I've got a few questions for the devs. since CCP is remodelling it would be nice to know what is clear. If CCP Spitfire could also update in regards to this suggestion, it also contributes to this thread:
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1528448&page=1#1
easier to list:
- Are all models being revamped including the capitals?
- Are these new models going to allow alliance logos, or corporate/gang logos on the hulls?
- When the new ship models release will they die and wreck in glory?
- Are all new ship models, including capitals going to be rescaled to a proper size? (e.g. Wyvern is tiny.)
- Following the new line of models, is there planned optin cosmetics? Engine trials, hull reskins etc.
- Do we get new station models too (future vision)? If so, dedicated trade hubs with multi dock ports?
- Will the new models support missile turrets?
- Tornado update? and the rest of the T3 finish(ing) screenshots?
Thanks much. and Spitfire if it was disregarded, no grudges.

Can answer some..
Missile "hardpoints" are coming, with a fixed point in models (Drake, hurricane, kestrel, etc) or with a turret model we do not know yet.
Engine trails are coming back.
Corporate logos might make it, alliance logos however, highly unlikely (Corp logos are made using in-game assets, alliance logos are not) Sometimes the only difference between a budding genius and a blooming idiot is where they chose to take a stand. |

I highly doubt all models are being revamped aside from whatever they need to do to make corp logo's work on them. Particularly capitals since most of the capitals are actually pretty decent looking.
At the rate they are going it will be 1 remodel per expansion. If they put a little more effort into it maybe 2 or 3. Caldari ships are the most hurting in the looks department so expect to see more remodels along the line of the scorpion. Raven is supposedly already being worked on. Bantam, Griffin, Blackbird, Moa are all desperately in need of a remodel. Obviously a few other races ships could use some help too but none are as bad as those 4 imo. |

These things where allready planned before "the rage" so there should not be a problem regarding these things.
The remodelling of the ships won't necessarily be the goal though, some ships will be remodelled while others just get a new skin to be compatible with the new shaders and thingymebobs that are required for the ship-paints.
As far as we know ALL the remodels done (Scorpion, Maller, Punisher) have been by one dev in his free time, he also did a raven in his free time but that was not approved by CCP for release.
If CCP decides to give this man time and/or a team to actually model new ships (like the tornado or the other contest winner(s)) ships I think thats more important. But it would be great if they find the time to remodel some ships, like the raven, I myself wouldn't like to see the apoc or the armageddon remodelled but then again I haven't seen their ideas regarding this.
In any case they have a wealth of ideas and possiblities to expand on their current ships and skins, the IP is full of ships, even other pirate ships in the game that where never implemented for use by player like the IXION and offcourse the Tech III (frigates, battlescruisers, battleships). An (eventual) range of all tech III ships would be awesome up to a dread even! (just remember not to get it blown up cause your likely to lose the skills to fly it)
EDIT: BTW something to remember, even in beta in 2002 you where able to add the corp logo to your ships. - [img]http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/janus/ceosig.jpg[/img] [yellow]English only please. Zymurgist[/yellow] |

thanks for clearing a couple things up.
Capitals do need a reskin. They look ok the way they are, but with the new technique ccp is using to skin ships the capitals would look way better imho. [img]http://www.imgbox.de/users/S7AR/star.png[/img] |

Hyperion redesign pls. Maybe this one but with a different paintjob. http://th09.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2010/284/d/7/hyperion_mk_ii_by_surlybadger42-d30jfvw.jpg This one actually looks like it's supposed to MWD up in your face and let loose. The hyp-model we have now looks like a scaled down ragnarok GÇô it does NOT look like something that's supposed to chase you down, with web and blasters. |

That rogue dev should be given free reign to redesign ships as part of the promised resource reshuffling. 84,000 AUR ($420) spent on NeX store for Troll and Profit. |

1. Yes all ships are getting redone, to what extent is unkonw, but its to be compliant to new new shading technique introduced with tech 3 ships. Every ship that goes though the revision can be easily recolored by the graphics engine thus its models can be available on the NEX when they finally fix it.
2 Allaince/Corproate Logos where considered but dropped due to thier small size, its on the table still though and possible.
3. There has been no further updates regarding this that I am aware of hopefully a dev can get that one answered.
4. This has been an ongoing issue to be blamed from camera behaviors to actual model sizes.
5. Answered partially in 1, Engine trails are all comming back, engine exhausts are however interesting but I dont think you seperate the types of thrusts from the ship.
6. There are currently no plans made public about this.
7. This is on the chopping block and being mulled over, the two biggest hurdels is redesigning several of the ships that have built in launchers that are overly reliant on that structure for its shape (ie Rifter is one example) where as the drake can be unphased by the remodel. Second biggest hurdle facing the missile launchers are the the fact the missiles are spawning in the center of the sphere of the ship to prevent some very akward phsyics from happening, there is really no way to get the missile to come out of a turret at the moment, extensive coding efforts with technical artist will have to be made.

Naw, the Caladri and Ammarr had their turn, and the Minmatar are getting a whole new Hull, let's show Gallente some love. The Dominix is pretty ugly, and my favorite ship, so I vote we start there. She needs more than a reskin, that's for sure. |
