Oris (Amarr VIII) is the heart of the Empire.  
Hence the four Avatar Titans on duty outside the EFA station there.

If you want to see a sight, then go and have a look at the “Empress Catiz I Honour Guard” in Amarr. It was the site of the coronation ceremonies a few years back and is still used for some events.

I really like the work CCP have done on ship design and characteristics - I normally fly Amarrian ships, but trying others the difference in how they _feel_ to fly is significant. And long may those differences remain.

Jackdaw. I like to cycles through modes while I’m warping between gates so it switches from looking sleek, to lean, to mean.

Most ships I think should have a “warp mode” and normal mode at the least.

My fav is always gonna be the Stratios. I like the sleek lines and the detail is fun to just look at.  
My runner up would be the Talwar strangely enough - it is the opposite of sleek. It reminds me of an early ironclad steam ship.  
As a race as a whole, I like Amarrian ships.

I was never a fan of the extreme asymmetry of early Caldari designs.  
The asymmetry on some of the Gallante ships works.

I guess I like ships that encapsulate (/snerk) each race’s mythos:  
Caldari - Utilitarian and angular, Corporate/Military aesthetics carried over into ship design.  
Gallente - designed by a committee, but with a guiding hand. Round but not truly organic.  
Amarr - Pretentious totems designed to inspire the faithful and intimidate heathens.  
Minmatar - Industrial minimalism, but with a sense of not holding the man down

I know these skins was to raise money for the dude’s family, so it feels wrong to complain, but I was bummed out that these skins all sold out before the US TZ even had time to log on.
