Sigh, anyone notice that all four designs share the same general form? Longest lengthwise, vertical span second, horizontal span last... where are the vertical designs? Where are the aberrations of geometry a la Scorpion?
Could just be a case of form following function. It doesn't look like there's a great deal of variation across functionality (lots of turrets on all), so it's not entirely surprising that they all conform to a fairly efficient design given certain parameters. And the Caldari design is hella sexy however you analyse it...

Caldari Teir III bs concept is a Rippoff of the Aeon mothership design.
Bring on more Skorpion designs with real character.

While I like the tier 3 Caldari BS concept, it looks entirely too much like a certain duct-tape-and-cardboard (minmatar) battlecruiser

I am in love with the new Caldari design. The only design in all of EVE that can match it is the Harpy.
And I can't begin to describe how relieved I am that it's symmetrical, just so long as there aren't any nasty "surprises" on the other side.
I honestly think it looks more like a battleship than the 11 other ones. In fact, ever since it came out, I thought the Ferox looked more like a battleship than the 8 real ones...this Caldari design is the only battleship that looks like one more than the Ferox.
quote=j0sephine]has this 'Aliens movie ship' vibe going all over it. rawr :>~~
That's what I thought too.

Look, the Caldari one is both symmetrical, AND attractive. I'd love to see something really unusual, hell, a truly vertical design like the Naglfar would kick ass, but we've got what we needed most, I'm not willing to ask for more.

There's a difference between character (Ferox, Harpy), and looking ugly for the sake fo being weird (Scorpion, Raven, MOA). Besides, the first two have that "look" to them, don't complain just because we have one symmetrical design.

There was a good comment on the ship-of-line similarity somewhere in the thread.
Makes sense from a design perspective too.
RMR Arms Race -> Capital Ships -> Upgraded, Heavier Battleships
Wouldn't be surprised if that was the seed given to the design department.

"Caldari Teir III bs concept is a Rippoff of the Aeon mothership design."
Can't find what the Aeon thingie looks like ... or do you mean EVE Amarr mothership? o.O;
anyway, this is what Caldari ship reminds me of... and since it's one of my favourite ships, not going to complain <g>

How can you say the Caldari teir 3 looks like the Aeon? Have you even looked at the Aeon?

I seriously like the design of the new Caldari battleship, if only because it continues the proud Caldari tradition of having as few consistent design elements between their various ships as possible.  Seriously, are there any other Caldari ships, outside of capitals and industrials, that follow this particular elongated general form? The fact that it's not a random jumble of boxes and protrusions a la Raven or Scorpion is what sets it apart and gives it bundles of character.

Amazing. A Caldari design that isn't painful on the eyes. The thing looks like a juggernaut, just a big fist of doom. I'm sure the devs will do something to ugly it up by the time it's in-game. ;)

Its a tier 3 ship, BS 3 should be sufficent.
I dont know why people keep complaining about the gallente BS, it fits the gallente theme perfectly. Its organicly shaped with curves all over the place. I think it just looks bad since its a complete side view, look at ships like the mega from the side and it doesnt look all that impressive either.
Im starting to think the concept artist made the pic a side view only to keep it a surprise, i wonder how it really looks.
EDIT: that caldari BS looks kickass though.

So we're done referring to the Gallente one as the "butt plug" then? Pity, it struck me as being so apt.
Also: I do believe I see two rows of four turrets per side on that Caldari ship (which reminds me of all my favourite space battleships, like the Sulaco, and the Pillar of Autumn). Caldari railboat ftw.
I can just imagine one of those parked at the edge of a fight with a full rack of 350s and a drone bay full of sentry drones...

Bet its missing the 'wing' bit on otherside to match the Caldari un-symetrical suckage.

You mean 425s? :D
mmm.. 8 425s... I might actually train caldari BSes, if this does turn out to be a railboat.

and if they didnt, just look at the picture, 8 turrets ftw

Coming from someone who LOVES the way the raven looks. That new ship is nice looking.
Once again the Caldari prove they know how to design a ship for war, and intemidation; not to be girlish with pretty pink flowers and smooth following lines like a gall ship. Or amarr who happen to lack all taste. And lets not even talk about the rust bucket race.

I love the look of the Scorpion, I confess... probably the reason it's the only battleship I own.
Having said that, I like the looks of all four races, and their ships (Except for the fething Moa, that is...)
