More specifically the new reapers?
Yes its a trivial matter, but it shant go unnoticed. I often fly my rookie ships to quickly travel from region to region, and I cant bear flying a ship that looks like it was bought at toys r us. What happened to the signature style of minmitar ships. Rusty steel, transparent solar panels, sharp edges and duct tape. What are these contoured edges?!?! Did the reaper have sex with a gallente ship and poop out this atrocity?! I demand answers! |

In short, no. I love the new ships, although admitedly, haven't have a good look at the reaper, don't have any filthy slave characters. The Impairor in particular is my favourite ship in the game now, and Velator/Ibis are awesome. Assuming the Reaper matches the concept art (the other 3 do) I actually prefer it to the old Minmatar ships. It atleast looks remotely space-worthy. The old Minnie ships look like scaffolding with engines, was never a fan of that style really.
Also, still hoping CCP add T2 ships with the rookie hulls, I wants me a battle Impairor(that doesn't suck) |

Sorry, I just think the Minmatar ships are all awful I only really like the thrasher, and that other ship that looks abit like it, cyclone maybe? I can see how changing the style so much would annoy someone with a rust fetish though.
*edit*
They have been in since the last patch. Oh, anyone noticed the icons for the ships still show the old style? Wish my sexy Ibis had a nicer looking icon. |

What now? The new Velator is great. The old one was awful, and i think they managed to renew the design whilst still keeping the "Velatorness" of the original. Guess theres no accounting for taste |

The new reaper looks like a chunky sprite out of a 1990's Wing Commander game. I am disappoint. |

New reaper looks totally awesome, just like all the rookie ships now. I sorta wish they were more viable to fly around for fun because I adore how the Ibis and Reaper look now. |

you do realise that most minnie ships are just unfinished/internal structure of gallente ships right? Staber-thorax vexor-rupture myrmidon-tornado(oh and its back words and up side down, silly minnies)
so all and all i can see why it looks galente I am in Factional Warfare. Have been from day one.-á-áI will never work for a mega corp in null-sec. Do not make FW like null-sec.-áMake FW worth our time. Reword us for what we already do.Give us some more activities to do. |

I'm waiting for the day one can link the rookie ships in chat or notes. Kinda sad CCP made all this effort and you can't see another ship than the faction you were born into. Or make it so you get the rookie ship of the faction of the station you dock in? (if you have the racial frig lvl 1 that is) |

Haven't checked all the ships but so far I like the Reaper and the Velator except for the fact that the Velators lower engines don't have engine trails :( (though they do have a glow still... )
Need to load up a 200DPS Velator and have some lolfun. If I helped you out, Technical Issue,-áenemy gank, popped your poor fit,-áhit the "Like" button. |

I like the new Velator look as well. But now those poor Gallente drug-fueled designers are going to be despondent if all the ships are going to be made to look different than their old trippy dreamy originals did. |

No kidding. All I've seen is the ibid. Ugh. So wish you could link rookie ships. |

On a related note, anyone noticed how on the concept art for the Ibis, it shows turret hardpoints on the top of the craft, and also on the nose below the cockpit in addition to the side mounted hardpoints? Ingame there are clearly hardpoints in these spots(you can see where the turrets are meant to go) but weapons are all mounted on the side hardpoints. What are these mystery third hardpoints for? Secret T2 rookie ships in the works? I certainly hope so. |

Ugh, I hate the new Reaper. I just rolled a new Minnie char and since her job right now is to sit in a station and train some boring skills, the Reaper is all she has. It's seriously lolbad, looks like something from a cartoon about spaceships rather than something that follows the Minmatar ship-(and stuff)-building aesthetic in general. The old Reaper looked like a piece of space junk that fell off of a bigger ship, but the new Reaper is far too much in the opposite direction: cartoony, something that looks like it came from WoW.
Not impressed, and lol @ it being the ship used in the "their gear, our gear" promo. I see that it actually HAS been aimed at WoW players who are used to cartoony graphics, it seems. It all makes sense, but the ship is still bad and not at all badass Minmatar like.
Congrats, CCP, you achieved the impossible: made the Reaper worse than it was. |

Just discovered that the Velator weighs in at 1.148.000 kg, while the Gallente Shuttle weighs 1.600.000 kg. What's up with that? Do they fill the shuttles with lead? |

The rookie ships show up as Pirate NPCs. NPC fits often include more guns than available to players. |

I like all the redesigned rookie ships, they look nice. I like the Amarr one the most.

You get what you pay for. The Velator's are free, prolly made by the lowest bidder. I wouldn't be surprised if the armor plates are actually hollow.

That's half as fast as your standard T1 frigate, and less than a quarter as fast as some ships (certain interceptors and covert ops).

Yep. It's better to use a shuttle if traveling is the sole purpose.
