Current plan for HAVs is to rework and balance them so they work properly. Phase 2 of that initiative is to introduce faux racial variants that use the Caldari and Gallente models but have them behave and fit like Minmatar and Amarr HAVs would. So ideally they'll be exactly as the Amarr or Minmatar versions would be, except for the model will be a rusty Gunnlogi or a gold Madrugar.

I expect once the HAVs are done we'll start taking a look at LAVs and Dropships, and it is likeley that a similar philosophy will be applied to get racial variants.

If/When the actual 3D models are done, they can be inserted then, but we'll get a working variant done first.

Also sorry for cutting you off mid sentence the other day, I accidentally left the squad but had to go so I couldn't jump back in. I'll be taking you up on your offer soon to do some research....gotta get my recording equipment out first.

No problem Pokey !

And just to clarify: I realize we will use placeholders and the simple -idea- of new 3D models for our stuff is not even on the map. But I also know that sometimes things get work done on them long before we hear about it, so I just felt like getting this idea off my chest. Until then, I am fully expecting a rusty Myron and gold plated Grimsnes.

Yeah I mean who knows if it'll ever happen, I've been surprised before ;) But at the very least if we can get them behaving like they should aside from the cosmetics? I'll be satisfied with that for now. "That little s**t Pokey..." --CCP Rattati, Biomassed Episode 032 Dust514 // Podcast www.biomassed.net
