I would have chosen for 2nd place - now that is a really nice ship - make it bigger and it would be a nice carrier

Originally by: Konoch I was hoping that CCP would find the balls to tell DA to **** off with that choice of 15.
At which point DA tells CCP to "**** off" with a lawsuit for breach of contract. Like it or not, the legal contracts (both the official rules, and very likely a deal between CCP and DA to host the contest) state that CCP has to pick the winners from DA's selection of 15 finalists. No matter how much CCP might disagree with the finalists, there's nothing they can do about it.
As for a public statement, it's just not going to happen. Even if CCP are privately angry about this whole trainwreck of a contest (and I suspect quite a few of them are), think of what it says to potential future partners if CCP officially states "our marketing partner is run by a bunch of idiots". I'd rather see future events (hosted by more respectable people though) than an angry letter from CCP, no matter how satisfying it might be in the short term.
And CCP would be able to raise a defense pointing to DA's incompetence. This cost CCP more people than it gained. The pure outrage that was dispensed (and i'm one of them) should have been a sign to CCP that they should have done SOMETHING. If we gotta go dual threads Merin fine. But the fact of the matter is CCP gave this quote 'Rendering very Eve like, grimy/dark as Minmatar ships should be, really good render in the dark cinematic style of EVE.' of an upside down MYRMIDON!!!
I pray Lucas sees the Naru-Kami and presses a lawsuit for copywrite infringement! If CCP were to make noise right now it'd send the message that you'd better get the job done right. Fiascos like THIS just let people walk all over you. I'm utterly disgusted by the result of this contest and i'm just as disgusted by CCP's position. As of right now. This is the message they send.
CCP: Creativity Sucks.
DA: Hahahaha suck it EVE!
I wish they had pressed the lawsuit...

It's actually an awful design and the artist must have been stoned when he designed it.

This Thread.
I like the design, altough there certainly were other designs that floated my boat as well. Still, best of the 15 finalists by a mile.

Not to offend the person who made the ship because I couldnt even make a paper airplane...but there were at least 50 way better looking ships in that contest.
Guess I was hoping to see something new and not always the same odd ball looking ship type.Was hoping for something awesome.Looks like people are inspired by a crumbled up piece of paper,then come up with these ships.
Ill give it one thing though..its eve like.Thats about it though.Nothing new really.Oh well

Wellll, I quite like it tbh,
With that slot layout i'd prefer to see the ship have a shield resist bonus tho, and possibly a larger drone bandwidth, 5 mediums wouldn't be overkill imo. It's a tier 3, so expect stronger drake-like shields and it sounds like it could be an awesome piece of kit revitalizing the role of battleship.

Originally by: Konoch I intend to shoot the tornado on sight. This is a miscarrage of justice and a support of Deivant Art's utter blatant disregard for the rules it laid down. There were far better entries and you know it. I wont cancel an account over this. But i see now that your supposed commitment to delivering a better game is crap. This is a failure of monumental proportions.
You sir, are a failure of monumental proportions.

Congrats to dreamwalker! Even if it does resemble the Myrmidon, it looks better. So you outdid CCP. BAM!
I'm thinking the Minmatar reverse engineered their ally's ship and created a more rugged, utilitarian, reliable version. Its kind of like the AK47 vs the STG44. Similar in outward form, obviously inspired by, but different when you take a look at its guts.

Originally by: Ira Astrum I know what it says on the contest page, I'm just saying that the ship being put ingame isn't listed amongst the winner's rewards :)
They are putting it ingame, that was the whole point of this contest.
Fine, ignore everything I type, that'll be nice and productive.
Originally by: Tippia Boring.
You posted the same sentiment in the other thread too, you obviously have a view on this you want to share, so out with it!
Taken from the top of the winners announcement page:
"So, check the out-of-this-world winners below and catch a glimpse of the deviants who scored tons of stellar loot û including iPads, Wacom tablets, and deviantWear! Pay special attention to the first place ship, because you'll be able to fly it around the EVE Online universe very soon!"

So yeah. It is mentioned on that page.

Edited by: Cazar Imris on 29/10/2010 06:55:12 Out of all the wonderful looking Battlecruisers and Battleships of all races designed, this is what they picked? I'm not saying it's bad, it's not, it's good, it's just that there were a TON on better designs than that, though none of them made it to the finals, which ****ing sucks.

Edited by: Planetary Genocide on 29/10/2010 08:09:08 First off, I want to say congrats to the three winners, especially to Pattern. I (am preparing to be flamed) actually liked the Tornado design quite a bit, but that might have been more the ungodly detail on it than the overall design. My favorite one was the Cyruk Velam (HYPERION REDESIGN PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD), and I would be happy to see either of the other two winners in game as well.
Also, Pattern, you're now obligated to make the other three ships you mentioned in the poster. :P DO IT.
That having been said, WHY THE **** DID THEY NOT LET THE PLAYERS VOTE ON THE ****ING SEMIFINALISTS AND THE OVERALL WINNERS?!?!? We would've avoided the crap that came with that really ****ty LA Battlecruiser design, less people would be *****ing about ZOMG UNORIGINAL UPSIDE DOWN MYRMIDON HAX, and the overall community would feel more involved with the design of the game, instead of leaving it to the (or so I hear) incompetents at DA to choose the semis. I hope that in the next contest the players get to have a vote in at least one portion of the contest, be it semis or final winner. /nerdrage
And perhaps keep it entirely within the forums this time instead of reaching out to twi-tards at DeviantArt ______________

So I looked that ship up and aside from the circle thing on the side they look nothing alike.

I disagree wth you there. First of all, if the tornado is just a myrmidon copy, then most of the ships in the contest are just copies of existing designs(EVE and non-EVE). The ones who didn't take any inspiration from existing EVE designs were justly voted as failures by popular opinion, since they didn't fit in to the EVE universe. So doing something completely original and not inspired by EVE was a failure. If you consider taking inspiration from existing designs copying, than copying loses almost all of the negative connotations it had.
Second, all that work isn't a waste. All designs had some inspiration, but the better ones worked hard to alter those ideas in to their own designs. So the blood, sweat and tears needed to achieve that matters a lot. The LA battlecruiser looked like an simplified ugly catalyst and the tornado looks like a kickass inverted myrmidon with good looking little changes to the model and loads of detailing. The difference between a popular winner and a hated reject to be exact.
Maybe they are both just copies to you, but to me the LABC was a worthless copy not worth a serious consideration and the tornado is an awesome design that takes an existing design, improves upon it, makes it distictly it's own design and does it better than the competition(arguable). Exactly what you needed to do in the contest and much more than simply copying a design.

ZOMG! Huge surprise they chose the Tornado. Was definitely the best of the bunch. Too bad it didn't have better competition though. Would have been great to see what would have been picked if it went up against the Aquilon, Horus, or like the 40+ other fantastic EvE-related ships that never made it into the semi-finals.
Oh well. Still, the Tornado is a fine looking boat.

Dammit, now I have to train Minmatar ships and weapons just to get myself into a Tornado
P.S.: To those discussing slot layout, keep in mind that that was not part of the contest. Even though the Tornado submission icludes a slot layout and role design for all four races, CCP has no obligation to follow up on it. You can be sure that they'll make those decisions themselves.
And technically, they don't even have to make it a battleship hull either...
Signature? What signature? |
