JC Anderson Noir. Black Legion. 897	Posted - 2013.02.04 10:06:00 - [1] - Quote The Condor/Crow/Raptor kind of had a new model, but it was never actually implemented. There is a bit of a back-story behind this, so here goes. Player pulls new Crow model off of an earlier duality build and posts images of it on the forums and elsewhere, but without textures and info in the eve .red file. Nobody believes it is a CCP model and call it a troll since without textures it simply did not look like something that CCP would make. Then I extract the build that the Crow model was reported to be from using triexporter. I find that the model is indeed within that build and go about applying the textures to it based on the official numbers included in the .red file for the model. I post this, explaining that it was what the model looked like when textured. http://go-dl.eve-files.com/media/1110/crow.jpg CCP Navigator then posts in the thread. CCP Navigator wrote: There is no new crow model. That is a player creation only. To which I reply. JC Anderson wrote: Ok well this is odd. As much as I would love to say Sarmatiko is just crazy, I cannot. Main reason being that I have now with my own eyes seen this crow model in one of the official patch builds as well. Not saying that means anything though. Maybe CCP for some reason is pushing player created content into patches for testing? No way to know for sure I guess. But the .red file is there and everything. :) A couple of days later, navigator makes another post in the same thread. CCP Navigator wrote: CCP Atropos got in contact with me over the weekend to correct my mistake here. Apparently this was not a player created ship and was a prototype model created by our own art department. I really do apologize for giving you guys misleading information. Someone, and I will not say who, had told me the wrong information to begin with so I am correcting this for you as it is the right thing to do. Some cheered, and some hissed and rabble rabbled. But in the end, the model was eventually forgotten and left in the dust bin.

Well the prototype remodel they did looked much better, but I think it wasn't used because it simply didn't really seem to fit in the EVE universe in terms of ship design.

I posted a link to it in my post a couple above yours.

Yeah actually I agree with you there.

I mostly fly Amarr nowdays when I wanna look good while pewing puts glasses on On the note of looking cool, I'm really not all that fond of the Dramiel's model either. Have never understood why people like it so much. Statswise, yes I understand why people like that ship, But I'm just speaking in terms of its physical design.

See my post on page 1. ;) Also a link to what it looks like textured there. That was a prototype made by the art department quite awhile back and was thrown in the dust bin. They have no intention to actually use it.
