[Poll]Do you like Odysseus's shape?

[zergline117s]

It is really like a hair dryer......

Just review X3, they are already this shape in X3. Other Paranids ships are shining, flat and smooth. Then the Odysseus and their carrier, Zeus? with that obese body, that indescribable handle, and the big nose L turret. If Paranids' destroyer and carrier look like their supply ship, I would say they are beautiful.

All paranid cap ships look like shit and ota be revised entierly. sorry to creators but they are not nice to look at. "my opinion"

[krlc]

I never had any Ody in fleet because I don't like how it looks, would ruin immersion for me.

[Lander1979]

Honestly I think the Xenon Cap Ships would be good Paranid ships... Xenon are supposed to be Megalithic Flying Toasters not metallic bugs.

[Jeraal]

All the big Paranid ships look like some sort of luxury cruise liners. Never have cared for them.

[grapedog]

Can't say I am a fan of the handle on their big ships.

[Nort The Fragrent]

Piranid ships from X3 are awesome, These in x4 are cartoons. Nothing but a joke. Cost cutting blobs.

[paraskous]

The hair dreier design is a homage to Dietmar Schönherr and Raumpatrouille Orion. Look out for showerheads, too.

[NightmareNight91]

I would pay for a dlc that updates all vanilla factions to be on par with split/terran ships....just sayin

I do not undestand all the hate on X4 Paranid capships - they look OK - they are not amazing, but not ugly as well.

Definetly much better than Teladi "Shroom" + generic attachment.

I like the Teladi designs, they're just mostly terrible ships stat-wise.

The "handhold" of the "hairdryer" refers to sailship long keel that was used to balance the height of the masts and the tension caused to them by the wind, so that the ship would not capsize.

Just as spaceships use the "ship" in them, Navy ranks and terms apply and they are referred to as "she".

If people like the "sail" on the Terran Auxiliary, the same should apply for the "long keel" of Paranid capitals...

As far as I am concerned Paranid are the best designed and streamlined spaceships in X4, second only to the Split ones. Unfortunately the Split ships look good (at least to me) only in red, while the Paranid ones keep their "beauty" in all colour schemes.

The turrets on the Paranid capital ships need to be redesigned. Those rectangular cutouts look really ugly, but also those huge L turrets really don't fit the overall curvy design at all, especially on the nose of the Odysseus. I would pay gladly for a DLC that facelifts some of the 1.0 ships to the quality of ships in SV and CoH.

Actually I really like the Teladi capship design, they have much better integrated turrets and docks. The problem with Paranid ships is that it looks like they just took the X3 models and made them fatter to fit the M docks and just cut out parts of the model for turrets without any design adjustments.

[Harrison_rus]

My voite - it is beautiful BUT this ship needs rework in details as for split and terrans.

P.S. Why it is hair dryer? It is same as in X2 if I not wrong.

I have no problem with the keel, but the main body should be a lot wider to reduce the fat look caused by that M dock.

[Maebius]

I don't like it.
Although to me it looks more like a giant portable barcode reading gun

[NightmareNight91]

Why not a purely cosmetic dlc that would give the paranids some (much needed) love...this way, if you like the current fat hairdryers, u can keep them while the rest of us enjoy a much sleeker and true to x3 oddy. I vote for removing the M dock completly so that it can lose some girth.

that's exactly what i think. Though some of them have good sides, like very fast miners/scouts.

[Tempest]

the best artists don't care what others think.

i like how each race seems to have it's own approach to ship aesthetics and is easily recognizable (TL/Builder excluded ofcourse)
