Pics of all 4
I know that without textures there's imagination required but at least the models are clear.
I'll give 'em:
1 Impairor 9/10 - has the cool factor 2 Ibis 8/10 - looking like a mini tengu, nice 3 Velator 7/10 - classic 4 Reaper 0/10 - bonk
I hope this scaffolding mess isn't the sign of things to come, it certainly won't make a good first impression on players. Something like the merc ship from Chronicles of Riddick would be much more fitting.

I don't like any of them.
They're far too good and smooth for noob ships.
The Velator doesn't look Gallentean, and the Ibis looks far too advanced. |

Velator reminds me of the derelict ship in the first Alien movie - also in new Prometheus film.
Amarr one looks like a cleaned up version of current ship - not a bad thing. |

As someone commented earlier on, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. As such, the noobships are more important than most people realize. An older player creating an alt will get out of the ship asap, but a brand new player will actually spend more time in it than most people think.
The Impairor is essentially unchanged. Some bits in the back are changed but its apperance is essentially the same. Which is OK, as the Imparor is the coolest looking noobship currently. 9/10.
The Ibis is cool. It has a mini-tengu/mini hookbill feel to it, looks modern. 10/10.
The Velator... meh. They have kept the old basic shape while upgrading some of it. I say throw it out and start from scratch, creating a brand new model. 3/10.
And finally, the Reaper. No, that will not do at all. They have just "solidified" the existing absolutely crappy model. Throw it out, try again. 0/10. |

The new ibis looks like the flipper baby of the Tengu and Hookbill and that is pretty great but update the ships that matter first. Frequent squinting even in low light? You may be showing early signs of Brock Eye Syndrome. Talk to your doctor today. |

Ibis = 10 (Baby Tengu)\
Impairor = 8 (Looks sort of the same as the old one but the old one looks good)
Velator = 6 (Not bad, sleek but not great)
Reaper = 5 (Average)
I like them all though by comparison to the old ones. I am both happy and impressed.

Impairor: 9/10, gj on not ******* up the already decent-looking ship Ibis: 3/10, looks like a mini Tengu, NOT nice. What, is it a Sleeper frigate? A T3 noobship? Not at all like the Caldari T1 line up, even disregarding the uglies like the Moa. Velator: 2/10, just lol and not very Gallente-like, a bigger fail than the Ibis Reaper: 3/10, doesn't look very Minmatar, way too rounded and pretty fug
Noob ship artists, plz to be looking at the game a little and working noobships into each race's T1 line up, excluding all the fug ships from consideration. The color is not the only thing that matters. Also, no one gives a crap about noobships, fix real ships first before wasting time on ships that don't matter all that much. New players don't spend all that long in noobships, I promise. |

Pretty much everyone who isn't a new player? And even then, they get their first frigate free of charge after doing a couple basic tutorial missions.
If they are going to put resources into remodeling and retexturing ships, it would be better spent on ships that see the most use. They did a fantastic job on the Scorpion, Raven and Maller.

Nice remodelling, but too bad that in a few days the rookies will have to go to the ugly line of the T1 frigates. They will be disappointed. |

The Impairer and Ibis look really fantastic. The Reaper looks ok but the Velator looks terrible. I would love to see some iteration on those two. I'd love to see textures even more though.

So did I. But I still kept my Ibis around for quite some time after I started the game. |

I got my first Atron within the first few hours of playing from my tutorial agent. Never touched my Velator again.
The old velator looked ok, I don't really see the point in this. |

Same, but it was sitting in the station collecting dust while I was tearing it up in a Condor ect. Frequent squinting even in low light? You may be showing early signs of Brock Eye Syndrome. Talk to your doctor today. |

It seems closer to the new slightly sharper Talos than the older bulbous ships in style.
If all ships are eventually getting a makeover, is this a good direction to be heading in?
Thread seems generally consistent so far with Amarr and Caldari coming out of this well, others not so.
I'm assuming the general reveal of Min/Amarr V3 and updated models will be fanfest at the earliest. Tornado filled me with confidence, new reaper has taken that confidence away |

Well if you look at some V3-ed caldari and amarr models (Moa, Apocalypse) , you will notice that CCP has removed all x-shaped placeholders for reinforcing bars, antennas and other stuff with transparent background. I think there is technical difficulties behind this and honestly I'm little bit worried while awaiting other winmatar ship changes |

I honestly see absolutely no difference between the current impairor and the new one. Seriously, it's the exact same model/skin/details. Either they thought it was already perfect, or the art guy was really freaking lazy.
As for the others, they all look ok, the caldari one does look tech 3 I must admit. |

Interesting - losing the possibility to have antennae will be missed on the mastodon etc. but at least the vagabond should be helped by this!
Original Maelstrom and Cane concept art had wingy bits like the Tornado, solid and metallic rather than glassy. Maelstrom was wing heavy even then but lack of glassy effect works. |

I just wonder why The Mittani is so obsessed with how do look the ships the player will fly for the first 4 hours and never again touch them with a ten feet pole.
Also, the Impairor already is one of the coolest looking ships ingame, it doesn't need anything further than V3 it. EVE residents: 5% Wormholes; 8% Lowsec; 20% Nullsec; 67% Highsec. CSM 6: 100% Nullsec residents.
EVE demographics vs CSM demographics, nothing to worry about...-á |
