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.

All the minnie BS's imo have unneccessary crap on them. Not my taste. I like the good old Rupture look, some metal together, with metal guns hurling metal projectiles at something, lovely :)

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 :)

The Hurricane takes the cake for me. I'd love to see a humongous version based on that body style in the game. Say a Tier 3 BS. |

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.

I have to admit I kind of like the Stabber. Even though I otherwise hate Matari ships.
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
