Player Features and Ideas Discussion

ATRON ATRON ATRON ATRON




Is the slasher, griffin, bantam, buzzard, helios, getting redesigned too?

Maybe you should farmout some of the work to the community.

I'm sure there are plenty of 3D artist who play EVE and have an abundance of of ideas for new looks. There have been a couple posted in this thread already. You could:

- Describe the exact technical details for file formats, multiple texture resolutions, approximate polygon counts, texture layers, and LOD levels of what you need to make interchange easy.
- Release the existing design files (Maya, 3D Max, or whatever you use in-house) for existing ships that are in need of a redesign. These would serve as a starting point and as a practical example of the technical details.
- Let community members model their ideas and submit them. (Maybe accept designs without the multiple levels of details at this stage. Don't make them do the high-detail work until after the first round of Yes/No.)
- Evaluate the submissions and pick a winner by fiat, or pick a few of the best and let players vote.
- Polish and tweak the resulting design to bring it in-line with your technical and aesthetic standards, and to maintain the consistent look/feel of a faction. Place weapon mount points, engine particle-emitters, blinkin' lights, etc.
- Compensate the winner with a generous amount of PLEX (and one or two for the runner-ups).

- Profit!!!

Leave. The. Aeon. Alone!

The Rupture is horrible to look at.

Leave the domi as is.

potatoeshoe it may be, but its a potatoeshoe on steroids!

Honestly I'd have to say the Cynabal and the Mach

The Dram is fine, it's regarded as one of the best looking ships in the game, and I agree with this point. I do however miss how the old gun models looked on it, and more importantly I miss their location, now they're kind taped the arms.

the Cyna however looks like a pringles chip with booster growing out of it, and the mach looks like a shoe.

I my eyes these ships (especially when fit with arty) are the epitome of a space pirateship. I wish their guns were oriented like the decks of old Galleons and Man O'wars such as the tempest and maelstrom.

also I think they should get the exposed warp rings the SOE ships got, seeing how their the only hulls that actively buff warp speed in any way.

fixed that

idk, when I think space pirate ship the tempest and rupture fit the bill really well.

the dram is gorgeous, and somewhat befitting of it's piraty nature, I just can't say no to the cylon raider to be perfectly honest. the mach and cyna though just don't hit the mark aesthetically. I just want to see gun decks and radiator sails.

BTW the "sails" on minmatar ships are not solar sails or solar panels, they're radiations and therefore the most sensible ships in the game..... heat is actually a ***** to get rid of in space.

Armageddon..

Because who wants to fly mutated genitalia.

So.... who do we need to go pod and feed to the Sleepers to get concept art on this?

My suggestion, the Celestis and the two Recons based off of it. Oh, and the Osprey and its T2 Logistics counterpart. After the Blackbird and the Moa I can't wait to see what you do with the old lumpy-suitcase.
