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. |

I'm for this, provided these reworks occur after the Imicus overhaul. Imicus overhaul is the single most important task facing the art team.

I thought of it as 'flat Merlin' and thought it would have fit well enough. They could have tweaked it to lose a little symmetry to please the purists.

The Condor is a beautiful ship. Don't like it, don't fly it.

In space, symmetry serves no value but aesthetic pleasure. Personally, I am a big fan of ships that are not symmetrical, as I believe they are more realistic/practical. Take the scorpion, for example.
Symmetry is impractical. It creates the need to build and fill additional compartments, that may not otherwise be required, and may potentially block possible weapon mounts, radar systems, etc.
Love the condor as is. A realistic spaceship built for maneuverability and warfare would be a perfect sphere with small engines pointed in every direction. Mass distribution has a significant impact on how agile a ship can be, as does the location of thrusters. A sphere is also a very strong shape for withstanding impacts. A ship with asymmetries on it would involve a ton of very careful balancing, especially if it had thrusters on asymmetrical protrusions. Extra engineering that is totally unnecessary. Simple, symmetrical and mass-balanced designs would be far superior, and every realistic spacecraft would have engines pointing in basically every single cardinal direction, otherwise it simply could not turn, or would do so unbelievably inefficiently if it had engines off its central axis but pointing "backwards".
Imagine all the variation these insights could bring to Eve! Beautiful spherules dotting the spacescape!
Nebulae blotted out by tiny Jedi training remotes! Yay!

It needs to be updated for sure, but I'm Caldari and I like my asymmetry. |

i would not have started eve had there been no asymmetrial spaceship designs, they are the best thing ever!
i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling. |

Any other SciFi game ever could offer me generic blocky slow moving symmetrical bricks and fighters that whizz about like in Top Gun. Hell even EVE has those, they're called fighters. EVE offers a vision of 400m long cruisers doing u-turns and frigates pulling literally thousands of g's. Why? Because it's metal as **** that's why.
Asymmetry is important to EVE, the ships are supposed to look like the products of civilisations that were cut off from the rest of humanity for tens of millennia. Because that's what they are, they're alien spacecraft, flying saucers and EVE is all the more fantastic for it.
Shame CCP wants to turn every race slowly Caldari aesthetically speaking but what can we do.
also the blackbird is beautiful but please fix the moa |

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. |

I think the Condor is one of the best looking frigates in the game. It would be sad to see it go. Just like it was sad to see the original Scorpion model go.
Thank you. |

To be fair, it now actually looks like a Scorpion sort of.
