All caldari ships look like they are flying backwards and with so many protrusions with flashing lights, make them seem almost bug like in nature. Also, the dominix is shaped like an upside down shoe.

Cormorant is the perfect balance of symmetry and asymmetry. Beautiful, menacing looking craft. --

What do you want, pink ships like the Gallente?
Hey we are very happy with your lovely pink ships and would hate to have ships that looks industrial and gunmetal.
Considering that Gallente are supposed to be of French origin, the thought that their ships are pink, frilly and TOTALLY girly seems somehow....fitting :)
Chauvinism right there! booh

I find something I dislike in most designs.
Ones that I kind of like in no order are Arbitrator, Brutix, Hyperion, Coercer, Comorant, Catalyst, Hurricane, Typhoon, Punisher, Executioner, Kestral, and magnate. The rest are kind of meh.
Originally by: Warrio Need more lateral ships like the Catalyst.
I wouldn't mind seeing more of this either. The Myrmidon does remind me of Babylon 5.
CCP could take a look at a few games for inspiration imo. Sins of a Solar Empire some of the Advent capitals would be cool additions to Gallente like the Halcyon carrier. Radiant would be more Amarr ish with it's beak front perhaps even caldari? TEC ships wouldn't be a bad start for Minmatar designs like the KOL battleship or the Dunov even the Akkan looks cool. Vasari look good but can't pick a race :).
Homeworld none of the ships seem to stand out as something I want to see everyday. Battlestar Galactica now I wouldn't mind a similar battlestar type of model in game but would have to be Minmatar imo with projectile and missles and armor tank.

Ya, we need more ships that look llike they were salvaged from a atmosphere craft - and only half got salvaged, at that.
Catalyst looks like HALF of a wing section - only matched byt he half-wits that fly that half-wing :)

The Rupture looks like a rusted soldering gun, but one hell of a cruiser.
Symmetry is more or less defined as beauty achieved by balanced proportion. Given the unbalanced nature of the mental state of Eve's races, it is a wonder we have any symmetrical ships at all.....
The original designs of Eve ships IMHO, came as a result of the design team consuming legal and illegal substances, getting crazy, and then making a few while hungover and guilt-ridden sober.

The Catalyst is an homage to the venerable WWII B-17.

I'd like to see a similar design to Wing Commander's Vesuvius command carrier, personally. it may be a simple design, but it's sleek, menacing, and overall pretty cool.

This, fix the Domi, please. It can't be too hard surely just fix the damn texture.
No amount of texture adjustment will polish up that turd. |

If the Imicus is a flying tumor, the Domi is what happens after the tumor metastasizes and goes to the brain. Big lumpy forehead. Almost too bad it's such an incredibly effective ship...
And yeah, too many pointy bits on the Raven and weird looking main engine outlet. And what's up with the silly refueling probe on the Atron/Ishkur? It might even look okay if it weren't as long as the freaking ship. |

I like the Amarr designs most, but I also have many <3's for Minmatar and Gallente. My favourite looking ships are: Magnate, Omen, Naglfar, Thrasher, Tristan, Megathron, Apocalypse, Hyperion, and Tempest.
I think one of the ugliest ships is the Caracal. What is it doing? Could you make a more weedy-looking cruiser? It looks positively diseased. |

Well, it can also completely disregard aesthetics and be used to describe something that's simply a geometric mirror-image.
Honestly, I've never quite understood this fevered hatred for anything asymmetrical. I think there is quite possibly something wrong with your brains. --

I agree with Grisella, the Domi is a flying forehead.
Personally, I like most of the Gallente ships, I really like the Incursus, for some reason and the Myrmidon is pretty unique. The Exequror is probably the most "organic" ship that I can recall to memory right now... or, it was, before premium graphics. It still looks pretty cool, anyway.
I'm only slightly surprised that no one has mentioned this yet, but the front-end of the Wreath looks just like a train engine with a cow-catcher. I like the Stabber's/Thrasher's gilled look, like a salamander.
My eye finds the best looking ships in Amarr, however. I love the talon-like symetry in the Omen and Prophecy. On the downside there are ships like the Maller and Augoror, more flying foreheads.

All in favor of custom paint jobs?

Anyone else find it funny that a spaceship game's forum censors the word c o c k p i t ? I mean it should use a little sense. It should check to see if its part of a word, and not by itself before it goes ahead and blocks it out.
Originally by: Morrow Disca So, I find myself suddenly cross training for Amarr. .... because the abaddon firing lasers looks cooler than the Fonz carrying a big bag of cool things.

In theory, I don't mind the asymmetry in Eve. There are quite a few ships that I do think look all the better for it, as a point of fact. But I dislike most of them. Not for any matter of aesthetics or beauty, but simply because when I looks at, say, a Moa or a Catalyst (among others) I can't help but think to myself "There is no way that thing could go in a straight line."
Symmetrical design may not be necessary, but symmetrical weight distribution is an absolute must, and the vast majority of asymmetrical designs in this game look as though their weight distribution is extremely bad. But this is kind of a weird niggle for me to go off on. Especially since weight distribution in nearly all sci-fi is equally bad, but most other series have it vertically set, so it seems less noticeable for some stupid reason.
As an aside, I tend to like the aesthetic of pretty much all the races, though, perhaps ironically, I feel that the Myrmidon, which is my favorite craft, would look significantly more awesome if it were rotated 90¦ counter-clockwise to rest on it's side and take advantage of it's obvious flying-wing motif. |

Id also like to point out that the Catalyst has much smaller afterburners at the smaller end of the ship...and an advanced civ could probably sync all the engines to give equal thrust....simple physics

Originally by: Nevenda'ar Personally I want more vertical ships models.
The myrmidon is almost perfect, but i feel it should have been a bit longer and thinner then it is now. A homeworld style space banana would be especially appreciated.
Naglfar is your answer.

It's not a matter of aerodynamics. It's simply a property of momentum. An object will move according how the force moving it is applied; as far as spaceships go, if I apply force so that every portion of the ships receives equal amounts of force, then the ship will move in a straight line. If the force is not evenly distributed, it will not. It sounds extremely stupid, yes, but think of it like this; if I were to say, push on one corner of a cart, you'd expect it would move in an arc right? Because I applied force unevenly, part of the cart moves less than the part I pushed.
Many, hell, probably all of the asymmetrical ships in Eve have their weight and engine arrangements set up so that moving in a straight line would be impossible. The parts doing the pushing are pushing one side more than the other. Aerodynamics does not factor in.

ships designed before trinity are all weird, but strangely attractive (me loves the moa) ships after, are all better looking because it looks better in the screen shots and makes eve a more appealing game.

Originally by: Sidus Isaacs Raven kinda looks a bit stupid imo. Some poor design choises made on it, like the huge air outlet on the back?, the wierd ****pit thigy on the front? Makes no sense :P
Tempest has wingy bits and ****pit that extends 500 meters in front of the ship for no apperent reason besides being shot off.
That's called 'ablative armour' :)

Millenium Falcon?
Anyway, if you're talking about optimal ship configurations, a sphere is pretty close - it's symmetrical, and minimizes surface area.
But really, there's no real _need_ to worry about the aerodynamics or drag caused by asymmetry, and there's a load of reasons why every ship component needs to come in multiples of two.
The Scorpion (With the Widow paint job) is by far one of the most sexy ships in EVE, and that's not symmetrical.
