DigitalCommunist	Posted - 2005.06.24 17:20:00 - [1] I can't quite grasp why CCP's art team would take the Dominix model (oldest warship in circulation, and arguably one of the ugliest battleships in the game), the Opux Luxury Yacht (a ship that embodies prancing and pampering), and the Brutix (quite possibly the worst BC) and combine these three blobular hulls to create the Gallente Dreadnaught. Sorry. That thing doesn't inspire fear. It inspires feelings of shame, and loathing for its obese curvature. It makes me want to go Grouper fishing just to murder something in nature with that level of uglyness. If it were up to me, which it painfully isn't, I'd have the Gallente Dread model base itself off the sleeker designs of the Megathron, or Thorax. Maybe even something super-funky like a Tristan, because this lump-o-crap design is really starting to annoy. Why does this make perfect sense? Megathron and Thorax are kings of damage for their class, and to make its most devastating cousin look like something more suited to act as a carrier? Huk. :/ PS: I know about the lack of textures. Don't care. _____________________________________ Perpetually driven, your end is our beginning. "Can I be a consultant for EVE II?" - WhiteDwarf

Ithildin	Posted - 2005.06.24 22:55:00 - [11] Yes, less Dominix more Megathron, please! Just imagine what'd happen if you made a cross between Megathron and Gallente Shuttle! Scratch that, just blow the Gallente Shuttle up to 300 times size and change it's texture and you'll have a beautiful assault ship.

I appologize for that mistake. I knew the Gallente Dread had messed up Gfx, but it has been brought to my attention that these were extracted from the client, which is not allowed. The gallente Dread was paraded on Sisi today, weren't those screenshots taken on the test server?
keepiru	Posted - 2005.06.24 23:06:00 - [13] regardless of texture and/or origin of images, it looks like cow excrement. dung. a coprolite in space. NOT GOOD. ------------- Originally by: Gnauton It was purely accidental. We really don't have a sense of humour at all.
danneh	Posted - 2005.06.24 23:30:00 - [14] i like it >_>
true sight	Posted - 2005.06.24 23:32:00 - [15] I hate to agree but... I do, After seeing the amarr one (which looks like it has a witches nose), I think the Minmatar Dread looks the coolest from the three I've seen (havent seen caldari yet) but the Gallente looks like a huge ugly blob. over the last 2 years, I've grown to appreciate the Dominix, but both the Destroyer and Battlecruiser dont follow Gallente Fashion, and now, neither does the Dreadnaught. Gallente design is sleek... sexy, smooth and symetrical, the most symetrical ships of all of the 4 main races (amarr a close second) the Destroyer is a single wing, the Brutix is an ugly frumpy looking ship, the Freighter is an american refridgerator, and now the dreadnaught looks like an over-weight bulk Please oh please Mr Art Department, please give us gallente our sleek and sexy designs back
Linavin	Posted - 2005.06.25 00:15:00 - [16] Edited by: Linavin on 25/06/2005 00:16:27 Edited by: Linavin on 25/06/2005 00:15:25 I personally had a laughing fit when I saw the screens. I agree that the gallent capital ships should stick to the sleek designs similar to the thorax, mega, and incusus and less the bloby like the dominix. Something slighly more similar in style to the gallente Titan But overall for the dreds, I actually like the Minnie one the best so far.
Seiryu	Posted - 2005.06.25 00:16:00 - [17] I like the amarr one. It looks a lot better than the other 2 combined. I want to see the caldari one though. ----True bravery is not lacking fear, but confronting it.---- "Name: Seiryu Score: 52 Status: textbook example Judge notes: Time is never on our side.

Branmuffin	Posted - 2005.06.25 01:32:00 - [18] It could be a lot better. They should add projections like the megathron has on its twin hulls in strategic locations to make it look sharp and intimidating.

Noriath	Posted - 2005.06.25 02:52:00 - [21] I like the Gallante dread. The shape is a bit odd, but when I picture it with a Texture like the Brutix it's sweet.
Krulla	Posted - 2005.06.25 03:09:00 - [22] Edited by: Krulla on 25/06/2005 03:13:37 Edited by: Krulla on 25/06/2005 03:09:08 So far I love the Amarr and Minnie ones, but I can't really judge the gallentean one. It doesn't look too bad, though it's hard to judge with that messed up texture. I am hopelessly in love with the minnie one. It has, arguably, the greatest name of any ship in the game (Naglfar in nordic mythology. In short, it's the ship that will herald Ragnar÷k), and the fact that it looks so damn sinister make it just.. loveable. I'm also not sure what is more scary, the ship that heralds certain impending doom or a ship that packs 4000ish millimeter howitzers.
Luc Boye	Posted - 2005.06.25 05:17:00 - [23] agreed. gal dread is just f-ugly. enough with the "turd" theme already! -- 2004.12.29 23:33:40combatMining Pollution Cloud hits you, doing 140.0 damage.

Harlequin01	Posted - 2005.06.25 07:55:00 - [26] I think the min one looks special, the gal and amarr ones,,, wtf? The worst thing is the amarr freighter kicks ass! make that the dreadnaught and just scrap the new one, it looks ****.
Selim	Posted - 2005.06.25 08:41:00 - [27] I kinda like the amarr one. The gallente and to a lesser extent the minnie ones are crap though. Gallente one was described quite eloquently by DC... the minnie one looks like a slice of tree bark.
Mr Floppyknickers	Posted - 2005.06.25 08:52:00 - [28] I actually like the Amaar dread and the mimmi as well. But the G dread ::shudder:: horrible. True we've not seen the correct textures, but those textures will not change the shape, and the shape is bad. A spaceship banana split with guns, delicious! Reminds me of that rump ugly ship the Celestis. That ship looks like a someone was drunk and fiddling with clay while starring at a fruit bowl. As for freighters, I actually do like the G one... kinda. Resembles a trendy flying office block or 50's era refrigerator but hardly sticks to standard G design conventions. Admittedly the G one has a charm about it, however; G ships are not sooo flying brick-ish. They should be long, sleek, and slightly non-symetical. And if not long, then thin and vertical like the vexor. Hell, even our industrials follow this design principal. The Amarr and Caldari frieghters look very nice though and truth be told the freighters all (save the mimmi dread which looks great!) look to be better dread candidates than the dreads themselves. The only one that's a real toss-up is the Amarr ship dread and freighter as both look fantastic. I'd actually be happier if the G dreadie looked like the freighter more, at least it has a nostalgic style as opposed to the Dread's ice cream sunday theme. And if it were fitted with big turrents it would far better carry the image of a station killer than the current love boat tourist ship that is at large. If the current design stays, ah well so be it. I'll accept it, but please I beg of you, do a far better job on the G carrier. We rule the land of drones. It is a dark and dangerous place so please give us a ship that reflects the true nature of that. Something textures depiciting open bay doors protected by glowing energy fields (thouroughly star warsy) and a wider, longer, slightly off center, and more G look. This is also your chance to make-up for that asthetic abomination,the Domi. The Domi could've looked so much better, the back end is quite pleasing, but the brain tumor front.... what went wrong there? So much promise, but alas I still wan t one of the big brutes to support my drone fetish. Anyway, please don't give us a similar style in the carrier.
locus 777	Posted - 2005.06.25 09:37:00 - [29] the amarr i think has some style, the mini, well its mini , the gallente, by god its ugly. reminds me of arnold schwarzeneger - a condom stuffed with walnuts please, please, please get rid of it
Sangxianc	Posted - 2005.06.25 09:45:00 - [30] I think the Gallente one looks ok :S - Any man's death diminishes me, as I am involved in mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
Grimwalius d'Antan	Posted - 2005.06.25 09:46:00 - [31] Actually, it makes perfect sense that the Dreadnought looks alot like the Dominix, they are of the same era (Caldari-Gallente War). Just take a look at the vessels described as "old" in the list of Gallente ships. The Velator and Dominix have brown colors and... molded shapes. The Dreadnought and the Titan are both old ships, they should not have the "new" sleek and shiny design that modern Gallente vessels have. I can't wait to see proper texturing for this thing, the model is quite interesting and consistent with EVE history.
fairimear	Posted - 2005.06.25 11:16:00 - [32] fugly. it's massively fugly. looks like a giant slug crossed with space whale. the thorax and new amarr freighter and the revelation are by far the best ships ingame now to look at. Even the brutix looks more sleak that that thing. (\_/) (O.o) (> <) This is Bunny. Copy Bunny into your signature to help him on his way to world Domination.
keepiru	Posted - 2005.06.25 11:55:00 - [33] yup. it goes past fugly and into kitch and then into so-fugly-its-cool and then wraps round back to fugly (but in a spiral) and keeps wrapping around and spiralling towards the dark centre, the abyss that stares back, the "ayyeeeee" fuglyness of having your cat drop a***roach on your lap. and other mind-scarringly fugly things. It is the one ship that i wont mind seeing ganked to death by ebil pieawts. it'll probably win lots of battles simply because it will cause uncontrollable retching to most other pilots when you warp in ------------- Originally by:** Gnauton It was purely accidental. We really don't have a sense of humour at all.
Gungankllr	Posted - 2005.06.25 12:07:00 - [34] I'm sure the graphic artist put a lot of time into the model for that. I wish I had recommendations on what would make it better, but I'm a total gomer when it comes to 3d art/Maya. www.hadean.org
Antic	Posted - 2005.06.25 12:12:00 - [35] i actually liked the gallente dread :) Think proper textures will do a lot for giving the model more depth.
Andarias	Posted - 2005.06.25 14:52:00 - [36] I think an interesting design for the gallente dreadnought would be a central eye structure, with 3 arms extending forward, each arm ending in a turret. Make it green and biological looking.
Tragar	Posted - 2005.06.25 14:58:00 - [37] cares what it looks like? as long as it kills mofos tis k with me :o
Nez Perces	Posted - 2005.06.25 15:03:00 - [38] Can't help but agree with Digi, in fact i'd extend what he is saying to all the dreadnoughts, they are pig ugly and we deserve better !!!!
Krulla	Posted - 2005.06.25 15:07:00 - [39] It may be just me.. but.. I love the gallente dread. It's big. It's not pretty. It's got railguns that fire projectiles the size of automobiles. It kills stuff. It's a freakin' warship. It's ugly, but it's cool, and it looks the part.
Malacore	Posted - 2005.06.25 15:09:00 - [40] I actually like the Amarr one, and the Minnie one. I refuse to pass judgement on a ship that isn't finished. I would very much enjoy to see the people that are complaining so much about how they are "pig ugly" to offer a better alternative. The Revelation is very pleasing to the eye, the Naglfar is somewhat reminiscent of the Pride of Hiigara, and while there may be the possibility that it could've been skinned better I love the general shape/style of it.
MAcheTT3	Posted - 2005.06.25 15:27:00 - [41] It looks aweful, truly aweful and I'm glad someone posted this thread. Reminds me of a giant slug.
Nez Perces	Posted - 2005.06.25 15:28:00 - [42] Edited by: Nez Perces on 25/06/2005 15:32:47 One of the things that attracts me to eve is the beautiful ship designs, teh fact that every faction has distinct design features both in colour tones and in shapes used. Amarr - sleek, aerodynamic and shell-like in form, golden tones all round stunners usually >>>>> Amarr dreadnought, has a Quiff and is proportionally not in synch with the other ship classes. Gallente - organic shapes, sleek is still the name of the game, but less so, the front of the ship is usually very distiguishable from the rear end, green organic tones >>>>> Gallente Dreadnought, amourphous blob with no clear lines .. Minmatar - cluttered shapes, dark rusty tones, usually the least sleek ship designs but still imposing and have a sinister/imposing design criteria >>> Minmatar Dreadnought is aligned to the vertical axis, why? no other ship in the game has that characteristic, its proportions do not fit with any other minmatar ship ..... I guess I feel strongly about this.. im sorry.... I just love the ship designs in EVE they are the best designs I have seen in any game. I just see the latest designs for the dreadnoughts as a departure from that.....
sableye	Posted - 2005.06.25 15:46:00 - [43] I can't really judge the ship, with its current texture I can't really make much of anything out, but from what it seems you have a pic we have'nt seen so if you feel like eve-mailing me the link
Branmuffin	Posted - 2005.06.25 16:51:00 - [44] Just add some bladelike portrusions like the Megathron has at the tip of its prongs and you could easily alleviette most complaints.
Zack Branagan	Posted - 2005.06.25 16:56:00 - [45] I like it cause it looks like my ship from Futurama!
sableye	Posted - 2005.06.25 17:00:00 - [46] Originally by: Zack Branagan I like it cause it looks like my ship from Futurama! you now that funnt being a futurama fan myself I was thinking the same thing.
piercer	Posted - 2005.06.25 17:04:00 - [47] Gallente Dreadnought = untextured heap of...... yeah you get the idea. I would love to see it more streamline (like the thorax, long) and maybe have a nice dark paintjob like the navy mega or that pirate faction one. Minmatar Dreadnought = control tower, nuff said. Amarr Dreadnought = mmmm...... sexy
Chaff	Posted - 2005.06.25 19:34:00 - [48] Actually I'd say that each race has more than one distinctive look, I'll use Gallente as an example here since that is what the topic is about. There are three main types in my mind, and then cross variations for some ships. 1: sleek, agressive lines: Thorax, Megathron, Incursus. 2: retro, vintage lines: Exequeror, Freighter(love it) 3: bulky, are those lines?: Imicus, Dominix There is more to it in the design philosophy obviously, I've never thought about it too much tbh. Vexor, Celestis, Brutix are crossovers in design in my mind. The Tristan and Maulus have some classic Gallente design traits (the tri-linear viewport, and the sweet protrusions of armor and engines), but don't fall into another category really. Personally, for a dreadnought, I'd want to see either the sleek design ideal, or go all out with the Gallente traits seen in the Tristan and Maulus.... yes, I know there is a big size difference
Lucian Alucard	Posted - 2005.06.25 19:49:00 - [49] Honestly since i was told they were doing dreads I prayed for a 3 boom megathron but bigger and with a dark blue black paint scheme similar to the Khanid ships (which imo next to the megathron are the sexiest ships in Eve,Malediction is without a doubt the best looking Inty) undisputed lord of the forums Im older then I look
Grimwalius d'Antan	Posted - 2005.06.25 22:43:00 - [50] I say again, it would be inconsistant if the ship had a MODERN GALLENTE design. It is an old warhorse, from the same era as the Dominix. The Thorax and most other ships are Post-war designs = not a likely candidate unless the Gallente dreadnaught was suddenly constructed just like that in very few years. Personally, I think it looks mightly cool, it will be kickass if it has the same color scheme as the Dominix and Velator.
Verizana	Posted - 2005.06.25 23:24:00 - [51] I think they haven't put a final touch on the modelling and textures yet, so just wait and see what we get! Or else we can just all go and kick our selfs. ---------- "There will come days when sleep walking isn't good enough, and when you post a frckn comment on auction threads it's l

Rafe Waddo	Posted - 2005.06.26 00:14:00 - [53] Agreed. I don't like how the Gallente titan looks as well. Spaceturds ftw it seems.
Sobeseki Pawi	Posted - 2005.06.26 00:24:00 - [54] Im not sure how the Min Dread came about...but it is completely backward to the Min design philosophy. Other than that...Dreads seem to be just as expected. ~Sobe
Weirda	Posted - 2005.06.26 00:56:00 - [55] Weirda love the Matari one. Weirda want to **** on this thread... Peace, Love & Rockets... -- Thread Killer <END TRANSMISSIO
GlimmerMan	Posted - 2005.06.26 02:10:00 - [56] It does look just a tad ugly, makes me glad to be Ammarian! Still, you might get lucky, it might not look just so bad once they finish texturing it and who knows maybe the Caldari one will look even worse and take the focus off of that monstrosity. Blowing s**t up since May 2003
Kashre	Posted - 2005.06.26 05:46:00 - [57] Quote: Minmatar - cluttered shapes, dark rusty tones, usually the least sleek ship designs but still imposing and have a sinister/imposing design criteria eg. Tempest/tyhpoon >>> Minmatar Dreadnought is aligned to the vertical axis, why? no other ship in the game has that characteristic, its proportions do not fit with any other minmatar ship ..... Off topic, but the Tempest is aligned to the vertical axis, and so is the rupture and vigil. Also, there are few ships (imo) as sleek looking as a rifter... it looks like a drag racer. As for the Gal DN. Yeah, its ugly. Every gal ship except the thorax is pretty phugly imo. Big deal. As long as it does its job :P +++ It's called "low security space" for a reason.
