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]](http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/2153/bigbetter2.jpg) 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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

Actually Id like to compare the voidray Gna2.0 and the current SC2 model. | ||

To be honest, it currently looks a little like a flying Lamborghini, which is pretty cool :D 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. | ||

If they have time to improve some friggin' trees, they have time to improve the Carrier. | ||

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. | ||

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. 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. | ||
