I know there are tons of topics about it, but still... Moa is just ugly and it needs to remodeled.

Thematically said, it does not fit to Caldari philosophy of architecture. And it should. CCP?

NO. NO. NO! The Moa being the ugliest ship in EVE is probably the only thing that the EVE player base can agree on. Do NOT take that from us.

If you want to change the moa i think you obviously havn't flown the moa..

Its a glorious beast, a dinosaur holding a suitcase. If you want to fix an ugly ship look at the griffin.

The Bantam gives the Moa a run for it's money in the ugly category.

You guys are crazy... the moa is a gross abomination... even the people that 'like' it for some irrational reason say it is ugly. It is actually a problem since I don't fly any of its variants because of the model and I'd like to. You can zoom out but you still know and eventually you see it again.

In addition it looks nothing like the other Caldari hybrid platforms. The ships are typically elongated hulls (Rokh, Naga, Tengu, Ferox, Cormorant) often with wing like fins (Merlin, Tengu, Ferox, Cormorant). Then there is the Moa... which I guess is supposed to look like the extinct moa?

I agree it should be remodeled to fit the ship line up better.

Why would "don't be "ugly" be a prerequisite for internet spaceships? The Phoon is ugly as hell, it's par of the reason it's so glorious.

QFT. The Moa is so ugly that it's become iconic, famous for it's ugliness. To be honest if you're not zoomed out so far you can't see your ship, you're doing it wrong so looks matter little IMO.

Moa's ugliness makes it pretty cool and unique. Eve has some really creative and original ship designs, and CCP's art team is probably the one where I'm happy to sit back and say "**** it you guys know what your doing".

Plus the Moa getting streamlined and diluted just paves the way to some **** saying that that the cyclone or typhoon don't look pretty enough and those two godforsaken works of spaceship art get nerfed and homogenized because they were just too cool for school.

It will definitely get a remodel but I wouldn't expect anything too drastic since there are many passionate defenders of its current look. It just needs a little sprucing up and a higher pixel count.

And while on the topic, please CCP, give back the old awesome scorpion model. The new one reminds me of the old route 66 hotels and restaurants shaped like fruit and dinosaurs. It doesn't fit caldari design at all.

Please make it looks alike to the Rook or Rokh.

The Moa is such an amazing looking ship because it's that ugly. It's the best in the world at what it does and attempting to make it more "pretty" would be like wanting to make the Machariel more ugly.

Just seeing the words 'symmetrical' and 'Moa' together would make me literally figuratively physically ill.

Eagle's a great ship, but I will never fly one, my self-esteem won't allow it.

All posts and mails screencapped and time stamped, including out of EVE, you will not reverse on me.

Might come in handy!

Yep, a quick kill board check confirms people here rarely to never fly these ships, so are likely trolls.

Look guys like all Caldari ships it's a committee work where the other half simply forgot to tell the other group what they were doing.
