I like SOME minmitar ships. The Hurricane for example clearly indicates doom based on visual alone (It's a freakin barbed spearhead - and the barbs are the autocannons). Most minmatar ships however I am not a fan of.
Also, I hate vertical ships almost as much as I hate the horrid asymetric caldari ships.

you'll regret it. . .even if it looks good. Just plug numbers into EFT, and weigh it: 25% repping makes 1500 rep per cycle into 1850 at level 5 carrier. 25% resistance to armor reduces incoming damage by 25% flat out - and that adds up a LOT faster then slow capital repper cycles. . .The Niddy needs a buff - begining with returning the slot layout to what it was, and making the rep ammount 7.5% or even 10% per level. But thats perhaps too powerful. At 5%, its too low to really justify it.
I think all the races have their niche that make them really pleasureable to spin around in space. Minmatar have their fair share, but significantly less then other races. For the most part, I like Caldari and Amarr designs. . .but the Rapier is really sexy as is the Munin. ----

As a matar purist i tend to love all of the matar ships, but my favs are:
Vigil and rifter hull Stabber/Bellicose hull Cyclone/Hurricane hull Tempest/Phoon/Maelstrom hull Nag/niddy and Hel hull
Not a huge fan of the Rupture hull because for a ship that freaking awesome the design simply doesnt give it justice. Not a fan of the breacher either.....looks half-finished to me lol

Originally by: Gneeznow yeah but it looks really cool
See, that's the funny thing. I'm one of the Forums' foremost experts on what is "optimal". I know the problems with the Niddy... and I can go on at length listing dozens of reasons that it needs a boost and why it's the absolute worst carrier by a large margin.
I can do the same for the Nagl and Phoenix. And I'm training them anyway.
Why? Well, because I want to.
But Liang, you're the forum poster child of telling people not to do something inefficient!
Yeah yeah, I know. I'm mostly insistent on people knowing the score before they get into hot water. I know what I'm getting into... a pile o crap. ;-)
And that's ok. :)

Originally by: Abraxas Glyf The Hurricane for me is the sexiest ship in the game. It even has oars for the slaves to row when the cap is low Nid is awesome too.
The Rifter is my 2nd fave frigate (Kessie first), and the Maelstrom is gorgeous...kinda reminds me of that Egyptian wolf-headed deity (Anubis, I think it is).
Aside from those, Minmatar ships make me wretch when I look at them - with the worst offender being the Typhoon.
Anubis was a jackel headed Egyption God.
Wepwawet was the one with the wolf head.
EDIT: Minmatar ships that look good:
-Hurricane -Maelstrom -Rifter -Stabber -Bellicose -Sabre -Cyclone

I find both minmatar battlecruisers to be really nice looking. And the rifter has always had a certain style to it.
But other than that...
However, frankly, i think ALL races cruisers other than the arbitrator (and curse) are ugly looking, and i really cant think of a good looking battleship, some look better than others, but they all look 'wrong' somehow.
Really, the battlecruisers are the games best looking ships if you ask me. And of those i think minmatar win, because both of theirs look equally awesome. Other races tend to have one nice one and one uglier one.

I love the look on most minie ships.
My favorites are the Cyclone hull (looks like a freight train comming your way), the hurricane hull, the tempest hull (just looks mean) and the mael hull.
Also there is something about the breacher, looks old, rusty, just awesome :)

Can't believe no one has mentioned the premium graphics minmatar shuttle. Mammoth and Hoarder are also fairly cool ships......for industrial ships at least. --

Edited by: Cpt Branko on 07/10/2008 10:29:05 Personally, I love the Rifter / Thrasher / Rupture / Hurricane / Maelstrom hulls and derivatives.
I'm ok with Typhoon / Bellicose (and derivatives), as well - although they could use just a small bit of tweaking.
Stabber hulls and particularly the Minmatar interceptors are plain horrible.
Btw, we really need a T2 Hurricane with Hurricane hull and Sleipnir's paint scheme (and with a resist bonus instead of the horrible rep bonus). It would be the single sexiest ship in EvE

Apart from the cruiser(sized, include hac/recon etc)s I like minmatar ships. Awsome looking small/big ships.
Unfortunately my favourite ships to fly is the cruiser/bc-size, and then it's just one option out there.. Amarr.

I think that some of the ships look good, I'd take the Rupture and Tempest off your list, and add on the Slasher and Vigil.
The Slasher looks like an X-wing from hell.
I think the Amarr have the best looking ships by far. -------- Billy Jean is not my lover |

Originally by: Sila Fang Edited by: Sila Fang on 06/10/2008 20:22:42 Minmatar ship get a lot of slack for looking like floating junkyards, but i love the realistic easthetic, and some of the ships have a beautiful line to them. Sure some things (like the slasher) are ugly, but there are many examples of beatiful minmatar ships:
- Nidhoggur: in my opinion its the most beatiful carrier out there. It is gigantic sleek armoured monstrosity. It has an incredibly simple aesthetic with the 2 plates, and the birdge and the engines at the back top of it all really nicely.
- Huginn/rapier/bellicose: I know many people will disagree with me on this, but i really love its shape and ruggedness. It looks like something we might build sometime in the imment future, making it more poignant.
- Rifter: Has style. 'nuff said
- Hurricane: Similar to the hell, with the blade like fins along the side. Looks like amar minmatar synergy, with an extra topping of blade like style.
- Tempest: looks strong, brtual, and is if takes no abuse from anyone and fits in perfectl as a heavy hitting ship. Shame this apearance is so far from the truth.
- Mealstrom: Nice redesign of the minmatar fins concept, taking some of the hurricane style on board. Looks incredibly graceful in the revelations trailer at the beginning.
- Rupture: you come to love it. Garmonists will agree with me here i think.
- Naglfar: truly unique and stylish, its vertical for a start. Looks very nice in the empyrean age trailers.
Now, does anyone agree with me, or does everyone think the minmatar ships look like tey have blown up several times already?
The wingy bits on the minni ships I think look bad. They do nothing :P. Other then that minmatar has a realistic feel to them, in space nice curves and aerodynamic design serve no purpose at all. SO Caldari and minmatar are cool that way. Gallante got a fe wok ships, and Amarr have a few nice ones too.

Minmatar ships lack aesthetics and symmetry so they can't be called beautiful. They look rugged and beaten. Some may prefer such design for some x reason, but overall they are probably the ugliest ships in the game.

hurricane is just a 'sea monkey' version of the hel (Put it in water and it expands!) Man goes to the doc, with a strawberry growing out of his head. Doc says "I'll give you some cream to put on it." |

I think the hurricane is the best looking ship in the game. The rifter, Maelstrom, and stabber are good and the Rupture is growing on me. The vigil would be awesome if they tilted it 90 degrees. On the other side of the equation, the Phoon looks like a crawdad, and the probe looks like something built on Junkyard wars.

Yeah Minmatar do have some of the coolest ships in eve The Hyena looks great in trinity graphics and is the best looking frigate-sized ship imo. I feel sad about the cheetah being changed into a Probe model.
Minmatar cruisers are not the best but are ok. They did a great job on the new Scythe/Scimitar. The Broadsword is the best looking of the rupture class (blue lights like the Hyena) But I dont really like the co(kpits for the rupture class ships on the lower front... It just looks weird.
Minmatar Battlecruisers are just great... 'nuff said. (Claymore :D)
For battleships... just the Mealstrom.. and maybe the Panther.
Minmatar carrier and Big Momma are great. i'd love to see a fleet of Hel, Nidhoggur and Hurricanes + a lot of minmatar fighters
Also the Fenrir/Nomad is very nice..

I agree. That said I'm a minny pilot.
The Cyclone hull looks like a fish with a big head. But I love it.
Vaga's the best looking imo though. --
