I'm glad the poll question is "Which one do you like better" rather than "Which one is better for sc2"
I think the altered model definitely does look more like SC/BW carriers, however, were they ever visually appealing in the first place? Not really, they looked like fat clunky things, unlike the typical streamline and futuristic look of protoss design.
I believe the results of the poll are because old SC fans are hoping more and more that SC2 is going to be like SCBW. It's not, and I like the changes I'm seeing. I don't want to spend money for the same game.
yes, because retaining a classic look on a unit from the first game that they felt they couldn't leave behind is just like giving you the exact same game over again.

GnaReffotsirk's model is much more true to the original SC, thus I like it. As already stated, I think the current carrier model is too small and it doesn't look like it can carry anything.

I like the bigger one. The smaller one looks like an attack ship, while the niche of the carrier has always been kinda like the mothership. The giant thing that carries lots of little things. Bigger one for me.

The current model was designed to reflect how the protoss changed from sc1 to sc2. iirc the protoss are in a much more desperate situation now so it would make sense for them to conserve resources, cut costs, etc. etc. and construct "leaner" looking ships. This is taken straight from the official sc2 website: Show nested quote +However, the zerg invasion of the protoss homeworld of Aiur has brought the race to a crossroads: the protoss must embrace change if they are to survive and prevail. it's too bad the protoss are hella ghetto right now.. not technologically speaking but in terms of resources, and they are an endangered species to boot. 
Can we please not debate made up space economics in this thread?

The current model looks like the carrier lost alot of weight. Not big and scary enough.
|
i kinda like the current SC2 model better
|
if you want to a put a carrier in the game, make it a carrier - regardless of all this stuff about how the race is changing. if you want to put in a sleek, speedy, small ship then call it something else. the great name of the carrier does not need to be tarnished
as for spending money for the same game... if sc2 was sc/bw repackaged with great graphics, and no dragoon/reaver glitches, and it would get millions of people back into sc/bw by presenting a new campaign/graphics, and it would get millions of new players into sc/bw by presenting a younger generation with a graphically appealing version of the best game ever made... well, i'd buy it.

i can't admit that the origianl design looks like it can't carry anything. The relation of the designs on the image is just not right. Look at this:
The modified model still looks more clumpsy but the main bodies of the two design now have the same size.

LOL I can't either. thanks buddy.

GnaReffotsirk's model at least resembles a blimp, like the SC1 one. IMO the model looks so much better with the sides covered with plating, instead of just hollow space. It gives the impression of actually holding something inside it.
Oh and I like it bulky. It's a capital ship akin to the Battlecruiser for God's sake, it's supposed to have an aura of "bulkiness" that screams "I'm the most badass ship around, stare with awe and fear me"

GnaReffotsirk's model for me, but either ways they look too complicated, don't you think so? And don't you think, that terran infantry units are too similar to each other and to (!)... new zealots?
|
GnaReffotsirk's is better for me because it's meatier, the blizzard one looks a little skeletonish.
|
I don't really care about the fact that the new carrier doesn't look like the old one, it just looks a little lame. It's not too bad, but definitely could be improved.. In terms of GR's model, it looks better, makes the carrier not seem so skimpy. The carrier in sc2 is significantly weaker than so maybe that is what they were going for, idk, possibly this has changed however.
They should've followed the concept art rather than just recoloring the tempest. In case you're blind, there are some tempest (blue carrier models) in the background you can compare to.

the current one looks like a vulture... srsly.
|
The current one looks more like a destroyer-type ship than a carrier. GR's model is better but honestly the whole design needs to be redone . I think this is just a placeholder for now though, Blizzard is probably going to come out with a real design.
