After reading through and commenting on the below Command ship thread regarding the model changes:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=283149&find=unread
I have the below questions for CCP.
Why did you consider the Command ship models needed changing?
What currently slipped out of the plan to accommodate this?
I ask because the justification seems half baked, in the case of the Nighthawk we have now had it replaced with another Drake, just after having a new Drake introduced in the Navy form. The Harbinger and the Hurricane are in the same position.
It has been mentioned in the main command ship thread that the "Tier 3" type Battlecruiser hulls would be a more interesting choice, in all honesty anything to avoid yet more boredom from Drake is welcome.
I just wanted to put this here so that it actually gets read and there is a response from CCP, and just to also keep mentioning that the Ferox Nighthawk is an awesome model.
On the other features though things look awesome, can we just once say screw you yin&yang karma crap and just have all good features this expansion please? |

I understand but the Ferox with HML2s looks amazing and the other question is we often here CCP saying they don't have the time/resources to do a feature. So why would they put this in? Who is crying out for this? |

First off it doesn't seem that half baked.
The EOS became a drone boat. The myrmidon hull is the drone boat BC. Absolution became a laser platform. The Harbinger hull fits this Nighthawk is a missile boat, aka drake. Sleipnir is a Projectile boat, Hurricane.
Honestly I just wish they had kept the original names.
Since this was essentially art department work, I highly doubt it took away from other programming related updates. In fact it was probably easier to use the existing ship hulls that coincide with the new CS bonuses than to change hardpoints etc to fix the current models where their ship bonuses changed. |

They could of redone the Moa, and thus the Gila, also it now means we have 3 of the Drake hulls. They were a boring plague now they are back.

Those are cruisers, not battlecruisers... |

I've always thought the Nighthawk was simply wrong being a Ferox hull so I for one am rather happy with the change.
From reading this thread I'd say you really don't have sufficient support for your idea for it to go anywhere.
As for dev time, since they've already done the work for this do you advocate them wasting that time spent by putting it back the way it was?
Irrespective of the answer, this is a great change long awaited. |

justification: it's cool
what feature did the new cs models take priority over: none, art doesn't do game design |

"Drake is a boring hull" is a really weak argument against the long-awaited change. |

This is really it. CCP goofed in Red Moon Rising when command ships were released. Whoever thought a missile spewing Ferox hull made sense... I don't know. Maybe it was one of those things that was rushed out the door.
Remember guys, T2 ships are getting new models eventually, like bombers and mauraders. I bet the new field command ships are going to look sexy as ****. |

because they fit their T1 variant better.
Nighthawk is and all ways will be a bigger drake. Plus it looks ******* AWESOME.
plus, they are not making a new model, they copied an existing one and edited it. |

I can't disagree more with the thought that a ferox with hml doesn't look awesome. Let's hope they update the t2 models properly and soon then. Anyone wanna swap a nighthawk for a vulture? |

Don't forget the increased production cost and the need for inventors to buy new BPO's |
