Yeah saw this thread, flew past a Myrmidon and thought to myself.....that sure a **** isn't a bird.

myrmidons used to be pretty vicious too, never know what your facing when goin against one 1v1... more diverse than even the cane imo

but then again, very few cald ships look like birds... reference - Damnation/Absolution/Prophceccy

Im more for the Amarri ships because most of them do look like eagles or birds....however the apocalypse has to be the coolest looking ship ever

And here's me, loving the look of my upside-down sailboat...

Can't say I like Caldari design at all, though the Manicore looks OK (the Zerg Drone Nemesis is the best looking Stealth Bomber IMO). Amarr are growing on me; but I still don't see many where I am. Gallente are best by me for looks.

Their culture and history, their bird symbolism (the bird names for the ships and their love of freedom and liberty,) and their armor designs. I'm sorry...but which Gallente ships are named for birds again? I fly Gallente right now (drone boats mostly) and cant think of any... If anything, I'm getting a "Greek" feeling out of the names (Helios, Erebus, Eos, Hyperion, Myrmidon, and so on and so forth...) caldari are the bird names... raven, rokh, leviathan, wyvern, chimera, phoenix, rook, falcon, so on and so forth, and those are onlyt he ones i had off top my head, feel free to add to the rest of the caldari bird names

Gallente are best by me for looks. ive always had a half chub for gall boats, but just because i <3 blaster boats, blaster mega is DIRTY if you can put it to use... blaster astarte ends up being much better effective dps though when running with others. but as for looks, i am a fan of the nightmare and the rest of the sansha line of ships(phantasm and curor?), they look like theyre just supposed to ram the enemy ships. "damn the torpedoes, ramming speed!" EDIT Sansha ships = Nightmare-BS, Phantasm-Cruiser, Sucubus-Frigate Cruor was the blood raider frigate, and i apologize for my incorrect recollection.

Only recently did I notice the Sansha's Nation Ships in game.....spikey onions for everyone! I would have loved to do this Templar event seeing as one of the Imperfects was offering up a Succubus to someone who proves they were in it and did all the cool stuff. i got a nightmare that i dont use sitting out in TEST space currently, cant access my accounts or even get to it since my accounts were removed from TEST... but yes, nightmares are pretty potent, being that they can get away being shield tanked and laser fit, they end up with some excellent damage, and the open highslots made them great in pairs, dual transfer nightmares make pretty quick work of just about everything, though i feel paladins do it better... specially when facing Blood Raiders that i was used to in Delve and Period Basis, the em/therm tank of armor just works better.
