Same here. Part of it is that it's the only battleship I want (Shield tanking turret ship), and part of it is that it looks so damned good.

Although Megathron and Armageddon is DAMNED close.

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 never knew smooth lines were "girly" i guess all of the new cars these days are girly eh? lol
TBH though, i never found the caldari ships to be intimidating in looks, they seem like a block flying towards you :| The mega, geddon, and tempest are the most intimidating looking ships of all though IMO.

No way they'll use that model. It looks like a whole ship, not half ship and half horrible shipyard accident.

Now that caldari ship looks good, I will probably buy one just for the asthetic value.

Again the caldari win out on the design, nice one.
Gallente looks like one piece of pipe linked to another, or some kind of motorblock, did they steal that design from the matari?
Remind me about The Maze.

Feh, it will have a huge bulge or spherical thing mounted on a flimsy pylon on the other side as a "bridge", just you wait.

The matari one needs to be more asymetrical, with only one wing to the side up front like that world war II british machinegunpistol, the sideloaded one.
I imagine you're thinking of the Sten gun (which was technically classed as a submachinegun).
I quite like the Matari design. A lot. Almost makes me want to fly Matari.
Well, almost.

Oh gods please no, don't even talk about that.
Oveur, I'm begging you, please don't let the Caldari battleship come out asymmetrical!

Honestly I can't say the Caldari designs look bad because they're asymetrical. Most Caldari ships are mainly symetrical except for one protrustion. It's just the way Caldari ships are and I think it makes them more interesting for that.
As for the new Caldari BS, that's one nice looking ship. But they should size it down a bit, the concept art makes it look bigger than the Phoenix.

The Caldari battleship looks neat. Actually looks pretty intimidating. But I still think that the Amarr battleship is better looking.

I just adjusted my plan for the T3 Caldari BS... however it's ONLY if it looks as cool as that concept.

yes i have, Its effectivly an aircraft carrier design, a large deck, with a control tower, then a huge slab stuck of one side of it so it doesn't look like a boat.
the only difference betwen the two ships is the Aeon is typically amarrish and round, and the caldari BSIII ofcourse looks like it was made from Lego Blocks

Leaving looks aside, I hope the Caldari BS is in fact released with 8 turret slots. Please don't do something naf like having 2 launchers and 6 turrets. I want a through and through Caldari GUNship BS! I want 8 guns! I look at other Caldari gunships, like the Ferox (up to 5 turrets on 7 high slots) and Moa (up to 4 turrets on 6 high slots), and think there's a risk of losing gun turret slots for missile launcher slots. Please no. 
 Has anyone heard any info about the hi, mid, low slot layouts for any of the Tier 3 BS?
Now for looks. Please give us one symmetrical Caldari BS design! No fly bridges, spikes, lumps or protrusions on the other side please.
As for the Gallente design; I can live with the huge hat brim but mounting engines in the brim looks a bit odd. Perhaps if the brim were thicker or if engine "pods" protruded through the other side of the brim or if the position of the rear guns and the engines were swapped?  However, I do like the organic curves on the Gallente BS design.
I agree the Amarr design would look better with more armour filling out the gaps. The Minmatar design does look a little Star Wars. However, it does look very cool and if Tier 3 represents the latest technology from each race then it's reasonable that the design looks more polished and less like a gaffer taped and balsa wood approach to space travel!

The (very preliminary) data from early january has an 8/7/5 ship with 7 turrets and 2 launchers. Hopefully itll have 8, 7 would mar the symmetricity (is that even a word?) of that design

looking at the caldari design... definitely nice. like the Amarr one it looks particularly massive. the gallente one *REALLY* REALLY needs a 3/4 view like the others, the style makes it look huge... but it just doesn't seem as "real" and deep feeling.
the "concern" looking at the amarr one is what sorta style it "looks" like. on the sides it has those 8 obvious turret spots... which I think kinda goes against the drone-ship "feel" I think it has. but I guess you could call those drone deployment ports or something, if they were holes instead of mount-type spots. hard to tell from the drawing I think.
I think the caldari one looks like a gunboat too. it looks like it could very very readily have a full rack of turrets (4 visible spots that look like good turret placements on the lower and upper parts of that main block-y section) and nowhere that looks that it'd be really good for missiles. (ok, neither does the raven... but meh)
maybe the gallente one could be more heavily in missiles... that'd be interesting. 4 missile slots, 4 turret slots maybe... 8 highs, 5 turret hardpoints, 5 missile hardpoints would be pretty slick, high versatility... at least 75m3 drone bay, maybe more...

Personally i think the Caldari one seems to be the only one following the current styles.
The Amarr ships are usually slick and smooth, yet this one, although it looks awesome, looks more like a minnie ship with a smooth top.
The matari one definately needs a few chunks knocked out of it and some rust, but it does look kinda minnie.
Overall, i like the designs..well yeah the gallente is a lil odd..but otherwise..good stuff!!

The caldari ship appears to have eight turret hardpoints on the side facing us, 4 on the top, and 4 on the bottom and slightly forward.
Perhaps the other side shares those 8 turret hardpoints. Definately looks like a 8 Turret setup

That tier 3 Caldari Battleship looks badass. I'm almost inlove with it :P Bring it ! Just the way i would picture a "real" battleship.
Lets just hope its somewhat symmetrical to and i will never look at another ship !

My takes on the four designs:
Amarr: Where your typical Amarr BS is part weapon of war, part glorious icon of Imperial Might (you can tell I play 40K), that concept art looks more like what the empire were to produce if they were to produce a no-frills, top-flight battleship, with only a token amount of decoration and glory thrown in. It looks hihg-tech by Amarr standards, and gives me the impression of having been crafted to excel on the modern EVE battlefield. Rather than letting sweeping curves of gold armour plating strike fear into the enemy, it prefers to let its weapons do all the intimidation.
Caldari: Somebody at a corporation somewhere got promoted after pointing out that what the State lacks is a long-range support vessel. And, in keeping with modern Caldari design philosophy, it's not decorative at all, but looks intimidating as hell because it's designed to be among the most efficient war machines ever made, and that shows in its appearance.
Gallente: Designed by some Giger-esque artist within the federation. Maybe based on an award-winning sculpture, or maybe something else. Who knows? it looks big, and green, and shiney, and I guess you'd have to be distantly descended from a frenchman to really appreciate it...
Minmatar: Minmatar ship building for the modern age, where the Republic is now sufficiently established to build ships according to a standard pattern, and have begun seriously researching more and more advanced ship building techniques, and have applied it to producing a more complete starship. Maybe they hired some Caldari engineers... It looks sleek and fast and dangerous, like a shark. I can really imagine that thing sweeping in low at very high speeds (by battleship standards) and raking enemy warships with massed autocannon fire, or maybe a full artillery broadside.

4 top, 4 bottom on this side +4 top 4 bottom on the other side = 8
