nothing else. |

The new Minmatar destroyer still looks ugly as ****. The new Amarr destroyer looks almost exactly like the existing one. The new Caldari destroyer looks like some sort of a Kanoo. The new Gallente destroyer looks like a race pod from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
and the winner for the best looking design is... Gallente! \/ you win a gank. |

I don't think i've heared CCP say anything about a new tempest model though.
Like the one that was on duality: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5182016/2012.09.21.18.22.10.jpg |

I like all but the caldari one. Caldari one is a nice design but just doesn't fit the race.
I'll fly the minmatar one since I'm trained for it and I like it's design. If I was to say how to improve it I'd like to see the box on the top of it redesigned so its not so 'boxy'. |

Combination of the direction it is flying and the turret spots look like the escape pods, the neck also has a little feel of the Frigates MAC Gun. Funny people can it a MAC Cannon or MAC Gun when the C stands for Cannon.
I always thought the Typhoon was slightly Pillar of Autumish. It has a similar bulky shape to it.

The minmatar dessie is just an example of the hardships minmatar have to go through... After they had searched through the junkyars for enough salvage to make the Tornado, they yet again had to start building another ship type.
With so much good scrap being used to make the tornado and all the rest of the shiny bits they could find, used to redesign the stabber... they had to take whatever leftovers they could find to make this new dessie... The result is obvious, but it will propably be a good ship regardless |

I only fly Gallente ships, but I think the Minmatar destroyer looks the best.
May well train for one, just to look at it. I took the wrong turn years ago. |

I somehow missed info about this: are these new destroyers going to replace the previous models, or are these a new tier like the Tier 3 BCs? "If the essence of life is information carried in DNA, then society and civilization are just colossal memory systems." |

I need to see this thing in space with mods fitted. Consensus above not too positive. No doubt at all that it could be improved, hence the WIP I suppose! |

This is a second line of destroyer alongside current models. There was a blog with role and suggested stats but I can't link from here, apologies. |

I love 'em all, especially the salvage drone. However, the minmatar destroyer needs a TON of work. |
