Default Re: Need Opinions On New Borg Images

As with the old images, the designs are believable, the textures are excellent, but the ship classes are completely inconsistent! How do we recognize what a ship is on the system screen or in combat when a 'pyramid' can be either a small transport or a light carrier, a sphere can be either a starbase, a large transport, or an escort (in fact, the large transport and escort images are plainly the same image at different scales), and a colony ship is indistinguishable from a cruiser? It might look good to you 'esthetically' but for practical use in playing the game this shipset is a mess. Each class needs to have easily noticable common themes. With the Borg that means all of a class share one major geometric shape. Cubes are already established as standard warships, so after that you have some license. But whatever you decide it, needs to be consistent.
