WHO TOUCHED SASHA?

+1 Internets to anyone who guesses what the title is quoted from.

But seriously, look at her !

New launcher models! 
This of course, is from the test server Sisi, which already has the new Amarr V3 skins (which are all sexy as hell) and the new launcher models before the official Inferno release. Suffice to say, there were alot of Caldari ships zooming around outside station. And the new missile effects themselves look awesome. Here's some terribly timed screenshots I took:



Shooting at evil cans
These models and effects are a  huge  improvement (in my opinion) over the old "puff of smoke, see explosion on enemy ship" approach of the old missiles. They have a wierd twisty effect too, that makes you go "Ooooh" everytime they fire. Cool stuff!
The only problems so far are some weird clipping issues, but hopefully CCP will have resolved those by the time Inferno launches


Also, the new Vengeance skin is freaking amazing. Black and silver is way cooler than just plain black. And it's really shiny.

Not only that, but the other Amarr ships I want to fly after my frigate plan (e.g Sacrilege, Pilgrim, Curse, Zealot) have also been sexified. The Sacrilege and Curse just seem to have had some silver highlights done, along with a general texture improvement, but the ships with the gold/red theme going on have had a slight colour change (e.g Retribution, Pilgrim, Paladin). The red is now much darker, and the gold stands out much more sharply against it.
With Overview off

Basically, all the Amarr ships now look amazing. Can't wait to see the Minmatar V3 skins, because that Vagabond is calling me :P
