EVE General Discussion

asymmetric ships can be beuitful but i dunno, something in my mind isnt just "right" when there is something obvious asymmetric :P

If i flew an omen all i would think off all day is like a dog running around with 1 leg missing :(


To which ships id like see a overhaul is, well ofc the moa, but tbh ive learned to identify this ship as just being a brutal design not focused on grace in space.

Rupture and Dominix some ppl mentioned aswell but even though they seem ugly, they serve the point of idea behind a drone ship.

As a caldari pilot my self though, ive yet to understand the vacuumer/spider look of the osprey :O

The open space at the front of the Arbitrator (and by extension, the Curse and Pilgrim) should be converted into a more obvious drone bay. After all, CCP did pretty well with the drone bays on the Algos.

NLIPs non linear scaling is used to give a good sense of scale regardless of camera position and zoom, is used in homeworld games to a very good degree of efectiveness.

Improve the texture resolution on the Raven. Add two more dedicated launcher hardpoints to the main hull, so navy issue ravens don't have wingtip launchers.

Drones. Please make them shoot out of their guns.

Moa needs a wrecking ball instead of touch-ups, but yeah, give the Moa some lov'n.

Moa/Gila. Seriously. It looks like a disgruntled briefcase holder had a incestuous relationship with a bird.

Caracal. Best example of taking a sleek, fast looking design... then adding a staircase and a flipped U at the back of it.

Bantam, Griffin, Kitsune, see Moa. Obviously that disgrunteled briefcaseholder had a lot of weird relationships.

Typhoon + Variants. Looks like a trashcan with engines. Actually, trashcans look better. Also, last time I checked Panthers were in fact not trashcans. Do not try this at home kids.

Dominix. Someone seems to have digestion problems. Note to CCP: We do not want to fly what comes out of your glorious behinds after the morning coffee.

Condor/Badger could use some love as well.

Succubus. See Dominix. No, we don't even want to fly small pieces of poo.

Brutix: We also don't want to fly poo that has been stretched into a different shape than regular poo.

Hookbill. This one could look so awesome if you only cut the nose and moved the launchers to a less stick-out position.

Imicus. What is this, I don't even...?

Ospery/Basilisk. See Imicus.

Blackbird. What exactly is holding this thing together at speeds greater than 3mil km/s?

Emergent Locus Analyzers for T3. So bonuses to probes and assorted launchers does have to look ugly, huh? Exception: Legion - Mini Avatar.

Caldari Shuttle: The smaller the uglier. Adding glow to the cockpit didn't help. Really.

Arbitrator Hull: Improved drone bay and maybe a straight hull on the nose section.

Thorax, see Arby hull, that thing would look so awesome if the hull was straight. (Inb4 it's not gay!)

Hoarder. I am not even sure what it should resemble?

Raven: Could use a massive texture rework. The better Eve's graphics get the more it looks out of place. Same for CNR.

The Caps mentioned so far would be a good choice for a redesign however:

Wyvern. Note to designer: If it's not evident where the front is when the engines are off, it's probably a bad design. The Leviathan is a good guidline on how to do it.

Also: Erebus and Moros, which side is up?

I appreciate the designers trying to give us ships that look alien in shape but too much is never a good thing. Please, we're supposed to look at that for hours. Take the Coercer for example, the Stabber, the Algos.

They look awesome in that they're alien enough to set the mood but believable to be actually created by humans. Not by some weird force int he universe randomly forming polygons until it looks ugly enough. Or even worse, created by a disgruntled briefcaseholder having ... well you get the idea.

A complete hull rework patch/ small things improvements for the next expansion would be something worth doing to please both PvP and PvEers

Incursus eh? You really must be new here if you don't know it's a proteus.

All dreads(minus minmatar)(add a pirate faction dread), all carriers(minus minmatar) all titans (minus avatar)(i feel like somethings missing from the levy)


mostly all ships atm need a little love

I love what you guys did with the Stealth bombers("same hull" completely different loooking ship.) which makes it looks like the t2 ship is an UPGRADE of the t1 hull and not just some cheap reskin.

i believe all t2 ships need an upgraded look from their t1 counter part to make it appear it's actually an upgraded ship.

I also believe there are a few plain hulls that need some extra love( the most obvious moa.)

comparing the designs of the ships with the older and newer, the newer ships don't fit in with the older. they stick out.


Also, if you're going to add the npc logos on the ships, add them to the rest.

Gallente shuttles.
