I have been forced to do this, I refuse to fly a giant bestower that takes ages of skills to train around.Yet I plan to fly Amarr Carriers.
The Aeon carrier looks like a bestower and is HORRIBLY UGLY.
Sure this could result in enemies taking the time to mock the ship and thus scoring the Aeon a few extra kills but damn we Amarr will hvae to look at this monster every day we log into eve.
I propose we cut the "hump" off the top, give it a flat "deck" and keep all the nice flashy light thingies underneath.
YaY? or Meh?
I know this will probably never happen cus changing the ship model is prolly to complicated, plus all the other work that needs to be done with the rmr release, but I thought I would just point out how unhappy I am with this ship design. |

I don't think it looks like a bestower. I think it looks like the wreckage of a bestower... A bestower split right down the middle.
I'd like to see something different... but all of the carriers are pretty hideous, so I don't think we're being particularly short-changed. -----------------------------------------------

It would be cool if the side part would unfold as you came out of warp; but yea, stuck with a rather ugly ship.

Well I can pretty much say that I can live with all the other carriers, but the Aeon has to be some kind of sick Minimatar joke. |

The profile of the "hump" is so much like the bestower actually, that I would not be surprised if they had sculpted this ship out of the bestower model. -----------------------------------------------

Edited by: Vishnej on 07/12/2005 02:20:07 I kinda like it - it has character.
Like a combination of a landing strip and half of a giant mutant bestower
Most of the carriers are ugly, with the exception of the millenium falcon. TBH, I'd rather have the mothership model than the needleship carrier model. ---------------------------- T2 Destroyers: a proposal Requested Changes: An alphabet's worth |

Everyone join in with me....
DOWN WITH TEH HUMP!
Seriously tho, maybe the Aeon can do some sittups and lose some of that hump before rmr hits. |

You kinda like it, it has character.That is very reasuring for a ship that we will be seeing everytime we log into Eve.
Hell even if the "hump" curved over the landing strip a bit and in the carrier description said something like, "The Aeon has a protective "sheild" of armor that hangs over the flight deck to protect fighters from enemy fire".
That would be cool with me.
The way I am seeing it now, it's way too close to a bestower in shape.

Yeah I agree, only downside is that eventually you have to look at the rest of the ship... |

Well to give the ship the benifit of the doubt, the run way looks cool.
We can also assume that they have some sort of technology for allowing fighters to land on the "runway".
I could live with a flat runway top, and cool alien looking bottom.It's just the bestower hump that is making me unhappy with the ship at this point. |

Edited by: Lorette on 07/12/2005 05:30:42 I think it actually looks quite cool, but then im also slightly intoxicated
Maybe the hump could do with a slight reduction.

Im going to repeat my new tagline:
Whatever your ships problem is, the Typhoon has it worse.
And it wins this one again. At least your ship looks like a golden piece of poo and not a brown one :S

Im intreeged, but knowing you I'll have to agree.
That said, how do people actualy test new ships on the test server, afaik they dont and only get to watch the odd dev fly em who says "yeah its great" and just nod blindly as cant fly em due to all the skills and no acceleration in training on test server.
Maybe something that is sooo blatantly need in addressing as new stuff is by definition prone to bugs and lets face it, how many buigs did dreads have as the only people who actualy were able to fly them prior to introduction were by definition biased (as anybody is towards there own work). Dont get me wrong devs do a great job, but the lack of joe publics access to test these things out will `still` encourage more bugs and makes the whole concept of a test server more case of, well check we havn;t broken anything which we had in before.
/me hits max speed after undocking/jumping and notices that all the bug reports in the world and notes in patch's saying its fixed wont change it.
But yeah if ICM says something, he's alas usualy right

yeah sadly its the crappiest of the 4. With an extra 10m/s and lower sig rad (only 1000 instead of 1400!) supposed to make up for it . The titan on the other hand... thats the one to get looking at the bonuses.

Same goes for gallente titan, I mean didnt CCP's art director realize that everybody thinks that dominix is crappy looking ship, in shape of a turd. How many more flying turds do we want in gallente space.
