Ok here is a question, what ship do you think looks unbelievably gorgeous and would love to fly more of but that you don't get to actually fly it because it doesn't work for your play style or opportunities?

Mine is the Naga, it just looks gorgeous Nice flat side just make the kind of Turret boat I would love to fly but I have never even flown one because I have never been able to convince myself I could ever use it.

What's yours?

Mine is the Garmur, It's just a lot of money for something that is going to get popped a lot of the time

I'd like a cruiser sized hac version of the hull design for more versatility.

Nagas used to be a meta.

And then Ishtars were a thing.

Doesn't have to mean they suck in the meta or are less competitive just that your play style may not fit it or you can't afford it

I always liked the Abaddon. Such an aesthetically pleasing ship.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

I'd like to see a mini-Hel. A drone Battleship maybe.

Missile boat Cyclone just don't do it for me.

Barghest

- Price tag
- Totally wasted on me
- It would probably be blasted to bits as soon as I get one because I would just fly it around and pew pew recklessly.

Oh and the Revenant, because why not? Space turd with eyes.

I have yet to discover a ship I cannot find a reason to fly. My hangers are full of all sorts of sexy ships.

I suppose carriers would be as close of an example as I could come up with. Such a cool concept, but in reality I do not get the opportunity to fly them (my activities are bit too "under the radar" when in WH space and I don't spend much time in null these days). Even if one of them were beautiful, I would not have much opportunity to fly one. Good thing they are all mostly ugly.

Crime, it is not a "career", it is a lifestyle.

I love the Scorpion class ship(Scorpion, Rattlesnake etc), but I can never stay in one for long periods because of how slow battleships are.
Who thought it was a good idea to have spaceships move slower than a turtle in winter?
Battleships should move a lot faster in my opinion.

I miss having ISK.

The Maelstorm. They used to be a thing, but apparently active shield tanking sailboats are not generally welcome these days.

And all of the attack battlecruisers seem to be overshadowed by the Ishtar now. I remember when fleets of pulse Oracles and Rail Nagas were a thing.

New meme!
Because of ISHTAR!

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Not quite answering your question but I just had to buy myself a Stratios. It doesn't suit my play style at all and I only use it as a shuttle.

Almost every non-ugly ship above 250M ISK (with equipment). Too expensive to lose - too expensive to fly. Nightmare, SoE cruiser, Rattle, Tengu, Legion, etc. etc. etc.
