This is not a feedback thread on Proteus, just using it as a starting point for comparison against all ships in all releases.

For me it is the Exequrour. The symmetric, vacuum cleaner cargo ship look just does not work. But I am sure it will win battles when people mistake it for a cargo vessel or a space debris.

Didn't you rage on this ship just yesterday?

I dunno. What are my other options? I haven't been paying much attention.What?

This thread seems somewhat redundant.

Like most GD threads though, so carry on I guess.

The worse since Proteus was released? You mean the only ship model they changed since Proteus was released? Like there was only one to talk about? >.> The new hull looks fine, it went from space bug to space vacuum cleaner. What better way to pick up the trash?

The current Scorpion model sucks donkey balls. Give me back the old Scorpion.

I do not like the men on this spaceship. They are uncouth and fail to appreciate my better qualities. I have something of value to contribute to this mission if only they would realize it. - Bill Frug

It's the templar. The amarr fighter used by carriers.

The Machariel. It looks like it has a texture from 2004 and somebody took high-grit to the clear coat. Obviously this has affected everybody as the sub 500m isk resale value gives it worse depreciation than equivalent Korean spaceships.

Lechesis....whatever the feckless thing is called, it's hideous, as is it's Minnie counterpart,
I flat out refuse to fly either of them because I look like a Muppet when flying with my mates....
I don't need to look any more of a Muppet than I already do thank you very much.

? since proteus release ?

The current ridiculousness that is the reaper is beyond awful.

I actually really like the Exequror.

I agree that thing is very poor but it's the old design in a new frock.
The reaper is actually a new design. Sad sad story.

In my opinion nothing has ever or will ever look as bad as the Bantam. It's like someone thought Mega Maid's vacuum would be a good ship to fly.

(Dis)Honorable Mentions: Burst, Reaper, Slasher, Vigil

It's time the minmatar frigates got the love that the caldari cruisers did.

Personally I'm rather pleased the Exequror no longer looks (and indeed physics would have demanded) like it must continually fly in right hand circles all the time.

Asymmetry can still look practical, the old Exequror did not.

And it's not symmetrical actually. The thruster placement is now, but there is a bridge on the right side of the ship that does not exist on the other side. Asymmetrical yet practical and functional.

That works for me.

No, raging would be unconstructive and if directed only at the Exequrour could be construed as providing feedback on the patch.

Nope, just providing an opinion along with others as to what is the crappiest looking ship in EvE currently.1

Bantam before proteus. Bantam after proteus. 2014 was caldari year, it seem like 2015 will be for gallentes.

About time, the Imicus and Celestus look terrible. Beyond that I'd say its time for the Minmatar ships to get love.
