Wu Jiaqiu Heretic Army Heretic Nation 53	Posted - 2012.09.26 21:37:00 - [1] - Quote The current Tempest is beautiful ** you. I fell in love with the concept of cheaply thrown together spaceships. The Tempest? That piece of ** looks like some Matar engineers in a hurry, had to cut off a piece of an equally ugly station and stick some guns on it because there was no time for design. And it's perfect. The Stabber seems like the entire core was centered off a structure pillar and I'm fine with that. Why is everyone obsessed with making Minmatars look more futuristic akin to the Amarr or Gallente? The Minmatar is supposed to be the least advanced. The look rugged scrap look goes well with it. The Maelstrom is the most ugliest ship I've ever seen for the Minmatar. In rust I trust.
Khergit Deserters Gallente Federation 132	Posted - 2012.09.26 21:40:00 - [2] - Quote I agree with everything above, except Rupture is the most ugliest Minmatar ship I've ever seen. Keep Minmatar ugly! Everybody knows Min technology is going backwards, not forwards.
Darius Brinn Iberians Iberians. 117	Posted - 2012.09.26 22:17:00 - [3] - Quote [quote=Wu Jiaqi Why is everyone obsessed with making Minmatars look more futuristic akin to the Amarr or Gallente? The Minmatar is supposed to be the least advanced. The look rugged scrap look goes well with it. [/quote] I don't usually argue in terms of taste and aesthetic opinions. However, I have realized that Minmatar hulls are NOT SUBJECTIVE. Compare this, which is FUGLY under any light: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS0s_88UIU8Qcui6TTV7He67zB469OhwSrZwNDcJK_2SeDIF6QZVdt5UeMn With this, which is pure and concentrated win: http://content.eveonline.com/www/newssystem/media/63391/1/stabber_s.jpg And you will conclude two things: -You CAN indeed modernize the Minmatar and at the same time keeping their distinct and unique looks. -You are utterly and terribly wrong. Yes, I know you can't be wrong in your favourite looks for something. But STILL, you are wrong.
Saede Riordan Alexylva Paradox 509	Posted - 2012.09.26 22:23:00 - [4] - Quote Yeah, I quite look the remodels of the Matari hulls, they still look cobbled together, just more solidly so. Torn from grace, gotta find your faith or the devils gonna claim your soul

Sorry man but the rustbucket least advanced argument doesn't really work anymore. Its been generations since the Minmatar rebellion, a time when ships were crudely made and primitive due to resource shortages and lack of skilled personel, that time has long since passed, and the Sebiestor are supposed to be some of the greatest engineers in the cluster, isn't it about time Minmatar ships began to reflect that?

What's that saying? Beauty is in the eye...... Better an ugly scrapheap challenge creation that goes BANG than a symmetrical piece of fine engineering that goes POP. And hey, when was the last time you saw a pretty world champion boxer?

James 315 Experimental Fun Times Corp 2824	Posted - 2012.09.26 22:29:00 - [8] - Quote I agree, keep the Minmatar ships' character. However, if you can make them look like a Nyx, I may change my mind... -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ MinerBumping.com -½-½-½-½-½-½-½-½-½-½ The daily saga of the New Order's quest to conquer all highsec by bumping miners out of range.
Saede Riordan Alexylva Paradox 509	Posted - 2012.09.26 22:33:00 - [9] - Quote I don't really feel this is that much of a departure from existing minmatar designs. They still look very minmatar. Its sort of neo-scrap. tbh, the new direction of the Caldari and Gallente ships has me much more ehhhhhhhh. Torn from grace, gotta find your faith or the devils gonna claim your soul

So you like rust eh! I'm restoring my classic 1969 Pontiac Firebird, you can come over to my place anytime and have as much rust as you want! Bring a bucket or two... I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Titans on fire outside "The Alamo" of NOL-M9. I watched massive Super Capital fleets glitter in the dark near the BKG-Q2 gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... -á Time to die.

Keep Minmatar ugly! Everybody knows Min technology is going backwards, not forwards. It seems to me that minmatar ships should look more Amarr than they do, seeing as how they were once their slaves...
Destru Kaneda CTRL-Q Iron Oxide. 70	Posted - 2012.09.26 23:03:00 - [12] - Quote The new Tempest gives me an erection, so no, ** you. PS: Ruppies are ugly as sin. Music for robots, geeks, hackers, and nerds.** Nerdiest homepage on the internet?

Evei Shard 118	Posted - 2012.09.26 23:46:00 - [15] - Quote Are the Minmatar a race still completely enslaved by the Amarr, or are the a functioning Republic that stands on it's own and is capable of building it's own space stations and stargates? They can maintain a look and feel, but in the sense of Eve lore, the Republic has come a long way. Duct-taped rust heaps are the mark of a group that is desperate and short on resources. The size of the Minmatar Republic in New Eden doesn't really reflect that. Profit favors the prepared
Grumpymunky Super Monkey Tribe of Danger 564	Posted - 2012.09.26 23:49:00 - [16] - Quote Does the new more solid appearance come with an increase in hitpoints? Post with your monkey.
Roll Sizzle Beef Space Mutiny 1089	Posted - 2012.09.26 23:52:00 - [17] - Quote It's really not the new shapes. The new brown base color for civilians is the departure of rust we trust. Needs better skin with textured hull plates layered lovingly over a light frame. They already showed concepts of hull damage showing interior decks. http://youtu.be/-Z0ndjcRiZU?t=9m3s They can use this to show gaps in minmi structures (without it on fire)... (yet)

Jace Errata Lawlz Brawlz 281	Posted - 2012.09.27 00:00:00 - [19] - Quote Several of the old Minnie models have graphical issues that make them look like crap (NOT scrap), plus of course capsuleer iteration+Minmatar improvement should change hulls over time. Stealth OST puns and blatant lies since 2009 Jace Errata on Twitter One day they woke me up so I could live forever It's such a shame the same will never happen to you
stoicfaux 1686	Posted - 2012.09.27 00:02:00 - [20] - Quote Seriously, the sole reason why Minmatar ships are so fast is because they don't get weighed down by being "up to code" or by otherwise having frivolous safety devices. Driving a rust bucket is a palace compared to living under the Amarr. tl;dr - ~~Kids~~Clones nowadays have it so goddamn easy and don't even realize it. You can tell me what is and isn't Truth when you pry the tinfoil from my cold, lifeless head. Feature Request: -áDamnation Ship Codpiece-áfor the NeX store.

Also roleplay reasons aside, all those antennae sticking off the old hulls alias like crazy, I'm glad CCP has abandoned those in the modernized designs, overall the new textures are much smoother looking, well done CCP. I agree it only makes sense, the minmatar no longer have their backs against the wall and it's about time they start producing solid ships after all these years. Least advanced? by what measure? They have designed and built their own T3 ship class let alone titan and super carrier class.
Herping yourDerp Tribal Liberation Force Minmatar Republic 772	Posted - 2012.09.27 01:14:00 - [22] - Quote minmitar ships should be rustier but also needs less resist/base EHP

"But they are not camoflauged" said the RAF pilot , "you'll be seen for miles". "Cool" said the USAF pilot, "hate for them to miss us".

My favorite the 69'. Are you going to put the wingy bits on it? She already has the "wingy bit" on the deck lid. Not the ****** '69 Camaro spoiler that most clueless people put on; the correct Trans-Am wing. ( I cringe at the sight of a First Gen Firebird with Camaro parts on it, especially the '69 Camaro quarter panels on '69 'birds, that's just wrong! ) Any PMD owner or fan will know exactly what I'm referring to...

There was a certain romanticism about the origins of the Minmatar and they fact that their ship building tech was a result of make-do can-do philosophy.
