Those unwilling to accept and embrace the changes to occur from starcraft BW to sc2 are not going to like the new game. Discussing the storyline is a completely legitimate argument, because it gives old SC players a reason to expect change in the races. I like the newer streamline look of the carrier.

Also, how can you bitch about "where the interceptors go?" Are you saying there is NO WAY you can imagine 8 little flat rectangles being docked SOMEWHERE inside that model? Can you please draw the insides of the old SCBW carrier and explain how you see the interceptors inside of it? The point is, to discuss such unimportant details is trivial.


I'd like to know your thoughts on why it is so terrible to want a better version of the original carrier.

We've all seen how the Battlecruiser got its bounty of nice beef and awesomeness, why force the current Carrier model?

and, guys, this one is kind of a compromise between the "tweak" ArcherofAuir has had for auction and the current Carrier model we see from the videos:

[image loading]


Also, the original intention of these "tweaks" was to try and get another perspective of the current Carrier model (which can be speculated as a mere placeholder for the real awesome Carrier), and maybe say a thought or two about how it can actually become so much better should Samwise and his team let down the hammer on it.

I was going to say that I liked the current sc2 model more than Gna's because Gna's looked like an uneven fat piece of spikey lard.

Now it's not so bad, but honestly I'd rather just see what Blizzard will do when they redesign it. I still might take the recolored tempest over Gre's newest mockup.

Thanks for pointing that out. It's funny how it's "Gna's" when it's merely a tweak to show something like, "hey, maybe we could improve on the carrier model some more?"

edit:
Also, the newest edit's mustache replacement kinda feels like the Immortal, don't you think?

I dont think theres a single spike on his new model.



BTW Gna can I suggest marking the models like

Gna 2.0_____________________Gna 1.0______________Current SC2



Also did you shrink the chasis a bit?

Uhm... the "original" sc2 carrier.

Why? Because it doesn't really matter, all suggestions look badass so far. When you've played the game for a month or so, you will probably stop caring about how fat/slim/spikey/small it is anyway. Does anyone bother to complain about how 8 interceptors would fit into the current BW Carrier? Or how a Reaver can cram 10 of those giant scarabs in there? No, because you're used to it by now.

So let's just not give the developers even MORE work. It's fine as it is. To be honest, it currently looks a little like a flying Lamborghini, which is pretty cool :D
Gravity is just a theory anyway.

Nope. It kinda makes the object smaller or slimmer when the silhouette is like an infinity sign like that.

The angles of the ribs were twisted a bit, the nose of the mustache guy enlarged, and given a smaller waist line.

I think that's what made it a bit slimmer, and the effect of the now hollow part kinda makes it feel lighter than the first edit. So, maybe that's what makes this somewhat gives a less heavy impression.

If you give us a single copy we can compare it to the voidray. Actually Id like to compare the voidray Gna2.0 and the current SC2 model.

Inspired by PIMPMYRIDE. :D

I understand that completely. I'd hate it when a single model becomes an excuse for delays as well. But, I gotta say, when the carrier first showed itself 13 years ago, it had this effect of giving a feeling of might, coupled with grace, and sheer awesome. That's what's missing with the new carrier model.

And it's not even intended to be a carrier model, right? Do you remember that time during the reveal when people were not so impressed? And then we kinda just played along and eventually accepted it, where it seems some, if not many, are actually hoping for a better, newer, more grandiose Carrier than the original carrier.

So, I say, why not encourage Sammy and his team to show us their latest model of the Carrier? Honestly, it doesn't take too long to make one, or conceptualize one. 3 days of conceptualizing means eons if we're talking business.

For those guys at Blizzard, it will take only a few hours to get 20 concepts out on the table, I believe. Even so, the concept is already there, all they have to do is make it better and make shine the true character of the carrier.

It really doesn't take that long.

He didn't remove the pointy bits at the rear end like he did the second time.

And Gna, archer kind of implied that it was yours first, blame it on him. =)

Heck, he even called it a "model" instead of the more technically correct "mockup" or "photoshop job", since you didn't actually do anything 3d.

I thought everyone on this forum liked to bitch about how much fluff was in SC2 and how it detracts from the game?

The current sc2 desgin is fine. Making units bigger is the last thing we want.

Yea this NEW carrier model is directly taken from that other unit that wasn't exactly a carrier that they scrapped for the new carrier. (i forget what it was called - a tempest?) and yea it's really skinny and weird looking. It was manageable to me though because I don't really care too much at this point and just want to play the damned BETA ALREADY!
Complain about this crap later. the new carrier does look a lot less menacing compared to the fatter ones, I remember I had a bunch of them at blizzcon and I was thinking how much less screen space they took up.

Model remake like that takes hmm 3h max...

not really, they have to call a meeting, discuss the changes, voice opinions, take votes, change the model, play test it a little.

Also if they have any lore and story written about the more compact carriers that all needs to me readjusted.
