FoxFire Ayderan 156	Posted - 2015.01.13 23:28:41 - [1] - Quote Or at least hire a normal person who understands (and perhaps has read the science) that human beings find symmetry attractive. The old design looked positively stupid or Quasimodo'ish. Let's face it, nobody wants to ** that. The new design is eminently more **able.

Dave Viker Do you even Exist. 58	Posted - 2015.01.14 09:54:11 - [15] - Quote I personally like asymetrical ships. Tbh, when I started playing EVE, I could not look at any Ships except for the Amarrian ones, but I now learned to love them all. I literally like the look of every single ship now. Everything has beauty in it, somewhere. The old Blackbird, for example, had its beauty somewhere deep inside, not visible to our eyes. Indie GameDev & Audiophile Checkout my Soundcloud page.

Altrue Exploration Frontier inc Brave Collective 1566	Posted - 2015.01.14 10:23:29 - [17] - Quote I'm not a fan of the front of the Exequror. Its texture is full of details but the 3D model is just flat. Its a bit underwhelming. Sadly that's a trend with new models : Blackbird, Exequror, Mordus, they all have little white dots, little things on their hull.. But it looks like a sticker on a plastic surface (like a toy) rather than an actual ship. Im my opinion, you'd be better off with less details in the texture (because at current max resolution they get pixelized very fast), and more details in the 3D model. Also, the chrome on the exequror isn't really pretty in my opinion. The navy exeq is where the model shines the most :) Signature Tanking - Best Tanking
Ruskarn Andedare Lion Investments 678	Posted - 2015.01.14 10:33:44 - [18] - Quote I tried to like the new Exequeror as it's a ship type I fly a fair bit but I can't seem to. It's overly symmetrical for me and just looks wrong from some angles, especially from the back, and there's something about the engines that isn't right now.
KusK62 Templar Di Mechanicus 0	Posted - 2015.01.14 11:09:53 - [19] - Quote To me it is the redesign of the engine department that makes me like the new Exequror more than the old one, the old one looked to tail heavy to me, whereas the new design is much more pleasing. Now i only wish for a reskin opportunity for the navy exequror, like maby a serpentis version, because space camo is not really me

We still do that Even if you do just make one half and mirror it, that just makes it easier to build a base model. Once that is done you just go back and start adding smaller additional pieces to the base you designed. You can do asymmetrical design with a symmetrical piece as your base.

FoxFire Ayderan 165	Posted - 2015.01.15 07:06:07 - [28] - Quote To be fair not all asymmetry in the ships is bad. The Catalyst comes to mind, which is a good looking ship despite being asymmetrical. As is the Myrmidon (which I guess still does have bi-lateral symmetry). It does come down to how it is done. Big bulgy things hanging off or growing out (like the Torax) or "missing limbs" (like the old Exequror) or broken limbs (like the Atron) or bent and crooked (like the Imicus) are NOT the right way to do asymmetry. In general people are going to be turned off from that. And as much as I otherwise like the look of Gallente ships, these bizarre design choices ruin them.

In general people are going to be turned off from that. And as much as I otherwise like the look of Gallente ships, these bizarre design choices ruin them. Unlike human faces, where we all -- arguably -- have some kind of baseline preference for certain appearance traits (symmetry being one of them; there have been a number of studies done that help explain why beauty is beauty), a predilection towards a certain style of car, or boat, or house, or... yes... spaceship is likely affected by any number of non-preprogramed life experiences, sensations, and simple, inexplicable want (the very intangible stuff that makes us human). The long and short of it is that this is outer space, and you could build a ship that looked like anything, ranging from this, to this, to this... to even something like this. And while some (or even all) of those designs might not be any particular person's cup of tea, physics being what they are, they could probably all be thrust through the void. What you see as 'bizarre design choices' are, for many of us, what gives the Gallente ships their character. The Gallente are arguably, far and away, the most artistic race in EVE. They almost hedonists when it comes to an over-the-top flair for the dramatic, the avant-garde, and, yes, the needless. There is expression even in the superfluous, and while I am sure that every little dangly bit and protruding nacelle probably serves some kind of purpose, the Gallente have chosen to put things where they are just because of function, but because, to them, form matters. (It matters to the Amarr, too, clearly... though they also follow a far more traditional design approach that involves more basal attempts to overawe and intimidate). If function ruled over all form, then every ship in eve would like either those of the Caldari or the Minmatar (and thank goodness they don't). Yes, I see a sleeker, more rugged, and arguably more battle-ready boat in the new Exequror. But I also see a ship that lost a lot of what made it a very cool and exceedingly unique part of this little universe. The new Exequror is something more than what it once was, but also something less... and that's not a happy thing. It really makes me worry about changes to other 'scorned-but-beloved' Gallente ships like the Imicus, the Thorax, and the ever-present Dominix. I welcome very much improvements to the models. I view with increasing fret changes so dramatic that they destroy the identity of the very thing they are trying to upgrade.
