Title: Capital V3
Post by: kalaratiri on 07 Mar 2013, 13:54
All you cap pilots will love this: http://imgur.com/a/t2Pup#0

Apologies for the missing dreads and Minmatar SCs, not much I can do about that. I'm sure screenies are out there somewhere.

I was hoping for a radical redesign of the Archon and Aeon, personally.

Hoping they don't touch the Minnie caps, I like them.

I feel the Nidhoggur could use something to differ itself from the Hel, but they have a distinct bigger/little brother relationship in design going on.

Or the Hel could've gotten some redisgn it looks like a bloated Nid.

I may be out of the norm in this, but I rather like the Hel; the Nidhoggur, however, does not draw the same approval.

Also, I rather like the Archon, as I feel it continues the double-prong design chain that is present in the Executioner > Coercer > Dragoon > Arbitrator > Archon line. Admittedly the top could use to be finished a bit more, but I to very much like how carrier-ey it looks.

As for the Aeon... eurgh. Just, eurgh.

I'm with you esna, I like the Hel more then the Niddy. The Hel just feels more.. solid, while the Nid looks a bit flimsy to me.

What has changed for the Caldari ones ?

Wtf has happened to the archon, it looks completely carbonized...

I really don't like their new chocolate color for carthum. Where is my crimson Carthum ? :/

But overall, better textures and resolution, so good I guess.

I'm hoping that's not final because those amarr ones just make me sad all over.

This.  The Hel is probably one of my favorite hulls in the game visually.  Too bad it's about as useful as tits on a bull.  Only good reason I've heard anyone come up with for using it over any other supercap has been that with a Nomad implant set and the right fit, it can align off in <10 seconds, meaning it can be off the field in the case of a trap before the layer of said trap can deploy it fully.

It looks like the lovechild of the Nid and the Hurricane (the latter of which is my second favorite hull in the game visually).

I really like all the minmatar capitals. They're some of my favourite hulls in the game visually. I also tend to object to people who say Minmatar caps are useless. Yeah, they're useless for nullsec blob warfare, but fir POS defense and logistics and things, they're some of the most useful.

This. I miss my pre-V3 Archon with the laser/electricity moving thingy on the bottom. That was the whole reason I TRAINED to Archon back in the day....and then they took it away.  :bash:

This. Honestly if it was not for the fact I play a Fed-aligned toon and have 'natural' tendencies for their ships (and love their functions and mechanics, but that's another topic) I'd work up towards the Minmatar capitals. I love their dread, as opposed to my own (so glad the Moros' re-skin makes it slightly longer and more sleek, just like they did it for the Mega) and the Carrier and Super Carrier is rather nice, IMHO.

I also loved the comparison-shot with the Thanatos. About time it got the proper shade of teal, tbh.

As for the Caldari ones, shades seem to be more crisp, and they all get those Caldari-white lines over the hull instead of just being a huge gun-metal grey slab of steel. It's about time, Caldari capitals look incredibly dull and boring right now.
