          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?

          I think gallente ships are the best looking in game but some minmater ships are nice plus they fast too.

          Rupture, Rifter, Stabber, Bellicose, Hurricane, Claw and their Variants are the only ones i find good looking. Anything higher than a battlecuiser is shit ugly.

          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.

          I love the looks of my rapier in both classic and premium and am sad over the loss of the vigil hull for the cheeta. Though after a while the new premium cheeta hull has kinda grown on me unlike that monstrosity the poor gallente got.  
  Oh and the minny dread is freakin' vertical, nuff' said.

          The Hel looks far better than the Nidhoggur, whose looks are a little too flimsy and unsophisticated for a ship its size. It's not bad, it just doesn't compare to its mommy's power.
  The Huginn is pretty much the epitome of Minmatar cruisers, with the Bellicose's rather neat hull, and adding two things; usefulness and a good color scheme.
  The Jaguar perfects the Rifter.
  The Hurricane is way too small to have that imposing power that its wedge-like shape should give, and its hindquarters are way too clumsy. Better go with the Cyclone then, or better yet the Sleipnir, for a brutal space-mace with speed and solar panels.
  The Tempest is royal crap. The Vargur however...
  A shield-tanking friend of mine flies a Maelstrom. In gang we all call it the 'Invulnerable Potato Peeler'.
  The rupture is a bulky, fast-welded piece of crap. Like something I'd expect from demented space-Mayans.
  The Naglfar is as unimpressive in looks as it is in performance.
  That you didn't mention the Thrasher made me despise you a little, though that was neutralized by your appreciation for the Bellicose.

          IMHO monst Minnie ships have a certain style but lack elegance - the style of the junkyard.
  Hurricane actually shows the background of the Minmatar - look at the pattern the engines make if you look at it dead astern - if you have trouble seeing it give it some spped). Mayans FTW... Not to mention the overall shape of the Hurricane is a old-style dagger with fins on it..the two big solar panels form the crossguard, the engines/bridge form the hilt, and the wedge forms the blade...wiht the tip snapped off.
 
  Rifter shouldn't even BE a minmatar frigate - from it's design it's clearly the kid brother of the Megathron...
  Rupture has a certain elegance as the Flying Brick.
  Stabber/Vagabond - vibrator-mobile.
  Thrasher is nice in a fish-shaped sense - at least the front part, with those solar panels remind me of gills... 
  Cyclone looks like a spiked mace. Really - add a couple of buttons and it'd look like a lightsaber hilt in one of George Lucas' more demented productions :)

          I'm still a big fan of the Probe and it's T2 sister the Cheetah (i was over the moon when i heard about the ship swap)
  While i do like the look of the Rupture, i feel it needs a "wingy bit" on top to finish that Ye olde Galleon style it has.

  The Hurricane is kinda nice, too.

          I like the Vigil and I liked the Cheetah  
  But actually, my favorite Matari ship (looks wise) is the Scythe for some reason.

  The Scythe was actually the first cruiser I bought... got it for LP no less. Gave it to a friend who promptly quit the game. Something about not being able to keep up to a friend's Thorax and my Moa. :P

          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

  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. ;-)

   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 :)

          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. --

          I almost don't want to say. The probe, of all things, was the ship that caused me to fall in love with minmatar ships. I think I would have preferred the probe get a different t2 role than cov-ops, but I'm one of a few who likes the cheetah model change.   __

          Edited by: Orakkus on 29/12/2008 00:19:14 I like some of them.. and I really prefer the reflective Zebra/Tiger stripe paint scheme.
  - Hurricane: Looks tough, and is tough. Its looks screams "Out for blood!" when it shows up on the battlefield.
  - Cyclone (Claymore, Sleipnir): Looks like a eerie combination of a locomotive, a haunted Japanese Pagoda, and an asian style dragon.
  - Rifter (Wolf, Jaguar): Looks like an X-Wing, only cooler.
  - Vigil (Hyena): Its a strangely pretty ship.
  - Fenrir: I dunno.. looks like something you'd see out of Stargate SG-1 ya know? Like some sort of evil troop transport slowly going to a doomed planet, ready to unleash hordes of hell.
  - Naglfar: Personally, I think all the Minmatar ships should have followed this concept to some degree.. its not fat like the other races' Dreads.. it stands proud (Its FREAKIN' VERTICAL!) I just wish the fittings made more sense.
  - Vagabond: Looks cool, and sexy.

          The Hurricane makes me want to train Minmatar every time I look at it, and I am a fan of the Nag. Maelstrom I kinda like as well; surprisingly sleek/modern looking for a Minmatar ship

          Hurricane - I tend to stare at it in the hangar for a minute or so after I've grabbed something to do, what an awesome piece of design. Whoever did that thing deserves a reward, there's something absolutely right about it. Goddamn why is there no T2 one, and why isn't it the size of a battleship.
  Rifter is great, looks like something off Transformers ( from the top ), Slasher is kinda like something escaped from Mad Max or something of that ilk & has charm, the other frigs are... troubled :P
  Stabber hull looks like it's doing 10 million kmh standing still, if it wasn't for the half-finished back end it'd be pretty perfect too.
  All the BS have something about them, even if the Phoon looks like a tunnel digging machine. Just like most of the Matari ships they look *different*, rather than the somewhat traditional designs of the other races, I think that's a lot of the attraction.
  Anyone think a Rohk was designed by a matari who had access to proper materials? :) really not very Caldari, that thing.

          I can't believe no one's linked these yet. Minmatar ship pics (I didn't make these found them some time ago on forums.
  Back of topic I like the look of the typhoon (trashcan of doom), probe, both bcs, and the cap ships.
  I'm mixed on the tempest. I like the wingy bits, but I don't like the "speaker" on the right side.

  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

          Those aren't solar panels on matari ships, those are heat radiating cooling fins. The background lore has matari ships powered by nuclear fission reactors and I assume a steam cycle to extract power thermodynamically. Steam would explain the presence of rust in space and the need to cool the working fluid with those fins.
  In a sci-fi internet spaceship game, nuclear fission and steam is a delightfully retro and "crude but effective" technology that suits the matar perfectly.

          while reading revelation space the "Nostalgia for Infinity" and other lighthugger seemed very minmatar to me.
  The Nostalgia is helf together by thousands of repair jobs, but some levels are completely corroded, damaged or flooded. While mainting this appearance its firepoweris lethal. I imagined the whole thing is sutle rust colours.
  Yes, i love the appearance of almost all minmatar ships. I also love the enitre aesthetic of them.

          Too bad there's not more love for the Typhoon out there. It's probably my favorite hull in the game. I just wish that when you launched drones they visibly flew out of the Phoon's maw.

          I like the Typhoon very much. Even tho it looks like it was made out of a giant sewage pipe (it probably is), it has some awesomeness to it.
  I also like the Fenrir, which clearly is the flying equivalent of the scrap collecting sand guys' vehicle from star wars.
  And of course Hel and Naglfar are pretty cool, too. Forsch Defender of the empire
