Certain frigate pirate hulls have unique models.
i.e Dramiel and the Daredevil.
and most of the cruiser and BS hulls do not so it got me thinking
why not remodel some of the pirate cruiser and and battleship hulls too, to give them a unique look? This could be done in conjunction with any re balance passes CCP are making on the hulls. and packaged under the theme of the summer expansion.
I would love to see a Daredevil themed Vigilant or Vindi
what do y'all think? |

Remodeling a ship is a pretty resource intensive thing i understand. So its not as if they can just crank them all out with each rebalance.
Also, many would object to seeing their favorite hulls changed, i for one love the Serpentis Megatharon. It makes less sense that the DD is an angel hull and not a reskined Tristen or something. That comes from the lore of Serpentis being a sub faction of the Angels though. |

+1 i agree more unique models especially for unique ships Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic. Nerf web strength ..... module tiercide FTW role based instead of tiers please. |

there are already 3 hulls that use the Mega shape 4 if you include the Vindi IMO it would look a heap cooler if it were a scaled up Daredevil looking thing
it makes the ships even more desirable and cool and more of the same old is more of the same old
plus the remodeling work CCP has done lately has been pretty awesome |

rebalancing is simpler when you just change some stats in the code. A new model requires multiple people from the art department working to ensure it looks right (on a completely new model) in the game. |

... Because it takes a massive amount of man hours and development time. Hmm.. for the same price do we want more content that could potentially generate emergent game play or do we want something to spin?
That counter is tempting though... I want to see logi appear on killmails! (by just repping)-á See CSM "reasonable things" |

id prefer some man hours invested in new ship models instead of the "ESS" for example tbqfh
but i take your point |

Well there is the art team and there is the rest of the dev team that programs, comes up with the ideas and such...
To be brutaly honest I'd be very surprised if the art team doesn't create new mock hulls, at least in concept art, in their work time. Right now they made the deployables and the new SOE ships so they were probably busy with that. I'd not be surprised if they worked on DUST.
So when they got the time I'm sure they spend it on things like this, might not necessarily be ships but other structures like Stations or new site stuff but it's really not a question of "features vs. art". Besides that I also hold the opinion that CCP should make a PC version for Dust 514. |

I love CCP, they are good developers BUT i can not belive that static Ship Models are so time consuming.
Sry CCP there is something fishy here. |

Well, eventually there will be a Pirate ship rebalance, so new/revamped models could be added at that point. For ships that are exactly like their Empire counterparts excepting of color, I'd suggest to add small, distinctive variations of their hull, in the same way T2 ships may have extra engines or different shaped radiator wings than the T1 versions... |

Ladies and gentlement, I present to you Loot Spew. What's that? WiS doesn't seem like THAT bad of an idea anymore?
Also, the art team isn't anywhere near the balance team resource-wise.

I agree, at the very least add some bits and pieces.
Also, if they're working on the Gila, could you PLEASE give that hull the Scorpion treatment? It's so fugly. |
