EVE General Discussion

The maller looks awesome since it was updated as do the new paint jobs on the full ship list as a whole.

But what if any, do you think need a reworking of their hulls?

I vote for the Harbinger. Great ship, very versatile, but is not in keeping with the rest of the Amarian fleet.

Then I'd like to see an update to the Typhoon, it looks like a rusty brick, closley followed by the Apocalypse / Paladin. For me, the underside looks like a construction site.

What changes, if any, would you like CCP to add to the list for a facelift and which ships would you hate to see changed and why??

I think the prophecy looks awesome.

Minmatar ships in general tend to alternate between badass (rifter, maelstrom, etc) and akward-looking heap of junk. The rifter is proof enough that a ship can look jury-rigged and rusted without looking ********.

Gallente hulls that need urgent love:

Imicus/Helios
Celestis/Arazu/Lachesis

No amount of motherly love can make the current models look good, even though the ships are great.

CCP finally admitted they made it. They're probably waiting to put it in until the new missile launchers have been sorted.

Tempest because it's the only one that comes with it's own stand.




Lose the square foot.

Imicus / Helios

Worst ship I've ever had the (dis)pleasure to sit in. It's just so ********, awkward, ill-conceived, ridiculous, fugly, cringe-worthy, embarrassing, but thankfully at least the Helios can cloak to hide its face... the face even a mother couldn't love. It looks like a robot riding a wheelchair leaning of a crutch, with buck teeth, head like a sock monkey and it seems to be screaming "WHYYYYYY??????"

Moa + its variants.

Space chicken that looks like it's muttering inanities to itself as it scuttles about the universe. I don't find it quite as disappointing and atrocious as the Imicus / Helios, but it's pretty close, and actually more ridiculous-looking, in that silly awkward way that doesn't make any sense. I hate the fact that the Gila is a Moa hull because it's so effing ugly, yet such a great ship when it comes to function.

Lesser offenders of the visual senses:

Celestis + variants. Guh, wtf are those supposed to be? Well, at least one of them can live mostly cloaked...
Probe + Cheetah. Almost endearingly clumsy-looking.
Bantam. Wat.
Bellicose. It's either angry or lolangry, but either way awkward.
Osprey + Basilisk. Meh.
Burst. Who ******* cares about this ship anyway, it's as boring visually as it is functionally.
Caracal. Why is it a tripod?
Avatar. I know it's too late to change the iconic Angry Mushroom that Is Angry, but seriously. It's a mushroom. Is that supposed to be a hint regarding the way some ship designs were conceived, happy shroom times at the devs'?

Also, I like how most of the ships mentioned in this thread are absent from the current list of ships in the ship viewer on the new website. Don't want the impressionable potential customers to see those, right? Instead wait until they train up to use these ships, board them for the first time and proceed to dip their eyeballs in lye.

ninjaedit: yes, other good ships are absent as well, WTF is up with that anyway. But there are far more good ships present than bad ships, and bad ships seem to be mostly in the frigate and cruiser classes.

I always thought that when constructing it they changed the guy in charge of building it from time to time and the new guy always starter to build the hull according to their own design. The end result is a ship, that looks like it's duct taped together from the pieces of several different ships and juryrigged to make it spaceworthy.

OMG This!

I use it a lot, but really HATE the look.
