I can't quite grasp why CCP's art team would take the Dominix model (oldest warship in circulation, and arguably one of the ugliest battleships in the game), the Opux Luxury Yacht (a ship that embodies prancing and pampering), and the Brutix (quite possibly the worst BC) and combine these three blobular hulls to create the Gallente Dreadnaught.
Sorry. That thing doesn't inspire fear. It inspires feelings of shame, and loathing for its obese curvature. It makes me want to go Grouper fishing just to murder something in nature with that level of uglyness.
If it were up to me, which it painfully isn't, I'd have the Gallente Dread model base itself off the sleeker designs of the Megathron, or Thorax. Maybe even something super-funky like a Tristan, because this lump-o-crap design is really starting to annoy. Why does this make perfect sense? Megathron and Thorax are kings of damage for their class, and to make its most devastating cousin look like something more suited to act as a carrier? Huk. :/
PS: I know about the lack of textures. Don't care.

Too lazy and the base was good so edited for my race

Yes, less Dominix more Megathron, please!
Just imagine what'd happen if you made a cross between Megathron and Gallente Shuttle!
Scratch that, just blow the Gallente Shuttle up to 300 times size and change it's texture and you'll have a beautiful assault ship. Tech 2 Gallente Shuttle 4tw!

Edit: Reworded to show the correct moderation. I appologize for that mistake. I knew the Gallente Dread had messed up Gfx, but it has been brought to my attention that these were extracted from the client, which is not allowed.
The gallente Dread was paraded on Sisi today, weren't those screenshots taken on the test server?

regardless of texture and/or origin of images, it looks like cow excrement. dung. a coprolite in space. NOT GOOD.

I hate to agree but...
I do, After seeing the amarr one (which looks like it has a witches nose), I think the Minmatar Dread looks the coolest from the three I've seen (havent seen caldari yet) but the Gallente looks like a huge ugly blob.
over the last 2 years, I've grown to appreciate the Dominix, but both the Destroyer and Battlecruiser dont follow Gallente Fashion, and now, neither does the Dreadnaught.
Gallente design is sleek... sexy, smooth and symetrical, the most symetrical ships of all of the 4 main races (amarr a close second) the Destroyer is a single wing, the Brutix is an ugly frumpy looking ship, the Freighter is an american refridgerator, and now the dreadnaught looks like an over-weight bulk
Please oh please Mr Art Department, please give us gallente our sleek and sexy designs back

I personally had a laughing fit when I saw the screens. I agree that the gallent capital ships should stick to the sleek designs similar to the thorax, mega, and incusus and less the bloby like the dominix. Something slighly more similar in style to the gallente Titan
But overall for the dreds, I actually like the Minnie one the best so far.

I like the amarr one. It looks a lot better than the other 2 combined. I want to see the caldari one though.

It could be a lot better. They should add projections like the megathron has on its twin hulls in strategic locations to make it look sharp and intimidating.

*agrees*
And Dreads shouldn't look 'sleek', if anything else. They move 70m/s (roughly), for craps sake!

I like the Gallante dread. The shape is a bit odd, but when I picture it with a Texture like the Brutix it's sweet.

So far I love the Amarr and Minnie ones, but I can't really judge the gallentean one. It doesn't look too bad, though it's hard to judge with that messed up texture.
I am hopelessly in love with the minnie one. It has, arguably, the greatest name of any ship in the game (Naglfar in nordic mythology. In short, it's the ship that will herald Ragnar÷k), and the fact that it looks so damn sinister make it just.. loveable.
I'm also not sure what is more scary, the ship that heralds certain impending doom or a ship that packs 4000ish millimeter howitzers.

I kinda like the amarr one.
The gallente and to a lesser extent the minnie ones are crap though. Gallente one was described quite eloquently by DC... the minnie one looks like a slice of tree bark.

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.
