With pirate faction hulls approaching a rebalance, I was thinking maybe canonically replacing (retcon is a nasty word) the hull designs to reflect a better feel of uniqueness. I'm sure a lot of people may be attached to their gun metal megas or bloody geddons, but with the recent SoE designs, who's to say CCP can't come up with exciting new hulls for these pirate faction ships? If lore is an issue, it can always be changed canonically; for example, the Serpentis and Angel Cartel have a little research pact going and that could sprout new Serpentis ship designs based on supposed old Jovian tech. The Blood Raiders could have grown in number and/or kidnapped/recruited starship engineers/scientists etc to develop a new Bhaalgorn hull which resembles more the Cruor and Ashimmu as opposed to a stolen/repurposed Armageddon. For Guristas, that's a tough one. Most of the ship descriptions claim The Rabbit enjoys stealing Caldari ship designs, but for the Rattlesnake, it's rumored that the Scorpion itself was his design. It could be played on this idea and have Kosakami design new hulls for his faction. This would all blend in nicely with the pirate ship rebalances, I think. Especially if they decide to make Gurista ships pure missile-bonused hulls (with large drone bays and bandwidth). I know it takes a lot of time from the art team and that there are so many other hulls that need revamping, but pirate ships are pretty aged too, and at least queuing up a possible visual update to the hulls would definitely be a treat. |

Strong yes with getting custom hulls for all pirate ships. Perhaps use the old scorpion design for the Rattler ( http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/16/15429/scorpion_models.jpg ), that way its still a caldari-stolen design.
Big "nay" again for nerfing the rattler into a CNR with buffed stats, for the 100th time. Want a CNR? Buy a CNR. Want increased stats on it? Fit officer mods. |

Hell yes ! +1
Some people think that yet another painted megathron after mega navy issue, kronos and standard mega looks cool. But i have diffrent oppinion. Same with Bhaal - Geddon, geddon navy issue,redeemer.
That would be especially awesome for blood raiders as they got both frig and cruiser already diffrent. And i LIKE that design style. |

I haven't been following the pirate missile ship threads much, but I guess that's fair. We already have plenty of faction missile boats, Scorp Navy, CNR, Typhoon Fleet, etc. It would be cool if the SoE ships could fit either turrets or launchers like the geddon and replace the laser cap bonus with something else, or just get rid of it. I feel like we have enough pirate boats which bonus lasers one way or another. Or even go about giving Blood raider ships projectile weapon bonuses so they can focus their cap on neuts and nos, allowing more midslot customization. But then that's another thread topic. |

Pirate ships should be left alone, they're already unique hulls (some of them). If you changed any it would be the Guristas and Serpentis designs, but Angel and Blood Raiders should stay the same. Dexter xio - That cool guy |

Angels have their mach. It doesn't need a redesign, it is a nice unique looking ship already. The Bhaalgorn needs its own hull though as all pirate ships should have.
So +1 to this thread, and I assume the art team would love that too. |

That's what I mean, Angel, Sansha, Blood frig/cruiser, and Serpentis frig are fine as they are. |
