Title: Chinese ship skins
Post by: Esna Pitoojee on 23 Jan 2015, 20:25

Some interesting new skins (http://imgur.com/ScXQlPW,dC0s8DO,Fd7N0t3,EaqP7v9,2L2yhYl,yPyKc75,MZfRfuE,zEdkVfy,ge5qrZN#0) popped up in Reddit today.

I personally like the Scorpion-hulled one.

Chat codes for the skins can be found here (http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/2tg8r1/all_the_chinese_server_skins/), along with some translations. Amusingly, some of the translations appear to have been directly transliterated ("Ishtar" as "Yi Shita") while others translated with... very degrees of accuracy: "Eagle" came across fairly well as "Silver Eagle", while the Armageddon got translated as "Apocalypse" and the Apocalypse as "Disaster".

Hey look more fancy shit for the Firewall Nation that we'll never actually get to see/use on Tranquility except through preview windows and autolink. :psyccp:

The skins were probably designed by CCP China. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing these sorts of things appearing on TQ once Team Size Matters finishes some UI update stuffs.
