EVE General Discussion

Not me. I'm looking out my ship windows during the battle. When the klaxon goes off and I start hull tanking I sprint for my pod.

Tormentor. The physics implied by applying force to the top of a curved object and then discovering that it moves in a straight line … really disturb me.

Sure. But the lower part of the Tormentor would have to be virtually empty for its centre of mass to be as close to the propulsion units as it would have to be in order for it to behave the way it does. Which I suppose it could be. But just looking at it, it seems really counterintuitive.

The lines that make the ships need to show understanding. Like achievements. Like y
our cargo hauler kills some thing you unlock awesome graphics.

All mining barges and transport ships in general are ugly and dated. Make them look cool please.

Imicus : IMO it must be the ugliest looking ship out there. I would keep it though but remodel it's Tech II variant the Helios.

Phoenix : Nothing wrong with it if it would be a freighter, as a bird of rebirth which is going to unload some massive damage I expect something more impressive though.

Ships (including their advanced and faction versions):

Bantam
Condor
Griffin
Hawk (What are these rotating things? The antennas look like whether they have thought: “We need antennas. Let’s put them there.”)
Harpy (These weird tube things.)
Kestrel
Manticore (An awesome ship but the two wings are mounted only on very thin connections with the main hull. It looks not very stable and the wings very heavy.)
Crucifier
Imicus
Burst
Probe
Vigil
All Mining Barges and Exhumers
Badger
Hoarder
Mammoth
Wreath
Cormorant
Corax (Looks like a submarine from WWII. And there is a drone hangar with a force field (like in the concept arts) but the ship cannot use drones.)
Algos (The bug part looks like an old propeller plane or the Nautilus of Captain Nemo.)
Talwar (Looks like a tank from WWI.)
Arbitrator
Omen (These thing on the side bother me personally and it looks not nice from behind with these wide engines.)
Blackbird
Caracal (One of the ugliest ships in my eyes.)
Exequror
Bellicose (The stern.)
Rupture (Where is bug and stern by this thing?)
Scythe
Aeon
Chimera, Wyvern, Leviathan (The hull and the engines of all three ships look outdated and box-like. Need more technological SciFi design and details. And what is the bug of the Leviathan? Some kind of cockpit?)
Nyx
Thanatos
Phoenix
Naglfar
Ragnarok (Looks like a crooked branch.)
Armageddon (A little face-lifting.)
Maelstrom
Typhoon (Is this a ship?)
Harbinger (Looks like some animal with a hard belly landing. The wings do not fit to the hull in my eyes.)
Oracle (Only these parts on the side. They looking heavy but are mounted only on a small connection with the hull. I would add a wider connection or put them direct on the main hull like in the original concept arts.)
Drake (Has 8 missile hardpoints but can only use 6 of them. The two others are useless and need to be removed from the model.)
Naga (The stern.)
Cyclone
Hurricane (One of my favorite ships but the hull should be a little bit wider where now are these two braces. The reason is the ship lacks on realistic hardpoints for turrets and some hardpoints are on these thin wings.)
Ashimmu (Need better hardpoints.)
Amarr Shuttle (Does not look like a ship more like a drone.)
Minmatar Shuttle
All Drones (Not the rogue drones. They do not look like I would imagine drones. Some have wings ... in space. Some look like creatures, planes or mechs. The rogue drones look very alien. That is cool. But for the racial drones I could imagine a more compact and technological design with many details like sensors, antennas and so on. And a little bit smaller weapons. They look like from a cartoon and not from SciFi.)

Personally, I do not like these gold-gray color gradient and these red pattern-gray of advanced Caldari ships.


Other things:

Caldari Sentry Guns (It needs more mass. There must be an ammunition storage and an energy core inside.)
Stations (Mostly Caldari.)
Starbase structures (I would like to see different designes (and attributes of armor, shield etc.) for all races and not only these common design. And maybe some unique structures for every race.)
Missions objects (Stations, ruines, wreckages, asteroides etc. etc.. They looking outdated and repeat themself to often from mission to mission. Only the combination changes (Sometimes they push objects together to create "new" objects.). Need more variations, e.g. different types and sizes of mining stations or pirate bases. E.g. Guristas-type small stations, hangars, yards and so on. So the missions becoming more varied from the objects. The wreckages and station ruines are much to big. E.g. "Old Space Shuttle".)
Gatling Pulse Laser (It is too long when it comes out of hulls like the Punisher. The weapon is longer than the hull is broad.)

If CCP touches the Moa, sexy beast that it is, I will end myself (ingame)

Rokh

The Scythe. Not only because the Scythe Fleet has always been cool (and is even more cool now), but also because the Scythe no longer has any ties to being a mining vessel. Please make it look like a ship that was actually designed to be in combat scenarios (whether that's performing as logistics or a gun/missile boat).

I remember this runner up in the DeviantArt Teir3 BC contest: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Tsunami-182569146

While I'm not saying use that model, it's got a very Scythe feel to it, with the Mantis like fins in front. Make the Scythe something more like that.
