Bad Ship Changes: The Vagabond loses the "frill"
As you may have read on EVOGANDA, the recently introduced Minmatar V3 ship models removed the distinguishing feature from the player-favorite Vagabond - the lizard-like frill just after the head of the vehicle.
Before:
After:
I really can't figure out why CCP would remove this nifty-looking part. This distinguishes the ship apart from Stabbers and Stabber Fleet Issue; now the only real difference is in color.
EVOGANDA has "announced" a "benefit concert" to fix this, which you can read about here. Click the link, the poster is hilarious.
CCP, fix this shit!

It's not *quite* the same as the others - if you look from above, the new vaga actually has side fins near the back, as well as the fin on the bottom being different to the other stabbers. They're just much less obvious than the frill was, and that screenshot is at a bad angle to show them.
I get that they're trying to standardise the ships based on the manifacturer - all thukker ships now have the 'square' fins found on the jag and cheetah (this is also why the fleet tempest lost the square fins). The curvy fins used for the vaga's frill were boundless creation fins (claw, huginn, etc). They probably decided a square frill wouldn't have looked very good.
Thanks for your support! Much appreciated.

CCP is watching this thread!
I always liked the way it looked before. Kinda like a Dragon or something.
