Originally by: Jarah Tatarin Nothing beats the Rupture in ugliness, seriously it looks like a hybrid between crap, a chicken and a war axe. It got two freaking fronts!
Thats why they call it a rupture...they just forgot the preceeding word..."anal" But cmon, just like the other mimitar flying terds (minus the rifter) the ships have character. Id be willing to bet that you still wouldnt trade your tech 1 rupture for any other tech 1 cruiser.

I actually quite like the EvE ships, sure it has a few uglies, but imho the better looking ships out pace the ugly ones... Caldari ships may be asymetrical(Sp?) but some of them are pretty sweet...
Caldari...Scorpian is a nice looking ship, it looks like it does what its bonus' state, massive amounts of antennas to support E-War. Raven is ugly no doubt. I also quite like capital ships of the State beautful ships.
Gallente... well this is biased since I'm caldari but EVERY FREAKING GALLENTE SHIP IS UGLY, its mainly not about the shape of them but the color... I mean bloody hell those ships need a better color scheme, and overal there designs look like something that came out of my behind...
Minmatar... Well I actually quite like these, the Color may look like crud but it fits them, and the overal designs on most of there ships look nice, the Solar sails look freaking cool and there new ships are especially awesome.
Amarr... What can I say the Amarr have the best looking ships in the game, best color scheme and greatest designs, the Augoror and Maller and Apoc. are the worst looking ships and those are still good looking enough to fly.
Other... ok you got me those mining barges look fugly bar the Procurer, if they could remove that freaking door like thing on the front the might actually look cool but, gods I refused to fly a Retriever for the longest time cause I hated how it looked. The faction ships in EVE are also sweet looking, except the nightmare, that thing is just messed up.

Now that is hawt. The battle in the end is... CCP should learn how to do big ship explosions from there :) Just I imagine the lagfest if you get the usual 100-200 peep fleet fight with such graphics :)

Thanks stork...i like the way the big ship goes down at the end. Doesn't just blow up in one massive explosion but kind of dies alot of little deaths inside with loads of smaller explsions and wat not...awesome realism. - Michael Schumacher won many a formula one race.

Remember the vehicles in them Mad Max movies? Caldari engineers are rough addicts for ship altering and add ons, and the Gals are forever re-doing the paintwork on theirs. . Amarr are different, they think ahead. Grab a Prophecy today, now theres a real bird of prey.
That Nexus vid is where CCP belongs, Hollywood stylee, I hope CCP are still into innovating or some sharp company will soon be grabbing their loayal players rather quickly, then eve will dive for the toilet like all the other stagnant games in our glorious online history.

I agree on the minmatar ships. When you fly those, think more Aliens, Chronicles of Rid****, and many other b-rated scifi. The ships just generally look mean and all buisness. No limpwristed clean lines and gracefull curves, you dont need that crap in space. So in that sense, I like that the ships I fly have big blisters and blocky structures protruding out of them. I also like rust color!

I'd be really happy if the ships in Eve looked like those in Elite.
Yes - they were just polygons, but they looked functional. Thin, dagger-like wedges for the combat ships; fat cones for the industrials; boxes for the shuttles.
They were symmetrical, had engines on one end only, and the surface area contained a large volume.
Elite-style ships with up-to-date textures and a few guns or antennae, maybe with a few curves or other idiosyncracies to distinguish between the races... mmmm...

The ship designs are OK I guess, some better than others. But honestly, up the sizes of some ships! Especially capital ships they should be enormous to add to that special feeling. Battleships could be a bit larger too imo
ps. Put out the t2 battleships already!! ds.

I personally like the utilitarian and "ugly" models of the Minmatar and Caldari ships, especially Minmatar. The look like warships should, built to kill, with looks having no importance, and thus achieving a mean killer look.
.... although the Caracal and Moa are still ugly.
The Amarr ships are quite okay, it suits their background. Golden imperial ships, glorious etc.
The Gallente ships are sadly, just ugly. Most of them look like digested turds.

The Megathron is the reason i did almost choose Gallente when i started, the image of that beauty, spitting plasma left and right, wow. The Thorax looks awesome for a smaller combat ship (aside from the asymetry and the weird thruster layout that is), but my absolute favorite has to be the Prophecy, a true Warbird. I just wish it would be slightly sleeker and nimbler, then it would be perfect.
Originally by: Admiral Annihilation :O That video is amazing, the space battle at the end is awesome
The style reminds me a lot of the BSG combat scenes, the swift camera moves, the relative silence, the perspectives...
Originally by: Shandling If I was going to spend $100 million worth of resources on a ship, I'd put every penny into making sure it kept me alive instead of looking sleek and cool.
Marcel Dassault once said: "For an airplane to fly well, it must look good." And i think that goes for starships too
Anyway, for pure efficiency, nothing beats Perry Rhodan style spherical designs.

one of the reasons i never became a trekkie despite being a nerd in general was because trek ships look like they're conceptual spaceships from the 50s designed by elves (and also because the story sucks).
some eve ships look ugly though, i must admit. but eve ships > trek overall, imo.

As some have already posted, the shape of the ship doesn't matter too much wrt use as aerodynamics aren't a factor. To the post regarding position of thrusters to the mass of the ship, you can take realism a little too far :)
As for the ship designs everyone is going to have faves. Personally the Thorax and Mega are what made me choose gallente for my alt but imo the sheer 'landrover' aspect to all matari ships, (Mael and 'cane excepted) just sums up the racial attitude to combat. I'm sure someones sig contains the quote 'Flying Matari is like going down a staircase on an office chair firing an Uzi'. Can't recall if it's word perfect but it captures the ideal! What I mean about the 'landrover' aspect is that it's not the most sleek, all mod cons machine but you can repair it in the field with a minimal amount of tools. Built for a purpose, not for comfort :)
Even if you love the trek ships though, (I really don't like them), just how much fun would a trek MMORPG be? Seriously, namby pamby federation bound by all those rules? Even the other races are boring, about the only ones that appeal to me are the Maquis! ______________________________ A closed mouth inserts no foot

Dominix is definitely butt-ugly.. Spacewhale on wheels.. were you people high? And Execuror?? Someone squished a frog...
As for cool looking things, Machariel looks damn right uber, too bad its 4 times the size of other BS.
Megathron is ok, only if the eggsack in the middle was removed somehow.
Gallente in all look ok, some of the most intimidating ships are gallente. They just gotta loose the murky-swamp color theme, clean it up and we are in business.
Caldari probably has only a few cool looking ships beside the cap ships. Scorpion, Rokh, Kestrel, Merlin and Heron (to some extent). Raven and Moa are just lego blocks assembled in a horribly wrong fashion.
Most Minmatar look like scrapheaps oh epic proportions. Some of them look very cool, except for the rust color scheme, grafix revamp will fix that I suppose. Some don't look very sturdy, like the Tempest and Bellicose.
Most Amarr look really cool, but I personally dislike the gold color, don't like gold at all. Blood raider colors are really nice though.
So yea, fix the Domi FFS.. and make my Machariel smaller I can fit 3 ravens in it.

I'm not a trekkie, but looking at those ships made me kinda sad when I compared them to most Eve ships. I'm stuck with a domi for quite a while and... well it's ugly as hell. And it's not even Minmatar. If Amarr didn't blow I'd be piloting them for sure, cause at least they look decent.
Its not Startrek, infact Startrek is very old sci-fi movie when people prolly thought that each ship should be clean and perfectly shaped like a sports car.
Moa 4tw.
gotta agree there. if you think about it... in reality battleships are more likely to be shaped like the domi or something... its alot more efficient, you don't risk having a single explosion in midships breaking you in half, you have more surface area to spread sensors and weapons and whatnot around, your engines and different compartments can all be centralized AND heavily armored very easily... that big blocky design is altogether a more practical, if not prettier, design philosophy.
hence why im starting to actually like the domi more and more in terms of looks (already love it in terms of gameplay)... but also on the list are the rokh, thorax, drake, myrm and executioner. practical for the most part designs... not the wild completly unrealistic, never going to be created in reality crap that star trek tends to come up with.

Trek ships are horrible. They lack agressiveness and style of design.
I am a fan of the ships in EvE, because the designed has included asymmetrical ship designs, that work really well, like the Tempest, Scorpian and Zealot/Omen.
Compare that 'USS Titan' or whatever design to the Erebus or Avatar, there is no comparison to the detail and thought gone into them, EvE designs are for the win!
Star Trek ship designs remind me of sports cars, with aerodynamic styles, I dont want that...I want my ships to look worn, battered...and above all aggressive.
