The omen is missing its other stubbly wing

I think Caldari Cruisers in general could use a touch up. The Condor and Bantam as well. Are the rest are pretty much fine. Imicus and Celestis could use some love. Minmatar I can't say for sure I like most of their ships but would not mind touch ups. Harbinger turret if that is still an issue, the Aeon and Apocalypse.

On a small scale I would like the Raven to get a little bit more wing on the stubby side, besides that it is a great ship. The Dominix is two centuries old and its do all design of Drones, Guns, EWAR is the kind of ship a smaller starting empire would game out as their first big Battleship instead of single valuable rolls. It looks like it was used to carry troops as well. It reminds me a lot of a Battlestar. I hope if the redesign it they will keep its age and multipurpose design in mind.

If any artist even considers looking at the Omen, many people will hunt him down mercilessly.

Dominix
Moa

anything not symmetrical

Dominix and vexor..


Dat Vexor...

The omen is beautiful! <3

Rupture. Everytime I see this thing I'm thinking "Tool Time" .

The V3 process improved many of the ships

The omen is missing its other stubbly wing

New Vargur "fins" look too much like a fish. They should be less circular.

Basically everything Caldari that hasn't already been revamped.

There's assymetry... and then there's fuggin' ugly. Pretty much all Caldari ships fall into the latter.

The V3 process improved many of the ships, but Caldari ships still look horrible. There's no way to save them without a complete revamp.

If the omen had both its wings, it would by FAR be the best looking ship in game.

I honestly think it's about time someone did something to make the Thrasher look less like a giant, metallic Gubby-fish. It just doesn't fit with Minmatar to have a giant fish-shaped ship.

Symetrical ships are for the simple mind.

The Falcon, Oh god the falcon hurts my eyes.

The Omen and Aeon are the only Amarr ships that aren't symmetrical which makes them kind of oddballs.

Capitals need to be scaled up in size, they are far too visually underwhelming for their strength.

After the Stabber got OHMYGODGORGEOUS, one of the few eyesores left in the game is the Ruppie.

(I like the Moa...)

Every sci fi has to have it's ugly ships. Anything Klingon, for example. Look at it this way: consider the starships designers of New Eden in parallel with car designers of the real world (I know, another "RL" comparison - sue me). The Subaru WRX is one of the ugliest cars on the road, but it goes harder than most others in its class. Ferrari could use a facelift, too. Lamborghini's look gorgeous, but they're too heavy and cumbersome for any real performance applications. Yes, I am aware that they race them, but the Nissans are the ones that are winning the GT1s.

If every ship was beautiful, there would be no art. There would be no comparison. And on that note, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - one man's Maserati is another man's eyesore (it's my favourite Italian maker, tbh, but I'll admit they don't even come close to the gorgeousness of an Alfa Romeo, which by the way WILL fall apart the moment you touch it).

I like all the ships the way they are. I like the changes that were made to the Mega and the Vaga and the others, and I liked their old models too. I like the ugly ships, even the Moa, because without them, we would have no appreciation for the gorgeous ones like the Talos and the Hyperion. You may disagree that these are good looking ships, but you're making part of my point for me by doing that - what I find gorgeous, you might find ugly. And it's why any serious overhalls of ship design should not be made.

Perhaps a tweak here and there to update ships, like with the Mega - sure, it looks different now, but all in all, it's still the same size, and general shape, and I think that's important. This is original art we're talking about here, and so would be a new Moa, more than likely, but changing it would only demean the artwork that makes EVE unique.

Actualy... Omen is one of a few asymetric ships that looks fantastic

So, honestly, how did the Bellicose happen? That thing is like my little brother's structurally unsound Lego creations that can snap with a wee little jab at it.

plz don't change the scorpion
It's probably the best looking caldari ship other than the ferox
why do the best looking caldari ships suck ass at anything combat related?

The chicken with a briefcase aka Moa
The fleshlight aka Typhoon
The pirate ship aka Rupture

Anything that immediately makes you think of something non-starship.

Tormentor (Too much like the inquisitor)

From an aesthetic POV, I have to agree that the new Tempest/Stabber models look better than they used to, however, they look far too clean and hightech now.

Minmatar ships were supposed to look like some insurgents taped them together from debris - now they look more slick and hightech than any other race.

That was in the past.

In the present the Minmatar race is the supreme race. We have the technology. We have the weapons. We have the ships.

:)

But, seriously, it is about time that Minmatar start updating their ship designs. They aren't 'some insurgents' anymore.

PLZ PLZ PLZ do sth with the Hookbill!
It is probably the most ugly ship in game. Followed by the Blackbird.

Aeon model and a complete rescale in size for all capital ships.


and no! dont touch my pretty Rokh! :3

The Raven is perfect as is, but I would like another version. Call it the Raven Mk. II. It looks exactly like the regular Raven except it's twice the size and has the words "F*** YO SHIP. I'M AWESOME" written on the side of the hull by default.

Bring back old vargur.
At least its old solar panel wings...

I agree with this and, oddly enough, I am of the opinion that there should be larger stations. I mean when was the last time you actually felt like Jita 4-4 was big enough to be the trade hub it seems? Shouldn't there be a feeling of awe you get as you warp up to it? How do all those ships fit on the undock? (Hint: They don't! :P)

A new, improved, much larger Jita 4-4 would make a lot of sense and add a ton of flavor. Trade hub stations ought to have grown in size more. :) So say in Rens, Dodixie, and Amarr maybe too. That Emperor Family Academy sure is used for a lot more than schooling, yet it remains one of the smaller Amarr stations.

EDIT: The scale of anything is hard for me to really get into well just because it's difficult to experience it in the game. When you're flying something large and you zoom in on something small it seems to be there, but when flying something small the only way you can really get a sense of scale is by centering on something large and looking at yourself as the small ship around it -- not by centering on yourself and feeling the sense of something giant looming over you. Not exactly something up for "fixing" as I don't even know how you'd begin to approach something like that, but just an observation. How much would scaling up capitals change the perception of them to smaller vessels?

The thing that got to me was that I had flown caldari awhile long ago and gone "OK, so fashion of the era is big on asymmetrical, i'm good with that", but then the new clothes came out and they're symmetrical.

Still, the incursus needs help, even if it's not "ugly" so much as under developed. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ncKTo_fI4 at 1:10. What is that? Is that supposed to be... an Incursus? Then why does the one in my hangar look so much like something that a grade schooler made out of a cardboard box and some cardboard tubes?

I'd like the Imicus a bit better if the "melted chocolate bar" look looked a bit more "angled" and less "lol I left my chocolate in the sun".

All dreads(minus minmatar)(add a pirate faction dread), all carriers(minus minmatar) all titans (minus avatar)(i feel like somethings missing from the levy)


mostly all ships atm need a little love

I love what you guys did with the Stealth bombers("same hull" completely different loooking ship.) which makes it looks like the t2 ship is an UPGRADE of the t1 hull and not just some cheap reskin.

i believe all t2 ships need an upgraded look from their t1 counter part to make it appear it's actually an upgraded ship.

I also believe there are a few plain hulls that need some extra love( the most obvious moa.)

comparing the designs of the ships with the older and newer, the newer ships don't fit in with the older. they stick out.


Also, if you're going to add the npc logos on the ships, add them to the rest.

Moa/Gila. Seriously. It looks like a disgruntled briefcase holder had a incestuous relationship with a bird.

Caracal. Best example of taking a sleek, fast looking design... then adding a staircase and a flipped U at the back of it.

Bantam, Griffin, Kitsune, see Moa. Obviously that disgrunteled briefcaseholder had a lot of weird relationships.

Typhoon + Variants. Looks like a trashcan with engines. Actually, trashcans look better. Also, last time I checked Panthers were in fact not trashcans. Do not try this at home kids.

Dominix. Someone seems to have digestion problems. Note to CCP: We do not want to fly what comes out of your glorious behinds after the morning coffee.

Condor/Badger could use some love as well.

Succubus. See Dominix. No, we don't even want to fly small pieces of poo.

Brutix: We also don't want to fly poo that has been stretched into a different shape than regular poo.

Hookbill. This one could look so awesome if you only cut the nose and moved the launchers to a less stick-out position.

Imicus. What is this, I don't even...?

Ospery/Basilisk. See Imicus.

Blackbird. What exactly is holding this thing together at speeds greater than 3mil km/s?

Emergent Locus Analyzers for T3. So bonuses to probes and assorted launchers does have to look ugly, huh? Exception: Legion - Mini Avatar.

Caldari Shuttle: The smaller the uglier. Adding glow to the cockpit didn't help. Really.

Arbitrator Hull: Improved drone bay and maybe a straight hull on the nose section.

Thorax, see Arby hull, that thing would look so awesome if the hull was straight. (Inb4 it's not gay!)

Hoarder. I am not even sure what it should resemble?

Raven: Could use a massive texture rework. The better Eve's graphics get the more it looks out of place. Same for CNR.

The Caps mentioned so far would be a good choice for a redesign however:

Wyvern. Note to designer: If it's not evident where the front is when the engines are off, it's probably a bad design. The Leviathan is a good guidline on how to do it.

Also: Erebus and Moros, which side is up?

I appreciate the designers trying to give us ships that look alien in shape but too much is never a good thing. Please, we're supposed to look at that for hours. Take the Coercer for example, the Stabber, the Algos.

They look awesome in that they're alien enough to set the mood but believable to be actually created by humans. Not by some weird force int he universe randomly forming polygons until it looks ugly enough. Or even worse, created by a disgruntled briefcaseholder having ... well you get the idea.

A complete hull rework patch/ small things improvements for the next expansion would be something worth doing to please both PvP and PvEers
