Best looking ship in the game eh? Hmm that's a hard one... My choice will get a lot of WTF? replies. I LOVED the pre-raphics update version of the AEON super carrier. The new one is still nice, but the old one had working searchlights, a lit up control tower, and a force field over the hanger bay doors. And with the runway lights, it just looked like a giant airport in space.

New one is still ok'ish, just not as detailed as it once was.

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

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.


Interestingly enough, the standard scout ship in the Traveller RPG also had the wedge design. I think it was something in the air in the late '70's.

Given the time involved in getting a game laid out and to press I'm pretty sure neither source influenced the other on the initial releases.

1. Talos. It's like a pure-blood racing spaceship full of masculine force and efficiency. Perfect match for it's purpose in game.

2. Hyperion. Easily the most perfect battleship hull, sleek, deadly and huge. Unfortunately stats-wise it has some issues limiting it's utility in game.

3. Megathron. Close second to the Hype, a true classic of EVE. Like Talos, it looks like it flies.

I actually like the looks of the Thrasher for the same reason you hate it. Cool

For me, the best looking ship has always been the Magnate/Anathema though. I'd also like to throw in that most ships are ugly (no matter what race), and that all races have their brief, golden moments when it comes to designing aesthetically good looking vessels. Other favorites of mine are Megathron (all variants), Rokh, all freighters, Atron (all variants) and Coercer.

Cruisers are generally the class where I'm having trouble finding any good looking ships at all.

The definite winner though, is an NPC ship: The Roden Police Major. That's one beast of a ship. Twisted

It looks like a damned fish to me, especially when it's doing ****** bumpy fishtailing around acceleration gates that it shouldn't be bumping into on warp in, but this has been a feature for as long as I remember, so I guess it's working as intended. I like when my ships look like broken shopping carts, not when they handle like it. Otherwise, completely dig the rust bucket Minmatar aesthetic. Props to the Machariel designer for fusing the Gallente dual hull theme with the "we finish fights, not ships" Minmatar theme.


Seconding the Machariel. Its huge, its got the split hull thing going on, and it looks like Galactica!

I'm a big fan of amarr ships such as Pilgrim, Omen Navy Issue, Apoc Navy Issue, Paladin, Damnation, Retribution, Archon, Harby. If I had to pick just one it would surley be the Paladin, its down right sexy Big smile

Confirming I cried when the old Navy Mega skin was changed and black Gallente hulls would be win sauce.

Of all the ships I currently own 2 stand out, My Rokh and my Hookbil. Nothing I've flown comes close to those two in pure sexy looks.

Of ships I haven't flown yet but plan to, I'd say the Vargur, Naga and Loki looks the most sexy.

Ships I never plan on flying (probably) but still looks awesome would be Legion and Abaddon and Navy Scorp.

There is one ship that, in its class, has the most undeniably formidable, tough and predatory aspect. It just seems to foam at the mouth with aggression while staring at your nuts. It has the name, the looks, and the attitude.

And it backs all that up with damn near half a million EHP from a T2 fit and one implant...

Damnation.

Dont ask me why, i dont know, but i love the Typhoon hull. Its just the imbodyment of Minmitar with its, "so Straight it works..." look, and serious amount of rust.

The fact it can do anything also helps

The whole series of Khanid Innovations T2 ships (Anathema, Vengeance, Curse, Sacrilege, Damnation) are all incredibly awesome ships -- both in looks and performance.
