Ship concept art submission.
Players get to submit their design ideas for a ship and post them somewhere (here) or elsewhere, then the devs or us and them vote which one they liek best, and their graphic team builds it, the designer which inspired teh making should be given money, a free BP and be included in the plot that introduces teh spacecraft.

Or lets keep to CCP's vision and not muck up the wonderful ship designes we have now :)
Besides, no-one has seen the artwork/designs for the new ships yet, so why get ahead of ourselves and submit them.
Alternatively, make a fan-site of your own and model the ships yourself :D

Visually speaking...
Ships that rock: Kestrel(Mostest beautifullest) Thorax, Hoarder, Tristan, Scorpion, Belladrine, Caracal, Megathron, Tempest
Ships that make you go 'wtf?': Moa, Maller(cheekon wings!), Blackbird, Omen, Apoc(unfinished) Dominix, Typhoon, pretty much all Minmatar ships cept Tempest.

Godzilla?? How can you not like seeing godzilla flying around?? Now if we could get the Gallente Shuttle blown up to cruiser size, maybe we could have Godzilla vs. Mothra battles.

The point is that these entries would just be one of the ships, an extra if you may, it would also foster the fact that players can contribute to the game as a whole.

With regard to the Thorax being one of the best looking, I could no aggree more. However, every picture I have seen before I got mine did not show the Spare Chicken Leg under the right rear wing with an engine in it.
It spoils the lines of the ship.
And the Minmatar shuttle is the best looking shuttle in the game. Looks like a Tie Fighter. |

To really make 'em go WTF:
Get an Osprey. Install a hull repair unit. Set said unit to autorepeat. Fly around in 1.0 sectors. Exclaim repeatedly on Local that you're 'confused' because while your spaceship is named after a bird...it looks and sounds like a humping whale. :P
Seriously, though, I love the look of the Moa. Symetrical ships suck. But why do you think I always use plutonium charges in the guns? I'll tell ya why.
BREATH WEAPONS! :)

Edited by: Ganja on 01/08/2003 17:43:28 Let me just shoot this topic down.. nice and hard..
Not to be rude, but they have all their ships made already, just not active yet
Follow this link for a small idea: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=23241
They have all the ships made.. so.. concept are would be a nice idea just for general showing? But I highly doubt they would consider any to be implemented considering they already have a full line of ships made.. they just aren't ready to bring them in yet..

Why is the punisher left out in the 'pretty ship' listings? It's the sleekest looking frigate in the game!

Yeah, the punisher looks cool, as does the Amarr noob ship.. Looks faster & Harder than it is. The Tormentor looks like a big shrimp, but it's still cool.
The one thing that gets me about the ship designs is the level of detail.
Take a good look at the noob ships, spin 'em around and look at the rich detail they've put in. Then compare it with the cruisers and Battle ships. They are far less detailed. The textures look blurred and there's less intricate pipework and vents & stuff (with the possible exception of the Vexor) when you zoom in close.
I don't know about anyone else here, but I reckon that detail helps to get a feeling of scale and flying close to a battleship, there should be loads of nice details that you want to look at., but they look like a scaled up normal ship really. In my experience.
..or maybe my video card is rubbish and it nerfs the models so I can play the game
I realise that to have massive, detailed models for the BS's and cruisers would EAT video memory and disk space. Would be nice to have the option for Hi-res models for higher spec PC's though.
...Oh yeah, and can we put decals on our ships (Trying to return to the thread)

the bestower definetly suits the indy role well, nice big whale like looking ship.
I actually like my blackbird and the thorax is definetly a boy racers ship along with the megathron which are my two favourite ships in the game.
I do agree there is no need for the chicken wing on the thorax, but I will be brainwashed into agreement if there is any sci-fi techie reason for it.
It must be hard making ships look distinctive to race, only the original designer of the ship range has the true vision, everything else is an imitation.

The Moa looks like a stereo.
Support the Alternative market proposition. Clicky clicky. |

OK here is my vote
Omen = Wiener Dog MOA = Large Chicken with no wings Punisher = Kinda Falic Osprey = Dustbuster Bantam = Well endowed Preying Mantas Rifter = Pod Racer Probe = Sailboat Heron and Griffin =Copies of StarWars Ships
These ships would make great Ink Blot tests "No matter where you go there you are" |

You forgot
Megathron = Transformers
Just kiding :)
I only have my concerns about the typhoon, moa and osprey. They are so damn ugly. All other ships are cool, of course, some are more beatiful than others, but this is a natural seletion thing. _______________________________________________
