plz don't change the scorpion
It's probably the best looking caldari ship other than the ferox
why do the best looking caldari ships suck ass at anything combat related?


pretty sure they wouldnt touch the scorpion as its already had a major rework. do you remember the old scorpion? it was the ugliest ship.

also, the brawler ferox isnt bad.

The chicken with a briefcase aka Moa
The fleshlight aka Typhoon
The pirate ship aka Rupture

Anything that immediately makes you think of something non-starship.

Will forever see the Typhoon as a fleshlight now. Originally thought of it as a vacuum cleaner attachment.

if you watch the videos that contain an Incursus that CCP puts out, it looks really interesting. Space motorbike. Then you undock one, and it's got neat parts attached to a cardboard box in the middle. Could you detail that cube on the inside with a bit more form?

Oh, I didn't think about that. Yeah, it hasn't been touched in a long time, has it? I'm not sure.

From an aesthetic POV, I have to agree that the new Tempest/Stabber models look better than they used to, however, they look far too clean and hightech now.

Minmatar ships were supposed to look like some insurgents taped them together from debris - now they look more slick and hightech than any other race.

That was in the past.

In the present the Minmatar race is the supreme race. We have the technology. We have the weapons. We have the ships.

:)

But, seriously, it is about time that Minmatar start updating their ship designs. They aren't 'some insurgents' anymore.

Agreed. They're a Republic. Fledgling still maybe, but they're getting their story together. In Rust We Trust may still be the motto, but the rust should be getting a little more polished by this point maybe. :)

Carrier and all caps could use a massive detail bump, and maybe a scale up.

It is probably the most ugly ship in game. Followed by the Blackbird.


The hookbill says it's supposed to look ugly in it's description Lol

I, for one, like a large number of the asymmetric ships in the game- why have both sides the same? Why not have something interesting to see from either side? No?

Well, a lot of the symmetric ones look good too, I can appreciate that. Just leave something in for the both of us.

Ok... ships that need some love...

Rokh is the top of my list. I stare at a texture seam every time I look at that ship and wonder how the artist missed that and how ashamed they must feel for their shoddy work. That, or frustrated that they couldn't fix it- either way, Rokh needs love.

Dominix, poor thing. I understand where they were trying to go with the model, but of all the old models, you have aged the worst. You need some love, and soon. Same goes for a lot of the Gallente line... the curvy plastic/organic approach just aged poorly.

Bellicose (and deriratives). I'm sure some of those who fly you have come to love you, but you have a literal engine block and... bizarre wings that just look wrong. I'd love to see an innovative interpretation of you, but as you are right now is offensive to my eyes.

Rattlesnake. I'm sorry, but I loved the old Scorpion's bizarre, lopsided form and I'd quite happily settle for the new Scorpion with one 'arm' ripped off- I appreciate not wanting to afflict all EVE players with it, so just treat the faction variant of it. Speaking of faction...

Worm, Gila, Vigilant, Bhaalgorn, Rattlesnake, Vindicator. Alas, the Vindicator in the most recent patch has the most beautiful skin, but these are all faction ships, and all the other faction ships got their own, fantastically unique models? Why not these? I've already given you an idea for the Rattlesnake, I'm sure you can think of something for the others...

After that? Be nice to see the T2 ships getting some more love- something to make them more unique and stand out in their role. Always thought the other hictors got the short end of the stick compared to the Phobos. More spinny gravity wells please.

In order of worst looks to best overall I think it should go Caldari, Gallente, Minmatar, Amarr.

I'm fine with asymmetry on Caldari. The Corax is asymmetrical and looks great, but the Moa and Blackbird are too overboad, whereas the Raven's is just fine, I just don't like the engines and cockpit on the Raven from any of its designs. The other that I feel could really use attention is the Typhoon and I think it could really benefit from design cues from Battlestar Galactica. Those are what I'd deem the "urgent" ships.

The only other thing I'd like to see fixed soon is the cockeyed bridge on the Punisher.

Why would people have anything against the Rokh? :o

I think the one consensus is that the Omen need not be touched. And the Rifter. God, that sexy rifter. And anything that looks rusty or asymmetrical is up for grabs. :P Not an ideal "brush-up" pool exactly.

Hyperion- Looks like someone odd combination of a science project gone wrong, and Joe Dirt's Asteroid.

Dominix- Just looks bad, potato-esque in size, shape and if moldy, color. Moldy Potato is oddly fitting.

Apocalypse- Looks like a bananna/vibrator mash-up gone awry. I understand the Amarr and all their religious zealotry flying space dongues is some kind of poetic irony, but seriously...

Raven - is just meh, for the Caldari Mission Runner line ship of choice... it's just not impressive

Moa and Osprey are both so overwhelmingly awful, that you can include all variants of these hulls as ugly.

Celestis is surprisingly un-gallente looking in general. It looks similar to a fat variant of the old nemesis, just more silly.

Scythe is just odd looking, brick with spiky bits and wings jutting out at odd angles.

Symmetrical is ugly. The Omen and the Coercer are beautiful ships.

The worst (best?) part about the Moa is that you can see a really awesome looking ship if you kinda squint, then close your eyes and think of something completely different.

That awkward, offset neck, that strange side pod, those long engines... there's assymmetrical, and then there's the Moa.

Caracal could do with a check-up too.

Do NOT touch my potato king!

Hyperion could probably use some love as well as the evermentioned Moa. And definitely bigger thrusters on the Badger.

Fix the Moa and Osprey finally. It is embarassing to look at since the T3 and new destroyers were introduced and various other ships remodelled. It looked awful in 2003 even.

The Raven is perfect as is, but I would like another version. Call it the Raven Mk. II. It looks exactly like the regular Raven except it's twice the size and has the words "F*** YO SHIP. I'M AWESOME" written on the side of the hull by default.
