Whatever happened to this? I miss the old Massifs! Jeff_L gave us all the "Every ship must have a moving part or an animation to qualify as a ship" talk.
As you can see, if a ship doesn't have a glow or a moving part (animation), it gets looked at and they decide to add one, whether or not it actually looks good or isn't bugged with one.
Take the Jujuso'rka. It started with a glow, but Jeff_L felt that it needed an animation too. It got the "Battle mode/Travel mode" animation, which has been bugged and stays permanently on the Travel mode. This bug has been here since C2-Alpha. It has not been fixed, period.
It sounds cool, until you figure out it's broken.
The Massif-family also was perfect before. It looks like a bunch of Bulk Traders now. Because Jeff_L had to make them have a moving part or it doesn't look good.
