Why does all the good looking ships suck and all the crappy looking ship are amazing?

Don't get me wrong here all fed ships except Star cruiser right now look so bad in comparison. The Kazon ships looks good, but they suck in comparison. I think I saw someone using an ugly Fed starship. It was huge compare to my star cruiser but, dam it was ugly.

They have to give ugly ships good stats so people will buy them.

Because you have no taste?

I like my Tal'Shiar Adpated ships, the Narcine, and the Eclipse intel cruiser and all of them have pretty much great stats. Heck, even the T'laru grew on me and it's a beast.





It took some kitbashing, but I eventually made things I liked out of the new T6 Sovereigns.



Even the Tarantula's not bad.

Agreed. There are lots of good looking ships in this game that kick butt, and that is my opinion. I also think there are a few nasty looking ships, but they are few and far between.​​

A ship (ugly or otherwise) is only as good (or bad) as it's pilot. If you like the Kazon ship, I'm sure it could be made competitive, especially for PvE content.

Hey my old girl isn't ugly. I love my T6 Defiant. Bit of a kitbash too.

I do like the Lukari ship. I have to say I prefer smaller ships over bigger. The Lukari, we don't have to argue what is fore and what is aft, what is up and what is down. It has good turn rate and flies almost as an escort.

Btw, if you like big ships and the ship you like is small, you can just zoom in the camera. Look at the pictures above. Has anybody a clue if these ships are big or small. That Sovvy with those nacelles, that is just weird. What is it for? Wait, it let the ship floats when it lands on water.

Can I get away with taking offence to the idea that you find my beautiful Excelsior to be ugly?

My D4x, Vengeance, Olaen, JH Attack ship, Paradox, Mobius, and Malem are offended by the OP.

My Vesta is not happy with you calling her ugly.

OP's opinion shouldn't be hauling garbage, it should be hauled away AS garbage!

. The Guardian for example looks like a classic TNG era design, and can handle all of the content in the game when flown with even semi-competence.

Well, let's see. My Acheros is one mean ship, and I quite like the way it looks:

But then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Captain America says: "I understood that reference."

Guardian is great, very cool that they basically 99% copied Probert's original Ambassador concept art of what he actually wanted the ship to look like, instead of what they actually gave him the time and money to build.

Beauty remains in the eye of the beholder. The reason some ships are "bad" is not because they are.
It is because they have bad players.

I will say that I'm not a fan of most of the "future" designs. Probably because they seemingly based the general style on the Ent-J, which is a massive pile of ugly.
