I've played off-and-on since launch (mostly off) but am reviving my character after my longest hiatus yet. (I think I last logged in 2011.) I'm really pleased at the updates I'm seeing. The graphical enhancements are the most obvious, but the elimination of a few annoyances are really appreciated, too. No more buzzer sound when I want to switch ships immediately after docking, or trying to undock too quickly, for instance. The ability to see my character walk around the captain's quarters is a huge boon to immersion. The new stargate jump animation greatly reduces the tendency to have your ship bump into it. Too many changes to list, but I'm seeing thoughtful improvements with great frequency. Just as important, I'm experiencing the same darkly-atmospheric feeling that has always set EVE apart. The music, the elegance of Aura's voice and overall aesthetic give the game a distinctively northern European flavor that has been a key reason why I've kept coming back.

Just wanted to give my thumbs up to the devs on a great first-ish impression.

It is an awesome game now if you don't mind being a serf to the null sec cartel lords.
Otherwise, you are in for some surprises.

If you are going to change anything, just tone the intensity of the light down slightly and try a few other light source angles and you'll be damn close to perfect

Already exhausted the good options pretty much. I agree with light intensity.
A certain angle and intensity adds to the realism of the skin.
With realism in mind I also need to change the hair color,
because white doesn't render well from this angle.

Compare to the black hair of my siblings.

Well be careful, because that so far is definately the best yet

It will get improved, changed and put up on imgur,
like the rest of them.

The biggest surprise is that if you do mind being a serf to anyone, be they in high or low or null, you don't have to.
