Misanth was created and train Amarr just because their ships look great.. no need to touch them. Well, the Maller looks pretty poo but who'd fly that one anyway. 
Archon looks better in classic than premium tho, could use a bit of a rework, preferably towards the Aeon-look, and the Aeon would look great in black.. but that'd just be a bonus.

Out of Minmatar (which I mostly fly) ships, my gripes with ship aesthetics:
- The Slasher and the T2 hulls are horribly, incredibly, totally ugly. I gave up on Minmatar interceptors just because looking at them for longer then 1 minute made me want to self destruct.
- I find the Stabber / Stabber derivatives to be fairly ugly. Yes to the whole pointy image, but the actual design with asymmetric engines and the front end of it annoys me.
- The Bellicose and its derivatives are a bit meh, but passable.
- Sleipnir needs to use the extremely sexy Hurricane hull. Seriously, Brutor tribe paint + the sexiest T1 hull in game would create a ship which you'd want to fly even if it was gimped and not worth the ISK.  Cyclone hull is passable, but I'm not a big fan of it.
- Typhoon could use the asymmetric engine bit, else it's nice... also, the whole engine part could be enlargened a bit.
- I don't like the Tempest, I just don't.
However, Minmatar has some of the sexiest hulls around - Rifter and its derivatives are awesome, Hurricane is extremely beautiful, Maelstorm is quite beautiful too, Rupture is preety after you get used to it (it looks like a blob of rust, but it really does grow on you after a while). Even the cargo frigate looks extremely Minmatar-ish, like a box with sails and engines.

Ships are fine (mostly). I can't believe people don't like Amarr, they are the sexiest race with greatest consistency (apart from a few). Move the turrets on my Megathron into the long banks with rounded edges that were clearly intended to house the guns, CCP got it right at the back but at the front they decided to change their mind? Does it really matter if the ship won't have complete field of fire.
But seriously, the Dominix, we know those Caldari and Minmatar freaks clearly have no vision / care for aesthetics, but the Gallente care about how their ships look, this much is obvious, so why when they came to the Dominix did they drop all that with a big 'meh'.

Anyone know what sort of software does CCP use to model / texture the ships in eve?
Maybe we can get a contest going for user designs and have CCP just copy / paste?

The minmatar slasher/claw/stiletto looks like a cross between a vulture and a dragonfly. This is the worst looking ship in eve.

Scorpion, Moa, Blackbird, Raven and all their iterations. I don't want them to be perfectly symmetrical, but they should at least look as if they could fly in a streight line.

Helios needs attention first. Just make it the old model, and swap the Imicus and Maulus roles.

Just half the Caldari ships need a rework...

I see what you did there.

The entire Amarr race minus the Battlecruisers would be a good start. 
Minus the Executioner, Coercer, Punisher, Omen, Armageddon, Apocalypse, Abbadon and Arbitrator?
And the T2/faction variants of those ships, of course.

hmmm... I'm pretty sure I like every single model.. all of them,
/cry about it nubs! they all grow on you.. the Tempest would even grow on you if it still had utility to back up it's utilitarian looks.
Some ships are sorta ugly, but I like them that way, and so should you.. the Vagabond looks like what you would think a crazy speed-whoring tribe like the Thukkers would make. The scorpion.. is actually an awesomely designed ship... all you who say symmetry.. obviously don't know the first thing about Aesthetics.

symmetry don't much matter to me, Van, but. . .have you ever actually flown a Moa? the Steel Battlechicken of the Caldari Armada? the chrome-plated rooster?
this, if anything, needs a remodel. and someone had some nice organic models for the Domi that i really liked, a while ago.

I think that with our eyes they are ment to be ugly. When you think about in a historic way wouldn't it be naive out in the extreme to think that we would share same opinion on beuty as those who created the ships i mean apart from we are being ancient history the races hav resetled in a diffrent place and evolved diffrent cultures. The diffrent races also had to adept to a entirely different enviroment so we can probally asume that evolution also have a big say in how they think. Anyway thats just my thoughts + im bored.
Keep away from the Moa the disharmony makes it look otherworldly and a bit demonic really.... An infernal turkey from the lower planes

I actually like how the Caldari ships look, everyone of them except the Raven. I fly Minmatar only and the ships I'm a little meh over are:
Bellicose
Rupture
The Typhoon with a hole in its front instead of that pile of metal would be awesome too.

No. it looks like the ******ed cousin to any poultry bird available: small head, sloped forehead, deformed limbs, always trying to fit in with the other birds and tragically failing.

Of the ships I actually fly and care about:
1) Helios. Dear god CCP, what did this poor innocent ship ever do to you? WTF were you smoking when you decided to change it to the Imicus hull? Put it back to the old model.
2) Scorpion. I have trained the skills for a Widow. I can not stand the thought of actually flying it, because it's just too ugly to look at (oh, and it needs a fuel bay, but that's a different issue...).
3) Falcon (new graphics). The old Blackbird hull was just bizarre, but I eventually came to like it. The new one, however, completely destroys any aesthetic value the old version ever had.
4) Nighthawk. It's black, not dark gray. BLACK. You got this right with the Khanid ships, so learn something from them.
5) Kestrel (new version). The engine pods just suck. Put them back to the old shape.
6) Chimera. It's too big. The old Chimera model (the one that was smaller than most battleships) was awesome. Please un-nerf the Chimera's size and give me back my toy carrier.
And I think I must be the only person who actually likes the Moa hull. It's ugly, but that ship has personality. Compare that to the Scorpion, where the only thought it brings to mind is "can I have some of what you were smoking?".

While we're at it:
The Nighthawk should be based off the Drake (one of the most bad-ass looking ships in game: It serves the role it exactly looks like - A tough missile chucking monster).
The Nighthawk and Drake are both missile boats. The Ferox and Vulture are gunboats. Make the Command Ship models correspond to their proper BC hull type.
You make the Nighthawk into a black Drake with red stripes, I might never fly any other sub-cap ship again!

The harbinger has an ok shape, but the surface looks really rough, it feels like crap quality texturing. I'm happy with most other ships.

As I have often pointed out, the Raven looks like the combination of some surgical implement of an oncologist's or a dentist's, and a tank engine. Not pretty. Similarly, the Caracal is a not-so-amusing mix of a vacuum cleaner and a canvas stand.
The Dominix stands out as far as space turds go, mostly because the Gallente happen to have the ugliest ships of all. The Lachesis easily nabs second place.
The Amarr can be faulted for many of their aggressive bananas, but it is only the Prophecy that combines being useless and looking like a chicken. On the Cruiser side, the Omen needs a revision of its engines. Not much more can be said.
The minmatar have some spectacularly ugly Cruisers overall, but the Scythe stands out as the worst of the lot. And can somebody please modify the Hound just a little, at least?
