-Moa - HAHAHAAHAHAHA.
I second, third, fourth and fifth this and that flying fish thing the gallentes swim around space in could use some love and the catalyst looks like it was some thing outta a 30s or 40s sci fi movie. i think in general the gallentes r the worst looking ships
I would imagine you don't like Gallente ships because, like most other human beings on the planet, you like symmetry. Me too. So many Gallente ships aren't symmetrical and it grates on people's nerves, just slightly. Like the Tristan's cockpit on the right arm, what in the world...why not put it in the middle, in the reactor-looking thing. The catalyst looks like an old bomber from WWII that's been condensed into a single wing, and what's with the radar array?
Personal Opinions:
Quick disclaimer...I understand Minmatar ships were designed with the "scrap heap, find anything you can and strap it to a warp drive and some guns" theory in mind. It's part of the game, I accept it and actually like most of the ship designs, however...a couple of them look like they had a complete ship, it looked good, and then they added something which made it look silly. See below.
Nightmare - ugly, yes, but I'd fly it. It makes it more terrifying. It's not supposed to be pretty.
All Caldari Cruisers. I don't see the point. Caracal is alright but looks like you could snap it in half, looks more like something you'd see skimming across the water than flying through space.
Drake - it's just too thin. I love the design, but nowhere do I see enough space for all of those missiles.
Cyclone - little pointy wing tips? :(
Hurricane - alternative to the feet that are stapled along the sides would be nice. Star Destroyer look is cool.
Burst - seriously. come on guys.
Raven - eh. Could use a redesign. The only thing that really gets me with the Raven are the pointy things sticking out of it for no apparent reason.
Naglfar - way too vertical. Wayyy too vertical.
Celestis - enough said.
I would mention the other Gallente cruisers but the "mutated pregnant marine mammal" look with all the smooth green metal is kind of nice. I will say the Exequror could use some slight tweaks.
Tempest - what? The long cockpit outrig makes me sad. Slight redesign needed, I like what they were trying to do with it but I don't like what came out.
Ibis - looks out of place when compared to other Caldari ships, in my opinion.
Brutix - ugly, mean old man chin attached to some wings. Definitely one of the meanest looking ships in EVE, don't know if I would change it though.
