So playing on a potatoe computer, I'm forced to play on low graphics for EVE to run smoothly.
And so I did manage to find a Drifter Battleship today, but omfg it is fugly, which is purely due to Low Shaders setting.
Surely it's not supposed to look like this:

Going to Medium shaders makes it look just fine.

I ran this past our lead graphics programmer and artist responsible for the asset at the time. It is, unfortunately, a limitation of our low-quality shaders rather than the asset. Hopefully we can address this with the work that is going on for the next pass of PBR updates.

Actually, the low shader version looks kinda badass in a retro-style way.

Yeah, except the effect is tearing a bit through the hull and such :P And it looks kinda silly in movement
