Javelis LRM Cruiser
Published on Friday, November 10, 2023 By
Hello!
With this short post I would like to politely express my dislike for the design of the new Javelis LRM cruiser…
I don’t mind it becoming a cruiser, being (a bit) sturdier than a frigate and I guess a stronger damage dealer… I am all for asymmetry among factions!
What I don’t understand is why changing the look of the ship from an interesting three-dimensional frigate (which makes sense for a ship that doesn’t need to land) to a flat, almost 2d ship reminiscent of something like star-trek or early star wars ships. I feel it doesn’t have enough character as it is now.
The changes to the Light and Heavy frigates, although maybe a bit divisive, still gave us recognizable and interesting looking ships.. with the Javelis I just get generic ship vibes.. am I the only one thinking this?
Are there supporters of this ship’s looks who can sell me on it?
Again, I miss the insight that Dev Blog posts gave into the new designs and the lore behind them!
