BIOS = Akward looking ships... :/

In my opinion, the Bios ships look strange and are really bizzare-looking ships.
Someone else (can't remember her name) commented that the Bios models look majestic... /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

The reason why I started this poll is that I win well with Bios, but I strongly dislike its ship models. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

Guess what your poll has in common with all these threads? I'll give you a clue. It starts with "s", and rhymes with "pam".

If you dont intend to elaborate more why this is a "ugly" faction and why you wanted a poll in the first place other then get a post count and bore players.
I will say this ones, please dont expect to get away with a poll in this part of the forum, unless its needed for a assignment or a modification where you have worked hard to find the correct solution and want the community to show appreciation in what you made.

To avoid any regular member of this part of the forum to speak "frankly" ill lock the thread for posting if they do.. i think the poll will be open.
In other words I think its fine that you express you opinion, but don't be lazy when you utter your opinion about art, elaborate!

Try again.. if you post another thread with a poll ill lock it.

Bios models are supposed to be different, it's based on their theme. But a lot of people, myself included, happen to think they are beautiful. Have you seen how many bios ships are in people's sigs?

Or indeed on the front page of this website?
And why have you not voted in your own poll?

BIOS ship models = sex on thrusters.

Cant vote. Only 22 posts. /doh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doh:" border="0" alt="doh.gif" />

EDIT: Ok, since everyone agrees that BIOS is beautiful (Are you sure about this??), I should probably join ya'll. "If you cant beat them, join them."

In other news, I wish there will be a version of BIOS which = has nix models instead. /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" /> Besides, Noir invested more than US$161 into the nix models. I do not want that to go to waste.

PSS: Ok, I know, Microsoft invested much more than Noir into this game, but hey! Microsoft is owned by Bill Gates, and his wealth is enough to envelope the Earth!

Who cares if they don't look like real spacecraft, IMO the colour and shape of bios craft shows how stealthy and advanced they are well. I wouldn't really say that they are beautiful but they sure are quite unique in a good way, can't have every faction look like helicopters.

EDIT: If for some reason you don't like bios, I think you can change the model and texture of the ships as long as you don't mess with the CVH or joints.

Semi-related:

Why the heck does IGN have screenshots of Bios textures with 5x+ detail?
