I was not aware there was some requirement for what a "spaceship" looks like. If it's in space, and under it's own power, it's a spaceship.

When you build it in space, never enter atmo, and are not dependent on armor plating for defense, you can make you ships look like whatever you want to.

Stick spikes on. Make it wobbly. Have wierd outcroppings. Add more spikes. More wobble. Some random flashing lights.

Sansha Kuvakei doesn't give a **** about your particular opinion of his ships aesthetics. Of course, he's also barking mad.


But the long story made short is that given there are a large number of people who greatly like the current design, the chance of CCP redoing the models and skins into yet another generic streamlined forward facing mono hulled ship with uninteresting fins is very slim headed towards snowflake in hell.


I do like the sound of added 'wobble'. Can we have modules for that?

Don't you dare touch the Sansha ships!
We need ships with random spikes all over the place!

I personally think Sansha ships are in a good place in terms of aesthetics. They are human ships, but tremendously different from the other factions'. They look both highly advanced and alien: smooth and uniform hulls with a metallic tone, lack of windows apart from those strange red domes, spikes and even animal-like spines (see lower Revenant). Even their atmospheric sounds resemble to organic machines (they sound like a heartbeat). And then you remember they're piloted by reprogrammed cyborgs.

That said, I wonder how would they look if we kept that style and bring them cylindrical hulls like these:

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Example 4

While keeping all the spikes, the spines, the red domes and the metallic hulls.

Why TRON designs?

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

Ship named after a scary dream is scary.
So...Op success.

the first one is a blank, can't see or load any pictures on that site.

#2 & 3 look either like bundled weed with thrusters or like the most impractical space ships ever conceived, not very scary at all.

#4... Well... It's cute. Kinda cute, somehow. Like an unfinished baby Tristan with one big cute bubbly blue eye in the middle.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

The Sansha line is awesome. Hands off.


Not an empty quote.

To much individuality is being stripped from EvE's hull designs of late. Take for instance the lose of the far more original hull designs of the Moa, Crow and Exequror and there replacement by very nice but far more boring and generic models. I fear we shall lose the Dominix soon.


The new Dominix is going to look like this.

I'm going to agree with the others here that the Sansha ships are just fine. They're unique and definitely convey the disturbed and insane nature of their designer, Sansha Kuvakei. I'm also going to agree that the mothership needs less random bulges and more spikes. It looks, I hate to admit it, a bit too much like a massive celestial poo.

All those designs you linked are fine for the places they're currently found but you must admit they're very traditional and not very terrifying.. or interesting.. at least not in the way that Sansha ships are.

i quite like the uniqueness and alieness of them .. which is part of the lore is it not?

why try too make them look more like the other ships in eve .. we all want more unique designs for ships in eve not less,
serpentis and gurista could use a whole new line of ships unique to them alone.

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats
