I’m here in EVE since 1.5 years and i like the game. But there are things inside the game that are so terrible to behold and i cannot understand why only so few people every requested correction in this.
Here a earlier forum entry:

On the HECATE: what a beautiful ship … what a DISGUST seeing it the first time armed, with having (optical) 8 weapon slots but only 5 can be fitted? Even more, a symmetrical ship with a asymmetrical weaponry?
Please correct this. Give a player like myself the change to equip a weapon on each weapon slot. If this means getting 8 high slots, then be it. Lower the boni of the ship instead for balancing, maybe raise the cap.
Or redesign the ship. Make it with only 6 optical weapon mounts, give the change to equip 6 weapon. And so on.
The same goes for the Hyperion. I bought, trained, the ship skill just for this ship after I saw it with several skins in the internet … and equipped with 8 guns and bow and after.
And now … only 6 weapons to mount left. I could accept this if the skin would have change, too. If only 6 weapon mounts would be visible at the hyperion. But it’s still 8. And a missile launcher … a single missile launcher? On a Gallente ship? Oh please, come on.
The Vexor … its beautiful seeing the weapon mounts retracting into the ship on warping. But the vexor has 6 mounts on the ship while only 4 are fitable with weapon.
So … could the Vexor mount 6 weapons in the past?
Have 2 been removed for balancing? OK, but then match the ship model to this. Or in such case make only those weapon mounts extracting from the ship after warp-out which are actually fitted with weapons. And those without just stay inside.
There are so much more ships with such disgusting things.
So please take a look through the ship tree and redesign what does not match.
Make them look corresponding to their possible weapon fitting again.
Or remove the visible weapon mounts or weapon mount markings from ships.
Whatever.
Best regards
