I love my Prowler and I used to love the circling blue light effect in the middle of the ship. I mostly like the graphics premium content but now my shiny lights are gone! I miss my blue circling "drive" lights! Why were these very cool visuals removed? Not an upgrade in my mind.

The Prowler is a Blockade Runner. It is a ship designed to either sneak around blockades or try to punch through them at speed. Either scenario would be highly inconvenienced by the presence of large flashing lights. I like the new appearance of the Prowler. It fits its purpose better.
The RL equivalent to the 'classic' Prowler would be drugs smugglers conducting their operations with a bright red, rocket-propelled Goodyear Blimp. That's also towing a helium-inflated blinking arrow emblazoned with "HELLO!!!"

For about the millionth time, stop getting your reality in my cool gameplay.
I, too, wonder about the Prowler. It doesn't look nearly as good as it once did. I assume this is an oversight that will get fixed in the future. ---

I'll do that once you stop your ego interfering with my flight path. If you like the old model so much, switch to classic graphics when you haul. See? Problem solved as glibly as you shot off your response.

I don't see the Prowler about sneaking. If it was it would be optimized for cloaking. It is about running blockades being hard to warp scramble and target. I liked to think of the blue lights as some sort of anti-warp scramble thingy. At any rate, it is definitely not as cool to look at. I hope it gets fixed.

Your explanation while "real" is lame retconing. Stop being antagonistic. The OP posted a legit question about a ship that he happens to like. My ego couldn't possibly be in your flight path as yours seems to take up the entire universe.
I have switched back to the classic graphics. Thanks for the helpful advice.

I respect the fact that you have an opinion incompatible with my own regarding the mirroring of reality in a game. Why can't you do the same? What business do you have telling people to keep their opinions out of "your" game-play? Is it not just as much ours?

The premium graphics models eliminated a lot of ships "cool features".
The Viator and Revelation lost their headlights, the Prowler lost its mojo, the Eos not only lost heavy drones but more importantly its waggly chin thing...
There are other losses too.  --

My vengeance lost its spinny blue things too
I'm hoping the tech2 ships will get some of their goodies back... I love the new graphics but Tech 2 should be more than just a color change.

Yeah, but the Viator got great big enourmous kick-arse engines added to it. Now it really looks like it should be able to do the 2500m/s that it can, I love it.

Feel free to submit bug reports about this sort of stuff. Remember that all the artists do is try to make the game look better so no bug report is too minor when it comes to the graphics. -sgeir (the art director) promised me that we will be going back over some of the models to make them look even better.

So... I'm allowed to file a bug report about removing the ominous hissing sound that came from the pre-trinity deimos when it exited warp? Cause quite frankly, that sound made me happy. In my pants.

I will do - I had assumed this would be inappropriate so I hadn't before. Thanks for the heads up.

I, too, miss my Astro-Train.
I play classic, just because I like the Minnie models better.

I have also noticed the Minnie sentry gate-guns lost the similar swirly-blue effect on them, and the Amarr sentry gate-guns also seem to have their former spinning cladding, either.
My R.N.I. looks like a normal Raven now. I for one can no longer see my giant external missile launchers of doom. This makes me sad. Also certain Caldari T2 ships seem to have the old T1 paint job, and have lost the previous "navy" dark metal with chrome-yellow service stripe.
Though, I admit the Falcon no longer looks dressed up enough to party hard all night at a Rave. Being a Caldari Recon cruiser pilot, I'm glad.
Oh, and the Machariel grew whiskers.
