Best: nightmare, runner up would be the barghest, though they're terribly expensive right now.

worst: blackbird/falcon, raven (golem looks better with the redesign), and someone stapled the engines on the wrong end of the nestor.

Imicus is furking ugly.... Whoever decided to bend it like that and give it that ******** leg was tripping on acid or assembling IKEA furniture. Or Both.



Best: Mordus Frigate
Runner-up: cloaky scanning proteus - nice, symmetrical, like a toy from manga comics

Worst: older frigates and cruisers such as imicus and blackbird
Worst runner-ups: dreadnaughts except the nag.

Honorable mention of ugliness: Nestor the butplugg. Whoever designed that must never be given a pencil again.

There are so many new ships and new models for old ships that are great. It's really difficult to say which one is the best. I might be a bit influenced by familiarity of older great designs and not enough time spent with new ones, but here it goes:

Best: Machariel
Runner-up: Stratios

Worst: With old Moa out of the way (R.I.P. ugly one Smile), I'd go with Rupture and any variation of it.
Runner-up: Talwar ... there's something... unsettling Ugh about that ship, but I don't know what

Best: Firetail is all kinds of sexy, even tho it looks like the bastard love-child of a cylon raider and a colonial viper mk1
Runner up: minnie shuttle ( same as above, only sub TIE Interceptor and Y-wing, lol )

Worst: throw a dart at a random lineup of Cal ships, excepting the new Moa
Runner up: Gal haulers are tied with the entire line of Sansha ships, imho

Thus Spake the Frigate Goddess!

I'm suprised the scythe/scimitar didn't get mentioned on the first page. Its in desperate need of a new model. The design is cool, but looks like it hasn't been updated in years.

Best: Machariel / All T3 Battlecruisers
Worst: Gallente (male reproduction organ) looking ships, most Minmatar ships which looks like a failed attempt of putting a bicycle together with a cheesecake

Best: Othrus
Second: Phobos (red thorax? yes please!)
Third: Jaguar

Honorable mentions - most improved: Moa (and varients) which improved from "WTF is an albatross doing carrying a briefcase?" to "fairly cool", followed by Condor (and varients), which improved from "silly" to "nice!"

Worst: Imicus
Second: Phantasm
Third: Succubus

Honorably Bad: Bantam, in the Caldari tradition of Ships Misshapen For No Apparent Reason.

Oh tricky one...

Best: Manticore. Always loved the Kestrel hull and this one seems to have taken all the best bits of it. I own one just as a hangar-spinner I like it that much.
Runner up: torn between new Moa and Condor. Also have a huge soft-spot for the Raven.
I am such a Caldari fanboy.

Worst: Imicus
Runner up: Revenant

Special mention: the Omen falls into "love it" and "hate it" categories depending on the camera angle. God I hate that random side-bit.

The Best?

Tengu: If it has the right subsystems looks like a shark,
Proteus: Same as above but instead of space sharks you get space motorcycles.
Zealot: I dunno why, but it's a very simple but pretty design
Maelstrom: It has SAILS. And from that point on, it's a pirates life for me.

As for the Worst,

Blackbird: Needs a heavy redesign, When I first saw I couldn't tell which end was the front and which was the back,
Navitas: Like everyone else has said above,
Aeon: Probably the dumbest design by far, I get the idea that it's a carrier and it needs a 'runway' of sorts to have the fighters to land and such, you don't need to cut out 75% of the ship to do it.
Rupture: The thing has a space penis. >.> Am I allowed to even say that?


Also the Charon looks like a flying briefcase, what with Caldari State building a bunch of flat metal...things? And I love the design, The Gnosis looks like a whale beached itself so hard it took orbit.

Dunno why but i read this as:
Maelstrom: It has SNAILS. And from that point on, it's a pirates life for me.

Best looking ship - Navy Slicer
Worst - Anything Caldari

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

Best: CONCORD Police Captain Cruiser. Awesome looking ship, I wish I could fly one.
Runner up: Nemesis, next best thing out there =)

Worst: Succubus... It's a snail with spikes.
Runner up: Minmatar Rookie ship.

Still 8 days from being able to use the Nemesis, so I will be able to fly my second favorite hull soon =D

I miss having ISK.

Best: Drake and Nyx

Worst: Bantam and Blackbird
They all have their unique charm though, even the old Moa did.
