EVE Online : Create a Starship Contest

:iconthe-brade:
Well this was a fun one to do, mainly because I've never done anything like this before...sure I've done engineering drawings, but not of something like this and of my own design. And this proves my nerdism towards EVE...it's a flippin BPO, how fun is that?

The concept behind this was mainly the fact that I don't like a lot of the Caldari frigate designs (No offense CCP, love y'all still). I wanted something that was symmetrical but didn't look as silly as the Merlin or something. And as I like the design of the Caracal, I was thinking that if there was some happy medium between the symmetrical (and bad ass) Caracal and a Merlin...I'd be one happy PvP'er. I was also thinking that a lot of the Caldari frigates don't really look like combat ships, and I always thought it'd be cool to fly the Mantis (Caldari Fighter Bomber).

Edit: The Gallente scum in my corp were complaining about how they didn't understand that it's a frigate, based on the Caracal...So I made it clear, scaled down and modified version of the Caracal Hull, nicely compact into a combat frigate. But seriously, I like my Gallente corp mates, we just like giving each other hard times (as I'm like 1 of 3 or 4 Caldari members in the corp).

Anyway, hope y'all enjoy. And if you ever want to run lvl 4's or anything hit my up in EVE my character name is Sgt Maru.

Also, hit download to see all the ugly/grimy details and stuff.

Kinda, that's partly what I was trying for, why can't EVE players fly fighters or fighter bombers? Solution; this.

symmetry... caldari... :O_o: 2 things that overall don't mix, except in rare cases (3-5 hulls, i think), but this would work almost flawlessly, were it not for all the fitting slots you made on it. however, it could work as an assault ship or interceptor, lol

Well, actually there is a lot of symmetry in Caldari ships, just not when it comes to frigates mainly. And the fittings are just what I would prefer to see, 4 t2 rocket launchers, and enough midslots to change roles as needed. But make it a fun cheap t1 ship that if lost in a fight isn't anything major...now if only destroyers had a role in pvp...but that's what I'm going to be working on today, a destroyer hull that's also a missile boat...not unlike the flycatcher, just more missiles...and t1...and cheap...that's what I like...cheap....

destroyers do have a role in blockades, actually. interdictors are useful for those missions if you're running light. true that folks usually prefer cruiser interdictors, but still...
