Now, I'm seeing a lot of negative vibes towards the model for the space potato recently. My question to you: why? It's a highly characteristic model, and according to the description is meant to look old. Ergo, the potato seems to fit the nuggety physique you might expect from something old old old.
To me, those saying it's ugly are deluded. But then, I like the moros. Let's hear your opinions! CISPA - Readin' your secret corptheft mails since 2012 |

Dunno.
Looks fine to me.
now that Moa *shudders*
I do admit, though, most other battleships do look better. The Domi could possibly see some of the love the raven and Tempest have gotten recently. |

Don't think of it as a space potato. Rather, think of it as a well armed mobile asteroid.

Because it looks like ****. It's an ugly lump of **** with engines shoved into the back. It has no shape, no style, not even the random weirdness of a Moa. It looks like the artist took the basic sketch for a ship, smoothed it out until nothing was left but a blob, and threw a random spaceship texture on it. Job done in 15 minutes just before the deadline, and the art department had to pretend it was deliberate to avoid the humiliation of failure.
And the really sad thing? Ship after ship gets a shiny new model while the Dominix is left with a model that drives you to suicide every time you realize your character has suffered the shame of flying a Dominix in public. |

Drones are like the weather. Don't like 'em? Wait a week. Be a whole new balance.
Do you know how many times they've gone from uber to useless and back over the years?

It's because of rouge drones. Creodron prides themselves on their drones AU (artificial uninteligence), that is too stupid to possibly pose a threat to anyone. not even the ships who happen to be shooting you at the moment. |

I don't like it but some seem to love it
But consider, the work on the Tempest and Megathron made them look a lot better while keeping the same shape and style. Maybe the Domi can be updated with the same feel but to appeal to everyone? |

That's an unfair dismissal of someone's opinion, but I don't like the Moa either
Asymmetry can make a ship a lot more interesting, though |

Most ships in EvE feature some asymmetry.
In most cases, a symmetry or lack thereof has a relatively minor effect on the overall aesthetic quality of the model. |

The Domi may not be the prettiest ship in New Eden.
But the Imicus.
It's a cross between the kiddie Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Treebeard from Lord Of The Rings.
Its a spaceship FFS! Make it stop giving me nightmares.
As my daughter said when she first saw the Imicus.

Raptors Mole - "It's a scanning ship called an Imicus, Princess"

Yeah domi model is just terrible, and so lame (those wheels thingy?).
BTW I hate moros model too, even gall titan is meeh
We have in EVE more ships that look not even bad but stupid... fat pigeon anyone? But it's sooooo fantastic that they redoing models one by one and new one looks amazing (mega, tempest etc) |

I don't like the looks of the Domi because it looks like it should tumble out of control. Its movements don't really seem to match its mass distribution either, given its proportions I would expect it to move more like a combine harvester rather than a warship.
It almost appears as if someone said, "Hey we are going to build these portable stationary combat buildings" and then realized that if they left the temporary engines on it that should have been removed once it was in place, it could be a battleship. While I see where people call is a potato, it looks more like an electric razor to me. That or a redneck college stunt where they took some bad hatchback, flipped it on its roof, and stuck rockets where the headlights were.
I've used them from time to time because they are so versatile, but god I think they're ugly. Definitely one you put a brown paper bag over before getting to work. I mine in EVE because I'm too drunk to fish in WoW.-á |

The Domi looks great and it's an interesting model. At least, it looks better than half of the Minmatar ships, I can't bear to be seen in most of those. I trained up missiles because even Caldari look better than Minmatar. If you're not already part of a bloc, this is the best guy for CSM8. |
