Given that fact that the ships could have had any design I'm amazed that there are very few cool looking ships in EVE.
Gallente look like blancmange moulds (Dominix flying turd)
Caldari are made from lego (which way does the Raven fly?)
Amarr all look the same like far eastern cars (I'm sure teh Geddon and Thorax are related )
Minmatar look like you dropped a magnet in a spare parts bin and a few stuck... (What the hell happened when the Typhoon was developed?!!)
Don't get me wrong I like the Mach and the Arbitrator look good and I actually like the shuttles except the Caldari one but surely a few more cool designs could have/could be added?!
As the human torch would say "Flame on"

meh i agree with most of what your sayin. Caldari lack polygons i swear. they use em all in the smooth corners lol.
Anyways, my main problem with the ships is teh damn size/polygon count ! increase it ! bigger ships dont feel big because the textures are quite bad.
Even cruisers felt wierd. i was slightly dissapointed when i first bought a rax (nobody had them back then, cruisers that is) was expecting sweetness because i had only seen screenshots and then i picked it up and it looked kinda funky. They are supposed to be masssiiive ships.
I think the coolness factor would go up if they updated the textures. And if you guys take alook at Linkage from http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=232811 you can see there are some damn nice textures in game ! they just scale it down i guess.
I personally like the caldari shuttle btw :D minny shuttle sucks. amarr has some funky textures that make it look bad although the shape is cool :D

The Vengeance NEEDS to be nerfed. It's ability to die FAR outclasses ANY OTHER SHIP IN THE GAME! One time, I engaged one and it went down in seconds, any other AF that can do that? Not r

Those are the regular textures with some bump mapping and pre-rendered shadows I believe. I'm pretty certain the devs want to revamp all the major systems (turrets code is getting an overhaul shortly) and then go back and add graphical power to the system. Also remember that adding another level of textures will require quite a lot of download time as there are a LOT of things to have high-quality texturing and I'm sure they don't want to double the file size on the game while they're still having server issues

Bah, damnit, that was me - new PC didn't have the "make default character" option selected.
