EVE Information Portal

Need little more work: remove box-effect, then camera from ship; maybe little fix engine exhaust or remove start-render point litte back (not critial as box-effect), and then camera too far - trails become noise-effect


Anyway trails are awesome !!!oneoneoneone

So let CCP Mankiller completes all his ideas.

I have to say that this is shaping up to be the best expansion since trinity IMO .

Awesome work on the trails and thanks for doing a brain dump on the work behind the scenes. Is it just me or does there seem to be a renewed sense of community from both the players and the devs since they were allowed to return to internet spaceship design? It is so much nicer to get regular updates on what is happening and actually see the guys doing the work reply and either incorporate suggestions or explain why something has to be the way it is.

I think Crucible started out as a do or die expansion that has now morphed into the entity that gave Eve her legs back .


Thanks for all the hard work!

I see a lot of improvement from the old trails, these look like a lot of hard work and excellent critical thinking went into their design.

I like them a lot more than the old ones, especially the fact that they're client side.

That being said, I feel like they could look better.

The trails are overly neon blue, in my opinion; they stick out far too much from the dark harsh world of that is Eve. Would it be too much work to perhaps turn down how bright they are? Them emitting that much light doesn't make much sense to me.

Anyway, I apologize for the negative feedback, you're truly doing great things there.

Wishing you the best,

Good job!!!

Hate math but I do love them trails Fantastic to have em back ^^
Great work dude!

Missile trails :drool:

super! please give CCP Mankiller enough time to impove it!

I like this so much I actually went and checked if there really was a beer fund donation option

i love engine trails.... but now my head hurts :(

Is there any chance you could incorporate faint trails when warping? It looks a little strange when you're flying along, and then immediately when entering warp your trails abruptly disappear, and when exiting warp they abruptly reappear.

I guess shouldn't the point be that they look more like contrails, and effect OF the engines, rather than semi-transparent streamers of cloth? Most of the time they look like contrails, but not when they disappear abruptly or aren't correctly aligned with the engine if you're turning sharply.

How do they do this effect in flight simulator games? I think it was Ace Combat 4 that had a really good effect that was created by the tips of the wings, and another for the contrails that the engines create when flying through the atmosphere.
