So the other day i was flying towards Jita when i saw a rattlesnake, i was soon filled with sadness knowing i will never fly my old rattlesnake again. The old scorp model was one of my favs, the rattlesnake my fav faction BS. Please bring back the old rattlesnake as the current one is useless and boring.

I too prefer the old Scorpion but I think it should have been updated.
The problem, it looks like a Decepticon and worse an actual scorpion. I liked that it was abstract, interesting, not a giant transformer in space.
I wish they used the old model as a template and improved on it.

Agreed, the old model looked more like a spaceship made for combat whereas the new one feels a bit like it's coming from Toys'R'us.

Disagree.
The new scorpion model is awesome. The old one was just bad.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

The new Scorpion model is boss, it's my favorite ship in the game, and looks very cool. That old model looks like a lopsided piece of Minmatar junk. Caldari Militia Gÿ£G£½GÿP |

I liked the old Scorp model as well. The new one just looks far too nice and "balanced."
I just don't know how Fatal and the Rabbit can handle it.

The old Scorpion looked like a peg legged drunk staggering down a steep slope in a high cross wind. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

The current scorp looks like a space arthropod, and the old one was asymmetrical. it's a lose-lose situation, tbh. |

The current scorpion looks like an arthropod, because a scorpion is an anrthropod. A job very well done by the designers!
I wish they would make the Black Widow look like a spider. (it could be done, I explained that in another post sometime ago, and it gives me the creeps just thinking about it.)

TBH, if basing preferences on appearance, none of the Caldari BS hulls look good. The Rokh is a perfect example of a flying box.
Main reason I want to get into that Drake is how it looks. It doesn't look cheezy; weird (Moa!) and even looks mean in a certain way.
The style offering for BS classes is a reason I'm in no hurry to get into one. Can paint them red, string lights around them, make them cost 10m...it's not something I want in my hanger.
While mining in a grav site a guy raced in with his Scorp and I got a chance to view it more closely -- I said to myself, no way I'm flying that thing (like in WoW no way did I bother to get the scorp mount, even when I was exalted).
It's because those things look cheezy.
A Drake looks like a gray boat you'd expect from a navy. It's hull looks like a spaceship. It simply fits the spacefighter theme. The Scorpion ship looks like a Happy Meal prize in comparison. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

The new Scorp/Rattle is indeed a bit cheesy. They should have made the stinger offset to one side, lower, and less obviously stinger-like. Then make one of the wings slightly different than the other to balance it out. Slight asymmetry, like the Millenium Falcon. But not totally wonky like the original Scorpion. And not so tongue in cheek as it is now. Just vaguely reminiscent of an actual scorpion. So it looks like the ship was named after it was built, not built from the ground up to look like a scorpion.
I wouldn't say the old one is better though. It was pretty terrible. What really needs to be reverted are the Angel ships. Get rid of the camo and go back to black! That nice slightly reddish/brownish black that they used to be. And desaturated window lights. |

Looks good.
CCP, just give us a choice that matches the tastes of conservatives; moderates and liberals. As that what it comes down too in artistic taste.
And that Drake is popular not just because of it's tank or HAMs, it's a ship that a player can fly without feeling they just left a disco. "In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." ~George Orwell

The ship model was absolutely horrible in every sense. Glad to see it gone.
I do however miss the old ship fitting style. Seemed a lot more intuitive and made more sense than the new one. The new one seems too "futuristic" and stylish to the point of being annoying.
A few changes could have been made to the old layout that gave important information in a better way. I just LOVE the look of where the high mid and low slots are positioned. I really don't care much for a ring with the ship model in the middle. Trolling is like art. Anyone can finger paint, but it takes true talent to create a masterpiece. |

New fitting window is way more clean, attractive, and easy to read in my opinion. Plus it lets you ship spin two copies of your ship at the same time so... yeah. |
