That is probably the exact reason, and thank you for pointing it out to me. I agree with the sentiment entirely. I completely withdraw from the discussion as of now.

Black ops need more love!!

I was crushed to find out, that after I trained for what I was lead to believe was 'the ultimate cloakie ship'-- Black ops can't warp cloaked. It killed my friends dreams when I told them.

Most ships have multiple uses, but black ops.... not so much. It would be fantastic if it could warp cloaked, and Im sure that this would greatly increase its popularity.

id like the thanatos to look more or less like a smaller variation of the NYX ( the best looking ship in the game imho )

then again i like symmetrikal ships.

I fly the Gila often and cannot say enough that the Moa SERIOUSLY needs to be redone. On top of that racial specific ships for guristas and the other knockoff pirate ships would be welcome as well.

The raven looks like a transformer with terminal cancer but I think its too iconic for CCP to concider really changing.

I have not seen the reaper mentioned here - I know its just a rookie ship but when I started this game the first ship I EVER saw was the horrid little reaper and though -- WTF is this -- then I got a burst and thought -- OK where the f#$%^ is the rest of it. Maybe this is why minmatar has the lowest percentage of toons.

Aside from the look of the reaper WHY is a great name like "REAPER" wasted on a ROOKIE ship??

There are a dozen or more ships that need attention and most have been mentioned here already. The new scorp looks alot better than old and the maller looks nice as well.

Side note --- WHY were the engines STOLEN off my CRANE?? GIVE THEM BACK ! ! ! ! !

Guristas should have "BIGGER" Skull Bunnies in the default paintjob. Guristas and all other pirates should get custom ships like angels (or at LEAST fix the HIDEOUS Moa/Gila hull).

The worst looking ship that has had little mention here, in my opinion, is the Rupture. There are two things with it that bugs me about its ‘pirate-ship-shaped-nailgun’ looks that bug me.:

First, the cockpit just seems to be in the wrong place even when compared to other Minmatar ships. It should be higher up towards the bow, rather than just sticking haphazardly out of the middle. Also the bow is too skinny.

Second, the pivot point of the model, where it rotates in space, is too low and forward. It always looks like it is falling over. The whole ship is horribly butt heavy looking and its movements seem unnatural.

As for an actual change, the area above the deck of the pirate ship part should have a sail like the Tempest, the bow should be wider and house the command capsule there, and the area under the main hull should look more like a keel., being narrower and shorter with the engines moved more to the sides.

I've actually come to appreciate the Moa, fits well with Caldari style. I think much higher priorities should be the tempest and raven. Machariel gun placement also could do with some work as for such an impressive ship the guns have been placed in a slapdash way that I find makes them look pathetic.
