Mattias Kerensky Minmatar The Flying Tigers United Front Alliance	Posted - 2010.12.02 19:55:00 - [1] Ok, someone else may have posted something on this already, or whatever. But I was under the impression that the ship design contest was over and the Tornado Minnie bs won? I attempted to read the rules for the "new" contest and it didn't clear any of my confusion. So now the Tornado will compete with other random entries for player votes? Or did it win and this is a whole other contest? Will we ever see another new ship design in the game, or are CCP just stalling with multiple random contests so they can justify postponing the ships till the next update? Or the next. Or the next. What's going on here? Not meaning this to be a whine, I'm just confused about what CCP is going for here. Any insights?

Destination SkillQueue Are We There Yet	Posted - 2010.12.02 19:58:00 - [3] It's a new contest.
Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2010.12.02 20:07:00 - [4] Its for us eve players and mostly by eve players and voted for by eve players, the number of people showing up would be alot less than DA but at least folks from scrap heap should provide more than enough selection of art and of course there are plenty of graphics artist out there I am quite certain of. Ill be enetering a new ship for the contest just need to get started now.

But I was under the impression that the ship design contest was over and the Tornado Minnie bs won?........What's going on here? Not meaning this to be a whine, I'm just confused about what CCP is going for here. Any insights? You must have missed the uproar on the forums at the end of the last contest. The DA judges picked several ships that were deemed too 'un-eve-like' by the EVE community. (At least, the vocal portion of it, which I was part of). CCP responded by taking the DA winners, and selecting the top 3 from there, the Tornado being the winner of that contest. The creator of the Tornado recieved a pretty substantial prize package, and I THINK that the Tornado is still going to be implemented into the game, because that was in the rules of the DA contest. To appease the EVE community, they also stated that they were going to hold a second contest, run by CCP, and the CCP Art team. This is the new contest we're seeing now. They will pre-screen all entries to ensure that they make the required rules (hopefully with more thoroughness than the DA team), and select a bunch of 'semi-finalists'. The EVE community will then vote on these ships. Out of the top 20 ships as voted by the EVE community, CCP will pick the top 5, one overall winner, and 4 sub-winners. The only thing I find interesting, is that on the contest page, there is no mention of whether or not the ships will be added into the game. From the lack of anything saying either yes or no, I'm going to go with no. ------------------- Originally by: CCP Oveur Guess what I'm wearing.

Also, I noticed there was no mention in the new prize packages about getting the winning designs into eve too, that kinda screws up the whole purpose imho. But, as long as we get the Tornado (and maybe some equivalent Gall/Cald/Amarr new BS) then I'm fine with it.
Helixios Minmatar	Posted - 2010.12.02 21:43:00 - [8] Maybe now ships like mine will get a little more attention. DA judges got distracted by shiny 7th views and didn't pay any heed to good Line Art. :\| Republic Fleet Stalker - Battle Dust Proposal
Kogh Ayon	Posted - 2010.12.03 07:06:00 - [9] Edited by: Kogh Ayon on 03/12/2010 07:07:42 New standard ships always come with a position or class, and a packet distributes one different design for each race. For the contest does not say anything about this I assume it is just an advert for the game,unless they make the new ships navy. But I can't see any a good position for a low-skill required navy ship anymore. Maybe T2-skill-required navy ships?

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2010.12.03 15:37:00 - [11] Originally by: Herzog Wolfhammer Nova Fox call your office. Which one? <o-O> Phalanx Peir says they're almost done with the pelinimaries for a serpentis unique cruiser to counter thier little sansha raiding problem. Foundation Station is running into issues over four caldardi destroyer designs and cant make up thier mind which two to move on with. Ascension Bay says they're almost done getting a bloodraider battleship test bed for the Amarr Navy's Intel agency Liberty Anchorage is on vacation after recently completing the Minmatar Destroyer Blunder I can probably bother them to get the blue prints though not sure if that would be possible to duplicate the duct taped result they procured. I cant visit all four of these stations to get thier projects done by the stated deadlines. Im going to have to pick one. Pre-order your Sisters of ≡v≡ Exploration ship today, Updated 1SEPT10
Nicholas Barker Diabolus Ex Machina The Amazing Onjoi and his Educated Rodents	Posted - 2010.12.03 15:55:00 - [12] Originally by: Helixios Republic Fleet Stalker That looks pretty cool, nice and sleek, and i rarely like asymmetrical ships. Will only look good though if they put the center point right at the front. So it looks like the rear section (with the engines etc) look like they're pushing the front end about.
Boltorano Fourth Circle Total Comfort	Posted - 2010.12.03 16:32:00 - [13] Originally by: Helixios Republic Fleet Stalker Looks like the EVE ship version of Cloud Strife, with the ridiculously large buster sword to boot.
Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2010.12.05 11:50:00 - [14] wonders if anyone is entering the contest seems like lack of enthuasium at the moment. Pre-order your Sisters of ≡v≡ Exploration ship today, Updated 1SEPT10
