Has to be the Armageddon.

I mean, it's just...FLYING GOLDEN P E N I S OF GOD COME TO DELIVER FIERY DOOMS...ya know?

The OLD matte black Nighthawk was amazing too, now it's just a dark grey meh with stripes that don't match up with the surface contours/details. Cry Annoying really.

That's more or less true for most Amarrian ships.

Apparently, they have yet to learn to appreciate simple beauty provided by "flying grey brick" aesthetics.

For me it's the Megathron. Seeing a picture of it basically made me start playing eve. It's like an old school corvette stingray of spaceship facemelting beauty.

spaceship, Spaceship, SPACESHIP!

I too enjoy the Maga immensely. It looks mean and the first time I saw a Mega close with an outlaw skull on it I thought wow that is a mean looking ship. 30 seconds later that fact was confirmed. Double Hull Designs are always sexy and the Conning Tower is just the Icing on the Cake. Top it off with the Double Ram Front and damn.

I love the simplistic design of the Geddon. Rounded Hammerhead front, tubular body with a near engine block with big Guns positioned laterally as well as along the top forward and near underbelly. Large Space Fighter Bay, Big Ship Smashing Guns a Ton of Armor and lots of Tiny Windows + Command Bridge. It has all the most classic elements of your common Sci Fi Space Battleship except it is bright gold. It comes in Grey with Jet Black Streaks to for a little extra.

My favorite is the raven though. Giant Bird of Prey that spews Missiles has held a lot of joy for me. She is a little ugly and I hate that stubby wing (Wish it were a tiny bit closer to its counter part.) but the industrial design covered in Antenna's with a modular Bridge is pretty cool. Finally I like that it is small. It doesn't need a large mass it has Heavy Shields for defense and Compact Torpedo Launchers that Smash Ships up. Everything about it screams small High Tech killing Platform, it is a Pocket Battleship.

I actually like every Battleship in EVE. A few more then others but the ones people tend to hate I find interesting especially in their Backstory and why they are made the way they are. The Dominix is an especially appropriate design.

Armageddon.

It is perfectly what its supposed to be .... Golden rod from the heavens ... showing the way for the true believers and burning the heretics with its righteous beams of light.

Obviously its not the only awesome looking ship but if you must select only 1 ... I have to select the armageddon !

If I had to select ONE? Gah, I couldn't.

Best looking BS- Navy Geddon or Abaddon with a lot of runner ups (Megathron, Rokh, Maelstrom)
Best looking BC- Naga
Best looking Cruiser (not Tech3)- Arbitrator
Best looking Frig - Firefly or Hookbill

I guess they ran out of Star Destroyer White a while ago.

No love for the Providence?

Personally though, I think the best looking ship was the old Helios, when it was a Creodron themed Maulus. That looked brilliant.

I would call the Star Destroyer a rather unique design. Their wasn't much like that before and the Triangle Wedge hasn't really been that prominent in the majority of non Star Wars media.

It is definitely more popular now then but your average Space Warship usually has a cylindrical, hexagonal or rectangular design to it. Their is no defined way with saucers, triangles, rectangles, wings and ovals but the long space rod full of guns model usually seems to be the basic design for a stock space warship especially in novels.

Reminds me of the Rebel Transport in Star Wars.

I don't like the Gallente Hulls, most of them look like a cancer.

This Ship is what caused me to join EVE. I had a friend with the game and I would stare at it in the ship viewer.

When I joined EVE a year ago, all my favourite ships were Gallente. This began to change over time though. Today there are quite a few, very different looks that I like.

But no doubt, the two hulls I like best are the Navy Geddon and the Navy Omen. Having to choose between them would be tough. I guess the Navy Geddon would make it eventually, if I'd really have to decide.
