Airplanes need to be symmetrical for the sake of aerodynamics. In space, there's very little air, so ships don't need to be built for aerodynamics, lessening the restrictions of symmetry.
In engineering, when you don't need a thing, there is usually a better solution which doesn't involve the thing you don't need - hence asymmetrical ships.

On the other hand, for pure aestethics, I agree in part, some ships do look pretty ugly.

Symmetry is the crutch of the unimaginative.

---

When I look at a leaf I see symmetry. When I look at a flower I see symmetry. When I look at ants, and birds, and bears, and humans I see symmetry.

More crutchless, imaginative gods please!

On top of that, I'm curious how they get around the backstory, which says that tritanium in unstable in most atmospheres.

Nope

And the flogging of this poor horse needs to stop.

it is VERY discouraging when u get a response from the dev's like this.. this is a all out: 'Don't like it, get the F**K away from our game, we don't WANT your money.'


Ttry to maybe be a bit more diplomatic and maybe even 'give' a little. U do NOT need to force your ugly designs down our throat forever..eventualy we will get bored with the game, and while eve has so much to offer, eventualy the pain it causes to my eyes from looking at all your retarded designs will cause me to cancel my account.




That will take a year or two though... but it could happen sooner, and with many people, who DO want to 'enjoy' the ship they fly. Everyone wants to 'like' what they control. Why else are there many player made models/skins which replace existing designs for each ship model?


Try to give a little dev team.. don't respond like that.. VERY bad for customer relations. U can give to BOTH sides of the argument and not lose ANY ground.

Is this asymmetrical enough for you, Avon?

Damn his filthy tie, it ruins the symmetry.

Anyway, the devs can new make ships however they want - I've got my megathron, the sexiest beast in the game and she's all the symmetry I need. Can't say I'd rate her too much if she had one leg shorter than the other :)

True, but then again several psychological studies on people, chimps and several other animals have shown that symmetry is a primary factor determining a prospective mate's attractiveness and even the appeal of objects!

Whats with the pugnacious and irritable attitude you always show in your replies? Guess a little more diplomacy on the forums would keep other hotheads at bay if you toned down your need to flatten them

Then you aren't looking close enough.
True symmetry is very, very rare in nature.

---

I'd suggest that you aren't looking close enough either then.

One of the most common patterns in nature - is the self-similar or Fractal pattern. Surely this is Symmetry at its purest.

Look at Ferns, Leaves, Animals, DNA, lot's of crystals ...

And what about textures? The apoc textures look a bit () outdated...
