I was wondering if it would be possible to get some concept art on all the 8 ships (the 4 BS and the 4 BC's). Primarily it affects me because I am trying not to "waste(*)" Skillpoint. This wish is based in perticular on the gallente tier3 BS concept art. Now some of you might be asking "what does it matter how a ship looks?", well to me it does almost as much as its capabilities, and therefor I would hate to go for tech2 large railguns/blasters only to discover that the current concept art will be launched.
To be perfectly honest, the gallente tier3 BS looks so bad to me, that I would rather be fly a pod into a fleetbattle than the "long lump with a skirt". (yes I know taste is highly subjective, so I am only refering to my own opinion of said concept at.).
(*) I am well aware that skillpoints are never trully wasted, but if you are trying to go straight after one goal (in this case gallente BS) only to discover this comming september, that the top ship you have trained for is so ugly that you would never be seen undocking in one, I would consider it partly wasted.
I would like to round of with saying that the new minmatar BS and BC concept art both looks more than perfect. Seriously well thoughtout, beautiful - bringing something new to the minmatar style, yet keep strong traces of the old.

I originally did not like any of the tier 3 BS concept art, except teh caldari one, (loved both tier 2 BC tho), but when I saw how good the Abaddon (tier 3 amarr) looked when adjusted slightly and made into a model, I changed my mind. I think, when refined and modelled and textured, with turret hardpoints placed, the current concept for the gal tier 3 will look the bees knees.

The dominix has got to be one of the ugliest ships in eve. It is also one of the best ships available. I know which one is more important :)

Just goes to show you how important color is for distinquishing racial ships.
I wonder which of those designs will actually make it into the game.

all a matter of opinion 
personally, i like the asymmetry. its different from all the other sci-fi games or TV shows where everything is symmetrical, aerodynamic(?!), or a circular ring of some sort.

Judging by the other concept art on that page, I'm guessing all of them.

i like the new designs they seem to be more "realistic " than the typical space/airplane types seen in most sci-fi

Actually, I rather like that Minmatar BC concept. The Amarr one is alright I guess as well, almost reminds me of a Maller for some reason. The minnie BS is a little odd though. As for the last, did you really expect the Caldari BS to look good?
Edit: Upon closer inspection, that Caldari BS doesn't even look like it got hit with the ugly stick, it looks like it *is* the ugly stick.

It's a matter of taste then. I for one like the Domi, as it is one of the most original and perhaps the coolest lookin BS in game, ok Machariel is by far the best looking, but after that. Armageddon might be in the top 3 too.

I'm reserving judgement until we can see the Tier 3 Gallente from different angles. Given how the other 3 look awesome, IÆm sure once we see it æin the fleshÆ it will look cool.

Wow, what a stupid post. The new battleships are tier 3 battleships. That is they need the racial battleship skill at level 3 to fly them.
But, did you notice that the existing battleships have bonii that go up with the level of battleship training. So that, for example, if you fly a Dominix you should have Gallente Battleship trained to level 3 already. And the best pilots will have it at 5.
Not so Mr Bright after all.

Not yet. Asgeirjon seem to have slowed down his creations a bit, otherwise we'd have had one of the missing two last Friday

ARe you insane? They got some of the best spaceship designs ever. With the absolute top IMO the Nyx, too beautiful.

Well, if you had bothered to read my post, I specifically mentioned guns as well. Training tech2 large guns for one race is an investment in SP, is there anything wrong in not wanting to make the wrong choice? I know the name is ironic, its supposed to be - heck I chose "Mr Bright" because "Mr Pink" was taken  .
As I already have gallente cruiser 5, I do hav a pretty good grasp of sinking a good lot of SP into specific skills, and therfor focusing my training to be more competitive with less SP in total. Hence I stated a wish to avoid sinking to much SP into areas I would not be using, and I see the tier 3 BS as something I woudl be flying in the race I choose to specialize in.

Funny, I was thinking the opposite. I'm going to be training for that Caldari BS purely because of how cool it looks.

Just keep up the good work CCP.
p.s.: War was never beautiful why would the ships be? :P

To the OP: I understand where your coming from, you have to spend along time looking at the backend of your ship. The way a ship looks is just as important as its stats otherwise we'd all be flying around in 3d cardboard boxes.

He probably dosnt post them as much because of all the negative coments he gets like "OMG you copied the a star destroyer!!!"

Well, lets see, all of his previous ones did, check the rest of the album - he's the lead concept designer - and the tier-3 amarr bs he desgned was shown in-game @ E3. So, all of them :)

LOL, my comments are more along the lines of "OMG you copied the star destroyer, I'm going to train for battlecruisers now!!11one!"
