I don't care how CCP does it or what reason they use to do it, but please return the Helios back to the Maulus base model with the little antennae.
-- Everything else below is just my side rant. The single sentence above is really all I'm after. --
All I am asking for in this thread in terms of support is the Helios model be returned. Nothing else. I do not want this thread to turn into "Give it a highslot" or any other issue. Players have verbalized feelings of betrayal, angst, discontentment and even upset stomachs over the new Helios model.
While there was a very logical reason for the change, I believe that CCP has taken an illogical approach to changing it when most of the players who enjoy flying the Helios were up in arms over the change before it hit the main server, Tranquility.
Sidenote: It is my belief that CCP seriously took zero effort into making the Imicus version of the Helios. It does not have a single polygon added and it has just been reskinned with a new greenish texture. Not impressed.

The imicus hull imo doesn't give the covert ops style look as the maulus hull did.
And those that say 'it spends most the time cloaked, who cares what it looks like'... you can still see the outline of it while its cloaked ;) |

Hell yeah, likewise with the Cheetah/Vigil. The probe/imicus don't look like high tech covert ships, they look like junk cargo haulers. |

Why do you need a remodel on a ship you cant even see most of the time?
Change is something that is most of the time for the best, in a few weeks it will basicly be a non issue

Cov ops frig = astrometrics cruiser. This is just common sense. Now, if you want a prettier Imicus, maybe, but changing the model of your cov ops frigate back to that of a combat frigate is silly. |

Why do you care so much because your covert ops ship, a ship that will be invisible during most of it's operation, looks cool or not? Even if this took five minutes, it would be a waste of manpower. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.81 (Updated 4/8) |

I prefer the 'make the imicus model less of an eye-bursting abomination' option, myself. Having the covops use the astrometrics frig hull rather than the e-war frig is only sensible for purposes of continuity, even if it is ugly. -----------

Have you not realised they are merely matching the T1 astrometrics hulls, with the T2 astrometrics ships ?
So no, this should not be changed back. It has finally been changed and this is how it should stay. _______________

I prefer consistency, especially when it comes to a ship that I see for only 30 seconds every few days.
Don't waste time on this nonsense. |

May be nonsense to you but to others it is not nonsense. Your opinion is it is nonsense, my opinion is the Imicus is dead ugly and CCP did not even spend any time at all making it look nice. Plus, it is more of a standpoint that Gallente are slowly turning into last year's Amarr (where you have people shout BOOST GALLENTE on the forums) and now we're getting stuck with a dog of a ship when it was once a most attractive little gem.
Originally by: Tarminic Why do you care so much because your covert ops ship, a ship that will be invisible during most of it's operation, looks cool or not? Even if this took five minutes, it would be a waste of manpower.
Maybe because I just enjoy looking at it, alright? Fact is a lot of the time it is not cloaked because I'm alone in a system. Or, when I'm docked I enjoy it's curves.
Simple fact is, the ship is pretty. CCP can figure out some way or another to maybe swap around things so they can put the Helios back in.
And to the person that said it's a waste of manpower, do you understand anything about QA? Right. |

The point is a covert ops ship is that exactly, it is not there to be pretty. It is there to be hidden and sneaky. The fact it looks a little exotic does not make this ship unflyable or unusable. It should not change.
Please see arguments in former post, this change balances the game. _______________

I prefer to keep the current model of the Helios. The Imicus hull is the probe ship, mot the Maulus.
I know less than you think I do.

The Imicus is by far the ugliest thing flying in the gallente fleet. and re-skinning it to make electronic attack ships more appealing is just a dirty move.
Do not change ship models midway threw the game. not only does it break the 4th wall BIG TIME, but those pilots that worked hard and trained months of time away to get a ship they liked for it's role and looks are just slapped in the face by this change. If CCP wants to make their new lovechild more appealing than use the same model and re-skin it or :GASP: make a new model for the E-War ships.

NO SUPPORT.
The change to the helios was in fact a buff. It reminds you that you forgot to activate your cloak. --
