The maller looks awesome since it was updated as do the new paint jobs on the full ship list as a whole.
But what if any, do you think need a reworking of their hulls?
I vote for the Harbinger. Great ship, very versatile, but is not in keeping with the rest of the Amarian fleet.
Then I'd like to see an update to the Typhoon, it looks like a rusty brick, closley followed by the Apocalypse / Paladin. For me, the underside looks like a construction site.
What changes, if any, would you like CCP to add to the list for a facelift and which ships would you hate to see changed and why?? |

Some hulls are just low polygon and low quality. And they are mostly Minmatar and Caldari.
Low poly/low texture quality models that need total redos:
Typhoon Stabber Rupture Bellicose Scythe Wreathe Mammoth Blackbird Bantam Condor (just use the new one you made, CCP!),
Bad model, redo it!: Imicus
Weird one out:
Prophecy
This model looks like it was intentionally fattened with a vertical scale. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why. Make it less fat and it's fine. I could fix this model in 10 minutes in 3DS.
I'm not gonna count the noob ships which all need redoing because CCP has already redone them. |

The Probe (and by extension, the Cheetah).
It's such an awkward-looking pile of crap. Easy fix: Swap it with the Minmatar Shuttle model, perhaps with a bit of resizing and a couple of tweaks. "The EVE forums are intended to provide a warm, friendly atmosphere for the EVE community."-áGÇö-áEVElopedia |

Minmatar ships in general tend to alternate between badass (rifter, maelstrom, etc) and akward-looking heap of junk. The rifter is proof enough that a ship can look jury-rigged and rusted without looking ********. A vote for Akirei is a vote for Awesome! |

I agree Typhoon should be top priority, also condor / crow would be more fun to fly if it looked abit more symmetric. The new condor model thats out there is player made but looks absolutely awesome
And yes prophecy is abit fat, still its one the best models in game. |

Gallente hulls that need urgent love:
Imicus/Helios Celestis/Arazu/Lachesis
No amount of motherly love can make the current models look good, even though the ships are great.

CCP finally admitted they made it. They're probably waiting to put it in until the new missile launchers have been sorted. |

Imicus / Helios
Worst ship I've ever had the (dis)pleasure to sit in. It's just so ********, awkward, ill-conceived, ridiculous, fugly, cringe-worthy, embarrassing, but thankfully at least the Helios can cloak to hide its face... the face even a mother couldn't love. It looks like a robot riding a wheelchair leaning of a crutch, with buck teeth, head like a sock monkey and it seems to be screaming "WHYYYYYY??????"
Moa + its variants.
Space chicken that looks like it's muttering inanities to itself as it scuttles about the universe. I don't find it quite as disappointing and atrocious as the Imicus / Helios, but it's pretty close, and actually more ridiculous-looking, in that silly awkward way that doesn't make any sense. I hate the fact that the Gila is a Moa hull because it's so effing ugly, yet such a great ship when it comes to function.
Lesser offenders of the visual senses:
Celestis + variants. Guh, wtf are those supposed to be? Well, at least one of them can live mostly cloaked... Probe + Cheetah. Almost endearingly clumsy-looking. Bantam. Wat. Bellicose. It's either angry or lolangry, but either way awkward. Osprey + Basilisk. Meh. Burst. Who ******* cares about this ship anyway, it's as boring visually as it is functionally. Caracal. Why is it a tripod? Avatar. I know it's too late to change the iconic Angry Mushroom that Is Angry, but seriously. It's a mushroom. Is that supposed to be a hint regarding the way some ship designs were conceived, happy shroom times at the devs'? |

Also, I like how most of the ships mentioned in this thread are absent from the current list of ships in the ship viewer on the new website. Don't want the impressionable potential customers to see those, right? Instead wait until they train up to use these ships, board them for the first time and proceed to dip their eyeballs in lye.
ninjaedit: yes, other good ships are absent as well, WTF is up with that anyway. But there are far more good ships present than bad ships, and bad ships seem to be mostly in the frigate and cruiser classes. |

It might be a mushroom but it's the best looking titan.
The Minmatar one being the worst but only just. |

I always thought that when constructing it they changed the guy in chanrge of building it from time to time and the new guy always starter to build the hull according to their own design. The end result is a ship, that looks like it's ducttaped together from the pieces of several different ships and juryrigged to make it spaceworthy. |

Indeed a lot of Minmatar models are in desperate need of an update.
Tempest, while i love the ship i always hated the looks, i remember back in 2003 when there was no preview and Battleships were just introduced from that small icon i could not figure out how it'd look and while saving up iskies to buy one i thought there is some sort of space construction array wrapped around the ship image.
Damn was i shocked when i eventually learned that the ship actually was that construction array with a duct-taped warp drive on it.
Also the Ragnarok, while i have no intention getting my char into a supercapital character coffin. That ship model is a disgrace.
Remember the final episode of BSG when the Galactica folded on exiting FTL ? Even the folded Galactica looked cooler.
And please stop glueing tons of solar panels around minmatar ships for no reason and give them properly secured cockpits that are integrated into the hull instead of putting the cockpits on weird flimsy poles that stick out from random positions.

All the Minmatar ships except the Shuttle, Probe/Cheetah (but lose those daft sails), Typhoon (their only decent-looking BS), BCs and industrials. Chuck all those stupid-looking sails in the recycle bin.
Caldari are fine.
Amarr are ok except that the Harbinger looks like it should have wheels.
Imicus/Helios, Maulus/Keres.
Turn the Mymidon onto its side, like the Catalyst.
BUT - above all else, ditch that hideous Tristan. Looks like a giant mech warrior. I can't imagine what illicit substances the designers were on when they came up with that. |

Well yeah, they have to make it look minmatar somehow!
I like most of the Amarr ships, prophecy is very nice. The "new" symmetrical condor I don't like at all, it loses all its flair, normally I do not comment on other races ships, but the condor is quite dear to my hart since I flew in during beta and even produced some of them. So no symmetrical new Condor, booh!.
Edit: I guess the crucifer is the one ship that I would allow a rework off, I did enjoy to fly it in the olden days but it doesn't really look the part and perhaps the harbringer.
Personally I'd ver much prefer it if modules fitted on a ship would be distinguishable and thus changing its shape somewhat like pods and aerials on fighter/bomber planes in present day. - [img]http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/janus/ceosig.jpg[/img] [yellow]English only please.

my list of ships needing complete make overs.
1. Typhoon/panther - this needs a totally new model + textures 2. all 4 noobships need a new model + textures it might entice more noobs to stay with the game. 3. caracal/cerberus - its just looks plain silly and needs a new model + textures 4. all 5 versions of the iteron - they just look like dildos - completely new model + textures 5. catalyst/eris - it looks like an old wwII bomber missing a wing and its tail - new model + textures 6. imicus/helios - what the hell was that modeller thinking? - new model + textures 7. moa/eagle/onyx - needs a new model + textures 8. Aeon - it look half finished - fix the model 9. osprey/bassilisk - looks like a turkey - new model + textures needed 10. bantam - another ugly frig Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs. |

Nooooooooooooooo
your opinion is terribly wrong on all accounts!
Maulus/Keres is one of the coolest frig hulls, it looks menacing with that robotic "eye", very nice design overall.
Even suggesting touching the Holy Verticality is a crime under Federal law and you have just became K.O.S. in Gallente space
Tristan : ( you must be trolling.

edit:
I love the tempest, but by turning it onto the side it would also look much more awesome -.- |

Like Minnie and Amarr ships get the new, improved textures like Gal and Caldari already have. |

As a Gallente underwear model, I tend to be pretty shallow about what ships I'll be seen in while cruising the space lanes. Just wanted to provide full disclosure before I list a bunch of hulls I don't fly.
- Griffin
- Moa
- Imicus
- Dominix
- Burst
- Tempest
Don't fly Amarr of faction ships larger than frigates, so no comment there. Although, every ship with space camo needs a makeover, IMO. |
