They are covered in corporate logos for what are, presumably, all the companies who's technologies went into making those ships.

Like a race car. Even real world military hardware can have such logos on the side!

I'd love to see other ship textures revised to include some corporatism, especially the Caldari ones.

Things are only impossible until they are not.

Did notice the racecar sponsor feel of them. Thought it was pretty neat detail.

Didn't notice it until you mentioned it. One more beautiful aspect of these glorious ships.

SoE however pretend to not be a Military.
Unlike the rest.

I actually really like the SoE logo which is very prominently seen. Those logos actually really do stand out on a white ship. I really don't care for that rotating radar thing (moves too fast and is big so draws attention from the rest of the ship) on the Stratios but still think it is one of the best looking ships.

The Stratios does look awesome, but i am too lazy to run missions for it. And i'm not paying jita prices for it. So i will bide my time, or maybe sell my other arm for it.

But i do like the decals, we need Moar!

It looks like a race car, more so than most Eve ships. I mean come on, CCP has a poster model for how smexy ships should be done.... The poor Caldari are going to look even more like the unimaginative bunch of designers that they are*.

I repeat here my wish to have Das Boot theme play whenever you undock with Corax. Also, whenever you attack other players with said Corax, both you and the target hear this song.

They are still very shiny at the moment. When they go boom, it's a good feeling.

On the branding thing, I can see this spreading. Ships flying round space with marketing on the sides and we could have Pepsi v Coke instead of RvB.

Whilst re-enacting Wrath of Kahn? Damn it, CCP, we need sensor dampening nebulas!
