The textures on it look stretched. Like the front end was just stretched out like taffy. Also, the Vindicator is fugly. Wtf happened to it's stripes?! All those little "panel" details look horrible.

I hope so, but I highly doubt it. The skin all of the mega hulls have right now has way too many "panel" squares on it. Compare it to the mega hulls in game now and they're much smoother and sleeker. It ruins the new mega's model. |

Are you running low or medium details ? cause that screenshot looks nothing like the Vindi on my test server... mines look really good more shiny and better texture resulotion then the one you're showing in that screenshot. |

That is how it looks on high details. I like to think it's WIP, but if you zoom up close on the new Raven and Tempest, they also get pretty blurry... but yes, it looks pretty stretched. |

The most noticeable thing for me was that they took the 'hull droop' out of the superstructure, as seen from the side. I expect this to happen to the mach at some point as well. I approve, in a general sort of way, but I still don't see why this took place over a fixed domi or celestis model |

Texture for the new megas look a bit low res to me for some reason but I like the look overall. Hopefully they just aren't finished with the final renders yet. |

I think they're attempting to promote a higher level of unity in terms of ship appearances, in the style of the T3 cruisers/tier 3 battlecruisers. I actually really like this Megathron rework. It was a good looking ship before, and it still is- it's just 'modernized' itself a little I guess. |

And that's a good thing Aglais, I especially love where they're going with Minmatar ships, can't wait to see more for Caldari. And I like the Megathron's new model. The model itself is sleeker and looks good, it's the textures that kill it.
Here's a comparison of the Kronos: Old - http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/9321/kronosold01.jpg New - http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/5426/kronos01.jpg
See what I mean? All the extra crap detail they added. They'll probably leave that **** in there and leave it ugly as all hell. Just like they're leaving the Ishukone skins alone (look at the buzzard and vulture). |

We are going over the megathron because we wanted to have all tier 2 BS being redesigned in a row. I believe if we have the time for redesigning the ugly ones (domi, moa, all the old mining ships etc) for the next expansion, we will do just that.

The textures are fixed like vertex was saying earlier, which look now pretty awesome btw even though i still prefer the highres textures on it. I can ensure you the kronos on duality is not the same that you get in the final expansion (just sayin).

Im building spaceships for a living, like the megathron, kronos and the new caldari destroyer for this expansion. I still have many other ships in the works that unfortunately wont be in this expansion or in the next one :D |

If you're redesigning the Moa (or Caracal, or for that matter any Caldari cruiser) please don't give them an obvious and visible cockpit with glass and stuff like the Drake got; it doesn't look right on ships bigger than frigates IMO. |

Does that mean a revamped Apocalypse on its way? :P
Good to know the Megathron texture isn't final because apart from the stretching, it's a really nice model, well, overall the new EVE ships are really awesome, particularly with the small details such as drone bays, airlocks (good for a sense of scale), cargo doors and such.
Although I would argue that ships such as the Dominix and Moa are not ugly, but like the old Raven, have some design features that could be improved on. Afterall, ugly ships are cool in their own ways, some really have character. |

First off, thank you for actually replying to us and letting us know what's up!
Thank god it's a WIP, but I can't help but wonder what is being changed besides the stretched textures. Is it getting a bit more smoothed off? At least the large plate areas, where the gold is now on the Kronos. Right now, it looks like it was contracted to Minmatar to build and they used 1,000 pieces of scrap to make the hull -_-
Also, from the Raven to the Mega to the Tempest, we could figure out the pattern :P Give us a preview of the Apoc! XD
edit: I almost forgot to mention. On the mega hulls, the engines in the back, the whole area heats up and glows and that outer ring around the "ass" of the ship. Looks awesome, kudos on whoever had that idea. |

Hey guys just my thoughts on the new model: I get that in many ways it looks more modern and is part of your attempt to unify the visuals for gallente, and I think that your art design as of late has been absolutely top-notch all around. However, I just want to make one small comment on the new mega. The joint where the ships splits in half, when viewed from the top, now resembles armor in a way normally reserved for amarr ships that have so much in the design that scream "armor" juxtaposed with unarmored elements or underbellies and so many ship noses that scream "helmet." The old mega's joint was one of the best examples of an organic look for gallente, because it looked like muscle. I think that the single best thing about the mega, the fact that is was muscular, has been removed in favor of something that is les compelling and doesn't really fit with either new or old gallentean ship design and instead pilfers a distinctive visual cue from amarr.
anyway, just my 0.02 isk. besides that, love the new, more modern minnie ships, love the new dessies (they really convey scale perfectly and the new direction for the inlays on the armor/underbelly on amarrian ships showcased is truly extraordinary, etc, i LOVE the new amarrian color-schemes and the darker, cultish, more ancient look writ large. BUT, I think the new mega manages to take a flawed but memorable (in a good way!) hull, make it both less flawed but also, sadly, less memorable. |

Well first of if i find a thread that is art related and i can actually answer the question or whatever i will propably reply to it, it could be a proper answer, a troll or a tease depending on my mood .
Right now the kronos on duality is using the same model and textures from the megathron but with a different shader and stuff. The Megathron model itself wont change but because the fixed texture that i can see at work does make the ship look alot better. |

The model in the picture just a different shader+texture but we are thinking of getting rid the machinegun look of the ship itself and i make sure that the amazing ccp phor will do a proper job with the concepting of the new one. |

No complaints here if you want to get rid of the gun look to it. Just make sure to watch him and make sure he doesn't do something stupid, like putting some odd piece sticking out the side like the Omen. If he does, please proceed to hit him in the head, followed by a prompt "no". :P |

aww, i love the apoc, one of the best lookin ships. its side-view is so distinctive. if you are doing tiericide, then why not focus on the BSes that need it, like typhoon and domi? |
