Next is Apoc for everyone who hasn't noticed the current redesign pattern. Also Domi and Phoon are fine.

Hey CCP. Show us a preview of the next round of ship designs please

yk

no

I heard the new texture for the Dominix will be a mottled brown while the Megathron will come with a pink miniskirt.

Oh alright, you've convinced me!

Here it is.

You didn't specify the dimensions of the picture so I made you a 4x2 px top secret thumbnail.

OPs thread makes me want to say so much that would be deleted by GMs.
Jimmies THOROUGHLY rustled.

Information is already available on the next series of changes, for anyone who actually cares to look for it, and doesn't just want to make themselves look stupid writing their initials after every post.
Battleships are slated for the may change, CCP acknowledged that the caldari are missing their attack battleship, and the other 3 races are missing their ewar battleships. Otherwise, some pontential changes/ideas were listed, and it is possible to work out the smaller modifications to ships like the armageddon based on the style of changes that were made for the frigate, cruiser, and battlecruiser tiericides.

this game is about spaceships and the most designs in this game are boring. a pity!

That looks terrible.

By the love of god.... do something with gallente and caldari.
Amarr and minmatar look great. But some caldari and gallente ships look.... erm?!
And plzzzzzzzzzzzzz the Hookbill is really one of the ugliest ships in game :(

I can poke the Art Director regarding the dev blog on monday

Maybe so but it have potential it sorta pull(looks) on Hel and Nid mini cousin.

Current one looks like ugly pipe with stick on front and brick glued on back,so i am more than happy to give a rough concept pic a go / like.

Next is Apoc for everyone who hasn't noticed the current redesign pattern. Also Domi and Phoon are fine.

If anything needs redesigned it's those Caldari abominations.... the Moa being the worst.

Original, yes. Very science-fictiony, yes.

But it also makes my eyes bleed -- which is doubly disappointing because stats-wise, both the Moa and the Gila are decent ships otherwise.

Caldari and gallente designs should have been more similar to start off with according to their early space life and mutual advancement (for awhile at least). Yet one making a space potatos and a few planets away the other making polygonal spasms.... eh

Yes but that would even moreso mean that theyd have similar technology besides hybrids.

It wouldnt be very interesting now would it?

then again, Amarr are now basically gallente with lasers instead of hybrids so I guess my whole point of the races having to be unique is completely moot.

YES

Even better, why does not CCP put some time into design and come up with different designs for ships that look identical to each other, brutix - astarte, cyclone sliep claymore such examples.
It is kind of embarrassing that ccp cant come up with different designs for each ship but just rip off the design from one ship to another and just change specs and so forth.

We are starting to do that for every ship redesign.

Its understandable to have similar looking hulls, however reskins just seem lazy to new players who want to fly cool stuff, not stuff that just works well. Thanks for letting us know people are on top of that.

By similar hulls, I mean the merlin->hookbill. They are structurally similar in a cool way. Tempest -> vargur is a pretty good example too.

It would be nice if navy ships had a bit of variation as well, albeit less than the T2 stuff.

My fingers are crossed for the chance to fly a Hacked Infested Dominix. The thing is so cool it is a logical choice for a faction model for the Dominix. =)

You hate EVE universe, don't you?
If not, then why you proposing to redesign beautiful ships into tasteless generic garbage, currently present in any generic "game pretending to be about spaceships"?

Also, those are far from generic.

making model changes for every ship version takes alot of time and ressources

You know what doesn't take a lot of time an resources? Posting preview pics of those you've already made.

You know what I can`t do if I want to keep my job here

making model changes for every ship version takes alot of time and ressources

They are far from generic in negative sense.
Why would you want redesigned ship that is simple rip-off from Caldari Fighter bomber Mantis?
And, yes, you can find those "fighter" designs in almost any "space simulator" that was released in last 20 years or so.

So glad CCP used art resources on monocles and mini-skirts. They added so much to the graphics I see when shooting space ships.

If you can fill your lame online store with barbie garbage, you can handle replacing the cop-out reskins.

actually... shouldn't Cap ships be next up for V3ing BEFORE CCP gets stuck into redesigning V3'd ships???

Now I really want a Megathong... Oh I mean Megathron....

Don't expect any new info from the art team until Fanfest as that normally is the main event there showing off new shiny stuff.

think about it from the players perspective. we put in a lot of time and effort to get into the ships, but visually It's almost never worth it. worst case scenario, you grind for months, saving up, and you get rickrolled with a navy mega.

why shouldn`t we be able to do both :D

Aha! I have found a loophole for you.

So you can't post pictures yet. But surely you can tell us what ships you have been working so hard on redesigning.

cant detect a loophole over here

Joke is on you. I personally know Horatio Cane, and he enhanced the image you posted.
Redesign is out everybody.

I wonder what's happened with previous FF stuff like redesigned Imicus (not really good), Punisher, Navitas, Atron and Crucifier: http://imgur.com/a/KFuhX

[making model changes for every ship version takes alot of time and ressources

We appreciate the hard work.

You guys need to hear some encouragement sometimes so convince Soundwave and Lander to let you preview the eye-candy so that we can salivate at them.



yk

sry to say that, but i dont think we will show anything in the near future

Sorry, but you have to. Fanfest is in near future and Art Panel is in near future. Resistance is futile

Fanfest is not near future for me right now

and if i get the greenlight i might do an art presentation during the fanfest involving cool stuff and so

How about NO!

need more vertical.

why shouldn`t we be able to do both :D

"because of art bottlekneck" is what im used to hearing , and considering there is a whole POS overhaul just over the horizon i thouhgt you guys might be busy on that lol

no

art was never a bottleneck

art was never a bottleneck

The major bottleneck is art GÇô the Art department is very busy, at least until next year.
...
In addition, CSM stated that QA and Art had been repeatedly cited to them as bottlenecks.
...
CSM requested a meeting with the Art group to discuss aesthetics and get a better understanding of
why Art is frequently mentioned by other CCP groups as a bottleneck for getting features implemented.

art was never a bottleneck

Busted!

I could sit down and teach myself how to use Blender and make ship models.

Really, there are some ship models that are just plain silly.

Moa doesn't may any sense. I understand wanting to have asymmetrical ships. I really do. The Moa hull is not good enough to justify being used for 3 different ships.

Don't forget the Raven. Oh wait...

No...I am right. Raven needs a redesign.

And that idiotic looking Caracal.

Make Domi, do NOW

Amarr drones should be the target of the next graphics overhaul.

Still, the Moa. C'mon what were they thinking? I think it had to be corrupted model file that slipped through and they just went with it.

Leave my Moa alone! She is a beautiful old bird and the only one I will ever love!

if you **** your head a little to the side it looks a bit like a rectangle

no, wait

no it's an oblong sorry

EDIT: look ****'s not at all a rude word but it was censored anyway

but as there are a limited number of four-letter verbs that might be censored i'm clearly ****ing my head

obviously as you can't **** your own head, and ****ing it would be pretty bloody messy

so i mean **** as in turn-ways
