Ever notice that some Eve ships would look better if they were made to fly the opposite way (backwards).

Cynabal
Drake
Maelstrom (backward and upside down)

Nope.

I've noticed those ships but don't want to see any of their designs reversed.

It looks like a gigantic gun it reverse. I naturally assumed this was the correct orientation.

I would say Tornado. But if you want to fly one backwards, just hop in a Myrm.

The best example of this is the FEROX.

I mean, look at it: it's a VERY good looking hull...flying ass-first:

Pretty sure the Rupture was originally designed to fly in the other direction, it even has a place for the exhaust!

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

dramiel and daredevil imo

also, the raven shouldn't fly at all, just tumble around randomly.

I should buy an Ishtar.

Just wait until your cache gets crazy full and it will flip itself around. Same for the Tengu, and they're both rather nice-looking when it happens.

How exactly would it differ?

For a while there was a glitch that caused ships to fly backwards.

It still looked 'off'. So flying backwards won't fix the aesthetic problem.

I remember my Tengu flew backwards for 6 months and that I renamed it a$$face. I almost was sorry to see it fixed when I finally was forced to clear my cache. (Almost....)

That's probably because the ships had nuclear fire coming out of their faces

You guys have no aesthetic sense.
Especially the guy who said 'Revelation'. You're bad.

Leviathan. I honestly thought the thing was flying backwards the first time I saw a video of one.
