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like Ghost Yards full of WWII / Cold War Destroyers, Submarines, Cruisers and Fighter Planes, Bombers, Transport these outdated Ships have been sitting frozen in Space striped of Power, Weapons, Technology in pristine conditions.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.
You should write some fan fiction for the Eve site! I'm pretty sure anyone can contribute.
As for my favorite ships, I'd have to say Hyperion, Megathron, Dominix, Maelstrom, Abaddon, Rokh, Widow, Vigilant. |

Funny you should mention that. I am pretty sure I will get around to it soon.
I already started on the first chapter. It is about an Ammatar Capsuleer who has joined the 22nd Imperial Crusade. He is just learning that he is effectively Immortal after an accident and struggles to cope with his new identity now that he can look like anyone and do anything with little consequences. Everything he was is now changeable in a World with no rules and being a member of the Crusade is his connection to his home land. With a broader view come struggles with his Faith at the treatment of the Minmatar he fights and whose ancestry he shares while playing War and Politics on a grander scale then he could imagine as a simple kid from a backwater region.
He encounters Piracy, Drones, Null Sec Politics and the General hustle of a now completely open Universe he has just discovered. I really want to get into the idea him loosing himself and who he because who would be the same after the Money, Power and Immortality of Capsuleer life. How do you hold on to what is important in a strict Religious upbringing when you become the God.
When I make headway I will EVE Mail you a link to it. I have some pretty cool Ship Fights for all your Pew Pew needs gamed out as well. I hope I do well with this, it is the first thing I have planned to write. It is going to be above 40k Words and at least 12 Chapters so light novel length. |

The hyperion.
One big ***** tipped with blasters on either end, and if you look at it directly it looks like a beautiful gothic cross of your coming end.
And the Thorax.
To sate both phallic implications, and it just says 'cruiser' to me, a streamlined ship with blasters and speed combinations. Win win.
Not to mention the thorax was what got me into this game, and the hyperion being the first ship i've ever seen ingame out of the station dock. |

For me the best is the Nighthawk.
The Megathron looks like a real Battleship. Many frigate hulls have great shapes: Merlin, Incursus, Punisher, Maulus, and the Rifter. While the fatman of eve looks like a robot ..

I hate them and I love them: Caldari ships. Even in moments when I should really fly other stuff to have 'the best tool for the job' I have this irrational tendency to pick a Caldari hull.
They are dark, subtle and cool. Especially after V3 - all T1 hulls look much darker and less light grey now. I really like how Caldari ships almost disappear in a dark area of space.
Unfortunately I don't really like almost all T2 variants. Kaalakiota is ok (was better before!) but Ishukone and Lai Dai are way too golden and shiny imho  |

No correction needed. Back then it was the only Tech 1 Battleship that currently existed so you can not really compare it to the others. What is more the For a Multirole Warship I would say they probably considered its Armor more then sufficient.
What is more it has the exact same amount Armor as the current Typhoon only being beaten out by the Armageddon which as stated did not exist.

Just had to say how much I hate the look of the Thrasher because I know everyone cares about my opinion. It looks like a damned fish to me, especially when it's doing ****** bumpy fishtailing around acceleration gates that it shouldn't be bumping into on warp in, but this has been a feature for as long as I remember, so I guess it's working as intended. I like when my ships look like broken shopping carts, not when they handle like it. Otherwise, completely dig the rust bucket Minmatar aesthetic. Props to the Machariel designer for fusing the Gallente dual hull theme with the "we finish fights, not ships" Minmatar theme. |

Best looking ship in the game eh? Hmm that's a hard one... My choice will get a lot of WTF? replies. I LOVED the pre-raphics update version of the AEON super carrier. The new one is still nice, but the old one had working searchlights, a lit up control tower, and a force field over the hanger bay doors. And with the runway lights, it just looked like a giant airport in space.
New one is still ok'ish, just not as detailed as it once was. |

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. Interestingly enough, the standard scout ship in the Traveller RPG also had the wedge design. I think it was something in the air in the late '70's.
Given the time involved in getting a game laid out and to press I'm pretty sure neither source influenced the other on the initial releases. |

1. Talos. It's like a pure-blood racing spaceship full of masculine force and efficiency. Perfect match for it's purpose in game.
2. Hyperion. Easily the most perfect battleship hull, sleek, deadly and huge. Unfortunately stats-wise it has some issues limiting it's utility in game.
3. Megathron. Close second to the Hype, a true classic of EVE. Like Talos, it looks like it flies.

I actually like the looks of the Thrasher for the same reason you hate it. 
For me, the best looking ship has always been the Magnate/Anathema though. I'd also like to throw in that most ships are ugly (no matter what race), and that all races have their brief, golden moments when it comes to designing aesthetically good looking vessels. Other favorites of mine are Megathron (all variants), Rokh, all freighters, Atron (all variants) and Coercer.
Cruisers are generally the class where I'm having trouble finding any good looking ships at all.
The definite winner though, is an NPC ship: The Roden Police Major. That's one beast of a ship.

Of all the ships I currently own 2 stand out, My Rokh and my Hookbil. Nothing I've flown comes close to those two in pure sexy looks.
Of ships I haven't flown yet but plan to, I'd say the Vargur, Naga and Loki looks the most sexy.
Ships I never plan on flying (probably) but still looks awesome would be Legion and Abaddon and Navy Scorp.

There is one ship that, in its class, has the most undeniably formidable, tough and predatory aspect. It just seems to foam at the mouth with aggression while staring at your nuts. It has the name, the looks, and the attitude.
And it backs all that up with damn near half a million EHP from a T2 fit and one implant...
Damnation.

Dont ask me why, i dont know, but i love the Typhoon hull. Its just the imbodyment of Minmitar with its, "so it works..." look, and serious amount of rust.
