Oh CCP, why can't you see.

Why the Moa is so damned ugly.

Ishukone has a strange eye.

For it makes no sense,

for a Moa to fly.

With your weird chicken neck.

And your nacelles bent.

Instead I'll fly,

a Caracal with pride.

I still can't see the caracal as a cruiser because it looks like its a one seater ship............

so you'd use a container full of trash just because it does over 9,000 damage?

Sir, you have just described Minmatar Engineering.

Step one: Attach magnet to string.

Step two: Run as fast as you can through a salvage yard dragging said magnet and string behind you.

Step three: Crazy glue all that stuff on to a rusty dishwasher.

Step four: BIG GUNS! LOTS OF THEM!

Step five: BIG ENGINE! MAKE IT GO FAST!

Step six: There is no six.

Step seven: Win at everything all the time.

The end.

This is so true.

Medium rails are just... Bad.

Not only is Moa ugly, but it's "intended" weapon system is just, terrible.

So Ishukone guys were like, "Hey guys. Medium rail guns are just all kinds of awful. But Tibus Heth wants a rail boat for the navy. What should we make it look like? A deformed lunchboxadactyl? Yes. Yes, we'll go with the lunchboxadactyl. The weapons are awful so we may as well just put a warning on the hull by making it ugly. Good job, Stevey McNumbThumbs! We just won the contract!"

That's why you fit blasters to it. Blasters are so sexy on it..........

The Moa is different. It is special. It looks just fine as it is.

If there is anything that needs fixing, then it's that flying power drill.

Remove standings and insurance.

You're holding the scouter the wrong way.

Back in 2002, when Eve was but a forming vision, the screenshot of the Moa was what drew me to it. I've loved that ship ever since, visually. It just seemed so alien and weird.

am not talking bout minmatar... the Moa just looks like a flying trash container.

saying that about a Minmatar ship(with the exception of the Talwar) is an insult that I, as a Brutor, will not tolerate.

Mouse, we are going to have to have a talk about your serious lack of perception.


Not everything has to look like the spaceship equivalent of a gold plated, flying, battery operated pleasure device.

it has to at least be something you can describe.
the Moa, however, cannot be described.

A fat duck, carrying a suitcase. There I described a Moa. What do I win?
