CCP Fozzie wrote:This is something I've been thinking about during my predesign for the command ships.
I'll start with this disclaimer, we will never feel that we need to make hull designs match the function of every ship. So there's no NEED to switch the hulls on any command ships. This is not something we've decided to do, but it is something we could do and would like your opinions on.
It might be interesting to convert half the command ships into the other BC hull, picking the one that matches their weapon type at the T1 level.
That would (potentially) mean:
Eos would use the Myrm hull
Sleipnir would use the Hurricane hull
Abso would use the Harb hull
Nighthawk would use the Drake hull
This is the kind of thing that we'd expect many people would have strong opinions about, and since it wouldn't have direct gameplay effects we wouldn't consider it worth doing unless there was some significant community support for the idea that overwhelms the opposition.
So, hypothetically, what do you guys think?
Do it. |

HACs do have different hulls, why shouldn't CS and AS have them? Just imagine Kestrel-based Hawk, Tristran-based Ishkur, not to mention Hurri-Sleip. Wouldn't that be AWESOME?
Could make the Vengeance a Tormentor. And make the Jaguar a symmetrical Burst.
As for any arguements regarding the dramatic change of roles regarding ship hulls. The Maller did become a Sacrilege. |

I also don't think this kind of change would be worthwhile unless we did all four and converted them into those specific hulls, since any deviation would make it harder for a new player trying to get information from their looks.
So it's kinda an all or nothing deal, which is what makes it such a difficult question. Sleipnir is my ship of choice... changing it to hurricane would destroy the game for me unless Claymore will become usefull for my playing style. Hurricane is a deal breaker for me. It's the Cyclone hull I love. EDIT: Just to add... Changing the Cyclone to missile boat was already hard for me as it's my secondary ship. But I could live with that.... but flying Sleipwith Hurricane hull. 
It makes more sense. But the thing is, the hurricane was never about shield boosting. The sleip kind of is. |

Meh, I retract my previous want. Assault ships have always pulled it off with one model. So have command ships. So have interceptors. They're just too memorable to start ******* around with. I have an idea though, bring us a BC sized HAC. |

Assault ships. Interceptors. Recon ships. You're changing quite a few rules in the process in regards to consistency. Change one you have to change the lot, and the Sleipnir and Absolution in particular have always been iconic in their roles. No to the change, personally. Some ship classes can take doubling up. |
