A guy called Guard and some guys with cameras made a video about the redesign of all four Rookie Ships and the process the ships have to go through to make it into the game. Then the guy wrote a little dev blog with some cool pictures to go along with it.
Check it out here! CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |

Wonder why you would blur out one of the cards on the wall at the beginning. Bit moot since you forgot to blur it out before CCP Guard starts talking. I think it says "Bomb" for those that are wondering.

Beautiful, beautiful ships. Quite possibly my favorite part though: official Places Where Things Go! No more zooming in to my ibis to wonder idly whether that little door-looking thing is a cargo hatch, a drone bay, or if one of the asset guys just had a cold that day. No, now we have schematics! |

Yes the Reaper always had a vertical "solar-fin" CCP just added a second one, honestly I have mixed feeling on the ship. Over all I like the design of the ship but it looks sturdier then the original and more symmetrical, I personally feel that when I player get's their first Minmatar ship they should fully understand how much duck take was used to keep the ship flying.
The Reaper concept looks like a joint effort between Gallente and Minmatar to redesign the old ship (nothing wrong with that as I like the concept.) |

Ibis looks a little Gallente-ish, I like the design a lot though.
The impairor is super creative. I've never seen an amarr design like that before.
As much as I don't want to, I really like the new Reaper. Partially because with the original reaper I remember thinking "wtf is this" the first time I logged on. I'm sure I still have the actual chat log somewhere that says something to that effect.
Velator design is smart, because it always did look OK, but now it'll look cleaner. It does look slightly sturdier than I'd expect from Gallente.
Edit: yeah... taking another look a them, I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to find an epic pvp fit for the ibis now. |

Please let this be true...
I'm not really on board with the complete redesign of the Ibis. Though, if the model re-configures/deploys (like the new turrets), it would be worth it. I like how the new turrets make ships feel a little more "alive", more of this is good in my book.

I definitely spotted a sign that says "HEAVY" and one "HEAVY ASSAULT" the blurred one may be "BOMB" the one right beside the bomb one could maybe mean "CITADEL"

Although I recognise the need to update art assets and maintain a consistent look & feel I am a little sad to lose the classic ship designs (I still prefer the old Scorpion for example).
I also think that the new look ships can sometimes collide with their flavour text (whats going to happen when the old warhorse that is the Dominix is redesigned?)
How about adding just a small addendum to this text on the re-done ships, something like "Redesigned in YC113"? |

The new Ibis is not enough square-ish to be a Caldari.
The new Reaper is not enough scrap-and-tape looking, with frail looking fins and sails and jutting metal frames to be a Minmatar.
The new Velator is not organic/roundish enough to be a Gallente.
But overall, very good job.
The new (v3, from Strat Cruisers onward) art dep't has a feeling totally distinct from the Trinity (v2) one. It's cooler, mind you, but loses a bit of the original, weird-in-a-wicked-sense flavor.

So, this video does actually confirm that physical launcher modules are being made. =)
You can see "Siege" "Citadel" "Bomb"(blurred) "Assault" "Heavy Assault" and "Heavy" on the wall, two notes in a very early production stage (one probably means "Rocket") are unfortunately unreadable because the camera moves.
Additionally, the bombers are also being redesigned, probably to solve the "battleship-launchers on frigs"-problem, along with Punisher, Rifter, Heron, Atron and Imicus.
On the shader-side, Amarr bc and bs, along with old-Impairor are in an advanced design stage (although the Apoc and Impairor are already on TQ)
And we might get new missile-sounds.
And if I'm correct and the ships on the notes face to the right for shaders and to the left for model redesign, we might see a new drake soon(TM)

I was very critical of the new Reaper when I first saw it. The textures improve it but I have a fundamental issue with the disjointed random design, could have been so much better. Even the devblog shows that the love went into the Caldari and Amarr ships.
People seem to be hating the Gallente ship - that one's growing on me.
Maybe we shouldn't get the rookie ship of our character when we dock in a pod - this should be the rookie ship of the station |

Stop polluting our belowed minmatar ship line with caldari design. The Maelstrom for example is really caldarish, and this new reaper looks like it' is caldari, just it's brown instead of blue... But where is the rust? The duct tape? It seems too polished.
Minmatar ships should be 'ugly', because their ugliness is what make them look more menacing.
Moreover, the velator should be more curvy. |

Also the reaper still looks silly when you put lasers on it since they fold back inside the hull. Skye Aurora is a 7 year old Girl Who Wants to be on the CSM!

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not quick to complement CCP recently, but this video was well-produced. Instead of the usual executive sh!t heads sitting in an interview chair spouting more bullsh!t, you have a good mix of employees doing their jobs. This is an excellent means for humanizing CCP.
Also: You might want to burn those EXCELLENCE t-shirts as seen here at 0:42. The Excellence campaign wasn't very excellent at all.

Tbh I never cared how my rookie ship looked like, not even on my first day in EVE. Everyone who has ever played Quake or really any other game knows that the free weapon you get when you spawn sucks and you better get something real, and quick.
Still, they look nice. |

I hope we get enough warning about the assets patch before it arrives, so I can stock up on the amount of alcohol that will be required to drown my sorrows.
Goodbye, beautiful Velator design. Hello, Caldari-fied Velator design. In my mind, Gallente are about curves.
Goodby, beautiful Reaper design, Hello, Caldari-fied Reaper design. In my mind, Minmatar are about shoving the essential bits together to make a ship that does what you want, and nothing more. No fancy casings, no decorative armour plate, no curves where they don't contribute to functionality.
And the Drake? It will be different, and I'll have to drink to forget what it used to look like :)
So much drinking. So little time.
I, personally, welcome our V3 design overlords.

Don't be fooled by that sketch of the Reaper on the blog page; that angle almost makes it look mostly symmetrical (and therefore awesome) but the actual model is still a lopsided, side-car lookin' thing. Everything else looks great tho. |

Suggestion:
When you deploy the new eve website with ship previews, have an option to see the old ship models to include changes to the model, textures, and shaders.
It would be interesting to see how the Ibis of today compares with the original Ibis, for example. |

Hate to burst your bubble, but rookie ships don't really present anything memorable. Sure, you'll get a major use out of it running through the first tutorial .... and that's about it.
One of the core appeals that pulls players into the game are the ability to customize their own upgrades - there's already a sheer choice and variations out there. Have you guys actually measured the avg time that genuine new players spend in their rookie ships? Consider this, having an ugly rookie ships will spur many players to "upgrade" as soon as possible. You've then succeded in getting the players to interact and immerse themselves into the game, out of sheer necessity for better aesthetics.
Plan things with more substance. This is just wasteful *shiny* fluff.

There is something I don't get... when I started this character, I flew the rookie ship for like 1 hour, then gleefully shifted to the much better regular T1 stuff the NPE supplied me through tutorials.
Also, when i started my first character ever, back in October 2010, I quickly fled the almost useless noobship i kept losing over and over (even if it was free). I have a much fonder memory of my first (and hardly earned) destroyer than about that silly noobship.
Noobships are like "get rid of it ASAP", so, why the effort making them look cooler?
I mean, WHO really flies a noobship long enough to name it or even think of it again once they give you that cool T1 frigate/destroyer/industrial, one hour into tutorials? EVE residents: 5% Wormholes; 8% Lowsec; 20% Nullsec; 67% Highsec. CSM 6: 100% Nullsec residents.

I also think that the new look ships can sometimes collide with their flavour text (whats going to happen when the old warhorse that is the Dominix is redesigned?)
How about adding just a small addendum to this text on the re-done ships, something like "Redesigned in YC113"?
I like this idea.
The upgraded ships look good and they seem to have moving parts on them that will make em more "engaging" at first. I like that alot.
It seems to me the entire old ibis design was moved to the enginecell, which is a good way to remember the old workhorse. As usual it is clear that the best rookie ship is and always has been the Impairor who keeps his looks with a slight aggressive sleeker update.

I have one friend who decided against continuing with the game because his first impression of space was the current ibis. I have two who didn't continue because they didn't really "get" the tutorial or didn't like having to wait the 12 or so hours at the beginning of the game to get into a rifter or other cool-looking frigate. New player experience is extremely important, and upgrading the noobships is a large part of that. Sure, older players tend not to care, we're rich and experienced and never use the noobships anymore, but it's surprising how important that small detail is to new players.
Another thing that would be great is a more active in-game music setup. If combat music was activated when a player was redbox'ed (by player or rat), for instance, I think it would add to the younger-player game experience. There's nothing quite as jolting as losing your precious new cyclone in a level 3 mission while the peaceful music of a relaxed new eden plays in the background. Again, not a big deal for older players because we spend most of our time on fleet comms anyway. |

lol wut,
Any single game out there that uses Normal Maps on there models will have high poly models, thats the whole point of a Normal Map, if they put those high poly models into the game, the game and or your computer would crash and burn,
Most games high poly models can be in the 500,000 poly mark easy for one model, when you bake out the Normal Map and wrap that baked information on the low poly model which would be say a... 5000 poly model you get a lot of the detail from the texture as if it were a 500,000 poly model,
If you had even eight to twelve 500,000 poly ships being rendered in the EVE client good luck getting a frame rate over one, no matter how good your pc is, the game engine probibly coulden't even take it,
Its no secret video game companies have high poly models of there art assets if they go with using Normal Maps lol
If you want more detail, demand high resolution Textures and Normal Maps |

I can not agree more!! Many of us have encountered this but haven't wrote it down I'm sure of this. But your gonna hear it today Tha Ammar ships, just look sexy-fact. The Caldari- Looks,and feel militaristic-fact The Minmitar-Look like tribal, nomadic, genius engineers to make that mess fly-fact The Gallente- look like a drugged up, 1/2 stoned engineer on a bad hair day, hateing their job-Why is this? Where is the elegant, sleek, artistic design that a freedom loving space faring race could make?
CCP Guard, your fav ship is a 'Gas cannon thorax' The image of this is laced with an air of artistic beauty, and bold engineering. Symbolic of Gallente know-how. So WHY in god's green earth, do the Gallente ship look so bad?
The Atron-What happened to the other side of the ship? Did a space monster eat the wing? Imicus- what happened here? A drunk day? Symmetrical redesign is needed. (Dont let him drink while designing this). Incursus- Looks fine, keep it. Maulus-It's ok, Keep it. Navitas- Looks more like a Serpentis design. Was that the idea? Tristan- For a T1 is barley ok, but the T2, needs to lose the flange like pieces that stick out. Make a T2 look like a T2. Catalyst- Reminds me of the Star wars B-wing bomber. Leave it, it's a fun ship to look at, with rotating radar thingy. Celestis- OMG a terrible design. Was Medusa asked to assist with this one? Please fix. My FRecon is laughed at. Exequror- For a Hvy Cruiser with a support mission, understandable, but the engine lay out is.....well odd..... Thorax- One of the few BETTER looking designs. Only modification would be possibly the lower 'leg' engine....remove it. Vexor-Actualy a good looking ship. Brutix- This has a fierce look. A muscular look. Reminds me of Babylon 5 race. It's ok, keep it. Myrmidon-Cool design, it's a good one. Keep it. Dominix- For an 'Old Warhorse' it look like a big Toe (foot). Or a wad of old chewing gum. Please modernize the looks. Megathron- This is actualy a good design, symmetrical, make sense. Hyperion- it looks like it should be a rotation tea cup dispenser. What were you envisioning on this? Can we try again? Iteron- What can be said here. Iterons are...iterons.... design makes sense. Moros- Looks like a bubble factory exploded, and you went and slapped guns on it. Thanatos-It's ok, and look almost completed, but knowing about the big brother Nyx, we can leave this alone....for now.. Nyx-Truly beautiful ship. Everything is well placed. Streamlined, symmetrical, looks worthy to fly. Something to work towards! Erebus- It looks like a Brutix on steroids that mutated, and went terribly wrong. But what do you do with something that big?
I know I've only picked on Gallente but while the actual game play is 'balanced' the visuals is vastly neglected in the Gallente department. Help bring some pride back to the Gallente side. They need help to bring some people to the gallente side and have people WANT to fly those ships. Not laughter. I've got lots of idea, of design but I will follow up later on the other races.

Yeah i 100% agree. And i remember CCP promised after guns pop up from ships to redesign Caldari ships ( Drake ect.. ) because of missile launchers. Infact who care?

Remodel != redesign.
The ships are staying the exact same numbers/balance wise, they are simply getting a remodel, which means simply the art department.
Art Department, does not work on balance issues, I.e. " supercapitalblobs or unuseable ships like EW frigs or gallente command ships or other really important things".
Learn to direct your rage where it belongs, or don't rage at all. Remember, with great rage, comes great responsibility. |

While I think the new Velator looks a little too Caldari, I still like the new designs.
But then I love flying / can-flipping / scouting / cloaking / having fun in a rookie, esp. the Velator. What else can mount a MWD, a T2 blaster or railgun, two Warrior IIs, and still not show up on most peoples' killboards? 'Tis also why I swapped to rookieship cynos once I reached Cynosural Field Theory-V. |

I like the new Ibis.
The Minmatar and Amarr ship look ok.
I'm not sure about the Gallente ship, but I don't like Gallente ships in general, so I might not be the best judge of them - not my style. |

While you are at it, BRING BACK RIG SLOTS FOR NOOB SHIPS!
Hardly OP, and made comedy gangs/ganks with noobships possible!!!!
Have no idea why u guys removed them in the first place - especially when there were only expensive 'Large Rigs' available back then.
"I Know guys! lets nerf the weakest ships in the game!!!!"
Kind of like when you nerfed webbing drones, even though nobody ever used them anyway.
"Hmm, nobody uses them, so they must suck. Heck, why not make them even weaker!" |

Err.. this thing about different size ships using similar size textures allways bugged me (also stations/structures). textures quality/size dependance on in game size of things would add alot to the visuals and believability - SCALE of things! But you are probably short on recources to do that ingame.. meh. |

What should be closer looked at is the skin and design of every ship you are redesigning. In my opinion do a few ships currently have strange skins/designs compared to their signature and compared to other classes. Good examples are the Ibis and the Machariel.
Design and Signature should relate each other, so it gets more realistic. |

What the hell do your artists have against symmetry
Just because space is mostly a vacuum doesn't suddenly make symmetry valueless. Even if we buy the whole space is a vacuum so stuff doesn't have to be aerodynamic (we'll put aside for a minute that EVE's space acts a hell of a lot more like a fluid than a vacuum.) doesn't remove mass from the equation
Asymmetrical distribution of mass requires asymmetrical distribution of thrust, asymmetrical distribution of thrust means asymmetrical distribution of structural stresses.
No actual engineer would ever design ships like the ones in EVE there are very practical reasons that most things are symmetrical and it's not simply a matter of aesthetics, Look at real warships they are almost universally symmetrical the exception being an aircraft carrier and there is a very specific functional requirement that resulted in its asymmetry (the need for an observation tower) .
Blocky non-aerodynamic craft make sense in a vacuum, asymmetrical ships do not. |

I cry when I see the reaper, such a disappointment - it lacks aerial and sensors and the weird asymmetry simply looks crap.
Texture and surface detailing are great, but seriously - these ships need designs that look credible and cool, not just weird for the sake of it. |

Anyone else notice the Ibis looks a heck of a lot like a certain ship from a certain game *cough*Freelancer*cough* Not that I'd know anything about that... |
