Seems that CCP listened when we begged for the Vaga to get its ears back!
Vagabond...rebuilt!
The new Dev blog has some great details on the changes coming in the winter as well. Go have a look here

Holy crap. Should CCP
Give the Vagabond an additional 10% agility bonus per HAC level. Give the Vagabond an additional 5% optimal agility bonus per HAC level.
it would still be LESS of a buff than this wondrous and incredible graphical revamp.
I have Minnie cruiser V. I have HACs V. I never bought a Vagabond.
This changes the day I see this thing on the market.
CCP, give the designer a raise, then chain him/her to his/desk and don't unlock him/her until all the Minmatar hulls (except the Hound) have received the same amount of love and care. |

The new Stabber/Vagabond models look great. I'm completely for this sleeker Minmatar look (Tornado, Hound, Reaper), duct tape/rust comments be damned. Minmatar ships should feel Minmatar because of the design philosophy behind the ships, not because they look like ****. The Stabber/Vagabond is sharp, fast, it's engines are an overwhelmingly large portion of the ship -- that's Minmatar.
Also, I'm curious as to where the T1 cruisers will be headed between now and Winter. I've flown the Stabber quite a bit, but a gorgeous new model and potentially better ship (thanks to the balancing) might just make me want to have some fun in it again. |

It is bad enough they took the lazy way out with the Merlin instead of fixing the problem.
I don't want to see the Moa go down that road. I want it to be a ship that is primarily used with Rail Guns as intended and Deadly with them as it should be.
If that means tweaking medium LR weapon balance then so be it. There aren't any current T1 Cruisers that use LR weapons effectively and that should be looked into. |

the problem with medium long-range turrets is that their range and tracking is about the same as short-range large turrets. good luck fiddling around with medium rails when the next best abaddon or tornado comes along.

I might actually fly that.
I really didn't like the Stabber or Vagabond as they are, or were. I also din't like mounting guns on them, because they are twice the size of the ship.. okay, maybe a little less than half the size individually. It also doesn't seem to matter which guns; small or medium they all look the same.
A better hull will be nice though.
For some reason, I think of mud-green paisleys every time I think of the Stabber. I have deleted and cleared my signature 7 times and it still won't go away. |

It shows.
It shows that you are a condescending clown, or maybe it means that, for you, the word "context" would be as comprehensible if written in Klingon.
I was merely stating, in a light tone, that I like the new proposed hull looks so much that I'd rather have them than absurd sets of additional bonus.
I was not quoting the exact bonus of the Vagabond, or proposing sets of bonus that would go well with the current ones, but just random and unconnected buffs to state how beautiful it's going to look. Which is what everybody with a living brain cell understood.
Thank you very much.
Also, I can see you are a dedicated Vagabond pilot. I absolutely love your scanning Vagabonds. Specially your scanning NANO Vagabonds that get caught by Battleships. Those BS's must have been packing a helluva lot of SeBos, right? Or was it the Command ship?
Most probably you were busy looking down your nose at people while you forgot to warp.

I beg your pardon.
Back on track, I like A LOT how CCP managed to convey both the utilitary and "barebones" Minmatar style with new textures and new design concepts & trends. The ship does look QUITE Minmatar, but at the same time looks shiny, solid and well built, unline the current model.
They could renew all the Minmatar line with this kind of approach and I would be very happy indeed.
The best thing is how CCP designers manage to avoid overlapping styles between races. Each race retains their own flavor through all graphic overhauls.
I love the new Hound and I love the new Stabber/Vagabond hull. I wish they did the Cyclone next.

It seems as though the design ethic apparent in the new Vagabond is being carried over to the re-design of another Minmatar classic, namely the Tempest.
Bare in mind these are incomplete models at this time and are not fully rendered. They do however look sexy as hell.

That's the point. The Tempest will no longer resemble prefab modules bolted together with engines in the back. It'll join it's big brother, the Maelstrom, in looking like a warship.
The Typhoon? Leave it be.
Edit: Scratch that. Give the Typhoon panels like the Tempest has, one for every side of the ship. Mount them perpendicular to the surface.

It made sense that when the Minmatar escaped slavery they built ships in a quick and dirty style, often recycling or repurposing components from other technologies or using bare gantry structures. Anything to get the job done quickly and get those ships into space for defence against the long established Amarr technological advantage.
It also makes sense that with time, Minmatar ship builders have been starting to develop more sophisticated and refined ship designs. With the more recently designed Tornado, and the redesigns of the Reaper, Hound, Vagabond and now the Tempest these Minmatar ship builders are maintaining the design principles and cultural styling of their ships, but taking advantage of more advanced fabrication methods. |

Typhoon is the only Minnie BS that actually looks like a BS rather than something you might see off the Isle of Wight during Cowes Week.

There are a lot of Minnie pilots here that seem to want 'sleek' and 'updated' Minmatar ships for some reason. Last time I checked, being Minmatar means duct taping fractures in your hull and having as much control over your 'ship' as being tied to a wheel chair rolling down flights of stairs, shooting a couple of sub machine guns while screaming.
The new vaga is alright, but the current hull is much more Minmatar. Last time I checked frill/ears were a luxury the republic just couldn't afford. Surprised they had them in the first place.
For everyone that wants to turn Minmatar ships into some kind of high tech caldari hull that has no rust on it. Shame on you. |

It's ok guys, they can make all ships look better and less rusty because of all the FW isk in the minmatar economy :P
On a serious note, I like it. It's a modernisation and a welcome one. |

Honestly, the new Vagabond looks fine. It's AMAZING when you compare it to the horrible piece of crap it was before.
The best thing is that CCP's art team CAN give the Minmatar new and improved looks, while at the same time being still clearly recognizable as Minmatar hulls & style.
The new Vagabond is great, and it's 100% Minmatar. It's not Gallente, Amarr or Caldari. It's Minmatar, and looks good. Just like the new Hound. Best looking bomber now.
So it's possible. And all Minmatar ships should get the same treatment because of this.
The new Vagabond looks so much better than the old one, that it's become OBJECTIVELY better. Taste of players is irrelevant at this point. It IS better, and there is NO possible argument fueled by misplaced nostalgia.
