Potrero Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2010.03.30 21:52:00 - [1] Oh Moa. How I loathe thee. You look like a metal chicken with a briefcase. So ridiculous that I feel silly just being in the same space youÆre in. Acknowledging you in combat is repugnant. The shame of losing to you, a reason to quit the game. And Tempest. You pile of ill-tempered scaffolding. Your appearance I accepted along with the Minmatar back-story. But then came the Hurricane and the Maelstrom. Now thereÆs just no excuse for you to be this ugly. My Typhoon. My favorite. How many hours have I stared at you in fleets and in missions? I feel like I deserve an award in compensation. You remind me of an ex-girlfriend. Difficult to handle but, when everything comes together, simply amazing. But she was much prettier than you are. Is there nothing you can do? And Rupture. I keep waiting for some peg-legged pirate captain to raise the Jolly Roger on your galley rump. If you insist on looking like this at least put a proper figurehead on the front. And, finally Domi: The severed human head of doom. Or maybe a track shoe. Who can say? The designerÆs reasoning is lost on us. So great a ship that to make you less goofy-looking might actually make you overpowered. IÆm willing to risk it. Ode to all you ugly, ugly ships. HereÆs hoping that new models, like the ones for the Scorpion, are already being worked out in CCP labs.
Barakkus Caelestis Iudicium	Posted - 2010.03.30 21:57:00 - [2] You forgot Maelstrom. That thing is really funny lookin... Ruptures are teh sex :P Tempests are ok too... I kinda like the Dominix :P Any Caldari ship though, they're all just god awful except the Commorant and the shuttle. Originally by: CCP Dropbear rofl edit: ah crap, dev account. Oh well, official rofl at you sir.

Veritaal Amarr Red Federation	Posted - 2010.03.30 22:41:00 - [8] I actually like the Gallente linup. The Moros and the Megathron are actually two of my favorite ship models! However... some ships should start a self destruct timer upon undocking - Moa - Tempest - Moa - Bantam - Moa - Vengeance ..... Why the Vengeance you ask? Because it is so sexy, the fact that it is stuck using roflkets is just an insult to the Amarr lineup.
Culmen Caldari Macabre Votum Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2010.03.30 22:48:00 - [9] Originally by: DDemon Originally by: AtlantisX Moros. It's a giant flying turd! I think its pretty. I named mine "Fat Bottomed Girl" It pretty much sums up the ship. Also the Blackbird/Rook/Falcon. None of those ships actually have ECM, it's just their so ugly, they make all the other ships close their eyes. and further more why do i even need a sig?
Jerid Verges Gallente The Society of Innovation The Last Stand	Posted - 2010.03.30 23:28:00 - [10] The Moros looks pretty cool! Better then the other Dreads. Revelation comes in 2nd. But alas, the Thantanos (sp?) looks like it was made by Minmatars. And the Imiscus, scratch that, all the Prober frigs look horrible.

Gneeznow Minmatar Ship spinners inc	Posted - 2010.03.30 23:32:00 - [11] and here I thought that the tempest and typhoon (well the old classic graphics typhoon before they shortened it considerably) were the best looking ships in the game
Aerilis Gallente Quantum Cats Syndicate	Posted - 2010.03.30 23:53:00 - [12] Pre-Trinity Eve artists should all be hung. They're finally getting it right, the newer ships look much smexier. And why oh WHY is the Revelation so thin? It's ridiculous. ------------------------------ [WTS] Dominix Navy Issues - 500M
Foraven Gallente	Posted - 2010.03.31 01:39:00 - [13] I find a lot of ships in EVE to be awful. I don't mind non symetric designs, but at least make it so ship don't look like so misshapen, with guns impractically distributed (sometimes shooting through the hull) and engines in odd places. I got used to most of them but would not cry if they got remade.

Garresh Minmatar Hole Patrol	Posted - 2010.03.31 03:41:00 - [19] Originally by: Potrero My Typhoon. My favorite. How many hours have I stared at you in fleets and in missions? I feel like I deserve an award in compensation. You remind me of an ex-girlfriend. Difficult to handle but, when everything comes together, simply amazing. But she was much prettier than you are. Is there nothing you can do? Take it back. She has a winning personality, and she's really beatiful on the inside. Besides, she has nice curves.
Silent Knight	Posted - 2010.03.31 05:48:00 - [20] I remember hearing the 2 philosophies of Caldari ship design long ago. 1st was that there are two designers for all Caldari ships. One for the left half, one for the right. These two designers are never allowed to meet & discuss ideas. 2nd is that they are scientifically engineered to make your eyes bleed. Forgot who said those first, but a tip of the hat to you.

Edenn Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.03.31 05:56:00 - [21] Osprey Moa Blackbird are obviously the ugliest ships that should be fixed 1st. IMO Raven is ugly too. Anyways those 3 are the top that makes most of the people want to cry 123
Anita Too	Posted - 2010.03.31 06:08:00 - [22] Osprey = Giant turkey drumstick. Moa = Short sausage (**tail?) with huge nuts. Caracal = Long thin crooked sausage with tiny nuts. (but acceptable looking) Blackbird = Break-away station module. Raven = Okayish but that protruded thingy in front makes it look ready to.... dock. Dominix = Pile of... stuff. Condor = Weird looking skewed "wings" c/w ready to eject **pit
Kharylien Gallente Blackcog Incorporated	Posted - 2010.03.31 06:19:00 - [23] I think of the Domi as looking like a sackful of knuckles. Ready to punch you in the face if you're what I'm fighting. I can roll with it.
silentalleycat	Posted - 2010.03.31 06:30:00 - [24] You got it all wrong, the winner of most ugly ship in EVE is the OBELISK aka the green blob aka Flying shanty town aka ( censored)
Doctor Rothschilde	Posted - 2010.03.31 06:57:00 - [25] The Imicus is obviously the ugliest ship in eve. I mean just look at it! The poor Helios is made to suffer as well. Not that some of the other ships mentioned here aren't ugly but the Imicus is King of Uglytown.
Venetta Imperial Academy	Posted - 2010.03.31 07:03:00 - [26] you all fail. Ugliest ship has to be the Wreathe!
Edenn Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2010.03.31 07:05:00 - [27] I wish Raven looked at least like that: Raven aka Golem 123
Jint Hikaru OffWorld Exploration Inc	Posted - 2010.03.31 08:11:00 - [28] I like the Typhoon. It fits with the Minmatar style. However I fly a Domi a lot and yes, it needs some designer love! ------------------------ Jint Hikaru - Miner / Salvager / Explorer "I've got a couple of Strippers on my ship... and they just love to dance!" ------------------------

Davanev Hraldirsson	Posted - 2010.03.31 12:32:00 - [30] Most minmatar ships are ugly looking - at least to my rather unconventional perspective. I like the Hurricane, Phoon, Maelstrom, Breacher and probe. the rest are at best - meh. Even the rifter, the darling of most matari pilots looks just plain silly to me - especially with an oversized cartoon gun mounted on the ****pit roof! As for the scythe and belicose - just too ugly for me to even think about flying them. I would be embarassed to die in them. Tempest and rupture - look odd. Cyclone - why the dumb foglamp? Without it the ship would just about look ok. Moa and all the gallente frigates are hideous and need redoing from scatch. Pretty much all the amarr ships are good - not keen on the mining frigate.

The Imicus is melted-coathanger hideous but the Incurses/flying Alien head is hawt. I hate Amarr ships; gaudy like Liberace-inspired costume jewelry lol. I can see Hillary Clinton wearing a Crusader as a broach lol. Oh, but ugliest ship imho: Prorater/Bestower/rollypolly

Captain Muscles Caldari Clan Farthammer	Posted - 2010.03.31 14:23:00 - [35] I kinda like the Moa model. The Gila and Onyx look like boney fingers pointing at your enemies with promises of doom on the horizon. I'm quite pleased with the Moa itself, actually. It does one thing, and does it well: Gas Harvesting.
Magistrate Aribeth Gallente Taarakian Bellator Industries Slammer's Republic	Posted - 2010.03.31 19:24:00 - [36] Originally by: William Walker You won't see Amarr ships in this thread. 'fraid you'll at best see the Apocalypse here. It is pretty sad lookin'. It looks as if it were torn straight off the hull of a golden Ragnarok that once had a smooth surface.. Or perhaps, the Ragnarok had a smooth surface design at one point and the Minmatar found it disgusting and tore it off - resulting in the Amarrians finding the piece they tore off and turned it into the Apocalypse.

Labcoat2	Posted - 2010.03.31 21:35:00 - [38] Thank you, oh great moa, for being ugly as sin. If you hadn't been so ugly, I would have trained rails first.
Typherian Minmatar	Posted - 2010.03.31 21:49:00 - [39] Well the helios isn't actually a covert ops ship. Its just so ashamed of how ugly it is that it hides all the time. I personally keep mine cloaked as much as possible to prevent my eyes from bleeding.

I personally keep mine cloaked as much as possible to prevent my eyes from bleeding. Stealth boost? I used to love my Helios dearly. Then it... metamorphosed?... into what it is now. No more. Now I too have to keep it cloaked just to keep playing. But that's what it's for, right? (Oh, and to whoever above said all the covops hulls are awful: have you even looked at the Magnate or the Anathema? Those two ships are literally the only reason I'm even considering Amarr frig 5.)

Seriously Bored Minmatar	Posted - 2010.03.31 22:32:00 - [41] Originally by: Barakkus Ruptures are teh sex :P You are of course referring to the **pit priapism the ship has going on in the front? I imagine the Rupture flying into combat screaming "I fu you! I fu** you!" like Flea in The Big Lebowski... The Tempest has really grown on me though. At first I thought it looked like a badass pirate ship, then it looked like the mutant child of a giraffe and a dimetrodon to me. After flying the Varg for so long I just can't help but like it again.

Bomberlocks Minmatar Star Bombers	Posted - 2010.03.31 23:51:00 - [43] Don't you touch my Phoon! It looks mean and it uses its rusty edges to cut people with who make joke about its looks! And if that doesn't work, it makes an excellent club. The Ruppie looks like an Uzi in space, and handles just like one too! I will never forget RuR alliance in the Alliance Tourney VI using a boat load of Ruppies on full auto AC to blow apart their opponents. The Bellicose is a seriously fun ship to fly. Oh so versatile. More drones than the Ruppie or Stabber, very fast, constantly underestimated by overconfident frigate and inty pilots. -- Sometimes I think of CCP as a mentally challenged child with a big hammer in its hand trying to fix the broken plates in the room by hitting them as hard as it can.

Sperrzone Stardust Heavy Industries Majesta Empire	Posted - 2010.04.01 09:39:00 - [46] Oneiros / Exequror are prolly the ugliest ships I mean, how the hell is it even able to fly straight in any direction without flying circles all the time

Create an alt and pod your main immediately! The Rifter is an ugly, stupid looking, x wing wannabee. I have no idea why people get so obsessional about it. The autocannon placement on the roof makes it look like a starfighter from cartoon designed for 7 year olds. Just what are those dumb lumps on the twin booms meant to be? I just don't get it, I wouldn't fly one of these if you paid me.

Andrea Skye Caldari The Python Cartel. The Jerk Cartel	Posted - 2010.04.02 00:09:00 - [55] Tempest is sexy as hell. Its a ship with SAILS. Pirates need sails on thier ships. Its my favourite ship in the game. Rupture is pretty cool looking too. The rest i kinda agree with tho, the typhoon looks like a rusty dustbin.

This is true. However if you don't assume that each of the engines produces the same amount of thrust then it becomes viable since you can change the thrust output of each engine to eliminate the moments in straight flight. And since no ships have maneuvering thrusters or indeed engines that don't point straight back, we already know that engines can vary their thrust outputs in order to turn. That being said there are some ships that STILL couldn't possibly work: Any ship with all of its engines on the same horizontal plane can't fly up or down, similarly any ship with all its engines on the same vertical plane can't turn left or right. In fact any ship with all its engines in the same plane can rotate only within that plane. Also any ship with all of its engines offset from its center of mass in the same general direction can't fly in a straight line, I thnk there are a few ships like that. ________________ Originally by: CCP Incognito PS the "time to P*nis" is the shortest time recorded in human history. :)

So ridiculous that I feel silly just being in the same space youÆre in. Acknowledging you in combat is repugnant. The shame of losing to you, a reason to quit the game. My Caldari alt was using a Caracal for level 2 missions but never had a chance to finish them. In fact 2 Caracals were lost in the "Blockade" mission. So I bought and fitted a Moa that I named "Quasimodo". With that ship I finished most of the missions without problems.
Dimitrios Ypsilanti	Posted - 2010.04.02 20:50:00 - [60] Originally by: Seriously Bored Originally by: Magistrate Aribeth No gravity, no difference in direction regardless which engine is putting out more thrust. =P You still have center of mass to contend with...the vector of thrust matters a lot in space. This is probably one of the more offensive aspects of current Eve ship design. Not only are the ugly, but they make no sense. The lack of axial symmetry makes no sense. And the fact that some ships have symmetry and some don't is even more bothersome. There are some aspects of these ships that just defy the known laws of physics: - Asymmetrical engine layouts. Bad: Typhoon + most Caldari ships. Good: Ferox - Ditto asymmetrical mass distribution. Bad: Raven, Osprey. Good Ferox again - Long, pencil-like shape. Agility requires the ship be compact around the center of mass - Long booms and bits that stick out. Bad: Tempest. Good: Drake - Lack of internal volume in a hauler. Bad: Prowler. Good Fenrir - Weapon systems that are positioned off the center of gravity. Bad Naglfar. Good Maelstrom (Amarr doesn't matter) Plus, I agree that the Rifter is also just plain ugly. But can let it slide for two reasons: - I'm usually zoomed out enough to not really be looking at the ship and thus can ignore it's ugliness - It's the Rifter. It's general awesomeness earns it a pass

Bad: Typhoon + most Caldari ships. Good: Ferox Eh, I feel like the Raven could work, but maybe that's just me. It at least looks like a good, sturdy, chunky ship that could take a fair amount of punishment. Quote: - Ditto asymmetrical mass distribution. Bad: Raven, Osprey. Good Ferox again Perhaps, but the front of the Ferox makes me want to bas my head into a wall... if the Ferox hadn't already beaten me to it. It's a ship I like from all angles except the most important: the front. Quote: - Long, pencil-like shape. Agility requires the ship be compact around the center of mass Yes, absolutely. The Maelstrom is a friggin' joke in this regard. Plus, there's the equal importance of structural stability. From appearance alone, I'd wager that a beefer boat like a Dominix (although I hate how they look) or a Brutix could take a hell of a lot more punishment than a Maelstrom any day of the week. It's like the difference between a baseball and a pencil - which absorbs more force before breaking? Quote: - Long booms and bits that stick out. Bad: Tempest. Good: Drake The Tempest is like the joke battleship of EVE - it looks like its already missing major parts, and a few missiles would all that would be required to break it apart. Seriously: I don't care how strong your shields or alloys are, one I start pummeling that long, crane-like neck, you're going to have a ship sans bridge in about 30 seconds. I disagree whole-heartedly about the Drake, however; it suffers from the same lack of mass as the Maelstrom, just in a lateral rather than longitudinal sense. Start firing away at one of the Drake's two 'joints' for long enough and you're going to have a ship that's completely without hull stability in short order. The Drake is a bad design. Quote: - Lack of internal volume in a hauler. Bad: Prowler. Good Fenrir Yes, although I couldn't care less what industrials and whatnot look like: all I see is a HUD target at about 60 km off and then an explosion. Quote: - Weapon systems that are positioned off the center of gravity. Bad Naglfar. Good Maelstrom (Amarr doesn't matter) How about the gun emplacements on the Rokh (the very top of the ship - I sense some oncoming spinning, although, God help me, I love that ship) or the Hyperion? I imagine the Hyperion skating back and forth as its guns push it both against the momentum of its engines and then rocket it forward with each successive volley. Bad, CPP. Bad! Quote: Plus, I agree that the Rifter is also just plain ugly. But can let it slide for two reasons: - I'm usually zoomed out enough to not really be looking at the ship and thus can ignore it's ugliness - It's the Rifter. It's general awesomeness earns it a pass There's no excuse for the Rifter's appearance. It looks like a trashed X-Wing with a water pistol strapped to the roof. If any ship absolutely begs for imbedded gun emplacements, it's the Rifter. Without them, it looks utterly ridiculous... although hardly the worst of the Minmatar designs. I feel like walking up to 90% of the Minmatar ships out there and hanging a giant "closed for renovations" sign on them before running off.

The only thing the center of mass would do is cause the engines to work harder to push the ship forward. If the ship's mass is too great, the engines will have a harder time pushing it. If I remember correctly, the awkward placement of the engines on a ship in space won't cause any difference in direction. The only event that would cause this is if auxiliary thrusters were being used and interweb spaceshipz do not have these. =P Now, the awkward placement of an engine would cause less thrust to maximum velocity to the ship because it's not pushing right behind the general center of mass of the ship, so alot of that thrust is being displaced into nowhere(See first paragraph). In cases such as the Exequror, I think the placement of the engines with the little support from the extremities they're attatched to would cause the engine to rip itself from the hull because of said lack of support. Think of the Enterprise, with open flame thrusters. /watches Nacels take off like rockets

Abervest	Posted - 2010.04.03 02:51:00 - [65] Originally by: Shrike Arghast Quote: - Weapon systems that are positioned off the center of gravity. Bad Naglfar. Good Maelstrom (Amarr doesn't matter) How about the gun emplacements on the Rokh (the very top of the ship - I sense some oncoming spinning, although, God help me, I love that ship) or the Hyperion? I imagine the Hyperion skating back and forth as its guns push it both against the momentum of its engines and then rocket it forward with each successive volley. Bad, CPP. Bad! the weapons placement actually doesn't matter that much (other then for radians of tracking) As the Rail-gun system produces no recoil from firing. Only the minmatar weapons system has recoil that would affect the ships movement. Missiles and lasers similarly produce no recoil. (although missiles useage would effect the center of mass and agility of the ship as they were used up. (changing the mass of the vehicle as it moved))

For example, take a look at the Dominix sideways. Now, in your head, flip it upside down. Pretty awesome design for a hiking boot isn't it? Seriously, someone must have taken a shoe and put it upside down on their desk and used it as a model. The rupture, honestly, looks like a small power drill or glue gun. If you put your hand up to it, you can see where the handle and triggers are. The Nightmare is a bow. The bestower and sigil are slugs The thorax, from a direct top-down view, is male genitalia (I imagine this one was not intended...) The prophecy looks like someone over-fed a duckling and now it is trying to fly The Brutix is the elephant man's head... with wings. >_> I'm sure there are others but I don't see them right now.

Center of mass is where the engine ports are at. Greater stopping power and greater acceleration. :P
Jotobar	Posted - 2010.04.05 12:06:00 - [70] The onyx which is essentialy a black/red moa looks mean, probably top 3 of all ships ingame on my list. That it's a tough cookie to crack and help ruin everyones day (from pods to titans to friendlies) helps I supose.

The only event that would cause this is if auxiliary thrusters were being used and interweb spaceshipz do not have these. =P Eah, not quite. If you accelerate something forward from behind and left of the center of mass, it rotates right. If you accelerate it forward from behind and right of the center of mass, it rotates left. If you're accelerating something from directly behind the center of mass, and change the angle of thrust even slightly, it starts going in different directions. This works in water, air, and space, with space just offering less drag and lower gravity to contend with, and the inability to use fluid or gas dynamics to steer. The auxilary thrusters you're thinking of are just a very efficient way of changing a ship's direction, not the only way. And unfortunately, most the ships in EVE would end up flying in circles of varying sizes. Oh well. I play it for the awesome pew pew, not the realism.

Capitals: 1: All Minmatar Capitals including Industrial Now I have to take issue with some of these. First of all. The Bellicose. It's not a good ship but it's pretty. One of the nicer designs they came up with in my opinion. And I also like the rifter and the reaper. The maller also isn't that bad just like the cyclone The really bad ones are the Thyphoon(good ship but boring to look at) The rupture (a shrimp with hemorrhoids) And the stabber is boring as hell too. Wouldn't touch a rokh it's almost as bad as the phoon.What a waste. And the moa...(what's the front of that thing?)
Potrero Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2010.04.07 01:39:00 - [74] What are the chances we can get CCP to look at some of these models? They're looking at the scorpion after all. Why not the Moa...
Tobias Xiaosen Gallente TX Holdings Company	Posted - 2010.04.07 02:01:00 - [75] Edited by: Tobias Xiaosen on 07/04/2010 02:01:23 Personally I actually like the Domi. It reminds me of old three masted sailing warships, not sure why. Pic I love almost all of the Amarr ship designs, hate almost all of the Caldari and Minmatar desgins, and love/hate Gallente in equal measures --- My sig got nerfed so I need a new one
Zephna	Posted - 2010.04.07 05:45:00 - [76] Originally by: Silent Knight 1st was that there are two designers for all Caldari ships. One for the left half, one for the right. These two designers are never allowed to meet & discuss ideas. my buddy rivyn has had that on his profile for a very long time, some 5 plus years, he never said if he heard it or made it up tho. Originally by: Davanev Hraldirsson The Rifter is an ugly, stupid looking, x wing wannabee. I have no idea why people get so obsessional about it. The autocannon placement on the roof makes it look like a starfighter from cartoon designed for 7 year olds. i always thought it looked like a pod racer personally, and a gun on what would be the useless ****pit window is called; efficient gun placement for maximum capacity. im gunna go ahead and call the moa the ugliest thing to fly the stars, and as far as the rupture i remember how ecstatic i was when i got it first starting out and staring at it in awe, still think its the most badass looking ship.
Rusty Havoc	Posted - 2010.04.07 16:38:00 - [77] huh.. an ugly ship thread with not a single mention of the Aeon...
Sargon Dent	Posted - 2010.04.08 12:35:00 - [78] Badger. It's a industrial I know, but still. It looks like a slapped together piece of corrugated aluminum siding. Definitely has a very long turd thing going on. What really sets it off is the little tiny front and rears.

Anabella Rella Minmatar Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2010.04.08 17:27:00 - [81] How did the Celestis not make this list? It's even weirder looking than the Moa! When I first saw one it reminded me of some kind of sea monster. Hands down the worst looking ship in Eve, IMO. PS leave the Rifter, Rupture, Typhoon and Tempest alone. They're iconic dammit! They remind me of pirate or smuggler ships (well, not the 'Phoon so much). Hey, remember the Millennium Falcon wasn't beautiful either, but it rocked, much like the above Matari ships!

Shameless Avenger	Posted - 2010.04.10 03:39:00 - [86] I have uber skilz for both Hyperion and Brutix but meh, they are so ugly. Megathron is sexy depending on the angle... the front legs and kinda over sized really. Myrmidon is uber sexy, but they shoot down mah drones. Now training for Harbinger ftw. Prophecy is uber sexy too, even tho it does look like an angry chicken.

Neutro-platform- check Logi Platform- check All-out gunboat- check Shieldgank for extra awesome and wtf'd damage output- check Armor tanker for extra utility- check Man tanking- check And it's cheap....And you still have drones as a main weapon...Hell, before the ship speed changes it was a loltastic nano-ship as well, up there with the Nanophoon (check). And it's not that it's ugly, it's just so...plain / boring looking. Compared to every other ship in eve it just seems so uninspired; Even the 'Ugly' ships in eve have a certain charm to them (I'm looking at you, Raven, torp-spewing death-picasso that you are). The domi has some nice details on it that you can trace to other Gallente ships but they're surrounded by blandness; it's not even extra-bumpy like some of the other ships. You've shown us what you can do with the Scorpion (See above), let's see what you can do for the 'ole potato.

Same for industrials, although the Badger looks really tasteless, a flying Tin Can. I actually like the Maelstrom and Armageddon, they're my fav BS class hulls. Fav cruiser hulls: Omen, Arbi, Thorax Fav BC hulls: Hurricane, Harbinger Fav frig: Punisher Best looking ships: Amarr Ugliest fleet: Gallente And yes we need more symmetry!! It would make a lot of ships so much better looking.
