No new models for these new T2 ships.
As an inventor, with invention component prices skyrocketting, and copy queues being as full as they are, I can't afford to pick up another billion+ isk battleship BPO and setup a whole new production line just because people want to look at different polygons.
Changing out for a new hull would mess up everything. You want these ships asap after Rev 3 goes live, they need to stay as existing hulls.

Then again you are getting the ability to choose what you invent so its not all bad Though the lachesis is about to go up in value.

The bit that stood out most for me in this topic is the claim of CCP throwing millions into eve TV.
If the OP had any clue about film and tv prodcution, h would be able to tell that EVE-Tv is far from a 100k budget let alone 1mill. ______________________________ A Request About Lag Discussion -- Yet another "Edit my sig devs!" request \o/ |

Sorry but I kinda agree!
Just using an old model repainted is very drab indeed.
The Models should be SLIGHTLY different at least I mean cmon! Its just laziness really, even with cars which use same chasis have a different body styles even if its just a bit of trim!
I know that with lag and poor client performance they want to avoid adding models but I REALLY would have thought that as part of Trinity 2 there would have been more tollerance for this.
It just seems to me that this "need for speed" initiative is restricting some basic creativity... this IS Sc-Fi after all

A condor is a requirement for building a crow.
The crow has a similar slot lay out, similar but improved stats, and additional bonuses.
It also has a fat rack of launchers strapped to it's back.
This is a prime example of t2. A t2 blueprint does not make a new ship. It "pimps" a t1 ship. It's a conversion, the extra parts and minerals are needed for the replacement and additional parts most of which are internal, though some (like the Eos' chin and the crows back) show heavy external modification. Once done pimpin' a new lick of paint is applied, so all the chicks don't mistake your flash new ship (with 1600mm rims, bucket pod fastenings, and of course fluffy dice) for a standard issue.
Since t2 ships aren't new ships, why would they have new models?
I could understand a desire for more visible pimpin' but they do have to leave room for t3 (and 4 and 5) which will probably mean taking a t2 upgraded ship and adding even more to it.
New models are for new ships, and only t1 (and some faction, though most of those are navy or pirate altered t1 vessels) ships are in fact new. If they create a new tier of t1 ships (or even a new class) you'll see four completely new ships, anything else would just be creating new models for old ships... which strikes me as pointless.

well I've been reading the eve art book, and I've read comments about the art team not liking the the old ship models, and I've look and orgasmed at the new burst.

I assure you no urine is being absconded with.
By a process of elimination that leaves 2.
Seriously though I love the Caldari design practicality and lethality before symmetry. They got a smart industrial-military no-nonsense look, the lack of symmetrys add to the effect.
"Hey Mick isn't this design meant to be like... symmetrical?" "It's not?" "No." "Still works, right?" "Yup." "Then we'll slap some extra launcher slots on the lighter end."
Ever wonder why the Scorp is missing a wing? Because even after pulling segments off a Caldari ship the mass is still too darn high.

So when the ship turns and there's a slight pico-second glitch in the CPU, and the ship rips itself in half because it couldn't balance the thrust along the center of gravity, you're fine with that?
I used to get It. Then It changed. Now I don't even know what It is.

Centre of what now? Mass perhaps?
Of course, this happens to me all the time.
Except that the thrust from Caldari engines is hardly enough to tear a pretzel in half let alone a starship. 
Technical Explanation: Caldari graviton doodads do funny things to mass and how it (and therefore thrust) is spread throughout the ship. Such space-time warping tom-foolery is also responsible for the immense mass of Caldari ships... typically the smallest amongst their counterparts. Also no-one wants the main engines next to the shield generator... the guy from Ishukone Support said I shouldn't even be using my waffle iron near there.

Gravity? Mass? It's all in how you express the equation.
But I give you props for use of a waffle iron.
Good on you!

But you can't change BB, you can't make it... *gulp*... symetric! It will pose the ECM projecting modifiers too close to capacitor circuts, causing a Ishikura-Gallon effect, that will negatively...

well i agree to some point. t2 ships could be a litlle difrent, as something is added to the t1 hull i would exspect to see some more stuff on the t2 version. like more guns a bit bigger/smaller an extra radar og some cool animation like on the mining capital.. just something really... OMFG
I am the widowmaker stay tuned.

That won't happen, the Moa is simply beyond help hell the designer of the Moa committed suicide shortly after. A post-it note was found on the body later just saying "I'm sorry." ------------

Originally by: General Cane Hey hoo,
is it sooo damn hard to create a handfull new models for new ships in the game? cmon ccp... "ouhh our players are bored, let adjust some stats of this ship and paint it pink! yarr" ... "ouhhh blackops battleships... hmmm ah just take some old standard hull"
Same with the damn commandships... seems all you can do is to change colors on existing models (or replace the texture whatever).
Dear CCP, you pushed out millions for this useless EVE-TV, what about invest just a little piece of this money in some design guys, for a 3d guy it really isnt this hard to create some **** spaceship model.
Tons of Ships there but allways the same damn models, you call this creative? bah
You call this well thought through? bah!
Shut Up ... seriously.
Get a clue, or maybe two and abstain from posting for the next ..... well... how about 2 years? Please? Pretty Please?

You dont really know anything about spaceship engineering do you? 
Originally by: Daelin Blackleaf I could understand a desire for more visible pimpin' but they do have to leave room for t3 (and 4 and 5) which will probably mean taking a t2 upgraded ship and adding even more to it.
And this is the point really, isnt it?... according to your logic tech 3 ships will be the same again.... but a different colour, and tech 4 ships... same again, different colour!..
So what your really saying is that CCP doesnt ever need to create any new models ever again? we are to be looking at the same shape dominix for now and forever? Is this actually how the creative human mind works?
Whenever humans create new versions of anything it gets a completly new look, Imagine if FORD kept the same SHELL design for its mondeo and subsequent models?
Ok maybe you dont want to compare actual human designs, look at any Sci-fi program.. say Startrek!.. Every time they create a new enterprise.. it looks similar to the old version and yet different!
Look all we are asking for is a bit more trim... a bit of flashing, an extra module stuck on, a spoiler!... ANYTHING! Just not the same damn thing over and over again...
There is only so much you can do with colour!

I'm going to throw my alt-hat in with the 'Not a big deal' crowd.
If CCP starts reusing artwork for entirely new classes/tiers, then yeah, I'll be annoyed. But ships that are essentially remodels of an original do not need to look drastically different than what they're based on.

I take a Ford Mustang and some modification design specs. Using these and the parts specified I replace the transmission, the engine, add a supercharger, change the chip, and paint it in metallic black. It's still a Ford Mustang... it's a "t2" Ford Mustang.

Did they take the NCC-1701-D and modify it to make the NCC-1701-E? No the E class was a completely different ship... sure it looked similar, but you can rest assured it's build components didn't call for "1x NCC-1701-D."

Yes, that is what WE are asking for, though in many cases it is what we already have.
