Oh dear god no. It looks so much better now.

Idea opposed.

Leave it gone, the ears were silly :/

Leave the frill out. When I get the spires back on my beloved Curse, the Mateary can get the frills back on their Vaga. I wholeheartedly approve of this change because I love these tears. Good job CCP.

So I have been wondering about a thing. What if the Frill removal was god's punishment for overuse of ECM drones by Vaga pilots? I have seen plenty of videos where bad Vaga pilots escape their destruction by a lucky jam.

Fly the Vaga like a man and the karma might turn again

They're ears, a frill is circular.

You're asking for ears.

Sad Panda wishes Frill to be return....

Bring back the old Fed Navy Comet first, taking away my police car was the worst thing CCP has ever done.

The sails were not iconic, the speed and agility was iconic. Most people here have turned this into a bandwagon "Be one of the cool kids" circlejerk, without actually giving a care one way or the other, or having flown it.

Leave the frills off. It looks more deserving of speed now without the horrible atrocity that were "wings".

vaga is a piece of junk anyway. Any, and I mean any, half way decently fit battlecruiser can pull it out of the sky without so much as a sideward glance. Forget your blasted frill. Trash it and buy a new ship.

also, opposed. At least it doesn't look like crap anymore.

The frill was what made the Vaga special.

Please bring it back.

I do NOT want to see protestring fans at Fanfest dancing "FRILLER" to make a point

/me shudders at the thought

Oh I do. I'm so up for making that happen. It'd be a fantastic warm-up act for CCP Soundwave's version of Shatner's Rocket Man that he failed to deliver this year.

The frill was what made the Vaga special.

I don't always fly my Vagabond, but when I do it's to slake my frill lust.

Bring it back or I will be forced to wear my wifes frilly underwear.......

(Actually. I might wear that cute thong anyway)

The frill made the Vagabond model one of the niftiest around. I am sad :(

new Vag model

I thought the frill looked horrible to be honest.

I agree the Vaga should have some kind of model difference from the Stabber, but that frill can stay gone as far as I'm concerned.

Once, there was a minmatar assault cruiser, that plied the space lanes wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting.

This ship was terrifying to behold, much like a Frill-Necked Lizard. Unfortunately, this ship has been defrilled, circumcised, some might say.

Bring back the frill of the Vagabond.

Hey vagabonds

A number of you are missing the so called frills we had removed from the Vagabond during the v3 process, and I think itGÇÖs totally fair that I (the Art director) give you an explanation why we did that, and what our intentions (visually) are with the Vagabond in the future.

EVE is constantly under development and we in the art team look at the renovation process as an ongoing never-ending task that we love to keep working on alongside the new assets we make every year. Some players donGÇÖt like to see to many changes made to their beloved ships, but because of this, the fidelity of the game after all these years is still hard to beat and EVE keeps getting great reviews for the art every year.

However maybe the decision to remove the frill from the Vagabond was taken too lightly and I didnGÇÖt realize how attached to the look of the ship you were. To me, as the Art Director the Vagabond is a Thukker version of the Stabber, but with Brutor sails attached (rather badly, with intersecting polygons) to the bridge area that make the ship look a bit silly. But after giving it some thought I can understand the iconic appeal. I think you should get your frills back in some way or the other.

That being said, I always wanted to fix the old Stabber up a little bit and give it some more love. IGÇÖm not talking about a huge overall change to the ship. But rather just balancing a bit the engine area and making some parts a little more believable. This would of course give us a chance to give the Vagabond some extra care and design the frills with Thukker and some functionality in mind. I already have Stephan St+¦lting an amazing concept artist working on it and I promise to keep you posted about the development in the near future. Until we finish it you still have to live with a GÇ£no frillsGÇ¥ Vagabond.

Thank you much! We are Thukking thrilled at this new development :) Keep up the good work, and thanks for listening!

Congrats to all who took part in this successful campaign and thank you to everyone for their efforts. CCP's Art Department remains the best in the world and they listen too.

Check out the new frills in this devblog.

I wonder if they're aware of the desire for the return of the Federation Navy Comet's flashy light and the Vexor's "face"?...

As the icing on the cake from our Art department (many thanks to all the people involved, including the amazing CCP Phor), we would like to let you know that the many cries of despair from Stabber / Vagabond pilots have been heard, and you will also get revamped models as part of the winter deal.

This almost brought a tear to my eye. Thanks CCP!

Frills: check!
Restyling: hmm, it'll grow on me.
Two broken engines: it's Minmatar, alright...

I support this effort and the art department!
