I rather like the Gallente destroyer, I might finally have an excuse to get that skillbook.

Who's the more foolish the fool or the fool who replies to him?

What's this?
A Gallente ship that doesn't make me puke? (Well, aside from the Megathron and the Nyx)

Three hits and one miss.

The new Minmatar destroyer looks awful.

I know I've said this in other threads but, I have to say it again: the Minmatar destroyer looks like a damned brick with a pillbox stuck on top and a snowplow attached to the front. It's atrocious, lacks imagination, bears no resemblance to any other Matari ship design and... did I mention that it's just downright ATROCIOUS?

Come on CCP! As awesome as the new Stabber and Tempest are this new destroyer is nasty! Please rethink this ship. I never thought you could design something so awful that it makes the Moa look sleek and sophisticated but, damned if you didn't.

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

The minmatar one does not look very appealing.

I don't know what to think about gallente it looks a lot difference from many gallente ships I have flown. It looks more like a space exploration ship than a destroyer.

The caldari destroyer looks awesome and I know I will be flying it in the future.

The amarr destroyer looks cool, but it look too much like the coercer. The front part is the same, it has the same side mounted cockpit. It just looks too much like the coercer to be really a new design.

The Gallente ship has balls. 'nuff said.

The Caldari ship makes me want to find a WWII gaming society. I'll probably just watch Das Boot instead.

The Amarr ship reminds me of a MARTA bus. (MARTA is Atlanta's public transit system.)

The Minmatar ship reminds me of a WWII film of an Iwo Jima flamethrower tank with an optional bushcutter/minesweeper attachment. Also, the WWII tank was much cooler.

The amarr one looks like a warmed over coercer which isn't bad.

The minmatar ship looks like the monitor from the civil war with a solar panel drill taped to the front (ram?)... Terrible...

I'm digging the caldari one and will be buying one just for the looks. The gallente one looks good too.

Loving all 4.

The Minmatar one looks truly rugged. Like a brick fullaknives. Big smile

Amarr I was under the impression it would be Star Destroyerish. Sad But I like the old Coercer.

Love the Gal / Cal ones.

So, everybody gets a new Destroyer hull, and the Amarr get a re-skinned Coercer? Cool. **** those slave-owning religious zealots. P

I like the Minmatar one, but I think it would look much better without those blocky things at the front.

A re-skinned Coercer with a drone bay, not too shabby.

I like the new Gallente destroyer though, can't wait to slap those balls around a bit. Cool
Its good to be [Gallente](http://dl.eve-files.com/media/1209/QEQlJ.jpg).

I feel like the amarr one should be redone. Seems lacking compared to the others.

The caldari is my favorite.

The Ore frig looks nice but most of the DD's are just meh to me. But the Minmatar DD is just a sad looking excuse of a ship. It's one large box with a smaller one on top and a few pointy solar sails glued up front. It just seems like a lazy attempt at ship making.

The best thing there by FAR is the salvage drone :D
Finally.

The Caldari and Gallante designs are classic, very well done. No more need be said.

The Minmatar one clearly has WIP on it (it's the only one that does) and has a note below it pointing this out in no uncertain terms. I think this model, with a few tweaks and some serious work done on the textures, could end up being excellent.

While the Amarr one has some very vague resemblance to the Coercer it's linage (to my eye at least) is far more closely related to the new Amarr Stealth Bomber hull the Purifier... which lends a nice bit of sensibility to the line. At the very least it seems to be a cross between the two. It now only leaves the Nemesis as the odd man out in terms of most ships having design similarities with other ship hulls of their given race, although it does have the nose section of a Tristan.

To me it looks like the missile boats will have 8 hard points, and the drone boats will have 4... which seems just about right. It will be interesting to see what the final bonuses are.

That is pretty cool, you should EVE Mail it to some of the Art Designers.

That big WIP probably stands for Work in Progress so you might have a chance of influencing the design.

Agreed, that's a pretty good effort.
