We actually do have a UFO saucer ship, we just can't fly it. It's the Jovian industrial ship.
EDIT: And I +1 this for adding more vertical ships, hell I nominate they redesign the ugly as f*ck revenant into the vertical super carrier, and add some damn spikes onto it while your at it. Seriously, whoever did the design for the revenant should be ashamed of themselves. |

Space is like jello, how would a vertical carrier not glide through jello better than a horizontal one?

Because drag. Water is not near as thick as jello. When was the last time you saw a vertical submarine? |

Why wouldn't drag also make being a horizontal carrier impossible? I think we have someone here who is prejudice against vertical.

Come to think of it the only two "vertical" ships in EVE are the Nagflar and the Myrmidon. That is unless you want to consider the Obelisk the vertical carrier of the group. I also suppose a Catalyst could be a vertical, well horizontal ship instead of a "front to back" ship wich is the same from a design standpoint.
While I agree those ships are cool, its only because they are different.
Its all about where the engines are mounted since this is space. If this was real you would always want the main engines on the "rear" instead of the "edge" in order to navigate though any objects you may come across easier. its the reasons real world vehicles are long instead of wide, this just translates into game design.
If EVE was real the Nagflar probably would not exist. So while being cool because of being different, I prefer at least some grounding in reality.
Also while cosmetics will always play some role in ship choice, if your old enough of a player to fly a dread or carrier, your old enough to know its the stats that matter.

Space has no density, and so there is no drag. So it doesn't matter what shape the ship is, that is why all the NASA ships have wingy bits sticking off them, because aerodynamics only matter on earth or on any earth like celestials, and not in space.
Having said that, going into warp could possibly produce some drag, although as there is no such thing as warp technology in real life, any supposed drag would be simply speculation. |
