i don't like whiners, but here goes:
tbh i don't like most of the redesigned ships...
for example one of my favourites, the apoc (or any other amarr ship for that matter), just looks... wrong...
i don't like the hard lines and deep grooves, and the little lights are harder to see, and the stuff sticking out at the end looks even worse than the 2d sprites we have now (and they are way to long too).
plus the gold of the amarr armor is the wrong color.
it's the same with the scorpion, the smooth hull is replace by an ugly ridged hull with a depressing colour.
basically i guess my main problem with the new models is how they throw the smooth look of most ships out of the window and replace em with hard, harsh lines and grooves :(
edit: they all look way to plastic too, that's what's wrong with them
i guess if the option is there i'll be playing with the old models on...

You guys should all read tha part where hammer says "these are a work in progress" over 1 or 30 times...
and then read his post in the sticky where he says modifications to the models are being made even while theyre all @ e3... 30 times as well.
neway, personally i like the new models.

It's also worth noting that it's quite possible that moving more of the rendering onto the GPU may actually make the game less laggy. Currently way too much is done on the CPU which is what's choking everything up.

all the more reason to point this stuff out now, while there still is a slight chance that it will be taken into consideration

I agree with Uther and GlimmerMan. The Scorp's slabs of capitalistic strength have been replace and broken up with vents and ridges. All that was needed with the Scorp was an improved texture map and the Trinity lighting effects.
The antennas on the Apoc are too long, and as GlimmerMan said, they detract from the scale of the ship.
The Abaddon looks great though, but the concept art looks even better

The mega and apoc lost a lot of details, for the apoc a lot of the lighter lines across the hull are gone.
For the mega the patterns on the front are gone and replaced by holes... (wtf?)
Me no likey and since the mega is my primary ship ill prolly stick with the old graphics.
The abbadon, scorp, impairor and executioner are HOT stuff though

I actually think the apoc looks better in the old pics than the new. i like the mega that looks awesome. But thats cos its darker. I think the new skins need to be less "shiny". Try to preserve that dark and stylised look and feel please.

You can't base your opinion that 'it looks too cartoony' on ONE FRICKEING SHIP (scorp).
Look at the megathron. It looks like sex.

. . . 
cant stop laughing at how the playerbase at large mostly start screaming "NO ITS WRONG OMFG!" at the screenies.
I mean, jeez CMON, dont you people get it that NOT EVERYONE can be satisfied?
Best CCP can do is make em look as best as possible to as many eyes as possible. If yours dont count, your loss, so dont come here whining your top off.

I like the new Scorpion though although the Megathron is too dark. Wonder what the Vindicator would look like now.

What? No minmatar ships represented? ....shafted again... I'm dieing to know what they're going to do with the Typhoon (lets face it, the ship that's in the biggest need of a make-over)!
Anyway, the new mega is a solid improvement.... it's serious looking now. I like that's it's darker... its moody now, what it was meant to be.
The Scorpion actually looked better in the original model, I think. I can't place exactly what it is that ruined it...
The new AMMAR battleship model looks sweet. However, the other new AMMAR battleship models appear...underwhelming.

Those are ships made of metal.
No more washed-out virtual wannabees.
I totally embraces the new design. Kudos CCP. They wowed me completely.
And BTW. Those are the new DX9 models not the DX10 ones I think.

I like the new models for the most part, and I'm sure CCP will make adjustments where needed on them but over all very nice work.

Sweet ships...but nothing but eye candy. Some times I think CCP likes the pretties better the function.
Also I like the new look of the guns on the ship, but would like to see missle bays.
Apoc looks more like a unfinised ship...
scorpion looks like a tinker toy
and the megathron looks like it should be a life form.
Dont mind me I am just trying to catch up to DS and HK on the boards.... |

Anyone else notice, that all of the ship lights on all the ships are white lights now?
The best example I can think of is that the mega used to have green ship lights.... now they are all white.

Am I completly off here, or are those new textures, not new models?
Also I wonder why those antena on the apoc look worse then before, is the texture for those not finished yet on the picture? The new battleship looks sweet.
I like the new scorpion acctually, the old ones texture looked like it was made from legos or something.

I'll hold my judgement for now as they are still a work in progress, just hope they dont make the ships too dark and jagged.
I just really hope they re-do turrets now.

I like them overall as an improvement. There is something funny going on with the lighting, though. As others have noted, they're basically a wee bit too dark overall, with too much contrast with the shiny parts.

Is is amazing what a little bump-mapping and specular highlighting can do to change a model.

I wet myself when I downloaded the archives yesterday :)
They look really sweet, now just hope they make the capital miner good looking too
capital miner? there is planned the release of more mining ships? i thought that the only ships that were going to be released were the tier 2 bc and tier 3 bs 
They could also improve the textures of some ships, like give the megathron or the apoc, the quality of the textures of a brutix of nowadays...

I really really don't like that new executioner. It seems to have lost all of its character. It's changed from looking mechanical and light to looking very flat and plain and heavy.
The pale rough-looking plates with golden trim have been replaced with slabs of golden plastic on the Amarr ships. I don't like it at all.

If you really want to experience the beauty of that Scorpion, get 3d glasses...

It's a style thing. It's particularly obvious in Far Cry and Doom 3 (both of which were considered beautiful when they came out). Half Life 2 set out to replace this style with a realistic look.

I think the Executioner looks beautiful. I always thought the old Executioner looked like it had papyrus for armour.
