I hear all the time the look ulgy, the reason it fits in the story the use rubber banz and duck tape,
now i see all types of good looking ships. Why couldent the duck tape the skin of it ??
Now everybody can build a ship, every faction mines the same ores why should the ship look uglyer .The ore in minmatar space aint good ?
now eve online exists now for almost 12 or more years i can understand that the ships looked ugly in the start of the game but come on now?. There are drifters now and factional warfare how can minmatar not come up with a shiny design of some sort stealing tech from the drifters or something calling it a ,New age for Minmatar .Minmatar also getting more of a united state
but keep there tribal way of life, revamping all the ships of minmatar in a more flashy design maybe copying some of the angel type things mixing it with something else. pls no more ffing solar panels remove those man come on how u gonna expect Minmatar ships beat drifters with solar panel tech lol

DO NOT CHANGE THE VAGABOND!!!

Meh... I kind of agree on the solar panels. Maybe exchange with blades and spikes, make them look more like the Reavers from Firefly.

OP if you don't like the look of the Minmatter ships then fly something else. These are some of the most popular and iconic ships in the game. If you need a reason why Minmatter ships look different then go read the lore, it's all in there.

They're not solar panels, they're heat sinks.

and even if they were solar panels, free energy is free...

Even if it isnt very much free energy why not?

Hands off my Minmatar-Ships!

Yep, some need a little graphic overhaul to get them in line with the newer shipskins, that's right.

The Minmatarian-Style is awesome. It's something special, other races don't have. Duck Tape, Rust.. it's called "cool" Blink

Not a good way to start a sentence, and it is not because your english is bad, but because you obviously slacked.

Those are radiators, there are 3 ways to get rid of heat conduction, convection, and radiation. 2 of them are good guess which one is available in space... hint not the one of the good ones.

not only do they make a lot of sense, matter in fact other factions are silly for not having them. I absolutely love the space sail aesthetics HANDS OFF.

If you dislike the look of Minmatar ships, perhaps you should try flying Gallente or Amarrian ships instead.

The issue with matari ships final view been discussed many many times. It's not a problem at all. You should have read the story of minmatar then you will understand the whole tragic and cruel true about it.

Their engineers main goal was as soon as ships built they should be immediatelly moved to the battlefield against Amarrians. Simply have no time and materials and manpower to think about final look of the ship. In addition to that in most of the cases the majority of ships been blown durong the clashes with outnumbered Imperials Navy Fleets.

Minmatars regions have same type of ores laying arround you are correct but again minmatar was always lack of main source - manpower cause amarrians were constantly taken thousands of slaves back to Empire.

Eve online is almost 12 years old some changes must be made with minmatar its just a fact

Minmatar ships
Shield tanking
Armor tanking
missiles
Turrets
Drones small /meduim
Not so good looking ships
Hard skill training

Ammar
Armor tanking
Drones /heavy
turrets
1 Missile ship
Good looking ships Easy skill training

Gallente
Armor tanking
Drones /heavy
Turrets
Good looking ships Easy skill training

Caldari
Shield tanking
Missiles
Turrets
drones small /meduim
Meduim skill training
Good looking ships Meduim skill training

What i mean by skill training is the don't have to train many difrent things and the have good looking ships
we minmatar too many difrent type of ships shield tanking armor tanking turrets missiles and really ugly ships the most of them

CCP should make a "duct taped" SKIN available for Matari ships.

Most Matari ships look fine, with a few exceptions; Burst and Rupture hulls come to mind. I love my Broadsword but it is ugly as hell


The rust adds character; just wait till all ships rust and get dirty. Better go bust out the buffer wheel for that gold plating

Every Matari ship since the Loki, at the very least, is decent looking. Hell, the Burst, Scythe and Bellicose are the only ones I'd make any real changes to.

Compared with some of the things the Caldari still have to put up with (Bantam anyone? Or Griffon?), even our worst aren't that bad.

Unlike the Amarrian, the Matari ships are actually finished, and unlike the Gallente, they don't look like two or three ships that crashed into eachother.



So...yes. Old ships of all races need work, not just the Minmatar.
