So the Amarr & Caldari got a great visual upgrade for their ships. I've been looking for more info on when CCP is going to do the next race with the V3, & I can't really find a real answer as to when.
I personally like the Minmatar ships to be next for V3, on account that my duct tape is starting to peel & the cardboard-bubblerap is not working out for my ship's Engine Mount.

Well if anyone has some info about it, it would be much apperichated.

I'm not sure either - i didn't even realize they where overhauling again.

I have to agree on minmatar though... They ruined my Vagabond with the graphical update. I want back the sexy Vaga :(

I really enjoy the new stealth Bombers V3 & Design, I don't see any duct tape at all. Maybe they are using tin foil? Also like the Desert Camo they gave the Minmatar SB.

Hopefully the Minmatar V3'ing will come soon. it was initially promised to be included alongside Amarr.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you.

Minmatar is the only race that isn't v3'd yet. Now if they are going to release it before or on the winter expansion , that's another question.

Personally i'd wish they gave us higher resolution textures first. Most ships larger than cruiser look awful when looked at close.

yea that would be nice , but CCP said during the convention that it will take awhile to have all the ships done like that. Yes the Rez is alittle low still.

I woudl like stations to be done soon, especially Amarr ones. They tend to blind in the sunlight.

I really would like to know as well what's on the schedule for the art department. Only thing I know for sure is all ships are done with V3 except Min. Once that's done, I guess they will move to stations?? If so, what's after stations?

I know once everything is V3, they can play with the lighting or something that will really enhance everything but I'm not sure if that's accurate.

are there any dev blogs anywhere that discuss this?

I thought the V3'ing done so far was for subcaps. This would mean that capships would also need to be done as well after Min V3.

Well once they do the Minmatar, they have many things to do next: stations, & Rezing ships &stations together, etc.

I don't see much that's great about it. Sure the visual quality is sharper, but the colors are hideously muddy and misapplied. The previously glorious gold-and-red scheme of the carthum ships is now so muted that I went to fly my pilgrim the other day and wound up double-taking several times and making sure I hadn't accidentally hopped in an arbitrator. And I hate the move from a sleek black on the Khanid ships to a mostly grey scheme. I guess the Caldari T2s aren't too bad, though that "red" stripe on the Nighthawk looks awfully pink.

And then there's the warpath they seem to be on to remove all the unique and distinctive ships and replace them with base-models in space-camo.

Tech 3 ships have not been V3'd yet, no. This is probably because they have 20x the normal amount of textures (5 subsystems with 4 variants each, as opposed to a single ship).

Angel ships also have not been V3'd yet. They're coming.

Other things that will probably be V3'd include stations and stargates. Starbases will get a complete overhaul and look nothing like they do now.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Isn't that exactly what they are designed to do, Bright shining stars for every one to see the might of the Empire.

It'be more in line with Minmatar: "we'll let you know we're there when you here the sound of being locked."Or Caldari millitatary: "It Would be functional not to be seen here."

To have low profile stations.
