Those are all absolutely gorgeous!
IMO, the thrasher has a pretty up to date look and did not need much work, unlike some other Minmatar ships, that haven't aged well - like the Vigil or the Rupture (as iconic as it is, the model's age has been made even more apparent by the new shaders).
Awesome work! Keep it up! |

Redesigns good, except the Thrasher. Its model is one of the better looking, despite its age, and it fits nicely with all the new models already redesigned. There are a lot of ships that need the treatment much more urgently (Imicus/Helios, Celestis/T2Variants or Bellicose/T2Variants, if you wanna stick to Minmatar). |

The new Minmatar designs are a big improvement on the current ones, except for the trasher. You need to start over on that one. |

The Thrasher is iconic, and is already one of the best looking ships in the game. The 'gills', frontal profile, etc... are very reminiscent of a shark or a piranha or something else aquatic and predatory. You get the idea. I'm not opposed to tweaking the model, but it ought to retain the essential character. The proposed redesign looks like you fired magnet through a scrapyard. Even the junkiest looking Minmatar ships still look engineered.
edit: except the Burst, but 'looks more like the Burst' is not a positive commentary on something's appearance. |

Unless you are planning to give us a patch where we can land on a planet's surface then you don't need to make every ship look like an aeroplane / glider. (Stilletto, Probe and Hecate)
The thrasher design is needlessly complex.

No mention of the suggested griffin model from the community?
Be careful with the probe, it looks close to the reaper
Be careful with the thrasher, its a bit too caldari-like.

The WIP painted thrasher looks great. The re-imagining feels as bold and risky as Minmatar should feel. I like the direction Minmatar is slowly taking on with highly varied hulls. So many little details to look at and pour over. |

Dominix: Looking gorgeous, get it rolled out. Stiletto: Really like it, it still looks like the same ship, just sleeker and meaner. Probe: Love the extra detail on the little dinghy.
Thrasher: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. That's a Caldari vessel. Stop with the damn pointy bits and antennas every fricking where. The Thrasher is a mean looking thing with gills, a sloped forehead and a front spike. Those are way, way, way too out of the Minmatar meme. The Stiletto and Probe still look like themselves, just enhanced. Focus on that. ENHANCE the Thrasher. Don't remake it into something it isn't. You can make the Sabre a bit fancier, but don't get ridiculous.

Not loving the direction you want to take the Minmatar ships in, not at all. The Probe redesign looks way too much like the Reaper rookie ship and what the heck are those big wings on the Stiletto? As for the Thrasher concepts...no, please just no.
Please try to create an overall design theme for Minmatar and not just, as another poster put it, Caldari with wingy bits pasted everywhere.

Dominix redesign is good. You know what would be really good though?
Adding a skin for the Domi to make it look like the infested drone version. Because that would be so awesome, I would throw money at you the moment it came out.
Adding a vote to "please don't use that new thrasher model". The problem with it is that it's simply too busy. As noted before, it has enough sections to make sense as a model for a larger ship. At the levels of zoom people are often using to look at ships, it won't have a distinct shape the way the current one does, it'll just be a pile of messy polygons. Consider that many frigates and destroyers currently have quite distinct and interesting silhouettes even when zoomed fairly far out. This new thrasher model won't have thatGǪ well it kind of will, it'll be the messy pile that doesn't look like anything in particular.
I think staying closer to the existing model would not only make the sentimental people happy, it would make the ship look less like an accident in a cardboard box factory.

Have you flown a Domi? They are slower than snot off a vacuum-frozen corpse... but that's ok given their drone-boat role. They don't need to be nimble. The update very nicely accentuates the ship's lines while retaining the classic profile. Less potato but still recognizable as a Dominix.
I really like the Minnie updates to the probe and stiletto, but agree with those saying the thrasher lacks the original's menacing feel. IMO, this update looks more like an EW platform vs. a thrasher coming to light you up.

First, I agree w/ previous. Domi, Stiletto, Probe good. The Thrasher is a mess. I hope that's you throwing us a bone, so the community can feel we actually contributed.
Second, I will say is I hope somebody keeps track of consistency within race and difference between races other than the color coding. If a ship looks like it could be any arbitrary race (keyword: crucifier), then what's the point.
Lastly, I am not a fan of the recent symmetry and starwarsi-/startrekization initiatives that characterize many of the recent designs. Ships used to be quirkily different from other games, and that was better so. And yes, I do want my old Fleet Phoon back, oh, and the Tristan. Thank you. |

I'm on the fence with the Thrasher, it's not "terrible" but I feel there's better ways to do it.
On that note: years ago someone made a new look for the Tempest and to this day that thing haunts me, no longer the whole "scaffolding" look but very sleek and focussed, a very strong design language. As we have a new art director and as they're redoing Minmatar, please check this out and see if something like that (not just for the Tempest but for Minmatar as a whole) would be an option. |

Love the new look for the Domi, Stiletto, and Probe, the profile on the new Thrasher looks weird and most of the concepts for it look way too blocky and actually looks a bit more like a Caldari ship than a Minmatar one. It could use a visual upgrade but you should try and keep more of the current profile similar to the Dominix rework instead of overhauling the look so extensively.
The Stiletto and Probe on the other hand are amazing and I can't wait to fly them, the Minmatar frigates and cruisers have needed a visual overhaul for a long time and I am happy that they are finally getting the attention that they deserve. I can't wait to see more like these. |

Sorry, I hate the Stiletto. I fly them often, and already like how they look, which is like a mosquito (with double wings like a dragonfly). The new one looks more like a single wing dragonfly.
The domi looks amazing, and I'm mixed on the thrasher. |

Why are you redesigning ships that don't need to be redesigned?
Domi? Fair enough Stilleto? Fair enough Thrasher? NO! THRASHER IS FINE! Osprey - in dire need of a redesign Atron - in dire need of a redesign
Its a fine design on its own, but if you have to use it for something, use it for the Talwar, not the Thrasher |

Anyways, Farewell and o7 CCP Huskarl and Good Luck with your new position CCP J+¦rg!

Fly almost exclusively Minmatar, so I am happy to see them get the same attention I thought that the only the caldari were getting. I do like bold new look, as your putting it, however I do think that thrasher design would be wasted on the thrasher itself. The thrasher is fine as is, maybe could use a bit of polish, but not all that. What SHOULD be artistically redone, in my opinion, are Rupture, Scythe, and Burst.
FRankly, the celestis and imicus need more attention as well before the thrasher, but strictaly Minmatar, the Rupture has needed a redesign for a long time, the likes of what he Moa went through , vaguely keep the brick shape, but shine that sucka up PLEASE. Lastly, as one of my fav solo pvp ships, the scythe fleet issue, or ,scythe in general, could use a better design. Those exposed pipes along side it's backbone have always bugged me. Thrashers fine, fix these ones first! |

Oh god as much as i love the design path you're taking please, please, please, do not cut Thrasher's head. The overall is really nice, but why did you chop off its head ? Picture B of Variation exploration is much more better than the one in the redesign picture. Give its head back ! xD
I was hopping you would re-design the Basilisk soon though. :( |

Thank you very much for your great work CCP Huskarl und my best wishes for you future! o7
Congratulations CCP J+¦rg and good luck at your new task.
As Minmatar Fan I am very interested in the new Minmatar designs. The new Stilettor looks ... very interresing. I am not sure what I should think about the new Probe. This design looks more like a redesigned Reaper rookie ship. No big iconic sail. I am very skeptical.
The new Thrasher - NO WAY! Where is the brawny and bulky appearance? Where are the iconic shark gills like solar panels? Too much thiny angled details ... No, i don't like the new concepts at all. |

I really like the current design of the Thrasher, but the redesign is generally good too. One pet peeve though, there's nothing less high-tech looking than sci-fi ships with bell nozzles styled like the Space Shuttle's Main Engines. Those things were designed in the 1970s to function at sea level and in vacuum, and they look it. Eve Online's rectangular engine housings look much better (and more futuristic!) for the game's aesthetic, in large part because the nature of their functionality isn't immediately clear. Space Shuttle engines, which are a known technology, aren't a good fit for New Eden. |

If you're gonna redo the thrasher use one of these concepts http://cdn1.eveonline.com/www/newssystem/media/67315/1/75_THRASHER_VARIANTS.jpg
The rest barely even look Minmatar.
