CCP is doing a great job going over and rebalancing ships lately, and many things are getting a new makeover! But what are some vessels that you think could use a bit of a brush-up?
In my personal opinion, the Impel needs to be revisited. The Bestower hull is awesome for a hauler, but what's with the American guts-n-glory chopper exhaust pipes? I giggle every time I see them. One of the more comical ships, imo. Surely there can be a more creative addition to the vessel that still differentiates it from the hum-drum Bestower. :) |

Minmatar I can't say for sure I like most of their ships but would not mind touch ups. Harbinger turret if that is still an issue, the Aeon and Apocalypse.
On a small scale I would like the Raven to get a little bit more wing on the stubby side, besides that it is a great ship. The Dominix is two centuries old and its do all design of Drones, Guns, EWAR is the kind of ship a smaller starting empire would game out as their first big Battleship instead of single valuable rolls. It looks like it was used to carry troops as well. It reminds me a lot of a Battlestar. I hope if the redesign it they will keep its age and multipurpose design in mind.
The Aeon does look weird, the Apocalypse looks very cool to me, but I suppose some of the design could be touched up with regards to how angular it can be (maybe), but I've actually never really liked the Harbinger's look. I mean yeah, it looks kinda mean, but it doesn't exactly look Amarrian. It's the one that never lined up. Wings and lots of odd cylinders on a fat and pretty awesome head/body.
The Prophecy is still a fat golden Chicken, so it could get a little sleeker, but I wouldn't change much else about it. I love its bird of prey look.
Can't speak to the Dominix much, but I doubt it can get much better than the good old pimped domi. :) |

The omen is beautiful! <3 |

Alright, add the Bellicose/Huginn to this list. I don't think I even need to explain. Just....

Crucifier :)
I'm really happy with the treatment the Maller received at some point (I forget when, but it used to be one ugly mother). The Damnation, with its black color, is almost good enough to take my spot for "sexiest ship in the game" even without being slimmed down. But if that Prophecy hull wasn't so fat, good god, what a beauty that Damnation would be <3 |

I agree with this and, oddly enough, I am of the opinion that there should be larger stations. I mean when was the last time you actually felt like Jita 4-4 was big enough to be the trade hub it seems? Shouldn't there be a feeling of awe you get as you warp up to it? How do all those ships fit on the undock? (Hint: They don't! :P)
A new, improved, much larger Jita 4-4 would make a lot of sense and add a ton of flavor. Trade hub stations ought to have grown in size more. :) So say in Rens, Dodixie, and Amarr maybe too. That Emperor Family Academy sure is used for a lot more than schooling, yet it remains one of the smaller Amarr stations. |

Right, okay, so I'm not 100% in favor of any major overhauls/complete redesigns of many ships, which is why the topic asks about "Touch-ups" particularly, however, some of the minmatar ships I believe could do with a remodelling.
There are definitely some great-looking ships that also look rag-tag and not really high-tech. I get that Minnie is supposed to be like that, and that's awesome. But just because it's rag-tag or on limited resources doesn't mean the vessel had to have been designed by a complete idiot engineer. The Minmatar are brilliant at adapting on limited resources -- some of the best engineers around have to come from there now, right? So, honestly, how did the Bellicose happen? That thing is like my little brother's structurally unsound Lego creations that can snap with a wee little jab at it. |

Oh, I didn't think about that. Yeah, it hasn't been touched in a long time, has it? I'm not sure. |

Minmatar ships were supposed to look like some insurgents taped them together from debris - now they look more slick and hightech than any other race.
That was in the past. In the present the Minmatar race is the supreme race. We have the technology. We have the weapons. We have the ships. :) But, seriously, it is about time that Minmatar start updating their ship designs. They aren't 'some insurgents' anymore.
Agreed. They're a Republic. Fledgling still maybe, but they're getting their story together. In Rust We Trust may still be the motto, but the rust should be getting a little more polished by this point maybe. :) |

and no! dont touch my pretty Rokh! :3
Why would people have anything against the Rokh? :o
I think the one consensus is that the Omen need not be touched. And the Rifter. God, that sexy rifter. And anything that looks rusty or asymmetrical is up for grabs. :P Not an ideal "brush-up" pool exactly. |
