EVE is a vast and beautiful universe. Reimagining this universe and keeping it visually up to date, both in terms of actual asset quality and art direction, has been an ongoing challenge ever since. It is now time to work on a very iconic ship, the Minmatar Rupture! Check out CCP Pointy Bits’ blog and explore the process redesigning such a famous ship hull and enjoy the final result: [Iconic Ships Reimagined - The Minmatar Rupture](https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/iconic-ships-reimagined-the-minmatar-rupture/) ---

Very cool hull redesign. One thing I think would be really nice to touch on is how you choose a ship to remodel. For instance, why the Rupture, right now? Are you trying to establish over-arching design direction using certain types of archetypes? Do you pick ships that are more popular, since more people will use them, or less popular, in the hopes they get used more if they look cool? Also: WHEN IS THE CELESTIS GOING TO GET REMODELED?!? It is BY FAR the ugliest Ship in EVE Online. It needs a JENNY JONES MAKEOVER pronto! ---

What are you talking about? The Celestis is _fine_. Absolutely _no_ work is needed there. Move along. Perfect hull. Honest! ---

very interesting overview, it’s definitely a distinct style from Caldari and Gallente. I’m looking forward to seeing these designs in action. ---
