So, we have ship designs along all the three axes: The "long" ones, like the Armageddon; the "tall" or "vertical" ones like the Naglfar, and the "wide" or "horizontal" ones like the Catalyst.

But where's my diagonal design ship? I think that CCP should fix this mistake like rite nao.

wow.
I have been enlightened.
Horizontal... Yes.
Vertical... Yes.

But DIAGONAL?
It must be done.

What about round ones. Flying saucers, dammit. With death rays. Or spherical Sputnik style ones with a 100% bonus vs rogue drones so we can be assured the DRF will fly them and we can be all TROLOLOLOL

Hell yeah! And I want a cube shaped one, too.

And year, Succubus is totally Sputnik.

The old scorpian had a certain diagonalness to it.

I vote not for diagonal ships, I want ships where the cockpit stays still and the rest of the ship rotates around it.

I like the old scorp. Ships should not look like animals, especially Earth animals, given the lore.

Exequror has a little diagonalness to it, with the big cigar pod thing. I don't see a 45 degree myrm being anything other then odd, but having a "diagonal-ific-ness" can be cool.

Merlin, Tristan, Dramiel, Rapier, Huginn and similar models all have significant wingy bits that are diagonal-ish to some degree.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Helios is as close as we have thus far. As much as ship orientation is meaningless in spaceflight, orientation along one of the 3 axis is less disorienting than something crazy like a true diagonal or a diagonal slanted forward or rear.

You guys are all lame.

What we need are shark shaped ships.

With laser turrets.

On the head... erm cockpit.

Ones with holes in them, thus making it harder to hit them. Or better yet, ships that are in distinct pieces!

its called Minmatar. Take the Breacher/hound for example, which is made from toilet roll tubes and a Xanax box.
