Anyone seen how the new skins for the Hyperion are going to look?
Just wondering if they made it so the engines are not suce an eyesore. Its a beautiful ship, but the engines look like they were tacced on as an afterthought.

The Hyperion is a classic-looking ship, those engines are part of what make it look classic. How can you say they're ugly?
Now, the Exequror is an ugly ship (thank >beep< I sold mine on when I could fly a mining barge).

Nope, all the new ships you see in pictures are for the DX9 Engine.

If by classic, you mean a nice ship, that looks like a waterborn battleship. Then somone straped a colar of engines around it and said "Durr You can FLY"
Ya your right.
The ship is nice, the engines suck. And can they get the zoom on it adjusted already? =P
(Minor complaints I know)

Edited by: VossKarr on 01/05/2007 02:40:12 Some of the models in the game need to be scrapped entirely as, I'm afraid, even a new, high-poly gfx model won't help fix their basic fuglyness. A phrase "WTF were their designers thinking?!" still comes to mind when I view them even in their updated form.

Yea I just hope that Raven is redesigned to the point that it's hard to even recognize.

observe the new blue silver coloring like the other redone gal ships and what appear to be corp badges on the sides of the tail and the top of the battering ram

funny you should say that, I always thought the apoc looked really cool but wondered a little why they only ever showed them from a forward quarter, my first time in amarr space answered that, it's cause the back end looks freakn retarded
wait, hang on a sec, I was talking about the armageddon, but yeah the apoc looks a little gimpish as well

There isn't ONE ship in this game that looks unappealing once you've flown it for a few days. The Raven, Domi, Moa, hell even the Obelisk. They all have their unique flavor. It's like those french cheeses, some ships are just an acquired taste. If there's any ship you don't like train for it and get in the eggpit, take a good look at it and zoom in on its details. Get different dynamic angles.
I for one feel CCP should be proud of every single ship in this game. Every single one but the Exequror, because just wtf -----

The Exequor even wouldnt be bad...... IF the back 1/2 of it had any type of symetry at all.
I cant imagine the headache the engineers must have gone through to get that thing to not fly in circles

Just don't do it with tech 2 ships, or maybe it's just the Amarr one. Every amarr t2 ship I zoom in on shows the glued on extra bits it gets over the t1 hull to not be symmetrical. Worst being the Zealot where the left extra engine is stuck inside the hull and the right isn't. I sure hope that stuff is fixed with the new models.

Looking at that index with all the ships, they look pretty good, but then you get to the Scorpion.
I think CCP just need to drop the Scorpion and Raven, and redesign them, they are stupid looking craft, no one would build them looking like that seriously, and a new coat of paint will not make the Caldari Battleships (minus the Rohk) look any better.
To be honest, I know some of the mine ships look a bit poor (scaffolding anyone), but there are some serious ugly tree ships in the Caldari fleet.
If the Raven appears in the new Graphics engine as the fat, bulky ugly ship it is now, I will cry myself to sleep.

IMHO Its not just the apoc that looks bad from an amarr point of view, but the other side of the coin is that almost without exception all amarr tech 2 ships (Except the Anathema I think - whats it just all about ) look great. Absolution and damnation are 2 versions of the same model that need to be picked out as being excelent models, that look great and have excelent detailing.
I also have to add that the modeling in general on the galente ships always seems to be of a much higher standard. The detailing on the myrm is one of the best in game, if not THE best.

i doubt many military contractors seek to produce pretty vehicles.
On one hand caldari ships are fugly, and that fits in perfectly with their ultra-efficient backstory fluff. Alternatively Amarr ships (Arguably the prettiest in-game) are clad in gold and emblazoned with religious symbols, which matches their fluff.
besides, beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder.

It's going to take more than rear re-design. It's a flying space-snot, for crying out loud! Only reason I bought one was for mining.

Actually I think Gallente has most of the coolest looking ships in the game, followed close by Amarr!
I'm completly inlove with my Prophecy! I have a friend that loves Minnie ships, so, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder! :D

The jaguar looks very nice, get it in a really bright "sunny" system and it really shows the green colouring of it off. Looks very nice.
