CCP is doing an amazing job on new ship designs, however several ships in game still look like they originated in Chernobyl. I was curious as to what ship models they might be remaking this year, so I felt like asking everyone here what gives you eyesores when it comes to the out-dated ship designs still creeping around. This is one that should really be in game at some point in the future:
http://www.evemanufacturing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/dominix-fanfest-redesign.png
Here's my list of ships that need rethinking in the looks department as well as my thoughts on them:
Frigates:
GÇó BANTAM (No Seriously)
GÇó IMICUS (My 4yo cousin's toys look less telletubbyish than this ship)
GÇó Griffin (Doesn't exactly look like a flying jamming device)
GÇó Navitas (No fish in EvE)
GÇó Slasher (Less robomoth meets metal detector & more tyrfing [FB] meets Valkyrie [drone]
GÇó Burst !! Just flip it on its side & add a new pilot deck CCP!! Mini tempest style = perfect!!
Cruisers
GÇó BELLICOSE (Needs a whole new look, can't salvage any of that contraption)
GÇó Scythe (Boring, could be much cooler as a smaller tornado-ish design that looks like a scythe)
GÇó Rupture ( it's a cardboard box)
GÇó Caracal (keep the engines they're fine)
GÇó Vexor (hasn't really changed in looks since like 2004)
GÇó Osprey (it's arms are trying to do the tango)
Others
GÇó Archon (Flip the stretched turtle shell on top of the center landing strip and bam! Super giant Providence [freighter]

As of yet not in the game ship. I want new stuff not the hammering of the stuff we have 'til it's dead. Some ships should not be changed.. it doesn't matter if they are ugly.. ships are not all designed the same way and ugliness should be allowed. but let's not wreck anything else please.

While I'm all for new ships, barring that I certainly won't object to occasional redesigns of existing ships. It's probably a lot easier than introducing a new ship that has to be balanced.

No no NO. No. Stop with the new ships.
We don't need any more NEW SHIPS.
CCP doesn't balance the ships we already have.

I agree with everyone off your toughts on ship redesigns except for the slasher  and the archon. (no capital redesigns needed really)
Some other ships that could use a make-over:
Armageddon - tho it looks good, it should be the next battleship redesign after the Dominix. Also we might get that Bhaalgorn a special new look.
Atron - Something like this
Celestis - looks weird, nuff said.
Cormorant - needs a new look
Breacher - looks far too fragile |

I know people are touchy about capitals, but in all honesty if people fly caps its gonna be due to their bonuses/ fitting/ and stat distribution.. a change in the ship model of just 1 supercarrier would have 0 ill effect on anything i would bet. Null Fleet combat could have teddybears instead of ships as long as they do their job, plus everyone's usually zoomed out anyway.
i felt that i had to mention the archon though because it simply never gave me (and i assume some others can agree) that wow factor in a supercapital that need so much group logistical support to operate.. it should be visually motivating to some degree and not a sad representation of amarrian brilliance mastering armor, its like literally 1/2 of a ship lol

The archon is a regular cap. The Aeon is a supercap, that looks half finished.
I think archon looks fine. Aeon looks alil derpy though.

I agree with the sentiment on the breacher, aka the flying radio antenna. Since we need a new minmatar stealth bomber anyway, I'd settle for swapping out for the hound hull. The vigil looks more like an exploration hull than the probe does. More wings, auxiliary thrusters and antennae all around.
Since all the main lines have two attack frigates now, it'd be nice if we could divvy up the T2 AFs amongst them. The retribution should really be based on the tormentor, the hawk should be based on the kestrel, the ishkur should be based on the tristan and the jaguar probably needs to be put through a compactor until it some kind of usable missile boat emerges.
We definitely don't need a new lines of T2 logi frigates till we get a bantam update. That poor thing is just sorrowful.

would love to see something similar to the old scorp hull
(not the exact same ofc) but i did feel it fit the black ops look better than the current one
or more robust engines on the lot to reflect the jump drives they have strapped on to their subcap hull

The Dominix is still coming! It got delayed to make space for other projects, including the T3 tactical destroyers and our various shading and texturing updates, but nobody's forgotten it. Other redesigns are also in progress.

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

Thank you for the post, I am very happy to hear that it wasnt forgotten. I know designs can be challenging and i wanted to throw this simple idea out there, while the Minmatar Burst may be a minor ship to people, it was my only ship i had back in 2010 when i began seeing how big EvE was, i flew that thing for hours everywhere being such a newb. however these days if its in front of me ill use it to zip around, maybe try out the new role it has. Time & time again I become more certain that this little guy was meant to be vertical, nothing altered except maybe 1 thruster & a new control deck on the side and boom! you have a mini Tempest. That would be easy as pie and makes it 200 times more minmatar.. anyway just my 2 cents on that.. I hope it gets somewhere.

I was about to say that the Chimera doesn't need a redesign as much as some other, much uglier things (:cough: osprey :cough:) but that one looks quite nice and keeps the current style of the hull.
Also, my two cents on ugly ships:
- Osprey. It looks like a bloated insect.
- The thorax line could be made symetrical and lose the funky bottom engine as has been pointed out.
- The blops line could benefit from a rework to differentiate them more from their T1 counterparts, just like bombers look quite different from their base hulls.
- Some T3 configurations are uglier than sin, but I guess somebody likes them.
- The Golem. Just... why? I'm still bitter that just as I trained into marauders it got caught under a steamroller and flattened |

i wouldn't mind the caracals getting "buffier" looking while still keeping in line with their profil, (not a ban of their anorexic profile)
The osprey is another one, it was ok when it was a mining ship, but a change to a military support vessel make it's profile just weird, some asymetrical with a spartan design would be nice.
and i only really fly caldari ships, so ihave no opinions on the other factions |

I can't believe the Arazu hasn't been mentioned. ATM it looks like a tumor. Evidence for my tumor-claim: A wild tumor appeared! This is way worse than the bellicose, caracal etc. IMO that have been mentioned.
Also aside from redesigns - on Gallente ships in general I have this to say: 1995 called, they want their textures back. I think the Gallente textures really need some love. The amarr ones look fantastic under PBR but the gallente cruisers are all rusty now.
I know CCP mentioned it immediately after the release of PBR, but since then I've seen no mention of updating the gallente textures so they don't look so rusty and outdated. |
