The custom model looks like it has 4 "bays" on the sides instead of 2, so here's a thought:
Why not change the model to the custom one when carriers receive their capacity upgrade?

I don't mind either of them, and the explanation about the mothership makes me like Blizzard's one a bit more.

Well wasn't white Australia colonised by British Criminals?

Also. Damnit for pointing out the face on the carrier. I just can't unsee it.

I think the primary reason behind the smaller carrier design is the reason given for the Thor downsize. When they had TvT games where Thors were built on both sides, the screen looked clustered and unmanageable, thus they reduced the model of the Thor.

The Mothership is an exception to this rule, because you can only have one per Protoss player.

I hope they do not increase the size of any of the units, they all seemed to fit onto the screen rather nicely at the test builds. I was honestly worried about the Thor being too big awhile back, and was really glad they fixed that.

Both work for me. If Blizzard decides they like fat carriers, they should go with the gnareffotsirk(?)'s model

i don't like how the current model has this huge fat rear end
i dun like the blue strings that attach the two halves together either
srsly they look like futuristic flimsy flying cars that could snap into two pieces if someone sat on it

the custom model is a bit better but i think it's too bulky

I don't know but looking at that picture ... why does a Marine take up the space of a car on the road? I know they wear thick armor, but its not that big.

The mothership is not unique anymore. You can have ad many as you can afford with their high cost.

the current model just looks weak, doesnt seem at all threatening if six of them pop out and start attacking

Why are Americans so afraid of change ?
The main reason why the SC2 Carrier has been made smaller is because it is not as strong anymore (that's on the record). Besides, thinking that you can legitimize your model with a SC1 community poll is pretty naive.

I'm sure I could draw a new Thor/Viking model, a bit more Goliath-like, or an old-school siege tank, and the people here would also vote for them, it wouldn't mean jack shit for Blizzard though.

Why do we all think bigger is better?

It isnt necessarily. The mothership covers up a lot of gameplay because she is so large. (See also thors and colossi)

But we also dont want it to be wimpy.

Some good movement animations/mechanics and good sound will convince us that it is a lumbering behemoth. Also, covering up some of the holes in it will go a long way towards convincing players that the carrier is the scary warship that it is instead of a swiss cheese spaceship.
