I think the Stiletto is one of the better looking ships since day one, it looked good on old graphics engine and it looks even better now. It's the shape really that mimics a hornet diving in to sting somebody. (edit: I think my first ship loss was to a Stiletto the first time I ventured out in to null sec)
Leave the Stiletto as is, use it on burst? I mean that thing looks like a pancake accident gone wild. |

Domi doesn't look half bad, though I never thought the existing design was that ugly to begin with, there's much worse designs that still exist such as the Osprey
I would also say, as much as that new Stilleto looks nice, it also looks NOTHING like a stiletto, and if you are REALLY going to redo some minmatar frigates, the Vigil and the Burst are the ones that REALLY need the update |

Redesign exploration similar to I or K for the a Cyclone update
Thrasher redesign WIP would better fit the talwar?
the look these ships is great but I agree with the comment about the conical engines needing to be higher tech in some way?

Why not using the Thrasher redesign options to change the Rupture. Make it a bit bigger and go...

Nice sleeker Dominix hull! Takes me from I-am-never-flying-that-potato to I-wanna-see-how-that-looks-when-I-fly-it!
Stiletto Redesign WIP: Cool-looking ship, would love to see it in-game, but it does not look like an interceptor. Most of the mass of this ship appears to be in the wings, which make the ship look heavy and slow. (My first impression was that this was a stealth bomber. The nose pylons echo the Breacher.) The wings look like unraked glider wings. Maybe cut the wing mass to one-half or one-third, rake them back, swap the material to the solar-panel-style Minmatar wings, and then double them to be Slasher-style dragonfly wings? Are there thrusters on this model at all? Hard to tell, but if there are, they may need to be more impressive to give a better impression of this-thing-is-fast.
Probe Redesign WIP: Overall, the ship looks flattened, shortened, and widened. The combination of "flat" and "wide" implies tanky and slow, which what the other races' ships are compared with Minmatar ships. Minmatar ships are generally less tanky and faster/more agile, which befits a sleeker profile. The existing Probe's asymmetrical depths and heights (which are absolutely fascinating to me - I am forever spinning that ship around to look at different parts to imagine what is in each section of the ship) are mostly lost. The redesigned engine nacelles resemble short, fat legs when seen from above/below (granted, the existing Probe's engine nacelles look like square, blocky legs from above/below, but I think they look better when they are more tall than wide). The pyramid on top of the ship looks like it was borrowed from the Caldari and installed backwards. The "neck" is reminiscent of a Tempest, which is nice, but the cockpit with its buglike antennae don't look like a cockpit - they look like the end of the neck which was abruptly terminated. I do like the lances, but not the wings. Summary: please don't replace the Probe with this.
Thrasher Redesign WIP: This is an amazing piece of work and should totally get into the game! But maybe not as a Thrasher. The Thrasher's existence has been exquisitely linked with another ship, as shown in its description: "Engineered as a supplement to its big brother the Cyclone, the Thrasher's tremendous turret capabilities and advanced tracking computers allow it to protect its larger counterpart from smaller, faster menaces." That description gives meaning to the Thrasher's existence and purpose. The Thrasher's design should therefore be visibly similar to the Cyclone's design. (One of the most compelling aspects about the existing Thrasher/Cyclone designs is that they somewhat resemble a freight train coming at you! Nobody wants to stand in the way of a train!) Additionally, this design seems like more of it could be appreciated if it were larger, say as a cruiser or battlecruiser. (If it's going to be a Minmatar ship, it needs more thrusters!) I also recommend flipping it upside-down and experimenting with that.
Thank you for all your hard work!

Dominix change isn't bad, long needed. Stiletto change looks alright, but I don't really see why it needs wings, we are in space after all... Probe change is alright, current one looks lame.
The thrasher though...why? The current ship looks awesome as it is. Maybe tune it a little and make it more sleek and slim, but totally revamping it is changing a pretty iconic ship that arguably looks pretty good the way it is right now. I would be very said to see one of my favorite ships change like your concept designs

Want to add to my previous comment, that I really love new Thrasher design but not as a replacement of existing model, but as a separate one. Think of it like a cross-faction pirate ship that utilizes Caldari/Minmatar features. For example, missile boat (from Caldari) and armour tank (Minmatar). Also, new thrasher reminded me WW2 armoured vehicle Sd Kfz 250 (series). |

Stiletto: Good Probe: Good Dominix : Good (finally!)
The Thrasher... meh. I agree that Minmatar ships need to look more advanced, especially when IIRC a good chunk of them were designed around the time of the Rebellion (Scythe, Wreathe, Rifter etc.), so it makes sense that over the course of about 130 years since the rebellion, that the Minmatar, who don't need to scrounge ship components anymore, look a bit more advanced in their ship styling. But this new design doesn't retain the look of the Thrasher as well as the Domi 2.0 does the original Domi, or the Probe 2.0 does the original Probe - as someone said, it could easily be mistaken for a Caldari ship as it doesn't have that signature Thrasher shape or the more simplistic Minmatar design ethos. The Minmatar are all about tribal heritage right? I'm not seeing design heritage here.
I'm all for more advanced looking Minmatar ships (case in point, how awesome the Svipul looks next to something like the Rupture), but I think the Thrasher looks a bit ~too~ advanced - even if it is a nice looking design, in my humble opinion there's just too much going on for a destroyer class ship. The fact that it just looks like a Caldari ship that's been left out to rust just doesn't fit in with what I think of when I think the word "Minmatar" - there ships were always more simplistic, which gave them their versatility and represented their under-funded developments.
It is growing on me though, even as I write this... now, something like this Thrasher design for a new Bellicose.. <3

I agree with much that has been posted here. The new Dominix design is EXCELLENT, a classic updated. I love the little touch of the drone hangar :)
The Stiletto and Probe are really good, although I would thin down the Probe central tower a bit.
The Thrasher . . . urrrrrrr? To me it's too Caldari in appearance and too busy in design. Of the 'Thrasher Concepts' I dislike A & D the least, while the 'Thrasher Redesign' could be improved by removing the top structure. I like B the best in the 'Thrasher Variants'.
Overall I like the new direction Eve art is taking and look forward to more new designs. Thank you for sharing some of the design process with us; it can't be easy having your hard work subjected to criticism, sometimes harsh. Congratulations on your promotion. |

I just want to say, I cannot agree with this more. The new art direction, even if I personally don't agree with it completely at times, is a really integral step of making this game look a lot less like the original 2001-2003 designs, and more like a current spaceship game - nobody can deny that some new spaceship games look a lot more advanced at times (Elite and Star Citizen for example), and I really feel that these new designs help keep EVE relevant in a graphical sense, with things such as PBR, V5++ shaders and the influx of new models. The Valkyrie fighters as well <3...
But we cannot neglect EVE's decade+ long history and completely revamp everything to a ~totally~ new style - the new caracal, domi, probe etc keep their races designs legacies... the Thrasher, whilst nice, just doesn't, or at least is too rapid/bold a change compared to other Minmatar ships... unless CCP has plans to do a sudden reveal of a revamp of every Minmatar ship (CCPlease!) :P
Seriously though, it's a real juxtaposition of Minmatar rust and all these advanced hull hardpoint's and sensor arrays and stuff on the new Thrasher model... though maybe it's just showing detail that wasn't always possible on the old models? Maybe Minmatar ships have ~always~ looked like this? Dammit, this new Thrasher model is growing on me, I'm actually starting to see how good it is :P
Keep up the good work, and I hope to see more of these designs!

It is good that you modernize the old designs and with the Tempest and Vargur you have done an really amazing work (thank you for this, I love them). But PLEASE be close to the original and iconic shape of the Thrasher and improve and modernize this one. PLEASE don't invent a complete new ship. |

Nah.... Design by committee is never a good thing. And the general public has terrible taste. The artists know what they are doing, it's their profession. They don't need the "help" of non-artists.
The ship design contest on Deviantart was (eventually) a success though, I think. There was a ton of trash for CCP to sort through, but the top tier of artists came up with a few interesting designs. Then CCP artists took those shapes and worked with them a bit, to produce some pretty cool looking ships. But that is allowing one outside artist to suggest shapes and form, and then filtering it through the usual CCP artists. That is quite a bit different than letting any random Joe Blow from the forums have input.
I like seeing all of this preliminary concept art, and I hope CCP continues to let us see it. But the artists should probably ignore the threads, or take it all with a grain of salt.
Just look at this thread, the Thrasher is going from this to this, and people are crying about it.

I like the new Dominix. Refining the original works well. I like the Stiletto, it's miles better than the original. It's harder to tell about the Probe concept from the angle it's shown. It looks promising.
However the Thrasher looks terrible. What the hell is going on with it? I looks like it has taken design cues from the Svipul and the Talwar - both of which look bad. |

The new Dominix is very good. I really like the new Probe, and totally in love with the inty model. It looks like sort of a... killer mosquito. Great.
The new Thrasher, however, is not.

Couldn't agree more! I really like the new direction the design team is taking the ships - seems like there is better scale judgment/ratio and I really like all the tiny tech bits that a showing on these models - the same happened with the Confessor and Jackdaw - great to see this style and level of detail appearing on a Minmatar ship.
Great work! Keep it up CCP.

The new thrasher model is a great looking ship. Unfortunately it doesn't really look like a Minmatar one. Calderi with wings. Thought the Stabber was an excellent redesign which still looked very Minmatar. Comparing the stabber with this new thrasher it's hard to see how they are from a similar family of ships. |

First, the goods. I'm really glad you guys are focusing on some ships that badly need re-designs such as the Dominix and Probe. There are a great many other ships that frankly fail to catch the eye in a flattering light from any angle, and these include (but are not limited to) the Bellacose, Scimitar, Aeon and Ragnarock (seriously it looks like the designer just got bored and gave up). Please continue to focus on these areas and bring us awesome looking ships!
Now the others. STOP MAKING GOOD LOOKING SHIPS UGLY!!!!!!!! What in Gods name is this abomination your trying to pass off as a thrasher? It looks like a shoebox with some solar panels glued on at odd angles and in no way does it make me want to fly a thrasher or sabre. I have some serious issues with the art department deciding what parts of EVE need redesigns because you seem to be on a different page with the wider EVE player base. For instance you redesign the Moa, a great move that was needed. Then you neuter the Incursus, a model that EVERYONE was happy with the way that I was. And on top of that you MADE IT WORSE! It wouldn't be so bad if we could just complain and get our pre-abortion Incursus models back, but we can't cause 'we put too much work into it'. So maybe before you go kill another ship model actually get some feedback and STOP AND DESIST! LEAVE THE THRASHER ALONE, YOU'RE ONLY MAKING IT WORSE! |

Please keep the broad forehead of the current Dominix!
Any updates on variant models for the Enyo and Ishkur?
Stiletto (one of my favourite ships) looks awesome. Now, make the design shown the in-warp model and for sub-light just swing the upper wings (lower wings stay horizontal) to about 30 degrees to the top. Would make it even more awesome |

With all the graphical passes you've been doing, some old ships became terrible. The last pass you made (v5something) was in my opinion a huge boost to Minmatar, lot's of ships look great now, the rust stuff is awesome, big thanks to all who made it.
The problem is that you are trying to make good looking ships look better (a very daunting task) instead of improving old ugly designs that did not got much better even with the v5+. I don't think the Trasher needs an update, not even the Probe, and even if you want to do it they should be at the bottom of Minmatar lineup. Rupture, Belicose should be on top (personal opinion).
I understand that you artists like to challenge yourselves, but trying to change the Trasher? If you're going to take into account the community opinion (that's a big if) this will take you months and several iterations. While if you try to improve the Rupture (maintaining the pirate ship look), I wouldn't be surprised if you could make it in 1-2 months. I really like the rupture design, but everything on it starts to look very very outdated, the back of the ship lost personality with all the graphical upgrades, and even if some parts of the ship are very well textured now other parts have, well... nothing on it, it looks bad.
Overall, I don't like any of the new designs, I think you have your design priorities wrong, but I can't forget that I didn't liked the Talwar concepts either, and in the end the ship really looks good. Just hope you can make me change my opinion.

If your going to change the thrasher at least consider Option D on the Concepts sketch, its the only appealing design imo and somewhat falls in category with ships like the corax with very visible rows of turrets/launchers. the rest on that picture are not as easy on the eyes compared to D

The minmatar ships have always been flanged together and haphazard. These new models seem a lot more caldari like and a lot less fragile. I think you guys shouls redo this.......
Domi looks cool though. More in line with a ship of it's stature.
