all sansha ships. they look like crap.

supposed to be part of an armada to enslave all of new eden

who wants to fly a bug, a weird lookin spade of sorts, and a bunch of tin cans strapped together?

the ships should look imposing, not "the f*ck?"

I think if you touch the Nightmare you're going to have people rioting...

For that matter who doesn't like a ship that looks like it can stab someone if it runs out of capacitor?!?

Why change the Chimera? There's nothing at all wrong with it.

That chimera image earlier, was shown during the art book announcement. When has it ever been presented as a future design? People keep treating it like one but i havent seen it that way

Anyway, the arbitrator desperately needs more polygons.

CCP is doing an amazing job on new ship designs ...

Here's my list of ships that need rethinking in the looks department as well as my thoughts on them:
Frigates:
• BANTAM (No Seriously)
• IMICUS (My 4yo cousin's toys look less telletubbyish than this ship)
• Griffin (Doesn't exactly look like a flying jamming device)
• Navitas (No fish in EvE)
• Slasher (Less robomoth meets metal detector & more tyrfing [FB] meets Valkyrie [drone]
• Burst !! Just flip it on its side & add a new pilot deck CCP!! Mini tempest style = perfect!!

Cruisers
• BELLICOSE (Needs a whole new look, can't salvage any of that contraption)
• Scythe (Boring, could be much cooler as a smaller tornado-ish design that looks like a scythe)
• Rupture ( it's a cardboard box)
• Caracal (keep the engines they're fine)
• Vexor (hasn't really changed in looks since like 2004)
• Osprey (it's arms are trying to do the tango)

Its not that hard to read through a thread and note which ships get brought up most frequent and concentrate on those

A lot of the Caldari hulls seem to be getting the attention, which is a good thing.

The Osprey should be high on the list of changes imo.

Keep the wings and the nose fins. Elongate the body, similar to the new Caracal but with a short nose, (say, back to the first set of lights, where the body starts to rise).

Minmatar:

Rupture: Too boxy, make it longer and take the bottom part off below the lowest 2 engines, round the rear end a bit, maybe relocate the engines to the upper rear.

Burst: More symmetry! Just like the Stabber.

Probe: Symmetry, and less boxy.

Bellicose: Attach the engines that are on the the top of the vertical "towers" to the hull as well as the solar panels, losing the towers hanging off the front of it, make the rear end narrower and slightly taller.

Gallente:

Thorax: Again, symmetry! Repeat basically what was done to the Stabber. Keep the 747 front end. Add another short wing to the left side to match the right and add the intake holes to both sides.

Atron: Mirror the left side to the right.

Dominix: A less potato looking hull would be greatLol

Celestis: Don't know if this can be re used, it looks like a glob of silly putty with thrusters in it.

Imicus: The ugliest ship there is currently aside from maybe the Osprey. Complete redesign is in order.

Catalyst: I like the flying wing design, but greatly dislike the bridge being on the far end of it. A centered bridge with swept back wings would be awesome. Something akin to the Horton HO-229 prototype would be a cool ship.

Caldari:

Heron: Angle the vertical wings to make an A shape and sweep them back at the top.

Merlin: Lose the chicken head at the top of it, make the hull longer.

Kestrel: Mirror the left side to the right.

Griffin: Complete redesign on this one.

Osprey: Complete Redesign here, too.

Scorpion: Less height on the rear tail, and longer. Slightly narrower in the front.

Bantam: Complete redesign again.

Amarr:

Omen: Cool looking ship but the part hanging off the right side could go.

I think that's all of them, I may be missing a few though. Currently Amarr ships look the best overall by far. Caldari and Gallente are in need of some attention. Excellent work on the hulls that have been redesigned in recent times! Namely the Stabber, Moa, and Crucifier. It may be a personal thing, but the lack of symmetry on some of the hulls just makes them look bad. A great example would be the new Stabber hull compared to the Thorax. Similar shape, but the Stabber looks by far cooler. Looking forward to seeing the new DominixBig smile

Harbinger and the obese bird, Prophecy, are in my opinion very old looking hulls.
Since you completely ****** up ships aspects with the new 'plastic' shaders, the first one (Binger) looks now very very ugly in its Tech2 version.
Same criticism for the tormentor and the magnate hull
All Carthum Conglomerate skins are absolutely hideous, with this shiny red lacquer.

In any case, please dont do anything to the arbitrator hull, which the the best hull of all eve ships in my opinion :)

thorax.. remove the big turd it drags around, also omen need thats side part removing and given a more legion like look too it.

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

TITANS!!!!!!!!

Make them look like anything else, space camel, beach ball, fuzzy bunny, seriously an other look would be a huge plus.

Yawn,  I'm right as usual. The predictability kinda gets boring really.
