I was curious how they have been chosen in the past.
Do you vote on looks or if it would be useful instead?

Art director makes a list and then the admins say yes or no

I think art director has only once or so made a list; it's usually an admin that compiles it and completes the stats and passes it on to the art team for art, but the admin who's been doing it for the past years isn't active anymore so it's been outsourced a bit since then, subject to admin approval.

In any case, there is no voting involved. It's just a selection of ships of various sizes that meet the balance needs of CP ships.

Thanks for clearing that up , It's interesting to know how it works.
There's some interesting CP ships and some less lovable ones so i wondered who came up with them :)
