They look nice indeed.....

I will just be 'that guy' for a moment and say how disappointing it is to see they are just re skinned existing tanks - i had this strange vision that the Minny tank would be some clanking monstrosity that would have a gun barrel so long it would poke into a targets hull before 'opening up the treats inside'

The amarr tank i also thought was going to be an anti grav tank in the style of the amarr ground car etc - massive capacitors charging and crackling energy along its beam laser turret the moment before it sends a lance of energy that cracks into a target and for a split second disables them.

I know creating assets is a painful and long process but i would rather just wait for the above than feel an easy route was taken to get 'new' assets into the game.

Just my 10 cents - otherwise, dat gold brah.

Those that have followed the discussions here, know that

1) of course it would be better to have original assets - there are both memory issues and asset issues
2) the community was asked whether they wanted this intermediate and it was overwhelmingly approved

Thanks for the clarification, represents another interesting feature of GAAS model that quality can be impacted by group think

Still if you are happy with this route, thats cool bro.

If given the choice of something or nothing, I'll pick something, especially when it can be iterated on.

If given the choice of something or nothing, I'll pick something, especially when it can be iterated on. And that statement right there Mercs is why we've see such progress in the last several months. The ability to pick something and then iterate is the bedrock of our recent progress in the game (and yes it is "our progress" because it is also this foundation which has brought the community this far into the feedback and iteration loop). We can always find ways to improve things, and that's actually a great situation IMO, but let us not take for granted the degree of improvement we've seen in, say, twelve months time. 0.02 ISK Cross See a cool idea thread?
