~not sure if this has been brought up already~

Just been flying round in a Myrmidon and the missing high-slot being, well, missing was quite noticeable. It just looks kinda ugly and it's obvious that there should be something in that gap on the ship model.

Seems to be the same on all of the BC's. So as the title says can we expect updated ship models to reflect the latest series of changes any time soon?

Mik,

You know what's ugly? Turrets in stupid places, like on engines.

Bad devs, bad.

Some models need desperate help. I remember when CCP gave some love to the maller. I will forever be grateful.

Augoror (ugly and boxy)
Harbinger (doesnt fit in with other amarr ships, just ugly)
Belicose (ugly and boxy)
all Gallente ships

what looks bad to you probably look awesome to others and atm when ccp change a hull they tend to make all the ship the same, all the time we lose some peculiar design, the maller now looks good but the old model fitted more the idea of the armor tanking brick, all the minmatar hulls lost their rust and the new tempest stabber totally lost the scrap metal design that was caracteristic of minmatar hulls

I was just thinking about that the other night. A particularly bad culprit in that crime is the Omen, which has a nice, long hull and clusters almost all of its guns on the engine nacels. Why in God's name would you invite your enemy to simultaneously get to target your propulsion system AND your weapon emplacements?

Another bad ship for gun fittings, IMO, is the Hyperion. You have this huge, beautiful battleship, and you cluster ALL the turrets on the stern and bow. It's aesthetically awful to look at, and from a basic engineering standpoint, makes no sense. Why would the designers clump up all the turrets in one area that could, theoretically, get knocked out in a shot or two? Yeah, it doesn't affect gameplay in any way, but the practical girl inside me is screaming every time I look at it.


100% agree with you. To me, the 'evolution' of the Minmatar ships just makes them look like they belong. They still retain a very ominous, dark look to them, but they no longer look like garbage. I get the Minmatar are an evolving and new country, but that doesn't mean that their ships have to remain junk. Once they've got their foot in the door, it's time to modernize. The new Minmatar designs cherish the past, but build for a future -- a future where they're not constantly endangering valuable pilots with shoddy ships.

And then there's me, who absolutely loves the new Stabby and Pest, hoping that a similar modernification would hit other strange Minmatar ships (Rupture, Typhoon, all industrials).

I agree. I would love to see a more active art department. Not only do the bc's and cruisers need an update but i would really like tosee all the t2 variants get their very own models.

Should an existing model by updated, there is one ship that should be the top priority and that is the Moa.

Rupture, Typhoon
