Look at the Kestrel: http://evewiz.com/379-522-large/kestrel-caldari-frigate-ship.jpg
Now look at the "new" Manticore: http://sgtbenton.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/manticore_branded_small1.jpg
I'd love to see all the T2 variants of T1 ships follow some kind of similar approach.
It makes sense to have the T1 variant look like something that was mass produced in a factory and the T2s to look like ultra sleek high tech vessels. The Kestrel and Manticore both look similar, you can tell they are based on the same design. But the Manti is the one that looks better because its the T2 variant.
For example, we have the caracal and the Cerberus. The Cerb is just a caracal model with a reskin. I'd like to see it have a new model that resembles a caracal but with T2 aesthetics. |

They're working on updating ship models (see the Stabber and it's variant).
From what I understand though, the bombers were a special case as they had to be redesigned to look good with battleship sized missile launcher turrets (missile launchers didn't used to show up on your ship model), and that required new models designed just for them. This is EVE - Everybody Versus Everybody.

Golem needs more winged forks. I also like how the stabber model has the rear turn bright orange depending on the speed you are now thinking about breathing and blinking |

What I'm asking for is more than just a few wingy bits like the vaga vs stabber. But much more so that they look like different ships while still being similar overall. |

Meh... been watching "Das Boot" again... so I'd just like to see a cloaky cruiser based on the Corax hull... ulitmate "u-boat", and destined to be an epic favourite.

I definitely would like to see CCP do with all T2 variants what they have done with Stabber/Vaga or Kestrel/Manticore. Heck, even the Tristan/Nemesis is pretty cool. It's nice to see that a T2 ship is more advanced. |

Great film, bought it on Blu-Ray for my Dad, watched it, bought a Corax. Quite gutted that it is literally impossible to shoehorn a cloak onto it and still make it a viable surprise-attack ship :( |

All ships should be awesome.
Although the Imicus/Helios and Moa/Eagle/Gila are probably the most hated hulls in the game.

If there was a cruiser or Bship that looked as cool is the Manticore, its would be the only thing I'ld ever fly.

The Bombers are big enough to be Destroyers...
Which is why they should add 4 Torpedo Destroyers based on the Bomber Hulls. For one thing Destroyers IRL were actually designed entirely around being large fleet sized Torpedo Boats so it would be nice to have one of those. For another it it is just plain fun, the Tier 3's of Destroyers. Finally It is economical, CCP says they want to make Battlecruisers and Destroyers a class to scale of Cruisers and Frigates, 4 ready made hulls would make this easier and if you add another at the same time that is 4 for each race.
Heck there is even one Torpedo per race. So to sum up a Torpedo Ship Destroyer would be awesome, cheap and awesome. |

They're actually as big as cruisers. With the sig radius of a frigate. Don't worry about posting with your main! -áPost with your brain! "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." |

That is a tough distinction, some Cruisers are big even close to Battlecruiser size and some are small. The thrasher is bigger then Minmatar Cruisers. |

I enjoy the small changes to the ships like they did with the assault frigs and interceptors. They dont have to be as warped as the new bombers [infact I prefer them not to be] but the different decal T2 ships are about as boring as it gets.
The Phobos looks amazing and yet the Deimos is just a repaint of the thorax, the Vargur and Kronos look good aswell but the Golem and Apoc are still just repaints at the moment.
I also think they should have each manufacturer have their own style of hull changes, like how with the minmatar the thukkers and Boundless have very distinctive sails. [while core complexion just adds more smaller sails to their ships]
Correct me if Im wrong but the other races seem to be currently missing this distinction.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I would love it if CCP introduced 4 new T2 manufacturers
Amarr and minmatar now have a reason to have a drone and missile developer respectively.
A gallente manufacturer that focusses on shields a bit more would be interesting too.
And Caldari could use ships that can actually fly at decent speed [lore already states that the caldari were able to counter the gallente simply because the gallente had sluggish cruisers compared to their nimble fighters]. Sukuuvesta apparently designed the engines for some of the caldari capital ships, so they would be a good choice. |

To be honest, the Widow and Golem models both look above average at the moment since they were quite recently redone.
I'd be far more interested in a new Ishukone skin (that gold to black gradient is very ugly, and now we dont even get to see the Rhea in the old colors) or an updated dominix/moa/imicus/bantam/etc model, but maybe that's just me.

Agreed, CCP did an excellent job on the manticore. Now we want more. It makes the earlier t2 hulls like the enyo look disappointing by comparison. |
