I'm extremely tired of people trying to get CCP to throw out an iconic design that a lot of people enjoy just because they don't like it and because they found a picture on deviantart.
The Domi is a 200-year old, mass produced workhorse, it's not the brand new sleek, sexy, sportscar, that's the Megathron, it's not a hulking muscle car, that's the Hyperion.
The Dominix is a van.
Sure vans get updated over time and new models come out, but they don't exactly suddenly get pretty, they're built for function, not form. Now I'm sure people will think of linking things like this to say that vans can be awesome too, but those are modded vans, something the crazy van enthusiasts would do, but behind all that paint and modding, it's just a van. It's nothing special to look at, but it does it's job.
Of course, the Domi could do with a touchup, there's a lot of unused space on the front of it that could be more interesting, and it's not exactly functional as a van right now, since it doesn't have any doors (drone bays.) The Sin could probably be made kind of interesting by going with the idea of what a bunch of crazy Dominix enthusiasts (CreoDron) would do when given the opportunity to pimp out the Domi.
However, CCP shouldn't throw out the DomiVan just to replace it with a sportcar someone found, or in this case a muscle car, or a Caldari ship, or a Minmatar ship, or god knows what some of the suggestions I've seen for updating the Domi even are.
tl;dr: That's a very nice ship, but it's not the Domi, the Domi is a van, and even if it gets updated, it should stay a van, not a muscle car.
Honestly I don't even understand the complaints, the Domi isn't ugly, it's not pretty or sexy, but it's not ugly either, it's just... the Domi. |

No!
You have an issue with how the Domi looks? That's your opinion and you're allowed it.
But it is just your opinion.
Yes, the Domi could do with a little update, but a total redesign is the wrong way to go.
Please leave the Domi's overall shape alone for all of us that are very happy with its functional looks.
Yes, that's a lovely design for a ship, but it just isn't a Domi. |

But they are redoing the Apoc model, why can't they touch the Domi exactly? Not re do it entirely but at least make it look like something else than a space potato, no? |

I tried to spin that one in the OP's link; it didn't work. I think its a sign that the Domi should be left alone. Slavery is self choosen, only the unclaimed are not free.

The general model of the Dominix is fine.
It just needs to be updated like what CCP did with the Apocalypse and it'll be prettier than ever. I'm particularly looking forward to the Domi getting a physically visible drone bay on the model like the megathron has. And then maybe some model improvements to make it look sleeker and sharper. |

Look, the Domi is already awesome, maybe bung a drone bay door on it and you're done. Why do I want a 'sleek' Domi? So it is graceful and majestic as it flitters about above spring meadows? No I want a big fat unit that spits out drones all day long and generally just sits there, it needs to be as aerodynamic as a potato so they built it the same shape as one! |

Save that for another Gallente hull..they are redesigning the Domi, not rebuilding it from scratch. That image doesnt even look anything like the current Domi...
My guess is that theyll just make the new domi somewhat more streamlined with a [hopefully] very big and detailed dronebay. |

how ever on the gallentian school for ship construction, apprentice ship designers learn: ships look either like space-cancer or if you redo them very sleek and streamlined. thatswhy gallentian ship yards have a special machine which takes newly finished hulls and sucks on them till they look like a half finished candy.
all the new additions and reworks of gallente ships are super awesome (talos, megathron, algos, nemesis) . it's about time the dominix gets the same treatment. a great ships which looks just uninspiring.

I'm not 100% sure I "love" that one that was posted, however it is 300 times better than the domi is now. I don't care what anyone says such as "its iconic leave it alone" because the domi as it is now is nothing more than a motorcycle that someone that forgot to put the wheels and handle bars on...

I was at The Art of EVE roundtable. Concept art for an updated Dominix exists in the CCP art department, but they're not doing anything with it yet. This doesn't mean it is or isn't happening, just that it exists.
...and no, I don't have a picture of it. No-one does.
As for just changing the Sin, my question to them was 'are they going to continue the awesome trend of making T2 ships badass versions of their T1 selves' to which the answer was yes...
A few notes though, that I confirmed with the Tech Art and Art guys: the Raven/Golem models are exactly the same because this was the first one they did. The Mega/Kronos are only slightly different. The Tempest/Vargur are noticeably different. Tech Art told me that while the Apoc model is finished, the Paladin is not, but it will be noticeably 'tankier' than the Apoc. Apart from the Golem, you can see the trend the art department is taking. So far only with bombers and marauders, but let's hope it sticks. __________________ Chief Executive Officer Instar Heavy Industries |

During the Apoc redesign panel at FF I took the opportunity to ask if they had plans to redo the Dominix any time soon.
This was met with considerable support from the rest of the audience when they asked if it should be redone.
Turns out they already have a design concept in hand, could be done as early as winter expansion, but I wouldn't hold my breath just yet. Enjoy your gaming.

All I want on a new domi is part of the ship that clearly shows where the drones are launched and/or retrieved from.
Part of why the domi is awesome is that it's an ugly as hell ship, but still manages to be totally badass. Watch Fred Fred Frederation and stop cryptozoologist! Fight against the brutal genocide of fictional creatures across New Eden! Is that a metaphor? Probably not, but the fru-fru- people will sure love it! |
