I really only like the Jove battlecruiser.

That is pretty spiffy looking.

Saikoyu, what list of semi-finalists are you seeing?  That vertical Minnie design, the "Tornado", that you specifically mention is among the selections, and I do not see the other one you've linked in the list at all.

This is the gallery of semi-finalists.

For a ship that is almost certainly destined to be a one-off thing like the Apotheosis/Zephyr/Primae, I think CCP has a good list of options to choose from.  Some are a bit generic, but there's some EVE-ness in there that should definitely satisfy.

The Tornado is my first pick. It is both vertical and wingly.  I also like the Atlas as an SoCT/Jove/SoE T3 thing.

Ken, it wasn't awhile ago.

But the space comb was. Perhaps they are listening, and making adjustments?

The ships picked sure are pretty but most of them won't fit in the EVE universe.   Kinda disappointing, I saw EVE styled ships WAY superior than some of these picks.

Edit: Just saw the ninja swapping going on with the Tornado in the semi-finalists.   Lol.  :DA:

Ah, bit of results retconning going on?  That would explain why I didn't see the space comb.  :)  While I'm a bit incredulous that they'd do something like that so casually, I've not been a long-time DA user.  Maybe that's just how it works with them.

remember, Deviantart is run by furries.



I believe no further explanation is required.

Confirming the Tornado was ninjamoved in due to previous design fail.

That said, there are a few others that, while not bad, are also obviously designed by people who've never played the game and as such really don't conform to the "Suitable for integreation into EVE Online" rule, not to mention a couple of that are resting on the edge of Copywrite Violation Cliff.

At the end of the day, my picks are the Tornado Minmatar BS, the Cyruk Velam Gallente and Amarr-ish... thing, and the snail's shell- er,  Atlas. They'd probably have to rename it, though, to avoid claims of alliance favoritism.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

They really should have chosen the best of each race, and added 4 new ships instead of just 1.

Then again, I guess this leaves the window open for 3 more contests to fill the gaps...

Winners announced.  Very happy with the 1st place selection, but the obvious racial identity of the winning ship makes me think it'll be used as part of a new class or tier for all four races rather than a one-off.

The winner gave some suggestions for other racial ships.  Other than the Caldari ship, the others all are EW Battleships (Caldari already have the Scorpion).

I however cannot make sense of the artist's suggested Caldari ship.  It has a bonus to Shield Transfer Arrays (high slots), almost as many Turret points as Missiles (6 v 7), and standard Drone capacity.  Raven is better.  vOv

So, what are the Caldari missing between the Rokh, Raven, and Scorpion that the other races have?
