Not everything tri wing suddenly becomes a Maud -_-

The nose only looks similar to a cockpit in that one view. The other views show it to look like a nose cone - possibly like something that might blossom open like a satelite array.

pretty nice job !
You say that there might be three kinds of hive, due to the fact they scavenge technology from three distinct parts of the universe. This leads me to the old question : can we expect three kinds of technology for player ships / stations depending on the location too ?

nioubi has a good point, as always :>

We don't have that much variation ingame betweeen factions, so, uhum?

Danm !
this Luis guy is pretty Good ain't him? !!!

I love these, Luis I love ALL your ships ( but i still fly/love my valk :-p)

Regarding factional variation.. it is something we're working on with the new ships.

Awesome.

/me crosses fingers for the new valk model

dude my smooth egg like valk is not something to be toyed with. it is like a river rock gently molded over thousands of years by the gentle bubbling of sparkling mountain springs, now and then tussled by the passing of salmon on their way to spawn. the water and salmon meet, they are two ends of the cycle of life, the water from ocean clouds, the salmon from ocean water, meeting in springtime in the sunlight of an alpine meadow. no! no. you cannot interefere with nature or gods design. you cannot interefere with the valk.

Ok, this is sure to piss everyone off, but before I got to play the game I looked at the ship art and, not knowing what was what, developed the followinging first impressions of the ships:

Valk: All round with big shields around the sides. It looks "safe", like a driver's ed car. Probably something a newby would use when starting out.

Maud: An ugly but functional mining ship, meant for solo excursions far from civilization.

Prometheus: A blocky cargo ship with a thick hide.

I bring this up because this was my first impression of the ships before I got to know the game, and it is likely that other potential players will see these designs and have less than stellar opinions too. Therefore, I think we should definitely consider ALL ship models as candidates for the Luis makeover.

omfg!!!!!1!1!!!!!!!!11!! Those models are friggin amazing. You married Luis? I will have your babies!!!!!!!!! As many as you want!

Those three should definitly be the first of the PC ships to be revamped. Would changes be retroactive to existing stocks? (The good Doctor ain't exactly buying *new* IDF Valks anytime soon... =)

I´m married, sorry about that, hehehehe

Actually I knew there was Star Wars VII, IIX and IX for a long time. Wonder who will make those?

awwwwwww.. shucks..

Toshi: that was intentional sarcasm for the joke... >.<

we need some of those kickass spines on the prometheus...
