take a look

the promised eye candy

the final blow

I am disgusted
another one ?

the rusted vador's ship

not that bad... but ... less stealthy

and so on ...

Dark & silver, beautiful

I'm a man who loves man, flying in a ship like me.

a last failure from the "art" department

the old warmachine

the promised bad ass in an east-european navy camo

yay ! hotwheels !

I am putting myself in the state of mind of accepting the following (adapt or die):
Myrmidon nerf: done the wrong way, should have been 2x less turrets, or 100 Mbit bandwidth ... well, there is still the Ishtar.
EOS multi-nerf: way overdone, made ship quite useless, except for a command ship role nobody is interested in ... well, I can still fly the Astarte.
Drone scoop nerf: illogical, what is the point of a "drone bay" if it cannot even recharge the damn buggers and perform basic maintenance?
We could as well deploy drones from our cargo bay, then. Oh well, I will use less drone ships, and more blaster ones.
Damps and TDs nerf: ECM will reign even more supreme = less variety in gang fights. Oh well, will reprocess all Celestis class ships and train for Falcon/Rook instead.

But, for the love of God: CCP, please give us the old Hyperion, Myrmidon and Brutix back. We like them DARK, we like those aquamarine blue porthole lights (that is all the blue/green reference to Gallente colors we need, honestly).
Light grey + baby blue textures, in combination with washed out white portholes lights is a no-no. This is becoming a fleet of Hello Kitty's.
The new textures are HORRIBLE, the resolution is actually lower than with the old models (check portholes in Brutix or Hyperion in Trinity at max settings, and now on TQ). With all due respect, how on earth can that be seen as "improving the quality of the ship models"? You have utterly ruined the few ship models that were already pretty good looking in the old engine.
The new Celestis is one of the ugliest ships I have ever seen in any videogame. It is not like it was a beauty before, but you manage to make it look even worse.
The Trinity preview models shown previously looked way darker, and way more detailed (similar as in the above comparison between Brutix models).

Some of the new Gallente models look great, like the new Mega and Thorax. However, only with the textures used for the Navy Mega/Vindicator and Deimos/Phobos/Vigilant, standard Mega and Thorax are way too light.

Cheers, Xeno
