I'm right there with you on the Advent titans, hate the look of both of them... When I think Advent, I'm thinking Radiance Battleship, sleek and deadly. A look neither titan comes anywhere close to.

For the Vasari... I don't know, I think they looks pretty awesome, and the general shape of the design I have no objections to, but the organic look they seem to have going just seems wrong. The style more or less fits them, but the organic looking textures seems nothing at all like the generally "shiny" high tech looking Vasari warships.

And you clearly didn't look very closely at my post, or I worded it poorly, either way. I specifically talked about the textures, not the design style. The style is fine, but while many Vasari ships have an organic style to them, they still look technological in nature, while the Titans retain the organic style, but lose the high tech look. They have the appearance of organic ships that were grown rather than built, which is something that other Vasari ships do not have.

I don't know, I kind of like the advent ones. Advent wasalways my favourite faction (underdog FTW!) and I especially like the revelation 2.0! The butterfly is less cool but still fits their style. Never did like the Vasari tbh. The voices/ship design always annoyed me so I can't really comment on them too much. Style for them seems to be relatively similar, not my taste though. I didn't look closely at the textures of the Vasari, but I don't think they were too off. Vasari never seemed shiny to me in the first place.

I digress, the only images of them i've seen have been dark, so maybe we havent gotten a proper view.

but we both agree, the style fits, but the texture looks off

Still doesn't fit with the point I was making. And that was that the regardless of what design the ships are going with, the organic texture makes the ships look like they were constructed using an entirely different technological background

In other words, it's not unreasonable that the Vasari could suddenly sit back and say, "you know guys, I think from now on we should make our ships shaped like ducks'. Silly, yes, but within the confines of what is realistically possible.  But that's not what we're talking about, this is a case

I would suggest looking again. Especially with the likes of the Antorak or Skirantra. Some of the Vasari ships are some of the shiniest, most metallic looking examples of high tech construction in the game. Organic in design, but a far cry from appearing to have any biological elements in their construction.

Which is why we're posting our opinions on them ... Not that I actually have much hopes for that. Plenty of things I'd expect to change, but would be surprised to see any major reworks to the appearance of any Titans.

My problem with the advent titans are that they really don't look like ships more like floating structures. I'd like to see something more along the lines of the radiance or halcyon sleek, purpose built, warships. Not floating statues.

I'm suspending judgement until I can play the factions in their entirety, but I think the "butterfly" is the only titan that I somewhat have a problem with. The other Advent titan isn't what I would pick but it fits with the revelation quite nicely. The Vasari one guarding the occupied planet could look less like a plucked flower in shape but the eye looks wicked and its "pedals" look nice and metallic to me. :-/

I was not disappointed by the designs, I certainly do not think any of them look horrible. But I was surprised at a few of the designs.

The Vasari Rebel ship (the "flower") came as a shock compared to their loyalist ship. Since their Loyalists are the ones that eat entire planets I was expecting the Loyalist ship to be the stranger of the two (it reminds me a little of their Orkulus starbases so I was expecting it to get the devour/vortex ability). I kind of wish that the Rebel flower was twice it's current size and was the planet-eater while the Loyalist ship was scaled down a bit and used more traditionally by the rebels.

As for the Advent, only two small gripes there. First, their Loyalist ship is a little boring looking. Very similar to some of their older ship designs. And second, I do not care for the way both of their Titans feature large vertical discs/halos in their design. It seems a little uninspired (and looks really weird on their Rebel titan since there is nothing anchoring it to the hull). I would have dropped the disc from their Rebel ship and maybe experimented with turning their Loyalist ship on it's backside.

Contrary to you, i am actually glad the Orkulus like design is the loyalist one. The "flower" is not compact enough and because of that it looks IMHO smaller than it is.  In fact,generally speaking i prefer the compact Vasari designs over the spikey ones. I like Kortul, Vulkoras, Orkulus, Ruiner.... do not like Antorak and none of the Cruisers or Frigates, bar perhaps the Overseer Cruiser.

I really like the jobs they did on the titans. They made them stick with the general feel of the races, but at the same time made them very unique so they stand out in a battle.

I play Advent and let me tell ya, I can't WAIT to get my hands on those capital ships...
