Am I the only one who thinks the Archon's engines are... off?

I love most Amarr ships. I think they look like a true representation of a powerful race. The Aeon mothership looks amazing, yet I find the Archon to be one of the lesser ships visual wise due to the horrid looking engines. I realize they were probably designes to mimic the front "pincers", yet I think it wasn't pulled off well. Does anyone else feel the same way?

I remember being told it looked like an oversized, upside-down coercer.

And it fits even less laxer turrets.

Aeon looks like someone didn't want to design a new ship so they built a really big bestower then decided to stop building it halfway through

All carrier models suck. Except for the nyx.. it looks like a giant millennium falcon somehow.

Reminds me of half a garlic loaf

Wish caps were bigger and had more going on on them.

Mining barges have the most interesting things happening.

The salvaging ship is also neat and busy.

When you're stuck in a ship (super caps), would be nice if there was more eye candy. Not a bloody theme park going on, just stuff like people painting the sides or repairing lose panels. Some signs of life!

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

I love the way the Nid and Hel look, even if they aren't that great. They look like they have a hangar bay, and not a runway like the others.

the levi has those dudes taking a little tram on the side from one part to another

now, since you need people painting the sides and repairing loose panels, I take it you fly a hel

Engines on Archon are realy ugly. But model of Archon itself is great.
Aeon... bah.., I would like to see model of Ark to be SC rather than half baked bestower.
And best SC model is Hel. Bear

Aeon looks awesome, it's the true definition of both "super" and "carrier" it looks like a carrier in space.

Nyx looks like an oversized burnt frying pan.

The Aeon has to be the most fugly ship in EVE. It's half a ship. Even most Minmatar ships look more polished than that creature.

A laxer turret? Is that like, a laxative turret? ****-posting made manifest.

Also the Wyvern is the sexiest looking supercarrier and anyone who thinks overwise is objectively wrong

Only if they keep painting during battle.

yes in the rare supercapital brawl that nowadays results in only one side losing everything and the other leaving unscathed

so regardless of which one you fly you're either getting a bunch of killmails or shopping for a new supercarrier

i sold mine and kept my aeon because the 25% gain in DPS doesn't make up for its shortcomings
