Sad The Moa class hull

Hard to find a more ugly ship. Who was high when the pencil hit the paper for the first time?

In a ridiculously ancient Test Server Feedback thread that I won't be able to find anymore, CCP BunnyVirus once said that if he could just go and redesign any ship he thought was ugly, he'd redesign the Moa.

So at least one person with a CCP ID badge agrees with you.

I am happy I do not fly the thing, but I see them every now and again and Shocked

I feel bad for those Caldari pilots that climb in the cockpit and roll up the tinted windows.

As I look at the Minmatar and Caldari ships that have gotten redesigns, I imagine what it would be like if all of the strange-looking ships (Moa, Bantam, Typhoon, Burst) were also brought in line with the modern aesthetic for those races.

I rather like what I see. Especially for Minmatar.

the moa hull may be some kind of ugly but its a original design, tbh i like it more than drake/hurricane!

although like the "modern touch" given to some hulls that were redone verry much, like the stabber and the tempest
so if more hull get redone in that fashio i like it.

Do you have a quarter? Toss it in any direction and you'll hit an ugly ship (not just the MOA). Most of the Caldari frigates fall into the "brutally ugly" column, along with the Caracal. The rest of the Caldari line-up is actually fairly decent.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

I have to admit, the Typhoon getting the drone bonus over the 'Geddon would have made a lot more sense due to its structure. At least it's not split-weaponned anymore.

The Moa, Bantam, Caracal (Add thrusters to the bottom somewhere, please, my grade-9 physics teacher is rolling in his grave even more than at the mention of fluidic eve space) and Typhoon just look really wrong for their intended role...
Also, removing that weird drone-bay-turned-thruster on the cyclone might help make eve a prettier place while keeping the rust.

But yeah, the Moa hull is the ugliest ship in eve and needs a redesign one and a half orders of magnitude more than the stabber ever did.

Blackbird is not pretty, but looks like a flying factory not designed for combat, which kind of makes sense (although adding more spinning radar dishes would help). It's ugly but not nearly to the extent of our friend the Moa here.

Also, LMFAO at the EVE lore saying the Caldari thinking the Hookbill is ugly...

The Dominix.

The spaceturd should be retired (or updated).

Yaay!!!!

Do not touch the moa, bantam, or min shuttle. I also think the typhoon looks fine and have no opinion on the burst. Thank you.

Yeah and blackbird pilots like myself put a bag over our heads too as lets face it, it ain't pretty. Thank god that nobody sees the blackbird for very long as it either dies in a fire or works like it should on a 50/50 roll of the dice. Compared to the Moa the blackbird is the child you'd lock in the cellar and not tell anyone about.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

I wish the Scorpion hadn't been redesigned to look like a scorpion.

Something I think would help hull design, and this is purely aesthetic, would be to make cross sectional drawings of the ship interiors.

I love the Moa, partly because it generates so many tears from the people who don't. It's like Marmite and I'll quite happily pop open a jar and lick the spoon in front of you for the reaction.

The Celestis says hi!

On a serious note, leave the T1 Hull alone. But change the T2 Variants. How come the vagabond is the only one with a noticeable difference from its T1 Hull? Give the Eagle some love.
