While I approve of mixing things up and adding variety and spice to the game, I unfortunately have a negative opinion on changing both the names and the models of these ships.
models:
interceptors, assault ships, recon cruisers, and command ships all currently follow the same pattern of paired ships with set color schemes. If you change command ships arbitrarily, do you plan to change all of the others too? It doesnt seem very practical to me.
I cant speak for all the races, but it seems like drakes and hurricanes are already very popular models, to the point of overuse. Practically, and unfortunately, the only time you will see a ferox model is as a command ship. I do like variations on the skins, but we just got the Navy Faction versions to play with if we want different skins.
*suggestions*
1: If you REALLY want to mix the pairs up, remember there is another battlecruiser set available that is only being with one skin: naga, talos, oracle, and tornado. why not reskin those? \
2: Do what was done with the stealth bombers, sleek new models based on the old ones.
3: If you really want to make t2 drakes, hurricanes etc. just add a new class of battlecruiser. there is currently only one t2 variation. maybe make marauder-equivalent battlecruisers? or even t3 strategic battlecruisers? do something BIG and CRAZY! These ideas definitely leave you room to make changes, add new art, and still respect the current designs.
Names:
No. Each Empire has nice naming schemes that match their ideologies, history, and personality. The current names are perfect for reflecting that. Throwing out the old names for no good reason, just to add generic faction names seems wrong to me. |

The post is identifying the hull and corp whose color scheme is being chosen.
I see, that makes more sense. but my opinions on the hull changes still stand. |
