We did redo all paranid capital ships to make them match the quality of the ships released in the dlcs.
Then this isn't a new battleship, but the new model of the Zeus?

As far as i know:
The new ships will replace the old ones in new gamestarts.
In existing games the old ones will stay (for the player). The NPC factions will build/buy the new ones and slowly fade out the old designs that way.
Wohoo! Thanks for the additional information :)

Will they be still available as blueprints, if we start a new game? or will they fully dissapear from existence?
Maybe it would be a good idea to push them to other minor factions, like HAT, SCA and ALI - since they are missing their unique ships anyway?

I mean this would fit greatly:

old Argon ships --> HAT
old Teladi ships --> SCA
old Paranid ships --> ALI

So you even change the models that were introduced as late as the AUX ships?!

Hats off to you, that's some serious dedication here! :o

From the Gamestar stream, it was part of the background video.

I think a player will be able to get the blueprints.
I personally think, that the old ships should not be used anymore, they are really out of date and players do spot that. It makes the game look worse, if we keep em.

EDIT: yep, again: All paranid capital ships got a redesign.

IMO I don't like good models going to waste.
The "old ships" could be retconned to be previous-generation ships that have been phased out and sold to the minor factions - HAT, SCA and ALI fits perfectly with those sub-par models - here, their "ugliness" would be actually an asset.

Woaw... Really ? I did not believe you guys would do this... It's really great, can't wait to see them in game !
And I also think the old models should not be used anymore, the zeus is okey for me but the ody is killing me everytime I see one...

This is precisely what I want to hear. The old should go imo, but I can understand why you might want to leave the old blueprints for players that still want them. Personally if I can mod them out entirely i'll do that.
And again, thanks for all your work on this! Very happy with these redesigns and cant wait to get my hands on the Odysseus now.

Yep, me neither. I was always thinking we would have to wait for X5 or something like that. Seriosuly, which company does that for their fans?? This is insane.

I understand that completely but it is so sad to see them dying 😭 ALI has no ships or stations. So it would be safe to give them the old designs for sale. You can also buy this "prototype" ship there (don't know how it is called) and... well, quality wise...

No, that would be "Atlas"

And here is the remodeled hairdryer. Yes, a Behemoth still can not shoot at the target and hit. :(

It seems you are right. Somehow, I've missed the entire first page of this thread. *facepalm*

But I don't think we were shown a Zeus yet.

My personal preference would be to keep the old models, and just add new ships for more variety. But if the old ones are replaced in vanilla, I'm sure they'll find a place in mods.
