EVE General Discussion

I think supers need to be about 25% bigger. Reflective of mins used to make and the fact they cannot dock

edit as was first posted from a phone.

The vagabond.

And for others, it didn't change a damn thing.
Sansha ships, T3s, Navy Apocalypse and a few others I can't remember right now look exactly the same as they did pre-V3, with the exception of the slightest bit more shine and in a few cases some V3'd logos. Amarr's changes were rather minor as well, but at least the difference between V2 and V3 was noticeable. By comparison most of the Minmatar, Gallente, and Caldari lineups got new textures as part of the V3 process.

Also Sansha ships have this weird iridescent thing going on, but I think that started happening before they were V3'd.

The only one that desperately needs attention is the Imicus hull.

"De gustibus et coloribus non disputandem" and this topic is certainly proof of that

While some ship changes would make them look more aesthetically pleasing I kind of like the off-beat ships and the little oddities that make some ships stand out (Omen is a good example).

I personally think the Moa hull is seriously ugly but then I've never flown one and even if I had I'm not sure I'd want it changed. (I actually think most Caldari ships are ugly).

I like my Gallente hulls, I've grown kinda fond of my Dominix by using, my cute little (well...not really) space potato of death. It's not sexy but it's...iconic. The Imicus hulls I actually genuinly like(tm).

The Vexor could use a retexture, or at least some higher res textures. The cyber-hairdryer looks kind of blurry right now.

Now the Proteus, maybe it's my colourblindness but the textures of that thing I really do not like...

I think the minmatar ships need duct tape showing on them... I bet they can do that with the new textures they are using.

Although if anyone touches the Nyx I'll cut them. I hate those green ship hippy bastards but damn the Nyx is pretty.

PLZ PLZ PLZ do sth with the Hookbill!
It is probably the most ugly ship in game. Followed by the Blackbird.

Every sci fi has to have it's ugly ships. Anything Klingon, for example. Look at it this way: consider the starships designers of New Eden in parallel with car designers of the real world (I know, another "RL" comparison - sue me). The Subaru WRX is one of the ugliest cars on the road, but it goes harder than most others in its class. Ferrari could use a facelift, too. Lamborghini's look gorgeous, but they're too heavy and cumbersome for any real performance applications. Yes, I am aware that they race them, but the Nissans are the ones that are winning the GT1s.

If every ship was beautiful, there would be no art. There would be no comparison. And on that note, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - one man's Maserati is another man's eyesore (it's my favourite Italian maker, tbh, but I'll admit they don't even come close to the gorgeousness of an Alfa Romeo, which by the way WILL fall apart the moment you touch it).

I like all the ships the way they are. I like the changes that were made to the Mega and the Vaga and the others, and I liked their old models too. I like the ugly ships, even the Moa, because without them, we would have no appreciation for the gorgeous ones like the Talos and the Hyperion. You may disagree that these are good looking ships, but you're making part of my point for me by doing that - what I find gorgeous, you might find ugly. And it's why any serious overhalls of ship design should not be made.

Perhaps a tweak here and there to update ships, like with the Mega - sure, it looks different now, but all in all, it's still the same size, and general shape, and I think that's important. This is original art we're talking about here, and so would be a new Moa, more than likely, but changing it would only demean the artwork that makes EVE unique.

After the Stabber got OHMYGODGORGEOUS, one of the few eyesores left in the game is the Ruppie.

(I like the Moa...)

Actualy... Omen is one of a few asymetric ships that looks fantastic
