I love the new Moa design. No disrespect to past designers, but it's VERY evident based on the new ship designs in the last few years that the old design team has turned over. I like asymmetrical, sure. It's cool. But asymmetrical for the sake of being asymmetrical results in idiotic looking ships that make no sense practically or artistically.
I'm glad the old Moa died. Yes, it was iconic. But being iconic for being ugly isn't really fame. It's just nostalgia for a ship that people WISH they could fly, but it's too hideous to hit the "buy" button. The ship is now useable for people aesthetically minded. Not to mention it looks much more like a combat ship than the previously awkward design.
As for the Condor design, I think it looks good. That's one ship where the asymmetry kind of looked cool, but the new one looks cool as well. I like it either way. |

To me "iconic because it was so ugly" is not a reason to keep the ship hideous. If it's universally understood to be ugly, then changing it to be less ugly shouldn't bother anyone.
Sure, it may have been iconic, but ugliness isn't a benchmark you wan't to be iconic for.

I like the design of my Gila/Moa just the way it is. It's not nostalgia that I like abstract art. I like the design of the current Moa because it is interesting to me. The new one is boring to me. Too predictable. Edit: I've posted an idea in Features & Ideas entitled Access to Older Ship Models on the Noble Exchange and I'd like your support if you prefer some of the older designs.
You are correct. However, it's unfortunate (for you specifically) that you are in a tiny minority when it comes to loving the current Moa's design. Naturally CCP leans towards pleasing the masses.
I like your suggestion about accessing older ship models, though it seems like a lot of extra work for CCP that they likely won't perform. But I'll still toss my name in the hat for support. |
