Leave the original Rookie ships in-game, but start issuing these as Mk2s. That way, if you want an old one, you can buy it off of the market and the new ones will be around. |

lol wut,
Any single game out there that uses Normal Maps on there models will have high poly models, thats the whole point of a Normal Map, if they put those high poly models into the game, the game and or your computer would crash and burn,
Most games high poly models can be in the 500,000 poly mark easy for one model, when you bake out the Normal Map and wrap that baked information on the low poly model which would be say a... 5000 poly model you get a lot of the detail from the texture as if it were a 500,000 poly model,
If you had even eight to twelve 500,000 poly ships being rendered in the EVE client good luck getting a frame rate over one, no matter how good your pc is, the game engine probibly coulden't even take it,
Its no secret video game companies have high poly models of there art assets if they go with using Normal Maps lol
If you want more detail, demand high resolution Textures and Normal Maps |

People collect the oddest things in Eve, Can these new ships be a second version so us collectors can save back a older version as a reminder of how things were ?

To be honest, I'm probably not the first person whose never actually thought of that before... and it goes to show how long I've been playing, that for a second or two, I thought you were trolling :( Well, it's an understatement to say that "that sucks", so instead I sat down and tried to figure out how the hell to do it... It's not horribly difficult apparently - it just takes a while. So, I'm uploading a subtitled version to YouTube just now, and it'll be finished shortly. Link to Subtitled Dev BlogI hope it helps. Oh, and I've never done this before, so I'm hoping I did the right thing by not including all the "Umm..." and "Uhh..."' pauses, or repetitions, like. "and I... and I do this thing...", etc. o7
Thank you so much! No I'm not trolling about me being deaf. I also have several friends who play EVE that is also deaf as well. I've been trying to get CCP to sub their video/vlog for a long time with zero luck. :-\
The exclusion of the pauses is okay with me. All I want is to understand what the hell they are talking about.
I appreciate it greatly! |

I think one of the great injustices of Eve has always been that the Impairor model was used for a noob ship. Such a beautiful looking ship should have been used for something more of us would fly. |

CCP Guard, I'm pretty sure a lot of us would like to see...You know....New V3d Minmatar and Amarr ships.
Here's an idea. Open up a poll on the forum, where we can vote for one Amarr ship, and one Minmatar ship. Make it last a week, and show us some screenshots of the ones that got the most votes |

I am glad to see that you are keeping to the rookie ships basic design roots, and making it more snazzy.... I approve of this move!
Although I think the galente ship looks a bit too "sharp" for my liking, and shouldn't the Ibis be unsymmetrical? |

I can not agree more!! Many of us have encountered this but haven't wrote it down I'm sure of this. But your gonna hear it today Tha Ammar ships, just look sexy-fact. The Caldari- Looks,and feel militaristic-fact The Minmitar-Look like tribal, nomadic, genius engineers to make that mess fly-fact The Gallente- look like a drugged up, 1/2 stoned engineer on a bad hair day, hateing their job-Why is this? Where is the elegant, sleek, artistic design that a freedom loving space faring race could make?
CCP Guard, your fav ship is a 'Gas cannon thorax' The image of this is laced with an air of artistic beauty, and bold engineering. Symbolic of Gallente know-how. So WHY in god's green earth, do the Gallente ship look so bad?
The Atron-What happened to the other side of the ship? Did a space monster eat the wing? Imicus- what happened here? A drunk day? Symmetrical redesign is needed. (Dont let him drink while designing this). Incursus- Looks fine, keep it. Maulus-It's ok, Keep it. Navitas- Looks more like a Serpentis design. Was that the idea? Tristan- For a T1 is barley ok, but the T2, needs to lose the flange like pieces that stick out. Make a T2 look like a T2. Catalyst- Reminds me of the Star wars B-wing bomber. Leave it, it's a fun ship to look at, with rotating radar thingy. Celestis- OMG a terrible design. Was Medusa asked to assist with this one? Please fix. My FRecon is laughed at. Exequror- For a Hvy Cruiser with a support mission, understandable, but the engine lay out is.....well odd..... Thorax- One of the few BETTER looking designs. Only modification would be possibly the lower 'leg' engine....remove it. Vexor-Actualy a good looking ship. Brutix- This has a fierce look. A muscular look. Reminds me of Babylon 5 race. It's ok, keep it. Myrmidon-Cool design, it's a good one. Keep it. Dominix- For an 'Old Warhorse' it look like a big Toe (foot). Or a wad of old chewing gum. Please modernize the looks. Megathron- This is actualy a good design, symmetrical, make sense. Hyperion- it looks like it should be a rotation tea cup dispenser. What were you envisioning on this? Can we try again? Iteron- What can be said here. Iterons are...iterons.... design makes sense. Moros- Looks like a bubble factory exploded, and you went and slapped guns on it. Thanatos-It's ok, and look almost completed, but knowing about the big brother Nyx, we can leave this alone....for now.. Nyx-Truly beautiful ship. Everything is well placed. Streamlined, symmetrical, looks worthy to fly. Something to work towards! Erebus- It looks like a Brutix on steroids that mutated, and went terribly wrong. But what do you do with something that big?
I know I've only picked on Gallente but while the actual game play is 'balanced' the visuals is vastly neglected in the Gallente department. Help bring some pride back to the Gallente side. They need help to bring some people to the gallente side and have people WANT to fly those ships. Not laughter. I've got lots of idea, of design but I will follow up later on the other races.

Thanks for the small insight in the production process.
But in the end the only thing that matters is what ends up on the side wall marked 'Done'. The rest just hasn't earned a purple Post-It sticker yet..... Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

So important thing, but fixing such a supercapitalblobs or unuseable ships like EW frigs or gallente command ships or other really important things ? No!!! The noobships the most important things which need redesign, when the players instantly trash it them when they got a noobship. Congratulation CCP!!! |

Yes. CCP has only one team of a few people, and they work on this. There are no other teams, this is all that is being worked on. /sarcasm |

Yeah i 100% agree. And i remember CCP promised after guns pop up from ships to redesign Caldari ships ( Drake ect.. ) because of missile launchers. Infact who care? We want to play, without annoying things like slow OV refresh... If you are not zooming out don't know enemy there lol... so here is the question, who cares noobship design???? |

Remodel != redesign.
The ships are staying the exact same numbers/balance wise, they are simply getting a remodel, which means simply the art department.
Art Department, does not work on balance issues, I.e. " supercapitalblobs or unuseable ships like EW frigs or gallente command ships or other really important things".

While I think the new Velator looks a little too Caldari, I still like the new designs.
But then I love flying / can-flipping / scouting / cloaking / having fun in a rookie, esp. the Velator. What else can mount a MWD, a T2 blaster or railgun, two Warrior IIs, and still not show up on most peoples' killboards? 'Tis also why I swapped to rookieship cynos once I reached Cynosural Field Theory-V. |

I like the new Ibis.
The Minmatar and Amarr ship look ok.
I'm not sure about the Gallente ship, but I don't like Gallente ships in general, so I might not be the best judge of them - not my style. |

While you are at it, BRING BACK RIG SLOTS FOR NOOB SHIPS!
Hardly OP, and made comedy gangs/ganks with noobships possible!!!!
Have no idea why u guys removed them in the first place - especially when there were only expensive 'Large Rigs' available back then.
"I Know guys! lets nerf the weakest ships in the game!!!!"
Kind of like when you nerfed webbing drones, even though nobody ever used them anyway.
"Hmm, nobody uses them, so they must suck. Heck, why not make them even weaker!" |

Err.. this thing about different size ships using similar size textures allways bugged me (also stations/structures). textures quality/size dependance on in game size of things would add alot to the visuals and believability - SCALE of things! But you are probably short on recources to do that ingame.. meh. |

What should be closer looked at is the skin and design of every ship you are redesigning. In my opinion do a few ships currently have strange skins/designs compared to their signature and compared to other classes. Good examples are the Ibis and the Machariel.
Design and Signature should relate each other, so it gets more realistic. |

What the hell do your artists have against symmetry
Just because space is mostly a vacuum doesn't suddenly make symmetry valueless. Even if we buy the whole space is a vacuum so stuff doesn't have to be aerodynamic (we'll put aside for a minute that EVE's space acts a hell of a lot more like a fluid than a vacuum.) doesn't remove mass from the equation
Asymmetrical distribution of mass requires asymmetrical distribution of thrust, asymmetrical distribution of thrust means asymmetrical distribution of structural stresses.
No actual engineer would ever design ships like the ones in EVE there are very practical reasons that most things are symmetrical and it's not simply a matter of aesthetics, Look at real warships they are almost universally symmetrical the exception being an aircraft carrier and there is a very specific functional requirement that resulted in its asymmetry (the need for an observation tower) .
Blocky non-aerodynamic craft make sense in a vacuum, asymmetrical ships do not. |

I cry when I see the reaper, such a disappointment - it lacks aerial and sensors and the weird asymmetry simply looks crap.
Texture and surface detailing are great, but seriously - these ships need designs that look credible and cool, not just weird for the sake of it. |
