to me, the question isn't which model looks better in those pics, the question is which model is going to look better in-game in a fleet of ~4-12. and that's easily blizzard's.

Both look nice. Nostalgia will bias all our opinions.

They look similar, but being a "carrier" I have to go with the bigger one.

ugh. you guys are missing the point. 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

No offense but this sounds so stupid LOL

Like someone said, the first model has a more of a capital sense to it rather then just a raiding ship as it looks like in the original model.

This is exactly what I thought.

A carrier is a capital warship, and thus it should be a hulking behemoth. The Blizzard model is too small for that feeling.

Please pay attention to how your refering to these models. Terms such as "Blizzard, new, old, large" arnt good clarifiers.

Wheres the option to vote for SC1 carrier? New carrier looks like they're trying to hard to make it look cool.

I think we know how TL would vote if there was a SC1 carrier option

For whatever reason Blizzard has chosen to go another direction. GNA's version is an attempt to compromise, adding a new SC2 feel to the model while still harkening back to the old.

I think GnaReffotsirk's is better, but i'd like to see him take off the 4 leg looking things on the sides

We call those the "ribs". Youll notice there are similar rib structures in the SC1 model.

You guys seriously want Blizzard to post-pone the beta even MORE?

I personally think the one they are using looks better but I think the main reason they made it more streamlined was so you could see more underneath it.

They obviously decided to make less a big deal of carriers as they are introducing mothership.

Two kind of admiral ship in the same army would look silly. Carrier now looks like a normal / big ship, while in Sc1 there were supposed to be absolute monsters.
