Cant say tell they are actually finished. I could rate the shapes though. They are all smoother, rounder, kinder. Impairor is sleek and simple. Ibis is the caldari version of the consumer Hummer, "fly your own real military craft with the new I3". Velator is still gallente art. I'd also approve of the Reapers shapes involved... but it's a staggered miss-sized mess.
Its like the minmatars still cant build for themselves and just make a ship from 3 other ships rather than 3 parts of the same ship duct taped together. |

Why oh why is it soo staggered. Their engineers cant draw a straight line? |

Looking closer on SISI, at least I worked out that if could be drastically saved. Place a plane of symmetry down the centre of the fuselage, delete the starboard confusion and reflect the port side to make a symmetrical ship. This would become one of the best design in the game. Any 3D artists want to try? 
You mean like this? |

I'm pretty darn sure Minmatar have a lot more than two asymmetric ship hulls; the Typhoon, Tempest and even the Tornado are asymmetric to some extent; in fact, it's hard to think of any really symmetric ships in the matari lineup besides maybe the Hurricane or Rifter!.
I'll give you the Tempest flat out. I tend to just think of it as a vertical hull. And if you want to argue symmetry to a pure degree, nothing in eve tends to be symmetrical. Lighting or texture is usually different somehow. Yet when the vast majority of the hull is mirrored and carries its weight evenly. I pretty much call that symmetrical.
Yet its not just having the same parts on either side,
Typhoon its pretty asymmetrical, but has a lot of bulk in its main barrel shape, but its doo-dads are pretty evenly weighted at a 45 degree plane between the front and the rear.
How about some more pure symmetrical base hulls, lets say like 95% hull mirrored, random bridge neck is negligible.

The Reaper looks a lot better from the angle you captured it at than the angle in the blog provided, counts as acceptable to me.
*sigh* yes... It is better, A lot better really. My predefined practicality ocd just melted at the random struts more so than any ship before it. Maybe because its so clean and easy to read whats going on with the design. |
