As I said in another thread on exactly this topic:

"The Maulus based Helios model and Vigil based Cheetah models are both essentially wrong. They aren't Tech II version of the astrometrics frigates. With the introduction of the Magnate as the long missing Amarr frigate, we can right all these wrongs and fix them to be based from their correct predecessors."

Whilst I can understand that some people prefer X ship model over Y, the Helios and Cheetah were using the wrong models. Now they aren't. You can argue the pros and cons of their looks back and forth all you want, but unless there's a technical reason for changing them back, they will stay as Imicus/Helios, Probe/Cheetah, Magnate/Anathema and Heron/Buzzard.

Ships in game will update to show the Imicus hull when Empyrean Age is released, and invention will now use the Imicus for building Helios'. And similarly for the Probe/Cheetah.

Of course there is a technical reason, but if you don't want look at them its your fault.

Imagine a guy who worked months researching a t1 bpo to use invention ( or just because have the t2 bpo and want to build the plain t1 ship and then make it t2 ).

Your change make his researched bpo worth nothing. He have to buy another BPO and research it again.

And pls next time could you be a bit more patient to players? Personally i not liked the tone of your answer.

As far i see its CCP that are changing just for "tier ship preferences" while there are some obvious reasons that your change will cause some damage to ship builders. On player side ist not "just a look & feel" problem, but its CCP that are going to make this change just for "look & feel" preferences, so next time please give people some more consideration. I dunno how this ship was supposed to do during the release, but its long ago that this ship have a determined hull, its worth cause damage to players just to change a hull?
