The Duvolle Labs one already exists, it's the Kronos.

Unless this means we get to reskin our ships, even at the T2 level, in which case I'll take a Quafethron to go.



Edit: Oh who am I kidding, gimmie a GPD skin.

If you don't fly Caldari a lot, you may not have to noticed the near-standardization* of all the T2 paint schemes to their associated designing corporation.   The paint schemes for KK, Lai Dai, and Ishukone are now standardized on all non-freighter T2 Caldari ships.

If you think back about a year, maybe two, there was the image of all the Scorpions in different paint schemes (12-16).  Players are able to fly 4 of these schemes (normal, CN, KK, Guristas).

I suspect these images are very similar to the previous Scorpion image.  Lots of cool ideas, likely will only see a few of the various skins on various ships based on the ships designer/origin.

*The Rhea still has the old Ishukone camo-scheme.

The Anshar doesn't have the new Creodron design either - they're only focusing on subcaps for the first iteration of V3 for the four races. I suspect that capitals (and T3s, as they haven't been done yet iirc) will be another patch all on their own.

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Also notice carriers and dreads have not been updated either, there is a clear difference in 'basic' Federal designs and the capital ships. Try comparing the blue on a Thorax vs a Thanatos. Huge difference.

I'm confident the capitals will look 10 times better once they get around to re-painting them, and I can barely wait until they do Minmatar/Amarr sub-capital ships.

Yeah those Scorpions did look pretty good laid out like that.

Was there ever a confirmed list of which was which corp? Some are easy enough to identify, like the Rattlesnake, Widow, Ishukone, etc.) but others maybe not so much.

Also to echo some of the comments earlier, I'm hoping the new skills aren't restricted to the NPCs floating around space and we do get our hands on more skins via the LP stores.

I would also point at there is a "little experiment" on the Ishukone pattern - that is the Ishukone logo instead of the Caldari logo.  The KK pattern also lacks a Caldari logo, with the KK logo built into the overall design (2 red angles <<).

Wishing Mata could have Falcons that didn't suddenly have the Caldari symbol on them. We're kind of at war, y'know, and she'd so change the surface if she could.

Falcons are Ishukone, just be safe in the knowledge (if only OOCly) that they're sort of in bed with Roden and oppose the reason you're in a proxy war with the Caldari.


Or something to that effect.

If they had an Ishukone skin Mata could probably clench her jaw and bear it. As it is, it's as well the things spend most of their time cloaked.

Clenching jaw and bearing it is in fact the proper Matari response to flying any and all Caldari vessels.

You guys do realize that, no matter what is actually included as option, they will all cost Aurum/PLEX to use, right?

The T2 hulls are skinned to their respective design corporation, but yes chances are the rest will be on the plex market.

Tbh I'm fine with an isk sink.

Has anyone come up with why Inner Zone and Aliastra have their own skins yet? *twitchs/rocks-back-and-forth*

Maybe it's "Inner Zone Security" or something. Some corporate security outfit.

Also, I'm glad they did V3, but I'm more looking forward to when they redesign every ship eventually, as per http://imgur.com/a/KFuhX#8

I love the new Gallente designs, as evident in-game currently by the Talos and Velator. Functional and more realistic, while still retaining Gallente design. Not flying poop.

That's the theory I'm going with. Corporate security for escorting their haulers and freighters through less savoury parts of New Eden.

Plus a themed Megathron will always look better than a themed Imicus or Exequror to the PvPers in the audience.
