Moa, Typhoon, Caracal, Rupture maybe.
All those ships have been made awesome by balancing patches. Maybe it's time to make them alright to look at.
Especially the Caracal considering it's going to be an awesome Cerberus hull. |

While we have your attention then:
Please do not give in to the OCD crowd that think that everything in space should be symmetrical. This is not Star Trek. Our ships should not be sleek and clean and explode on contact with gas clouds of dubious origin.
Ships in Eve have character. Every race has a unique feel and that feel should be preserved, as much as possible.
Minmatar ships have that "Millennium Falcon" held together by grit, sheer will, and dumb luck feel. Gallente ships have an organic flowing feeling. (But for the love of God, redo the Dominix). They weren't built, they feel like they were grown. Caldari have that mass produced designed by a committee feeling. Amarr ships are great golden testaments to just how righteous the fury of the one true God can be.
Do what you like, but save the spirit behind the ships. It's why we argue so passionately for them - without that spirit, the ships are nothing. Without the ships, Eve is nothing. GÇ£SandboxGÇ¥ does not mean that you will succeed at anything you attempt; it means you can attempt anything you want to succeed at. One of the largest obstacles in the way of your success is other players. |

In general, T2 ships should only resemble their T1 one hulls and less paint jobs.
I don't get the asymetric Caldari ships, not only because I like a symetric shape, but I don't get the Asymetric shape as lore.
A nation gouverned by great coorperations, known for their ruthless efficienty, forgot to use that on their space ship program, and instead of cutting cost and make easier to assemble and easier to mass produce symetric ships. they let their former Gallente federation creativeness work on peaces of modern art.
The Squareness of the ships on the other hand seems very fitting for the Caldari.
I'd actualy would expect the Levihatan to look quite simulair to a Borg Cube. (most effiecient disign for a ship to large to rely on pilot eyes)
Asymetric ships is more something I'd asociate with the Minmatar and the Gallente than with the Caldari and Anmar.
Combining art and lore I'd expect the races to follow a patern something like this.
Anmar: Built to intimidate, So shiny their gods can see them from the heavens
Caldari: Efficient, simple no noncence disign.
Gallente: As with all in the Fedaration, ship design should be an art by it self.
Minmatar: Lets see what recources we have and that will be it.
Then again I'm not the art director, but it's what I think would be cool. I

On the caldari it is odd that so many ships look like blobs of squares... blackbird, moa osprey..
As considering the names of caldari ships are bird based then surely wing based ships make the most sense perhaps to resemble the name of the ship ... so blackbird could look like an actual blackbird in flight.. i like the caracal line a symmetrical bird like design Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name AB's need a buff-á like a big mass reduction ... module tiercide FTW role based instead of tiers please. |

Omen, Amarr ships shouldn't have "wingy bits" that's for minmitar's interstellar trashbins.
Armageddon, used to be ok with the model, but now that I fly these regularly for pvp after the great Amarr Unnerfing, the model is kinda of... unfinished feeling.
I'd also like to see supercarrier's models increased in size to half that of a titan. They are too damn small for their materials cost and ehp. And they are still about the size of a carrier +25%.
PS: Also what one of the earlier posters suggested, increase the size of stations, Amarr station interiors are still bigger than the ENTIRE EXTERIOR MODELS. Also the opening for half the stations couldn't even accommodate some battleships, let alone carriers/dreads/freighters/orcas. |

Symmetry is over-rated in space ship design. There is no need for any specific shape, due to the fact that there is no need to generate lift, and nothing to create drag..
HOWEVER, even without being symmetrical...the design of all the ships in the game should feel BALANCED. That is what is most important in my mind. There should be a clear sense that the shapes of the ships' shapes fit their "functional purpose" and lore. |

Thinking on the Dominix...
I can imagine a mild redesign where a vertical edge is introduced along the right and left front to make it appear more like you are about to be bludgeoned when one of these warps in on you.
For a more radical redesign, I imagine the Dominix becoming the Battleship version of our beloved Space Tick, the Tristan. Imagine a massive death mask arriving with a rictus grin with flowing tendril arms thrown up and back, others down and to the side with Neut mounts, sentries emerging in a star pattern. Think of a nightmarish Avatar face without the stalk behind the ship. |

One of the reasons i got drawn to Caldari when starting out was the odd and sometimes asymmetrical designs. Personally I like all the designs, each one has kinda grown on me. Yes, that includes the Moa <3
If i had to choose though, I would have to say Gallente ships needs a revamp. Not entirely new models (okay, apart from the imicus, that thig is fugly) but perhaps a texture change. The current shade of green on T1 ships is horrible. The new Windicator texture is very sexy, so perhaps do something similar with the T1 Gallente hulls?
As for WIP's like the Crucifier, I'm really really liking. Especially the animated parts, makes it seem more alive and functioning as opposed to an inanimate model with turrets attached to it. Perhaps all T1 frigates needs a tweak similar to the Crucifier? vOv |

I like the Crucifier. Its lore makes it a bundle of electronics and sensors with engines strapped on, and it has the barely-finished look of a scientific craft. The redesign proposed at Fanfest is lovely, except that it looks too much like an Executioner.
I'd take a clean sheet of paper to the Maller, Thorax, Dominix (maybe more like a large Vexor and less like a grossly bloated Vexor?), and Blackbird. I'd also like to see the barges and exhumers redone along the lines of the Venture. Finally, I'd like someone to redo the Orca--it's a beautiful design, but there's no way that you can squeeze a battlecruiser in there.
As far as Caldari lore goes, I think pitching the conceit that they're all boiled down to the bare minimum would go a long way. If there are multiple, large, competing corporations then they would be trying to build their own brands. Then you could stop pretending that the Raven and Scorpion designs are anything other than aesthetic, and adopt that sort of aesthetic across the ship lines.

I personally like the Minmatar designs, though the color scheme could use a makeover. They are very drab. It is also not like the ships are any cheaper then the other empires. Also the cost of paint compared to the cost of a ship is nothing. "They don't have the resources to paint their ships" was never a realistic bit of lore for me. Just taking the ever illogical real world, I can paint several rooms in my house for the cost of 50 rounds of ammo for my 44mag, even the cheap AK-47 ammo can pay for a can of paint in 100 rounds.
Of course ideally they would allow us to customize the color schemes of our ships. Not sure how the EVE engine would handle it, but it has been common in some games for quite a while.
I also want to point out that I don't think metals would rust in space. After all rust is the process of oxidization and there isn't a whole lot of oxygen in space to react with, if anything they would be rusty on the inside, not the outside. Then you also have to take into consideration that tritanium and pyrite (which I assume would make up the majority of the shell) would not necessarily rust to brown. After all silver and copper both rust to green (as well as their common alloys) and some metals don't really rust at all (don't think titanium or aluminum can even rust). If you look at some of the most colorful natural features on earth, with vibrant reds and greens and blues, those are often oxidizations of other mineral types. |

You would think that by now we would be advanced enough to be able to make paint. How hard can it be? Just throw some ferric oxide into some biofuel and have red paint. If I can get turrets attached, and subsystems installed I should be able to have my ships custom painted.
I would paint my Loki camo.
Yes I am an alt. I see no reason to make it easy for bullies and greifers |

With the remade Apoc (which now looks like an armourtank ) and the likes (Mega, Pest, "the not so new scorp", Stabber, Bombers and rookieships, the Maller) pretty much all other ships now look - bland. Like the Mach Rokh the Spacepotatoe... the Geddon the Baddon and so on and so forth. The level of detail just feels so vastly different. If we could get an overhaul of all of them at once that'd be awesome. Estimated date: when the core code is overhauled and replaced (very SOON(tm) ). |

So you guys who want to change it are like guys that like Bugatti's, Ferrari's and Zonda's. When someone asks you what you would do to a '32 Ford Coupe you observe it's old and want to turn it into a supercar. However, my point is that the deuce coupe is a classic, and that "old" look IS cool. If the roads were filled with Bugatti's and nothing else, they'd be less cool.
