I'm not sure if these have been posted however they are out and they are quite wicked cool.
Amarr Battleship
Minmattar Battleship
Gallente Battleship
Caldari Battleship isn't listed, it'll probably look like a really cool ship with half of it cut off.
These are off an Artists website who says he's done work on EVE, he has other sketches in the gallery of existing ships (Titans, carriers, fighters. They seem to be public domain so I see no harm in posting them, If CCP doesn't want these viewed yet you can lock this thread immedietly.
I see some things I find interesting, namely the Amarr one being so wide and stout (makes me think they are going to try and give the Amarr a versi bs like the phoon and domi), and hte Gallente one looking like a progression of the tristan-celestis school of Gall design... I like that. I also think that the minnie one will end up with sails like the tempest has in those locations, which will make it a sweet looking ride.
Hearty Thumbs up to the Eve Artists.

I think the Gallente one is the one that most badly needs to be seen from another angle.
I could imagine it looking really cool or really lame depending on how they do one or two details.

The way I THINK it looks is that the engines will be on a cloverleaf like protrusions, with the two engines in the front coming out noticably (theres something on the front that seems like an engine pod).
The guns seem to be on the very nose and tail. (the 44 points, which ostensibly would be on the other side as well).

Asymettric designs would require orders of magnitude more engineering spent to ensure that stresses remained constant.
That can be justified in some times and cases but by and large any sane society would try to have symmetry in thier spaceship designs to reduce the amount of expense (and not to mention wasted mass) of developing ships.

The Gall one does kinda look like a snake that ate a dinner plate.

Of course theres always the possibility that they may be Battlecruiser models.
Cus were getting new BC's.
SO I don't know if these are all bS or if they are all BC's, or if theres some of each.

Fair nuff Meridius, but the artist may not know the difference between a BC and a BS and even if he does theres no gauruntees till its on Tranq.
Remember the Mammoth was originally a minnie Battleship as well.
I just wish sisi was up with these suckers on them

Need I point out that its entirely possible that the Amarr ship has internal armour belts.
This is not an unknown practice, Indeed slathering armour to only the outside of a ship is actually one of the least effective ways of designing an armour system.

Seriously Optimal IS a damage bonus, the best one actually.
Antimatter with an optimal of 78 is far more then 25% more damage then the ammo that youd otherwise have to use at that range.
IT will probably be 6 turrets, 7 would be overpowered.
