normally i would say the prophecy is fine, but getting a new model for the damnation/absolution would be pretty cool.

Moa is perfect, please don't drastically change it CCP (or if you do, at least keep the asymmetry)

The only absolutely horrible looking ships in the game are the Imicus Osprey, Aeon and the Revenant. Griffin, Myrm, and Hyperion are sort of strange - looking, but nowhere near ugly like the aforementioned ships.

edit: I don't really think any of the Minmatar ships are that bad, they're supposed to be rustbuckets, so I would say most of them fit that part fine, but if there had to be an ugliest matar ship it would def be the Stabber.

The Aeon. One half has gentle unimposing round shapes that resemble a child's toy, the other looks like the ship was split in half, had its guts torn out and then had another half of a real carrier attached to it. The asymmetry is staggering and the end result hideous.

Please don't change my Moa, it's beautiful. I love my Moa, you other races are jealous of it's beauty. =3

I'd actually consider flying a Prophecy if you got rid of it's beer-belly, though. It has the making for a majestic ship. Amarr ships should all look majestic, so some of their ships (like the Omen, get rid of the tumor) should be majestic to fit their lore.

Bhaalgorn. The blood raider pattern looks strange on it, the turret count doesn't fit the hardpoints, and the bonuses don't fit the hull which usually gives RoF and gets faster in advanced versions. The Bhaalgorn actually takes a small step down in speed from the base Armageddon and goes EWAR. Really needs it's own model IMHO.

Scythe/Moa and variants.

Personally I think they could do a lot better with the Thrasher/Sabre as well.

with you on the bhaalgorn, but the thrasher/sabre? 99% of players will say that's one of the better designed ships.

Every ship I look at is like a Picasso, A work of art in it's own right.

But with flames and flashy lights, I think CCP got it perfect.

Even the Scorp is unsymmetrical if someone were to look close enough.

The new shaders really add a sense of depth.

I think the game really needs a "Pimp Ship"

Ludicrously expensive, and gold plated with a large aquarium as part of the hull, with live sharks, and neon lights that flash in time with music. Diamond encrusted windows and Carbon fibre surrounds.

A un-hittable sig radius and no top slots would make it very viable.

A Trillion ISK ship is all the game is missing.

i could see this as being a nex ship. So no.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

I have to disagree about the Aeon. In the description it is mentioned that it acted as a mobile citadel. Being a carrier like that, I think it fits this role perfectly. I imagine a large city in the one half, churches, points of worship etc. And the other half the tactical fighter launcher. From a RP perspective, I think this ship was perfectly designed.

All the Minmatar Republic need to be redesign again except the Rifter hulls and the Hurricane.
Also the Republic's industrials need a touch of love as well.

Why the industrials? Wraeth and Mammoth both look realy cool.
The Mammoth would work as heavy tanking platform too if you let it fit some guns ;).

Why the hell can't I fitt capital repairs or shield booster on an Orca ... it's an CAPITAL ship!

I find it funny that most people found the asymmetrical ships to be ugly. There is a known correlation between symmetry and beauty. Google it. Honestly though I think the ship designs should be left alone. I was annoyed when they made the scorpion more symmetrical. Being a player from 2003, I've learned to appreciate all the ship designs. Caldari are my favorite mainly do to their asymmetry. Who said all space ships need to be symmetrical? Bring back my scorpion!

So all the ship graphic resources are located on the users machine right? Why not give the user access to their local graphics so they can take a graphic of their choosing and name it correctly and just drop it in their ship folder. Then when playing the game the users local view will have that skin stretched onto that ship. The server shouldn't care what graphics are being displayed to the local environment so long as it knows what ship it actually is. I would just take my current ship graphic and shift the color towards green and dump it back in so I can have a Green Battle Ship!

Moa needs love, but the Osprey is fine to my eyes.

Scythe model is fine - focus more on the ship abilities plox.

The hoarder needs a redesign, it makes me feel depressed when I pull a Hoarder out of storage for some fuel run or something, but I'm pretty happy with the Wreathe.

I'll come right out and say the Talos sucks.

Most of the Gallente frigates look like pieces of dung, and I wouldn't miss any except the Maulus/keres hull and maybe the incursus.

So it takes me a few days of additional reading in the forums before I discover that EVE has a big NO-NO attached to user-end mods, so this idea of mine is no good. On the one hand nobody pointed this out to a new player so I had to discover it on my own, and on the other hand nobody ragged on me for being stupid either. Guess I should be happy about it.

Because then you would be posting video and screen shots of your monstrosity on the intertubes which would ruin immersion for all of Eve's current and future playerbase. Duh.

Minmitar Carrier. It's so ugly it's sinful.

It looks like they were halfway through with construction when they ran out of material, let it sit unpainted in the hangar until it rusted, then sold it anyway.





Nothing wrong with that. That's exactly how the Chinese got thier carrier
