Catalyst is so alone, poor thing..

It will always have company in the Raven, but yes I agree.

More horizontal designs, and more twin hull designs please.

Edit:

My thought is that Vertical designs look best on larger, slower moving vessels.

Horizontal designs work best for the more agile ships.

Twin Hull can go either way.

I can see it on both, actually.

Vertical ships have their appeal in looking "different", and "unique" (see: Naglfar, Myrm, Tornado, etc.) Horizontal and wide ships have their appeal in looking like a "flying wing". I would absolutely love to see a ship that really looks like a flying wing (not named Catalyst). That said, the physics of making a flying wing in space is difficult, as you have to balance the thrust carefully, and its much easier to design a long ship than it is to design a wide ship.

Balancing a vertical ship is no different than balancing a horizontal (wide) ship.

Yo mama is so wide, she needs a cyno to go shopping.

There is no vertical in space nor sound!

Personally, I always thought this game, as a whole, is too oriented to be a space game. Would like to warp in upside down or cyno jump into a system with no relative alignment.

my 2 cents

This for some reason made me laugh.

Your ship's computer automatically orients itself to the galactic plane in order to properly position your ship's communications equipment for maximum reception of interstellar communications... or some nonsense like that.

technically wouldn't ANY ship that's not vertical be horizontal, regardless of whether it's forward axis is long or short?

Wider than longer

Horizontal Plane
Of course, horizontal would only apply if you decided on an arbitrary "up" which CCP has for us.

That said, OP never said horizontal. Someone else did.
