Semi-finalists are posted, and it's an absolute disaster. We have near-unanimous agreement (both in the deviantart comments and on the EVE forums) that the judges are utterly incompetent, the vast majority of the semi-finalists are either terrible and/or have nothing to do with EVE, and many excellent (and community-favored) submissions were ignored.
Unfortunately, there is one simple cause for this: deviantart sucks.
So, CCP should do three things:
1) Re-judge the entire contest. Throw out the opinions of the deviantart judges, and have judges from CCP select a new set of 15 semi-finalists as well as the three winners (out of the CCP-chosen 15).
2) Never have anything to do with deviantart again, preferably with a public statement of this fact. The community is not amused, take the hint.
3) Run the contest again, on a more respectable CG art site (and allow re-entry of ships from the current contest). This is win/win, people who got screwed by deviantart get a second chance, and we all get to see a much higher level of quality. -----------

I could really rant, but the bottom line is the site that hosted this contest is not worth me speaking of.

Well I had a joke in the other thread, but no disrespect to anyone who submitted work to this contest, semi finalist or not. However there were some odd choices there I felt.

Cross-posting from Eve general:
CCP: I beg of you, take a look at the most popular entries: Ask yourself how they could choose this over this????? This one was extremely popular, and it didn't even get mentioned.... Minnie pilots were going nuts over this.
Or this (a flying frisbee????) over this? (Also extremely popular wth Gallente fans)
Or this (a Jovian ship, that we can't even use, made the semi-finals????) over this??? This one was almost as popular as the Tornado above by Caldari pilots.
Or this (honestly, WTF?) over this??? (Amarr Pilots were going nuts over this)
What the hell happened there? Of those finalists, maybe one (barely) or two (the only decent eve-like semi-finalist) fit into the eve universe, but only barely.
I mean, what the hell is this or this?????
This crap is an insult to eve.

Maybe ONE of those entries deserved to be a SEMI-finalist, at most. ______________________________

damned if they do, damned if they don't.
i'm quite disappointed. there were some seriously awesome designs, and, i thought, even if i don't win, we'll get quality visuals. it just didn't happen. i understand that not everyone can be pleased, but deviantart judges just scored so low. ________________________________ : Forum Bore 'Em : Foamy The Squirrel - [jedi handwave] "There is no spoon." |

Agreed. We need to draw CCP's attention to this, as there's still time to re-judge all the entries. Come on CCP, show us that you care! Screw any contract you have with dA and judge the entries yourselves. We won't mind if it takes a year or more to finally see a "Good" ship in game.

I can not seriously f**king believe it.
I have been following the ship design contest almost from the start, and seen the skill and dedication that some guys have put through this competition and you go and select a load of sh*t?
I mean, how on earth does The LA Battlesh*te get in, but The Tornado does not?
Fully agree with OP.

**** devfailant art, there was so many better ships out there ffs. That stratholm caldari BS was perfect, just perfect. This contest is crap. The only thing I could see remotely winning is that little minmatar ship because CCP wouldn't even have to do anything to it. It's like the contest was rigged not to pick the best looking, but the easiest for CCP to manage.
Complete. Crap.

Naru-Kami, Cyruk Velam, The Gatekeeper deserve to be semi-finalists. A few others were good, but not solid shoe-ins considering other designs that were overlooked.
And what ****ing ****es me off...
Half are borderline copyright infringement (of pre-existing eve ships) and one is digital spit in the face of everyone who worked hard to create a solid entry for this contest.

I don't see how CCP can suddenly just change the rules in the middle of the competition, so let them choose the winners from the finalists like the rules state. We also had loads of great contestants, so I see the rules being the bigger issue than letting DA host it. The process of deciding winners was poor, not the designs. So I'll not support points 1 or 2.
I'm in full agreement though, that CCP shouldn't let those good designs slip through their fingers. Either do another competition with different selection process or pick extra designs form the contestants that didn't make it to the finals. There were some true gems there and they actually looked like EVE ships.

I support a re judging by CCP themselves. Theirs is an opinion I atleast trust.
Most of the ships that were selected for semi-finalist do not even look like eve ships. I would atleast expect the judges to select something that would fit within the universe.
I worked hard to make my own submission follow the design specs that you often find in caldari ships for instance. I never expected to be selected as a semi-finalist. but atleast with CCP's own textures and modellers it would atleast look like it was designed by the caldari.
I truly hope CCP will do the right thing and judge the contest themselves.

Agreed.
It looks like the "judges" were lazy, and picked only entries submitted near the end of the contest...(This is the only entry from September)
