I don't really like the Star Wars ships. I like the Star Trek ships better, such as the original Constitution class Enterprise and the Enterprise A. I also like the Excelsior class such as the Enterprise B and the Miranda class. I don't like the Enterprise-D Galaxy Class and Sovereign class. I like the Intrepid class (Voyager), the Prometheus class, the Nova class (like the one shown in the last episode with Harry Kim as the captain), and the Akira class. I think the Enterprise NX looks ugly. I don't like the Defiant either, which does not look rightly Trek to me.
Among alien ships, I like the Klingon Bird of Prey, the Vorcha class battlecruiser, and the big Romulan Warbird (Deridex class it's called I think). I think the Warbird and the Romulans are like an inspiration to the Amarr.
I like the original Battlestar Galactica, the Vipers, the Cylon raiders and the Cylon base ship.
In other games I like the Sabre class and Hammerhead class heavy fighter from Freelancer; the Galspan Archangel from Tachyon the Fringe; the Dralthi from Wing Commander, the Medusa bomber from Freespace. But the best ship designs I've seen were from the Homeworld series, many of whom are just incredible from the Taiidani Interceptor and bomber, the Hiigaraan Mothership, the Hiigaraan Battlecruiser from HW2, the Kadeshi mothership, the Kun-Laan mining mothership from Cataclysm.
EVE I think really breaks new ground in ship artistry, particularly in being wild, alien and assymetric. EVE takes assymetric ship design to new levels. Its not enough to look sleek and beautiful---they also need to jar your senses and provoke a response. Even the ugliest ships in EVE provokes a response and brings an aura in them.
Favs: Omen, Vexor, Merlin, Armaggedon, Raven, Caracal, Punisher, Rifter, Typhoon, Apoc, Thorax, Amarr Impaler, Angel Impaler (NPC), Concord Battleship, Tristan, Executioner, Incursus, and Mammoth.
