I the Moa's ugliness to blind my opponents, and gain a tactical advantage (similar effect to ECM).

If ccp wanted to remodel the moa/eagle, it would have be done with the trinity graphic update.
So it looks like we're stuck with the monstrosity.
I still think its the dumbest looking ship i've seen in any game nevermind eve. --------------------------------- There's a simple solution to every problem. It is always invariably wrong |

The only pretty ships Caldari have are the Rokh and the Drake.
Get those, be happy.

Have you ever seen a picture of an actual Moa?
Linkage
It was a large flightless bird native to New Zealand before the went extinct several centuries ago. It was big, didn't have any wings, had a long, curved neck, and was kinda fugly looking. So if you remodel the Moa, you need to change its name too because it matches it's namesake very well. -------------------- "I am hard pressed on my right; my centre is giving way; situation excellent; I am attacking." - Ferdinand Foch at the Battle of the Marne |

Doesn't look like a Eagle, then. Ever seen a hurricane? Doesn't look like the Minmatar BC. How about a Blackbird? Or a ... --

I love the Moa, Eagle, Gila, and Onyx model.
I think it's one of the better Caldari Designs tbh. It captures the utility and necessity of a war-driven race. Makes the Raven look like a dog ****ing a camel in comparison.
Just my opinion. Everyone has theirs.

And do that to blackbird, rook and falcon while you're at it.
Right now Rook and Falcon are imbalanced in their performance, former one being a falcon with more launchers. Which is totally fine, it isn't like one has to use missiles that much when flying one, but rook's inability to fit a covops cloak to mask its ugliness makes it a rather unattractive(pardon the pun) alternative to falcon.
So yes, do that, or introduce some sort of anti-ugliness rigs that would decrease the ugliness factor of a given ship by making it more shiny and adding some spoilers or something. Yes, that'd be awesome. That would solve a lot of problems without making any permanent changes to ships. ----- My views reflect those of my corp completely and entirely. My corpmates will gladly go to war over my forum antics. |

Edited by: Serin Shadowstalker on 19/02/2008 22:01:10 I hated it at first, its grown on me though. With trinity out, I dig it.
Onyx
I like the new blackbird as well, though it could use some spikes.

Dude, did it ever occur to you to think laterally and ask 'What is a Moa?'
No!
Well take a look here and enlighten yourself on what a Moa actually is then you may see the actual resemblance in the design.
Also read this for the Cerberus.
Once finished read this for the Ferox (top sentence).
Then go on and read this for the Heron.
A pattern emerges from the naming of the ships in EVE and it seems that the Caldari race have names that are associated with animals, birds predominantly, so you can now fully understand why the Eagle looks and behaves the way it does.
Thanks

Not to be a **** or anything, but I think we are all very well aware of the naming schemes CCP follows bud. Also, I don't know why you brought this up, since we are discussing the ugliness of the ship, not whether it resembles a bird. Also, eagles do not move slow as hell and shoot railguns from extreme ranges  --

i always thought that the ferox looked like a space centipede or*****roach to be honest.
oh and the moa is quite hideous but it has its fans,
the blackbird is a big WTF though when i looked at the picture i thought my ship was flying sideways. fat bit at the front please XD -------------------------------------------------- Thats Boot.ini, a boot file, commonly deployed by windows |

I always thought the Ferox was the best looking caldari ship. Moa isn't that bad either to be honest.

Don't touch my Moa!

Moa fits its name.
Well, the Eagle does too...

Eagles are also known for their keen eyesight... and iirc the Eagle is a cruiser sized ship that can reach the furthest range of its class. :P So it's not all looks based.

The moa is nice because it looks so "solid" as with most caldari ships.
Onyx is really nice looking. :]

The thorax model needs more help than the moa model. Heck, so do the models for the kestrel, raven, blackbird, rupture, scythe, stabber, and so on. ____________________
