I don't see the problem, the Drake will have 8 launcher hardpoints on each side of the model, so you'd see 7 of the new missile launchers on the left and right sides of the Drake.
The 8th unused slot can go to whatever you can use in the Drake's utility slot, maybe for when nos/neuts get their own models. |

True. So I guess that would be fine. What happens to the current points on the Drake then? EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!! |

They will either migrate to the new blank spots or stay where they are.

Those slots on the Drake are CLEARLY air intake vents designed to cool the engine. |

Actually, on second thought, you're probably right. EVE's space displays some very liquid-like properties. |

You could pull the .red file for the drake off SISI and see if it lists hardpoint locations or not. |

Guard, you failed to answer if it was going to happen or not. Anyways, hope Drake gets a redesign because those things are not air vents. It is 'CLEARLY' missile launcher modeled in the ship hull. |

Strange that my post was removed, not sure why but will repost it :s....
I think somewhat the missiles are cool, personally the redesign of the drake, all I could think is that they need to built the turret points recessed into the hull, When they retract, it would become almost flush with the hull and deploy out. Would look pretty awesome that way. I find it odd that the hams and the RFLML are not mounted on the wingbits. Works for the rapidfires, but not so much for the hams. |

I swear, the visuals in this game are reaching the level of p0rn. The art and graphics guys are doing a fantastic job. There's honestly been nights when I logged into Eve, alt+tabbed and watched videos of the game all night. Only thing I could ask for now is to get rid of the generic wreck and do everything like capitals where you have a destroyed hull.
This game is just so beautiful these days. Can't wait to see the rest of the V3 skins. |

Last check it didn't have turret hardpoints so you can't fit mining lasers, but salvagers or tractor beams works fine. |

I've seen the pictures of the drake with the new launchers on top of the launchers built into the hull and i have to say it looks just plain awful.
The Drake needs a redesign badly. It's current design doesn't work with what will be implemented.
I would like to add the drake needs a new refit along with it's redesign. The Drake, a ship with 8 launchers on each side on it's hull can only fire seven, only SEVEN. This main problem is the Drake is intended for ganglinks, so 1 high slot was taken away from being a launcher.
I would love to see the drake with the 8th launcher it badly needs. Not like it will hurt the racial battlecruiser balance since DPS is the one thing the Drake lacks more than anything.
The extra use of CPU and PWG isn't going to hurt the Drake much and if someone needs to use a ganglink they can just remove a launcher so it works out.
Can anyone say they have the same problems with a Myrm, Cane or Harby? That's a no.

Nice shots! They really need to make the HAM launchers fit on the side though. Love those things, they fire like freaking railguns out of the launchers. Except of course clipping issues, probably is why they didn't....

Well, I'd feared they'd put those launchers on the Scorpion's turret hardpoints. Glad I was wrong.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the Raven. Seriously, CCP, are you trying to make that hull as ugly as conceivable?
On another note, would you mind giving the Kestrel a modified Manticore model? I'd actually like to see that happen across the board for all four races.
(Damn, HML are huge on those cruiser hulls. Hopefully they won't clip into one another.) |

Yes, all this eye-candy is going to resolve all the gameplay issues that we currently live with....
And half of Eve will never see the updates, due to being combat pilots, or not having the latest greatest hardware...

dang, that Cerberus picture literally turned me on. I always said the caracal looked like some kind of sexy upsized jet fighter. Those under-slung missile launchers just confirmed my suspicions.
