Avera Mikou	Posted - 2006.12.04 15:31:00 - [1] Seems that all the other races have unique aesthetic designs, esp. amarr and gallente (and jovian), minmatar aren't exactly pretty in the same sense but they still look high quality and real...but caldari just look like they were made out of folded paper with stickers on them. It's a shame because they seem to have been the only ones blessed with the technology of missiles
Navinavi	Posted - 2006.12.04 15:38:00 - [2] Well m8, i don't know what you're getting at...i love my cadari ships and i think most of them look really pretty ^_^...with exception to the moa, i just don't like the look of that ship, others can have their opinions tho. Gallente: pretty ships that are curvy (mostly) Amarr: Very pretty symetrical yellow ships (also mostly) Minmatar: Sticks and stones glued together Caldari: lego based ^_^, ends up being a little more geometric than the other races
Ortu Konsinni KIA Corp	Posted - 2006.12.04 15:40:00 - [3] I rather like how Caldari ships look, for the most part... except the Raven, the Moa and some of the frigs. --- High quality pics of ALL EVE ships!

Twilight Moon Minmatar Malicious Intentions	Posted - 2006.12.04 15:50:00 - [5] Originally by: Ortu Konsinni I rather like how Caldari ships look, for the most part... except the Raven, the Moa and some of the frigs. Same. Asymmetrical ships appeal to me. (Empty Space - Thinking)

Wotar	Posted - 2006.12.04 17:19:00 - [7] Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Shi Mun Caldari Aurora Development Corp	Posted - 2006.12.04 17:19:00 - [8] Look again the rokh isnt entirely symmetrical i love the way caldari ships look... but the moa is the ugly decrepit duckling... its beautiful on the inside...i think...hmmm --------------------------- HAHA! your jammers suck now! Oh wait whats happening to my scorpion...
Aqwis Silaman	Posted - 2006.12.04 17:38:00 - [9] Not all the Caldari ships look ugly - just look at the Drake and Ferox. Might not beat the Ferox or Apoc in looks, but they sure as hell ain't too bad looking. Altho there are of course the Raven, Moa and that mining cruiser that do look veryfugly - aka the original Caldari ships.

Murukan Minmatar The Priory Shroud Of Darkness	Posted - 2006.12.04 18:27:00 - [11] it's cause since they take no skill to fly you have to have one downside Manlove by Zaphod Jones
Noriath	Posted - 2006.12.04 18:34:00 - [12] Yea, it's because they are better at everything else then the other races. In fact after adding the Rokh the Devs have decided that Caldari ships have to be even more ugly in the future so anyone will use other races and will color them pink with red stripes with the next patch.
Arowe Telak	Posted - 2006.12.04 18:34:00 - [13] I think the models are great but I agree that the textures at least of Caldari ships look rather ... bleh. Hopefully the graphics update will change this. Sigs are overrated.
Raging Strike Caldari	Posted - 2006.12.04 18:42:00 - [14] Caldari ships are meant to be utilitarian. Their whole background is basicly 'get er done!'. As much as I'd have liked more curved designs, I have to give CCP credit for at least making them [nearly] symetrical. The Drake's sorta scalloped shape gives it the illusion of size (from the top, as large as a BS), which I like. The Rokh design makes me think of a locomotive, or at least a nice big club ready to clobber something.
Emperor D'Hoffryn No Quarter.	Posted - 2006.12.04 18:45:00 - [15] The drake is dead sexy. but eh, who cares how the ship looks, its how it performs. Originally by: Tuxford Yes we don't play on our main accounts simply because you would lose all respect for us

People really do seem to want something beautiful but unforgiving.

Pinky Denmark	Posted - 2006.12.04 19:34:00 - [21] I saw a spot on Eve TV and I'm not sure but I think he said it was possible they wanted to make all new Caracal models - and if they do I bet they thought about making a new Moa model... That is the most ugly Lego Brick I've ever flown.. The new ships in general are very cool... BC's and Rokh is OMG Nice

Shalia Ripper Caldari Perpetua Umbra Brotherhood Of Steel	Posted - 2006.12.04 20:18:00 - [26] Edited by: Shalia Ripper on 04/12/2006 20:21:17 Ok, the Caldari have some flat out ugly ships, such as the Osprey and the Moa, but the Merlin, Kestrel and Drake and downright sexy in my book. Raven is so-so, at least it looks much better than the Domi. ;) P.S. JeanPierre, you are still one of the fuinniest people I have ever run across in EVE. For anyone that has not read JeanPierre's Bio ingame, you must do so.

No kidding, I tried to Salvage one last night. Took me 20 cycles before the pilot convoed me and told me to stop it. True story i almost spit up my coffee ..and i've heard ALOT of minnie jokes rofl, well executed.
goodby4u	Posted - 2006.12.04 21:05:00 - [28] Uhh well the two ships(the way they look wise)i like is the geddon and the raven geddon looks like a juggernaut especially with lasers firing. raven looks like a solidly built ship(like the dominix)except not as....ugly. Plus the raven gets the cool hardeners that makes it look even more solid.
Pinky Denmark	Posted - 2006.12.04 21:06:00 - [29] Osprey doesn't look that bad... a fat ugly bug, but it's not the ugliest around...
