Have a ship that you think a particular animation would look being added to or want a current animation upgraded?

Post your ideas here.

Typhoon - When warping the side bay covers open up. But to reveal what? For each of the vertical rectangular sections near the top most portion of the cover arms I think a dim yellowish glow should be present as well as a yellow 'beacon' light on the section of the ship that is being covered up that would turn on when warping to signify that a process is present relating to the operation of the warp drive process being operation that would then turn off when the ship exits warp.

That would be really cool. I'm sure you could come up with similar effects for a lot of ships. I like this idea. Anything that gives me nice juicy eye candy during flight.

The magnate pulling in the engines into the sides in warp, making it more compact. The model just asks for that animation.

I would love this, as the Anathema is my favorite looking covert ops hull.

Apocalypse drone doors shut and the plating on the "towers" retract.

Crucifier/Sentinel arms retract into their slot.

I would like an animation of my GPU fans spinning slower in big fleet fights.
Also I would like TiDi climbing up animated to be slower.

Can you also animate creation of new ships to fill new roles and stop wasting time on cosmetic trivialities.

EvE-Mail me if you need anything.

Megathron - the hood covers where the head lights are located would separate away from the hull on hydraulic jacks to reveal an inner mechanical light.

or the crucifier could start flying the correct way up instead of upside down.

Legion. The majority of the subsystem variants already have the appearance of being capable of pulling together to make the ship a sleek little bullet during warp.

Are you a forum alt? Have you ever wondered why your experience on the forums is always so frustrating and unrewarding? This may help.

Augoror - The two side panels would extend when using repair modules with a slight yellowish glow and when then close again when the repair has completed.

When using energy transfer modules the lighting effect would be a light blue in color.

Art team dosnt touch or design ships, ever, "cosmetic trivialities" are fine to work with because the team has nothing else to do until those "new ships" for "new roles" are finished being designed for release, so they can make the model. Also, more animations on ships wont affect tidi, only your computer since visuals are all client-side, which also means they are animations liekly capable of being turned off for you lot that still refuse to even upgrade to DX11

Retriever - dust plumes coming out of the masher arm thingies on each side.

And yes the option to turn off such animations would be present.

I want...

- the Thorax to shorten while in warp and lengthen when moving at sub-light speeds. Twisted

- the Incursus "lance" to shorten and lengthen between warp and sub-light speeds.

- the Vengence's "extra thrusters" to extend while in warp.

How did you Veterans start?
