So with the new launchers being introduced I can only assume that ships such as the Drake will get a redesign and V3 since they have "built in" launchers as part of the ship skin which will simply not work with the new launchers. Am I correct in this assumption and if so is there any chance that a kind CCP Dev will let us have a peek at the new design? The Drake is the only ship that I can think of that has this issue unless I am mistaken.

I beleive the Scorp and Manti (I think Manti, without checking) has launchers built in too.
Good point, tho! Although, Caldari ships have already had their V3 treatment |

You are right...I recall the launchers on the Scorp but the scorp also has turret points that the launchers can attach to so I doubt it will be an issue. The Drake does not have those same attachment points.
I have been noticing that with some turrets on some ships they tend to be too large for the actual attach point. Parts of the turret hang over and it just looks wrong. I wonder if this will ever be corrected?

It has already been V3d, as mentioned.
As for mounts, I haven't flown one in a while, but it should have them already since they introduced actual turrets for things like salvagers and tractor beams, and you can fit those to the Drake just fine. That said, just looking at the model in the preview window, there's nothing nearly as apparent as the turret mounts on other ships.

I am almost positive that the Eris does have the extra attachment points on it since the other models of that ship can use blasters and rails.

Stop fretting everyone. Every ship in the game has already had every high slot mapped to a "hardpoint" on the ship for things like salvagers and tractors. The new missile turrets will just attach to those. The the SBs are all getting complete redesigns so I'm sure they already took the new missile turrets and the new bomb launcher into consideration for those.
I will admit the drake will look kinda silly with the hard-modeled launchers on it at the same time as the turrets but it'll still work if they don't already have a new drake model planned.

They could cheat on that and proclaim thats the hictor bubble launcher.
Drake on the other hand will likely receive a quick once over her launchers should be a bit easier to remove than other ships.

I'm kind of curious to see what they do with the Golem and Ravens.
Cruise launchers look like old school nuclear ICBM silo's. They embed in to the ship (or in to the ground) with a cavity as the launch.

The rifter is another ship with built in launchers (top of the wings near the cabin). It'll be interesting to see how launcher mounts fit into that, not that we matari aren't used to strapping stuff on our ships with duct tape mind you. |

I think the issue with the Drake is it is meant to look like the missile launchers are part of the hull. It will look a bit silly with both these and missile turrets. Either way. Excited about the new turrets and effects.

I would guess they'll recieve slight redesigns along with the new stealth bomber models coming (after all, the missile turrets are the whole reason they've redone bombers  Not a stretch to see them doing small changes here & there to the others) |

Back on topic!
What I think would be cool would be to just take the existing Drake model and make those static launchers have some sort of animation. Perhaps they can open and close and then swivel as well. This would leave the Drake model as is with no major graphical changes but still make it take advantage of the new launchers. Each launcher attached to the drake would simply have it's graphic overridden by the drakes static launcher.

The missile launcher models which embed into the model are torpedo/cruise launchers and up. Cruiser and frigate missile launchers will be like turrets, so all they have to do is make the surface of the Drake's sides flat with some nice texturing and move launcher hardpoints to where the fake missile launchers are now.
That's the easiest most aesthetically pleasing solution anyway. |

Except when doing this I see CCP puting on 8 points for the launchers instead of just the 7 that are needed.

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. |

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.

I agree. This is turning into major space eye candy. I might just have to go back to being a gigolo so I can get $$$ for a new PC build.

So for the drake....
What if we said, the "built in launchers" that now sit under the missile launcher models are actually where the missiles are loaded and stored...since she's such a thin boat and needs a place to stick-'em ?
Also... the launchers stick off of the Raven .... Just like 425 rails stick off the Rokh and the Megathron I hope they do something about this eventually >_> No offence CCP I love you but... If I QA'd that at my job and let it go to production, I'd have been fired for real... |

I like what they did with the Scorpion. Gave it specific points for the larger launchers...the Raven looks idiotic. Fail on that one. The Drake looks idiotic as well. We put launchers on your launchers so you can launch while you launch. Good job guys...
Gotta figure they will fix the Drake eventually...not sure about the Raven though. That just looks terrible...of course the Raven has always looked terrible.

Ive been watching some video's...
Seems the bomb launchers aren't quite working right. Bombs still come from the center of the ship and it looks like they just chuck out there instead of having a cool thruster effect behind them. I hope that is just a bug itself...why make the bomb look cool with a thruster at the back if you aren't going to use it right? I am sure they will get them to launch from the launcher by release.
Aside from the dumb graphical issues like the Drake and the overhanging launchers on the Raven...it's looking really freaking good.

I played with a Drake last night and the launchers were not on the down-turned flanks at all like the above pictures, but they were on the top and bottom of the hull (the 'flat' areas). I only had a couple minutes to tinker, mainly because I was trying really hard to accept the new inventory system, and was only using 'light missile launchers'. Does the weapon type determine where they go on the Drake model?

seems like it, right now if you use heavy missiles, the turret goes on top of the fake launchers like in those screenshots above, but if you fit heavy assaults, then the turrets show up on the top and bottom of the main central hull area instead of on the fake launchers. |

Now that's just odd. Sounds like some work has been done in advance of reworking the hull perhaps.
I don't think it looks bad either way, but yes, it could be better.
