Edited by: Reya Lightbringer on 13/04/2006 15:26:43 OK, I'm pretty much still a newb (only been playing for a few months now) but I've gotten a chance to spot almost all the ships in EVE (Battleships and below) and I just can't help but thinking - man are these ships ugly.
Don't get me wrong, I still think the visuals in EVE Online are FAR better than any other space game out there, but some of the ships out there I just can't fly because they look so bad. Caldari would defiantly get my vote as having the worst looking ships and I think Amarr look the best. I dunno - I was just looking for the Caldari to look more like the Terrans from Starcraft (more streamlined) ah well...
So what do you guys think: What is the ugliest ship, or race of ships, out there and what is the prettiest ship, or race of ships?

Specifically, probably the Moa. Even thou its a good ship.
As a race, Minmatar. Looks like their ships have been built with Duct tape and remains from a factory fire

Edited by: Xeaon on 13/04/2006 15:33:04 Imo the reaper (minmatar rookie ship) is the ugliest ingame. Just ewww.
I also agree that most minmatar ships are fugly, but that's thier style to be improvised and cheap - they're cool
Oh yeah and best looking are amarr imo, or gallente, not sure. Gotta love the executioner though huh.

To appreciate Minmatar ships you have to accept the design ethos. No, they don't look as slick as Amarr but they have a style and I quite like it. They are made from bog rolls, duck tape and rust though :)
Worst looking ship, the Caldari starter ship. I detest it.

Edited by: Reya Lightbringer on 13/04/2006 15:38:46 yeah - indeed the Moa and the Osprey spring to mind as FUGLEY. The Minmatar ships have actually been growing on me thow, it's weird. Paticularly the Mammoth.
I do think the Executioner (or its Elitle Frigate counterparts) are the prettiest. We need more ships like that.

I'd have to say Ferox and Zealot are some of the best looking.
And the Mega the best BS. Althou it looks a bit Anime for some

Scorpion, Ferox, Heron and Kestrel are fine to me :)
But it's true Moa and Raven look a bit weird.. they need a lifting.

Edited by: Sheraad on 13/04/2006 15:50:01 Ugly is one thing, unconvincing is another. I think most Caldari shps are ugly as hell, yeah, but they DO look like they were designed by a committee of bureaucrats. The gallente waste money making their ships look elegant once they work. The amarr waste money making their ships look intimidating once they work. The caldari and minmatar just make them work then throw them into space.
edit: gotta disagree about the caldari battleships, though. I think the raven and scorp both look pretty damn cool. (ugliest ship = dominix or any caldari frig)

all gallente ships with the exception of the thorax and megathron are ugly, I dont like ships that look as if they were designed after staring into a toilet for an hour
other ships to add to the ugly list include the moa, griffin and heron
best looking I'd say are ferox, tempest, cyclone, nightmare, apoc, thrasher and badger mk 1 + mk2

Even the Vexor? I always thought it was quite cute looking. The Gallante Frigs all look pretty decent too, expecially the Ishkur (the wee mini drone ship)

Burst, and the Bellicose hull. Many of the Caldari ships just look as if an accident happened to some jetcans. --*=*=*-- Megadon CCP wanted a well known artist and celebrity to test the new font so it's approval would be well known. They got Ray |

Best looking ship in game is the Rattlesnake by far...

Ugliest - Raven/Domi
Coolest - Coercer, Geddon and Merlin (also Rupture is sweet looking too)
As an aside, does the hoarder remind anyone else of the Nostromo from Alien?

The Dominix wins the ugliest thing the Universe award handsdown. Most other ships seem to be acceptable, some of them are quite fugly, but still ok. Dunno what problem some people with Minmatart ships have, I think they look cool, Especially the Cyclone and the Battleships look quite Intimidating.

QFT!!! The domi is SO UGLY!!! OH... MY... GOD... Hell even the raven looks better then that.
One of the nicest ships in the game IMPO, the Flycatcher purty black with gold trimmings.

The dominix would give me a headache.
But the drone bay, bonus and tank counter the headache a full 100% though

Caldari Ships, not including Merlin, Ferox, or Cormorant, are the ugliest. Minmatar ships aren't all that bad looking imo, just tattered. And the only Gallente ship I don't really like is probably the Dominix. Amarr's fine.

I'm actually fond of the Typhoon. It reminds me of some ancient Battlestar Galactica-style ship left out to rust for a decade or three, then scavanged by the Minmitar. Has a whole "refit derilect" look to it. It's ugly as sin like all Minmitar ships, but that's part of their charm. Everything about the Minmitar technology, using archaic chemical and nuclear projectiles, using what appear to be chemical burning engines (ever notice how they burn flame orange?), to the improvised duct tape stylings, is just fun to look at. Reminds me of the Reavers in Serenity.
What I can't stand are most Caldari ships. Just painful to look at. It's like they're attempting to be symetrical, and failing. The Condor looks like someone broke one of it's wings. The Moa's name fits, as it's about as pretty to look at as a Moa. Maybe it's just me, but I can see the lines of symetry that should be there, and they follow right up to a sudden distortion. A wing bent wrong, or a ship - like the Scorpion - that just looks unbalanced. I don't mind the whole "industrial" look to them, that's cool. But the way it's done here makes it look... off. Irks me to no end.
The asymetrical design of Gallente ships dosn't bother me as much, but that fits their overall style. The whole organic look. Their ships look grown instead of built. That said, the Ceteis, Exequror, Imicus, and Navitas are hideous. Domi, not so much. Sure, it's a big fat potato, but still, not painful to look at. Still fond of the Mega, though. It looks like a warship ought to look. Stylish, yet intimidating. ______________________________________________

The Minmatar "Burst" mining frigate, its neigh impossible to tell its bow from its stern without firing up the engines.

Yes, minmatar ships look ugly - But then, they are supposed to. They look like no-nonsense spaceships - none of the purty gold bling of the amarr, and none of the aesthetically pleasing gallentean curves - They look like one thing, and one thing only; warships.
Take the tempest. Zero decorations, zero thought put into looking good - What it does look like, however, is the fact that it has enough firepower to obliterate a decent-sized continent.
Respect the Domi. Or else.
