Old ship designs - Alan Martins - 05-29-2013
hey just curious but how come some old designs,specially 2009 coalition ones[aside from the GB]were replaced?i mean,they look totally cool compared to current ones.Anyway,i hope i'm not dragging up some really old argument or anything,i'm just curious.

I agree, I really liked them too, but design-wise they were quite different from other disco ships, i.e. shorter and with a large front / side profile. Maybe balance led to their demise, I don't know.
If the models aren't imports / Disco is free to use them, I'd really love to see them back. Always wanted to fly one, but back then Coalition was closed.

aye,and not just coalition models,but there were some others that looked awesome as well,like the old paladin and such.

I agree on Coalition part for 100%. I dont, and never liked current snub line of Coalition. They is not with Coalition Lore of making ships, they ugly and poor made, they just copy of Daggers with Odin part. 4.85 ones was replaced because someone instantly Q_Q that they had broken hit-box. So instead of fixing their hitbox, Devs fully replaced whole line to scrap. I dissappointed in such decisions and my faith to Dev team dropped because of that. I really hope that in 4.87 we shall have fixed stuff, or that will be awful. But 4.85 snubs seems not going to return. Which is damn stupid and sad.

i totally agree that the 4.86 commie ships look horrible and we should all lobby to have them returned,and every player should swear never to come play again and let it die if they don't.

That is not what I would like to see...
Better is to get people on your side and request Devs to return 4.85 Coalition snubs and fix their hitbox. But they now busy with 4.87 and they wont do any changes to it untill beta. So we need to wait. Who knows, maybe 4.87 coalition stuff will be so awasome so we wont even need 4.85 snubs.
But I highly doubt that...

Prior to 4.86 it seems that that SCRA wanted to revise their ships. Returning to the old models would also revive the old problems. The above post was made 2009 before the release of 4.86. After that, the new models were made.

yet they still look like outcast-RH hybrids,and the tech should be far enough along that new gear in old hulls is totally plausible.
