Between the Hound and the Rookie ship rebuilds it is kind of depressing to see the direction the ships are going. They look more like something the World of Warcraft goblins would build. Microsoft makes sure that you can do a basic function three ways. CCP makes sure that you can only do it one way, even if it means getting rid of the other ways all together. The upside of this is that, if they can simplify the UI enough, they can port it to the PS3 eventually. |

why would people rather have a porsche than a volkswagon? they're essentially the same car.
one would thank that competing npc manufacturers would capitalize on people's desire to drive/fly cool vehicles as part of their overall marketing strategy.
Just because the models previously looked like they were constructed with baling wire and speed tape, does not mean they actually are.
Conversely actual RL spacecraft of the past sometimes were notoriously flimsy (Astronauts on the Apollo flights had to be careful not to knock holes through the hull of the lunar lander with their feet)
at the same time a 425mm AC round (the little stool in your CQ is a 425mm round) would insta pop the LEM, meanwhile a cane can take a bunch of full vollys before popping, no not as flimsy as it looks, but substantially more flimsy than a drake.
Whats my point? damned if I can remember now 
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Well slapped together does not mean flimsey.
think the Apollo lander after a warhammer ork gets a hold of it. Armor plates stuck to it and and engine strapped to the side for good measure. Some guns and a wingy bit.
A thucker fleet builds most of there ships from slavage and it should look like it!

Minmatar need to be re-imagined as a steampunk race. Victorian style steam engines, smoke chimneys, all kinds of gears and **** on the outsides of their hulls that don't do anything, plus T2 and T3 ships can have trimmings in brass or copper. |

I think the look and feel of the minmatar design should stick with the futuristic rat-look. Doing it differently simply doesn't make it minmatar at all. If done differently tho it should have a modified storyline to it that explains the out-of-place look. But going for a smooth calculated look on a minmatar boat seems to out of place and very hard between all the seemingly improvised creations they mainly use. When I point to the moon don't stare a my finger! |

Minmatar ships should look like the Reavers from Serenity fly them. War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. |

I think t1 minmatar should look very haphazard, but t2 should look like they were actually designed for a purpose. |

The first Minmatar interceptor was amazingly fast.
It had only one problem though... since they direct welded the pilot's pod directly onto a reactor assembly, which backended into a microwarpdrive... well, he had trouble getting out of it.
That, and the lack of proper reactor shielding caused his clone to mutate. Details details...
But, hella fast ship.... |

Well except for the Reavers being the Blood Raiders I would agree completely. :P But yeah, they should look pretty rough and battle-hardened.

I like the enclosed, modular look and feel of the reaper (but not the sidecar), and to a lesser extent the hound. They're less... spindly. I've always thought that minmatar ships should look more like predators (hurricane embodies this perfectly), as opposed to pointy box things; violently beautiful, if you get my meaning. They can be dangerous in appearance without becoming ultra-streamlined - there is such a thing as 'ugly but cool' as a style, as opposed to 'just plain ugly'. People want to look cool in their ships, but each race should attempt this in a different way. Minmatar can achieve this with a 'rough yet tough' look  |

I think the current lot of V3 Minmatar ships look great. I won't mind at all if the remaining sub-capital ships end up looking similar. |

Give the ships some character and style from the culture that manufactured them.
More open holes with exposed machinery, bolted on plasma thrusters, pieces of scaffolding, ect...
Also, some of the faction/tech II ship colours are very questionable. Republic fleet firetail and Claw interceptor have camo on them now :( Please PLEASE don't give republic fleet and boundless creations ships fugly camo paint jobs. (Don't get me started about the navy comet. Police comet ftw!)
Painting the entire surface of a ship with camo doesn't really fit with minmatar style.
When I think "republic fleet" I think warpaint of somekind. Maybe drab grey/browns for the ships metal, with a thick stripe(s) of somekind across the ships hull. (Like the widow's paintjob but more minmatar. Perhaps a more eyecatching color for the stripe, maybe something neon or shiny, i dunno.) Light color is debatable, the old firetail had off white lights that weren't bad looking.
Please, just anything but more space camo. :"( |
