Has to be the Armageddon.
I mean, it's just...FLYING GOLDEN P E N I S OF GOD COME TO DELIVER FIERY DOOMS...ya know?
The OLD matte black Nighthawk was amazing too, now it's just a dark grey meh with stripes that don't match up with the surface contours/details.  Annoying really.

That's more or less true for most Amarrian ships.
Apparently, they have yet to learn to appreciate simple beauty provided by "flying grey brick" aesthetics. |

For me it's the Megathron. Seeing a picture of it basically made me start playing eve. It's like an old school corvette stingray of spaceship facemelting beauty. |

I too enjoy the Maga immensely. It looks mean and the first time I saw a Mega close with an outlaw skull on it I thought wow that is a mean looking ship. 30 seconds later that fact was confirmed. Double Hull Designs are always sexy and the Conning Tower is just the Icing on the Cake. Top it off with the Double Ram Front and damn.
I love the simplistic design of the Geddon. Rounded Hammerhead front, tubular body with a near engine block with big Guns positioned laterally as well as along the top forward and near underbelly. Large Space Fighter Bay, Big Ship Smashing Guns a Ton of Armor and lots of Tiny Windows + Command Bridge. It has all the most classic elements of your common Sci Fi Space Battleship except it is bright gold. It comes in Grey with Jet Black Streaks to for a little extra.
My favorite is the raven though. Giant Bird of Prey that spews Missiles has held a lot of joy for me. She is a little ugly and I hate that stubby wing (Wish it were a tiny bit closer to its counter part.) but the industrial design covered in Antenna's with a modular Bridge is pretty cool. Finally I like that it is small. It doesn't need a large mass it has Heavy Shields for defense and Compact Torpedo Launchers that Smash Ships up. Everything about it screams small High Tech killing Platform, it is a Pocket Battleship.
I actually like every Battleship in EVE. A few more then others but the ones people tend to hate I find interesting especially in their Backstory and why they are made the way they are. The Dominix is an especially appropriate design. |

Armageddon.
It is perfectly what its supposed to be .... Golden rod from the heavens ... showing the way for the true believers and burning the heretics with its righteous beams of light.
Obviously its not the only awesome looking ship but if you must select only 1 ... I have to select the armageddon ! |

If I had to select ONE? Gah, I couldn't.
Best looking BS- Navy Geddon or Abaddon with a lot of runner ups (Megathron, Rokh, Maelstrom)
Best looking BC- Naga
Best looking Cruiser (not Tech3)- Arbitrator
Best looking Frig - Firefly or Hookbill |

No love for the Providence?
Personally though, I think the best looking ship was the old Helios, when it was a Creodron themed Maulus. That looked brilliant. |

I would call the Star Destroyer a rather unique design. Their wasn't much like that before and the Triangle Wedge hasn't really been that prominent in the majority of non Star Wars media.
It is definitely more popular now then but your average Space Warship usually has a cylindrical, hexagonal or rectangular design to it. Their is no defined way with saucers, triangles, rectangles, wings and ovals but the long space rod full of guns model usually seems to be the basic design for a stock space warship especially in novels.

When I joined EVE a year ago, all my favourite ships were Gallente. This began to change over time though. Today there are quite a few, very different looks that I like.
But no doubt, the two hulls I like best are the Navy Geddon and the Navy Omen. Having to choose between them would be tough. I guess the Navy Geddon would make it eventually, if I'd really have to decide. |

Frigate: Tristan
Looks like a Flying Japanese Fighting Robot. I was severely disappointed when I discovered that it can't fly up to other ships and punch them.
Destroyer: Thrasher
Looks like the ideal patrol ship with it's spotlight and I like how it's the only symmetrical destroyer
Cruiser: Omen
It just looks amazing overall. The appendage on one side makes it even better as without it the ship seems incomplete but with both on each side it just looks bulky and unbalanced.
T3 Cruiser: Tengu
I just love the sleek smooth surfaces on this thing. Paired with the slopes on the side (and front with CPU) make it look like it can take a hit too as it reminds me of sloped armor on tanks.
Battlecruiser: Hurricane
Looks like a Star Destroyer only with solar panels and the small amount of windows make it look ready for battle
Battleship: Megathron
Looks like a spaceship right out of the 50s.
Carrier: Chimera
Intimidating and cool looking.
Super Carrier: Nyx
Now this looks like an actual carrier! With the runway down the center and it's shape in general makes it look like it's ready for more than just launching ships.
Dreadnaught:
Revelation only because the others look terrible
Titan: Leviathan
The Avatar looks like a mushroom, the Erebus looks like it's flying backwards, and the Ragnorak just looks like a hodgepodge of random ship parts. So by default the Leviathan wins.

Oh yeah, and there IS a Domi variant that I would actually be glad to own and fly and constantly admire:
That Domi Rogue Drone thingwith the rustling insect legs underneath. Gave me the creeps, the good creeps though!

I like the choice of the Dominix as the drone Battleship. The Dominix has been around for hundreds of years since the Cal / Gal War that split the Federation. It is still being manufactured and older models upgraded to meet new technology.
You can just imagine that over the Centuries so many of them have probably been decommissioned and like Ghost Yards full of WWII / Cold War Destroyers, Submarines, Cruisers and Fighter Planes, Bombers, Transport these outdated Ships have been sitting frozen in Space striped of Power, Weapons, Technology in pristine conditions. Sitting in scrap yard by the thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions by the number of ships seen in this game just abandoned. In the Rogue Drone Storyline Missions that tell their origins the original Experiment Model was an old Dominix.
I used to imagine that not only do they build their own Dominix Models but that they may have early on raided Scrap Yards and Backwater Military Facilities infesting and stealing them in massive quantities giving the Drones the power to fend off the initial Gallente counter attacks. Just adding Sensors, Engines, Shields and Weapons to bring them up to basic standards forgoing EWAR and Repair present on most other NPC Ships. Meanwhile using Scrap Medal and Salvage to construct a fleet of Smaller Cruiser and Frigates in their cobbled together Drone Hives.
I really think that the Dominix was a very well thought out choice. Props to the Dev who came up with it. |

Dominix looks kind of like someone was inspired by the hull of a galleon out of the 1600s. It's as if one of those hulls was modified by cutting out the middle and sticking together the front and rear. Not my favorite looking ship, but it's quite the original.

I like it because most of the other Ships in EVE are streamlined to a singular role. The Dominix looks like and is shown in the Stats to seem like anything but. A good sized array of weapons, a large fighter bay, thick Armor, lows and mids for multirole from EWAR, Tackle, Damage, Drone Module Support, Neutralizers, Remote Reps and Drone Control Mods all give it a well deserved reputation as the Multirole Battleship. The more Bulky Design makes it seemingly capable of carrying Drop Ships and loads of Vehicles with lots of room for a ground contingent.
It seems like the kind of Main Line Warship that would be created and used by the Gallente Navy back when they were just starting out with a real Space Force and could not afford to fill fleets dedicated roles like Logistics, Damage, Drone Support, EWAR, Troop Transports, Bombardment Ships and so on. So they built one to handle all of that, a Battlestar if you would. Not caring about aesthetic over functionality, something a Big Space Whale with lots of room for everything you need in a big thick Armor Shell could handle. |

My absolute favourite ship in EvE is the Imperial Navy Omen. As others above have said for their reason(s) , it was the ship that brought me to this game. Love it, hope they don't ruin it with v3
A ship currently not in the game that would change that would be a Khanid Innovation Abaddon. It's been spoken about to death and always will be until CCP clue up and win back a lot of 'likes' by putting it in the game. |

I rather like the look of the Hyperion myself... I get the feeling I'm in the minority here, but it looks damned gorgeous. A ship that ever since I've first looked at Eve Online, I've dreamed of piloting...
...so of course I made an Amarr character instead. (Lasers seemed like a good idea at the time!)
