More posts!
One of the changes we were investigating for Odyssey 1.1 but had to drop due to time was adjustments to the models of half the command ships. The goal would be to move them over to hulls that match the T1 combat BC that shares their weapon type, creating some more variety, opening up options for the art guys in the future, and making the differences between the command ships more intuitive.
This is something that first got discussed by us in this Features and Ideas thread. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive but obviously there are strong feelings about a lot of this stuff. The Sleipnir in particular creates very strong feelings for me.
The plan is:
Absolution becomes a Carthum Harbinger
Eos becomes a CreoDron Myrmidon
Nighthawk becomes a Kaalakiota Drake
Sleipnir becomes a Boundless Creations Hurricane
This change would affect the visuals of each of those four ships, as well as manufacturing and invention for them. For that reason I want to get it announced as early as possible.
This change would not affect the stats or bonuses of the ships at all. Any changes to those are an entirely different discussion.
Here's a gallery of screenshots I took of the new graphics from our internal test server.
I know this is going to generate a lot of strong feelings due to nostalgia and I share many of those feelings. However I truly think these new versions look amazing and that in the long run this is a change that people will look back on as an obvious positive.
Let us know what you think.

no.
no.
NO.
Not accepted.
You know the Abso isn't Khanid right? This change does not affect the Damnation.

Hey guys, I'm not going to be posting a lot in these threads between now and Monday, when these changes hit sisi. Just want to reassure you all that I'm still going to be reading every post in this thread and that I appreciate the feedback.

Hey everyone, I'm back from vacation and now fully caught up on this thread. Thanks for the feedback so far.
The proposed models will be working on Sisi when it updates later today so you guys can see them ingame for yourselves.
Quick point that I saw come up a few times, this change does not affect the names of the ships, they'll still be called the Absolution, Sleipnir, Eos and Nighthawk.

Are there any manufacturing changes besides just swapping the BPC you need to use to invent and the base ship needed?
Nope, those are the only two changes to the manufacturing process for these ships we have planned.
I also want to let you guys know that nothing in these changes affects any timeline for getting special models onto these ships. Updating T2 ships with specialized models is a long-term project the Art guys are working on in every expansion, and that will continue. These changes are not being made "instead" of model changes, they are completely seperate and don't take any significant amount of time away from the other ongoing art projects such as the new sisters ships and the revamped marauder models.

Also, why 3 fleet Commands and 1 combat Command redesign? Consistency would make more sense: all fleets or all combats adopting new hulls.
There are no longer such things as fleet or combat command ships. That distinction was removed when we rebalanced the class.
And just to be clear we're still early on and nothing is set in stone at this point. What I don't want to do however is make kneejerk changes before more people have had a chance to try them out and give the alternate hulls a chance on Sisi.. Take the time to check them out on Sisi and let the idea settle in, keep letting us know what you think. We will continue to be taking feedback for quite a while.
