I actually like the Amaar dread and the mimmi as well. But the G dread ::shudder:: horrible. True we've not seen the correct textures, but those textures will not change the shape, and the shape is bad. A spaceship banana split with guns, delicious! Reminds me of that rump ugly ship the Celestis. That ship looks like a someone was drunk and fiddling with clay while starring at a fruit bowl.
As for freighters, I actually do like the G one... kinda. Resembles a trendy flying office block or 50's era refrigerator but hardly sticks to standard G design conventions. Admittedly the G one has a charm about it, however; G ships are not sooo flying brick-ish. They should be long, sleek, and slightly non-symetical. And if not long, then thin and vertical like the vexor. Hell, even our industrials follow this design principal.
The Amarr and Caldari frieghters look very nice though and truth be told the freighters all (save the mimmi dread which looks great!) look to be better dread candidates than the dreads themselves. The only one that's a real toss-up is the Amarr ship dread and freighter as both look fantastic. I'd actually be happier if the G dreadie looked like the freighter more, at least it has a nostalgic style as opposed to the Dread's ice cream sunday theme. And if it were fitted with big turrents it would far better carry the image of a station killer than the current love boat tourist ship that is at large.
If the current design stays, ah well so be it. I'll accept it, but please I beg of you, do a far better job on the G carrier. We rule the land of drones. It is a dark and dangerous place so please give us a ship that reflects the true nature of that. Something textures depiciting open bay doors protected by glowing energy fields (thouroughly star warsy) and a wider, longer, slightly off center, and more G look. This is also your chance to make-up for that asthetic abomination,the Domi.
The Domi could've looked so much better, the back end is quite pleasing, but the brain tumor front.... what went wrong there? So much promise, but alas I still wan t one of the big brutes to support my drone fetish. Anyway, please don't give us a similar style in the carrier.
