EVE General Discussion

Worst? BANTAM.
Falcon not far behind (not you, CCP Falcon! The other Falcon... you know what I mean ). Can't tell which side is the front once cloaked, not mentionning the awful gradient gold-to-dark that CCP (thank god) dropped right before V3ing the Rhea.
As a third position, I'd say tie between golem, imicus, and burst... And all the mordu's ships (sorry!)

Logi frigates are not lucky there, but eh its not a fatality! Look at the navitas for instance. Its an old but nice design.

Best? Widow.
Manticore not far behind. Both ships suceed in a way that they have a design that matches their job.
Third place? The Onyx. Or... hmm.. Though choice! I do like the Crow, but I also have a weakness for the Naga <3 Lets call it a tie.

Sorry, I'm a Caldari pilot :p

What can I say, sometimes incredibly good looks comes at the cost of good judgement.

And the Imicus is pretty terrible, my very first character in eve went the trading route because I looked at the picture in the market window and went "Oh hell no". When the Iteron V is the better-looking choice you know it's ugly.

widow wins hands down

blackbird is probably the ugliest now they fixed the moa

Gotta agree, though I also cringe at the Imicus.

Best?
I really like the new Moa, and the Nightmare as well.

Best - All symmetrical ships

Worst - all asymmetrical ships

Seirously, asymmetry is a scourge that has plagued the aesthetic of EVE for too long. Pretty is not a bad word, and the sooner all the ship models can become symmetrical and pretty the better.

edit - I still don't get the new Moa love though. Sure, it is indeed quite pretty now that it is symmetrical, but I think the new Condor model blows it out of the water.

Best: Widow.
Runner Up: Phoenix.

Worst: Bantam. It looks like a dog asserting dominance on a hoover...

**thread's

Best: Dramiel, Rifter/Wolf/Jag, Garmur, Venture

Worst: Pick a Gallente ship at random. Also the Amarr supercarrier that looks like half a breadbox

Best: i would say the garmur now.. just looking at it especially the back half i think of current fighter jets =D

Worst.. the Mimatar logi frig..

Best (New): Manticore. Not only is it a good redesign, but of all the divergent T2 designs, it stays faithful to its base hull. You can still see a Kestrel somewhere underneath it.

Runner-Up: Stratios. This is one fine ship. The only thing that I'm deducting points for is the rotating sensor array and the ubiquitous spotlights that are somehow visible because I guess the vacuum of space has the same atmosphere as a dusty room.

Best (Old): Kestrel. Before the addition of visible missile turrets, the Kestrel's hull was the one that most resembled its function. Each of those fingers in the middle were obviously the launchers. It's asymmetric, but not overwhelmingly so, and the ship's design is solid.

Runner-Up: Rifter. Its front-loaded design gives it a powerful look, and it sort of resembles a pod racer, which is fitting for the fastest Empire in New Eden.


Worst (New): Crucifier/Sentinel. The old versions were mean looking, like they were going to fly up to you and stab you in the face with an ice pick. The new ones look like the body language for "Meh."

Runner-Up: The Scorpion/Widow. That's right, the Widow is one of the worst. Why? Because it was obviously designed as a practical joke. CCP gave the thing claws for crying out loud.

Worst (Old): Blackbird/Falcon. What the heck is happening on this hull? It's like someone took a bunch of rectangles and threw them in a blender.

Runner-Up: Navitas. There are some ships that are just trying way too hard to be different. Among these, the Navitas is king.
