Just my opinion here...
Atron (http://i.imgur.com/jEICv.jpg)
Imicus (http://i.imgur.com/VlKnO.jpg)
Navitas (http://i.imgur.com/xF0i5.jpg)
Celestis (Gallente focus on organic shapes, the brutix and hyperion are good balances of that - this is not)
Exequror (Another poor example of organic mixed poorly with mechancial, mostly just tacked on engines)
Dominix (I've always viewed this ship as flying cancer)
Iteron (Never liked the way this ship looked)
Opus Luxury Yacht (Blech)
Tormentor (Too much like the inquisitor)
Crucifier (http://i.imgur.com/019zE.jpg)
Armaggedon (Nothing wrong with this ship but it could use a modernization)
Bestower
Griffin (Doesn't 'pop' Caldari style)
Bantam (Too blocky for Caldari style)
Moa (Sickening)
Burst (Flying armor plating?)
Slasher (Good design but could use some modernization)
Scythe (Looks a little odd by comparison of other Minmatar styles)
Rupture (Same as above)
Typhoon (DRASTIC change in style from other Minmatar designs)
Hoarder (Flying block with solar panels) |

Will forever see the Typhoon as a fleshlight now. Originally thought of it as a vacuum cleaner attachment. |

My entire issue with the Dominix is that, from a manufacturing standpoint, it just seems like so much time/effort to have that many unnecessary curvatures. I mean - think about what you have to do in order to make that shape.
A.) You have to super heat the metal so that it's malleable and then bend it to that position.
B.) You have to make a mold of that shape with which the metals are formed.
Just seems like a lot of unnecessary work by comparison to, say, the Megathron which has mostly flat surfaces. I get that Gallente go for an organic feel and honestly I like it, but the Dominix (and the Celestis) just look fracking bizarre compared to everything else.
Duvolle Labs making the Nemesis look as sick as it does makes sense.
Roden coming up with the Enyo? Hell yeah.
So it makes absolutely no sense to me that both of these companies would manufacture models of the Celestis in the way that they do as bizarre of a hull that it is.
Creodrone... yeah, I get that much.. Helios/Sin... Just makes sense that they'd do some off the wall **** like that... |

mostly all ships atm need a little love
I love what you guys did with the Stealth bombers("same hull" completely different loooking ship.) which makes it looks like the t2 ship is an UPGRADE of the t1 hull and not just some cheap reskin.
i believe all t2 ships need an upgraded look from their t1 counter part to make it appear it's actually an upgraded ship.
I also believe there are a few plain hulls that need some extra love( the most obvious moa.)
comparing the designs of the ships with the older and newer, the newer ships don't fit in with the older. they stick out.
Also, if you're going to add the npc logos on the ships, add them to the rest.
Probably going to be more subtle differences rather than drastic ones like we saw with the Stealth Bombers.
Reason I say this is because most T2 variants only have the most remote of changes. The new Tempest/Vargur model for instance having different solar panels, the new Stabber/Vagabond with the Vagabond actually -having- solar panels.
Shame really. Wouldn't mind the Kronos looking a bit more sinister than it's Megathron counterpart. |
