Ships & Modules

And I say start with the small Tech 1 hulls (and any of their Tech 2 counterparts)

First of all, CCP really needs to pick which half ship design they want to use for the Atron. You can't just cut two ships in half and glue a pair of mismatched halves together and call it a spaceship. It's just wrong.

And the Slasher, my goodness, like, it's so freaking dumb how they designed this thing, I made better designs when I was a new born baby F. F. S. whoever designed this thing... man, I just find it... reprehensible. At least stick the two main parts of it together - actually together, not just connected by some bent tubes.

Things that should probably just be completely scrapped and designed anew: Tormentor, Crucifier, Bantam, Griffin, Navitas, Imicus, Probe.

I'm being conservative here. Anything that I didn't mention probably needs small tweaks as well.

Start thinking about the physical appearance of the spaceships, CCP. Your graphics are good, but the ship designs remind me of WoW.

And variety and diversity are good, I'm not trying to say make all the ships the same - far from it, actually, as I would most definitely oppose such thinking, but I am against ugly spaceships. People are ugly enough as it is, when I join a virtual spaceship game I don't want everything in the game to be ugly as well :P

And that's my case.

Apocalypse. One of the devs saw a picture his 3 year old daughter drew of their pet dog and decided to turn it into a spaceship.

Screw that noise. If anything we need more ship hulls, why would a universe as big as Eve have only one freaking hull? So stupid, I don't even respect your opinion on this matter, it's just so unbelievably dumb.

Eve is big, there are not enough companies making spaceships for how big the universe is.

Alright, I take that back, to a point. It should still be tweaked a little, add something more to it, I can't even see a cockpit area, would be nice to get a little more meat on it.

It doesn't have a cockpit. It's a lot bigger than a fighter.

I have the exact opposite opinion of yours too. Almost to a point, the ships I find most distinctive and attractive are the ones you'd want revamped.

The ugliest ships in the game, in my opinion? Minmatar battleships, possibly excepting the Typhoon. Aerodynamics may not matter in space, but I'm just not into the asymetrical sailboat thing.

I love how the Atron looks, to be honest.

About cockpit on the crucifier: Do you know how big these things are? On the right side of the picture you posted, do you see the cylindrical part of the ship? That's very much a place where a cockpit could be. Who needs windows anyway if you have a constant image feed from your camera drones, and, as capsuleer, most likely access to everything the ship's sensors perceive as if it were your own senses.

My biggest problem is the slasher

Asymetry is fine
No aerodynamics is good.

But what isn't good is not having the center of thrust going through the center of mass.
Its not required in atmospheric flight because you can stabilize/counteract the torque using the atmosphere, but if that slasher fired its thrusters... that ship would start spinning/tumbling like crazy, and not really go anywhere.

The minmatar "sails" are fine as radiators... but please... have the ship plausibly look like the center of thrust goes through the center of mass. The slasher just looks wrong for a space ship.

Yeah, the screening posses for ship designs needs to be more rigorous. There's nothing to say that Eve ships can't be unique, dark, and still not be cool at the same time. Ships like the Moa make me want to cry... :(

They were just redesigned.
