I love how this simple post has brought out such vivid personalities 
The PC-12 is a lovely machine. Is there an aviation group in Eve?

Yes, but fanboys who don’t own a plane aren’t allowed in. Pilots only, not self-loading cargo that looked at a wikipedia article once.
Funny thing.
My initial instalment of EVE doesnt have sound somehow. I was like, “whoa, they really make it real. No sound in vacuum. kinda boring but impressive”
Then apparently its just zero master volume. I kinda conflicted when I turn up the volume and start hearing the beams and stuff.
Anyway to OP. rather that gallente shuttle which is still OK, arent you better complaining about Imicus line of ships? It look like a bike that on sidestand. It bugs me when it moving around. Take up the sidestand please god daymn.
I still tolerate Atron, just wish the “wing” at both of its side. Probe is weird but oh well, you cant ask for beauty from stuff made of duct tape. Raven is kinda weird if you stare at it too long, the wing is not even. But Imicus? God please.
EVE have weird concept of asymmetry. looking at old Blackbird, Osprey, Scorpion, Bantam, and many other models.
Why? I loved playing MS Flight Simulator on a 386. The new MSFS actually intrigues me, because it has the whole world as a map, streamed into the game, based on satellite data. I’ll be able to crash into my own appartment! 
The most famous one was the Moa. It had a suitcase!

I tried flying my phoenix through a planet the other day. Sadly, it just hung there in space exactly the way a brick doesnt.
The two most popular ways to design a shuttle
-
Create a polygon design and adjust it’s aerodynamics in a simulated wind tunnel
-
Download a 3D model of an IUD from free resources for medical students and add some bits on till it looks a bit like a space ship

Few pilots own their own planes, that’s a shame!

The fact that most people can’t afford all the costs involved? Or the fact that if there were a lot more people owning planes that prices would go up? Or the fact that flight simulators are going to help people getting into actual flying?
What’s the shame?
The eve group - the fellow above had suggested it was only for people who owned their own aircraft.

I think more pilots will own their own aircraft now that they don’t have to pay for new clones
If only! The most popular thing to do right now is partner with others where one guy owns it and several others buy time shares. You pay for the fuel. It’s all word of mouth and reputation, you don’t want to let people lease your plane if they’re going to shock cool the engine or lock the brakes up etc.
shuttle, shuttlecock, or birdie.
Birdie is Caldari it’s not called that in Gallente space

Caldari are squids, as far as I know.
Squids = Slightly derogatory name for Caldari Factional Warfare pilots

That’s just propaganda, they are cephalopods conjured by evil Amarrian imperialist pig dog witches
