Why is everything Caldari so ugly? The ships look like junk and their stations?
Are they supposed to be the vandals of the future or something?
Just seems with only 4 major races to choose from, why have only 3 that have some asthetic appeal?

The Caldari favor function over form. We Gallente widely regard this as a bad move. That is why we kicked them out of our system.

Caldari have the most advanced technology of the races (according to lore). Besides, have you seen Minmatar ships and stations? The old joke was that a key construction component for their ships was this. -------------------------------- CCP can patch away bugs, but they can't patch away stupidity. |

I don't find hardly any of the Caldari ships ugly. Matter of fact, it is the style of the ships that made me want to fly them. They are not symmetrical from bow to stern which makes them very unique to look at.

Come now, there are plenty of Caldari ships that aren't Moas or non-premium Ravens.
Gallenteans, on the other hand, will never be able to shake off the shame that is the Exequror-hulls, Dominix-hulls, Moros, Celestis-hulls.

They have betrayed aesthetics for functionality.
However I really like the Falcon, color texture and form, and sometimes don't want to leave it. Ravens are ok looking and I got used to the crow and merlin hulls. But anything with caracal/moa hull and all the drakes deserve to be put out of their misery as soon as you see them

The reason for their ships unique appearance is becouse of caldari shipyard security. Caldari ship building is so secret, no member of the design teem, for any one ship, knows what anyone else on that teem is doing.

Originally by: Karille The Caldari favor function over form.
That argument might hold some merit if the Caldari ships were actually better (or more "functional") than any other race... Generally speaking Caldari ships have slightly better shield systems and typically in exchange for other trade offs, such as speed and armor. I fully realize that Caldari ships can't really be better than other race ships for balancing reasons. However, using an excuse like "they were designed to be functional while ignoring aesthetics" is somewhat meaningless when other races are clearly capable of achieving both. If anything I would expect Amarr ships to be ugly as hell with their emphasis on armor tanking - even if you operate under the assumption that they would look pretty coming out of the shipyard, they definitely wouldn't stay that way for very long.
Anyways, I don't think most Caldari ships are necessarily what I would call ugly. However, I believe you would be hard pressed to find someone that doesn't think at least 1 Caldari ship got hit repeatedly with the ugly stick during its design phase. Probably the biggest problem with Caldari ships, in my opinion, is the lack of symmetry and seemingly pointless way in which some of the ships were assembled. Take the Moa for example - from both a functional and aesthetic standpoint, it really makes very little sense to have that thin arm and giant panel sticking off the side. Aesthetically, it looks like a mad scientist welded it together for no apparent reason. Functionally, this design choice would provide an extremely vulnerable target in combat - once your shields are down, a single well placed shot could effectively sever any systems in the arm from the rest of the ship and cause severe structural damage that would need a little more than an armor repairer to fix.

Rubbish, the Nebulon is Amarr, just look at the irregular plates on the side and half finished design. Just like the Apoc.
I must say I do like the Daedelus BC-304, that reminds me slightly of the BSG with wider landing bays. That design really looks like a carrier.
