so i am sitting at work on christmas eve and refuse to work for mr scrooge...

reading the forums and enjoying the new "missing hit" graphics it came to me...

why is a hit animation the same for shields armor and hull?

should it not look different for each one...

and further more should there not be 4 different types of shield graphics?

due to amarr using prjected shields

minnie using deflectors

gal using pulse

and caldari using barrier?

same thing for armor hardners...

ok so explosive should be yellow... but should an EM hardner now be blue?

or thermal be red? or kin be black?

basically i am saying good job with all the new ghraphics stuff and hope to see it continue into the summer expansion...

Welcome, brother, to my personal crusade against generic hit effects.

I hate it when people make (admittedly overly simplistic) comparisons, but in the games I have modded we were able to tie different damage effects to whatever it was they were hitting.

I realize that EVE is probably a lot more complicated, I get that, but if possible this would be an excellent addition to our immersion factor that wouldn't (hopefully) involve ripping the guts out of anything.

I'd like this, but there would definitely need to be the option to turn it off for larger scale battles.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

This. Smart Effects would be amazing, but may want to turn off effects for huge battles.

Or it could be similar to the new miss animations for turrets, ie. make it client side, you'll only see it on your ship but it wouldn't cause lag in large scale battles.

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

Not server lag, no, but it could still cause CPU lag. More customizable settings is always a good thing.

Defo. One of my favorite things about Eve is the options. Add as much coolness, and boobs, as you like, but don't force it on anyone.

I'm absolutely for smart effects, and the respective option sets.

As a Stargate fan I, at this point, would suggest bubble-like or generally visible though not-flat-on-surface shields around one's ship, but never mind me daydreaming again.

I'd love to see laser light refracting accross a shield bubble upon impact. Or a near miss with a laser lighting up a small amount of the shield bubble that is close to it.

Edit: +1 for boobies, +1 for stargate
