Ah... The Imicus... Just can't wrap my head around it... That is one strange looking internet spaceship.

Let the lager decide what is wrong, what is right.

It's hard to say:

best: jaguar
runner ups: Stratios, Garmur, Nidhoggur, and Nyx

worst: in general, a lot of caldari ships, but if i had to pick 1 ship, I would say the leviathan. The Avatar is awesome, the other 2 titans are ok. The leviathan looks absolutely terrible to me.

for best, i've always had a thing for the Orca, and the Chimera.

for worst, i'd have to go with Griffin, or Aeon. Aeon is half a ship, seriously.

In a few moments you will have an experience that will seem completely real. It will be the result of your subconscious fears transformed to your conscious awareness.

I like the Leviathan. Long titan is long. With the Moa's semi-recent makeover my glare of disapproval is now directed at the Osprey which basically looks like a run-over bird on the street.

All you need is that Naglfar. The most vertical of vertical hulls, and it is a beauty. But damn it, make its wingy bits spin again!

Rupture. It looks like something you could grab with your hand and easily pummel a man to death with.

Best ships: Abaddon, Apocalypse, Harbinger, Maller, Maelstrom, Probe

Worst: Almost everything Gallente except maybe the Megathron. I get the whole 'organic' look, but I think they've crossed into "stuff you scrape off the bottom of your shoe after walking through a back alley in a poor part of town" territory. Not really fond of the new Crucifier model, all I can see is a futuristic pontoon boat.

Mixed feelings on SOE ships. I don't find the designs themselves bad necessarily, but they look like they were meant for Star Trek Online and someone just accidentally e-mailed them to CCP instead.

Best: Stratios.
Runner up: Hyperion

(Seriously, those ships look mighty fine.)

Worst: Burst (Litterally, a conglomeration of scrap)
Runner up: Revenant

I still love the Algos. It's a cute little space boat.

Least favorite so far is the Space Potato, er, I mean the Dominix.

Fedo are not what they seem to be.  Welcome to Night Vale.

Best = Old Ramshackle Gila

Worst = UPS Peacedove

If you like any of the older ship models (original artwork) better than the redesign of your favorite hull and don't want them to be lost forever, support ship customization and this feature request.

Worst: Magnate

The Noctis looks like an evil death machine. I can see Sam Neill sewing his eyelids shut floating next to the warp core in a Noctis.

1 ship skin later, and you will have your wish.

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

Best: Skiff....it still looks like a cool space sports car with headlights blazing

Worst: Domi....but damnit....I like the domi.

Generally speaking through...the gal. ships are probably the most realistic regarding what futuristic spacecraft would look like. Lack of sharp edges...wings. The potato and compartmental shapes would probably be best at protecting interior atmosphere from a vacuum.

None of these lists are complete.

Best: Megathron, Catalyst, Incursus (hull), Corax, Anathema, Daredevil, Executioner (hull), Breacher (hull), Raven (hull).

Worst: Bantam, Osprey (hull), Blackbird (hull), Burst, Leviathan, Wyvern, Aeon, and every titan except for the Avatar.

For the really big ships, I'd like to see more variance from "long and thin and implicitly horizontal." If the Erebus could look less like a glassblower's botched attempt at a Brutix, that would be good, too. These things should be totemic. They should literally be battle standards. You also missed a chance to turn the Sansha carrier into a giant spiky sphere.

There are also a lot of ships which are mostly ugly because they're badly in need of a refresh and a texture rework, the Atron and Harbinger especially.

The CreoDron ships look terrific in gunmetal. The Helios will go from cool to "space pickle with a kickstand" as soon as the intended green appears when the lighting model is updated.

Well, let's look at what we're working with here.

Amarr: Golden Klingon ships. I always liked the Bestower; it looks like a yellow slug, which is perfect for a slow hauler vessel. The Damnation looks incredibly awesome. Personally, I think the whole Amarr line looks better in darker colors.

Caldari: What real spaceships might actually look like. Blocky, grey and when symmetrical very Art Deco. Best would be the Drake, Tengu and Scorpion. Worst? Blackbird.

Gallente: Art Nouvau (sp?). Props to the Nemesis, Occator, Thorax, Ishtar, Incursus and Hyperion. Worst would be the Imicus and Dominix, though I've come to accept the Imi as so ugly it's cute.

Minmatar: What spaceships (probably will) look like. Vigil looks ridiculous. Tempest is boss as hell. I like fins.

Jove: Tacky across the board.

Mordu's Legion: Cool, but too unadorned. They look like murderous blue pancakes.

SoE: *Really* cool! I'm not a fan of the current color-everything-white fad in scifi these days, but CCP did a great job, esp. with the Battleship.

Sansha: I love it when ships look evil, like they know they're the bad guys. Nightmare just looks mean.

ORE: Perfectly pragmatic!
