1. New ships: 3rd tier battlecruisers with oversized guns, with the first significant (read: non-supercap) new combat ship hull models added to the game since 3rd tier BATTLESHIPS back in Revelations I in late 2006 (even before overheating!)
Actually if I remember correctly, I do believe the 2nd battlecruiser for each race was in the very same patch with the tier 3 battleships. You know, back when the Caldari were stuck with the Ferox as their only bc?
In any sense, it's fitting that we will see yet another BC. Though I have always wished we would see the hurricane hull used for some new class of tech 2 battlecruisers. ;) But I guess that isn't all that likely. |

Actually, months before the new Maller model made it to the test server, it was posted on these forums in the same way. These are models that apparently are pulled from a compressed build, converted, and rendered by a third party app.
I'd think that would be the only way since we can't exactly access Eve's render engine. |

So basically they could be sitting as unused data in the files of the current client version; this is a pretty standard practice.
Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case... The maller images were posted so far in advance of them making it to the test server that your theory would most likely be correct.
When those were posted it was the same thing. The textures were bland, and everybody said it didn't look like it was CCP's engine. They were mostly passed off as a false rumor.
Then one day, the models shown in those images were suddenly the new Maller. ;) |

Also an update from Navigator about the Crow model. He originally posted that it was not a CCP model but corrected himself today.

CCP Atropos got in contact with me over the weekend to correct my mistake here. Apparently this was not a player created ship and was a prototype model created by our own art department.
I really do apologize for giving you guys misleading information. Someone, and I will not say who, had told me the wrong information to begin with so I am correcting this for you as it is the right thing to do.
And a link to an image of the model that I exacted from the build and rendered using the proper textures and materials from the .red file.
