Ok jumped onto Sisi and hoped for the best.

First impressions where quite nice of the V3 update, but after undocking my Abaddon i was shocked about how bad the textures look if you zoom into close range.

Up to 5Km distance it looks ok, but as soon as it gets closer, its getting terrible.

Abaddon closeup

All setting on max 1920X1080.

I remember the Hyperion suffered the same problems but got fixed some time ago. I hope Abaddon and some other ships will get these love too.

Yep, thats why i posted it

Generaly V3 ftw... but its a shame that everything bigger than a cruiser gets problems with the skins resolutions
Apoc and Armageddon need some resolutionlove too.

Yeah, seems so... but its realy a shame that so much potential of the shaders are wasted cause of those ****** up skin resolutions

Damnation looks great. Except, when I undock it is invisible. The missiles come from the side of the warfare link effect. Wooo yeah!

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

so the V3 changes were shaders only? I know the Bhaal just got some added paint as well.

is there a dev blog anywhere that states where all the ships/stations are at in terms of graphics and what V3 will accomplish?

Ugly textures aside, ships now look so dark, and they completely lost the golden hull image.
Now its just dark & dirty.

Everybody has another opinion of beautyful colors on spaceships

The colorrevamp isn't that bad, but the red on the T2 variants is a little bit too dark.
Thats something that can be fixed pretty fast, and the look depends very much on the system your in. In caldari space the ships looks quite different than in amarr space.
What realy annoys me are the low res skins.
I hoped they would upgrade the skins as they did with some caldari and gallente vessels.
Best example is the Drake.

The problem is that texture resolution for BS and for rocket launcher is the same.
Textures are of the same size, and when you apply it to rocket launcher or laser turret it will look awesome and you will see every detail... but when you apply it on BS you will stretch it and it will look horrible and you wont see anything when you zoom in.

I am sad that its like that... same resolution of textures for guns, missiles, frigates, dessies, cruisers, BC, BS... its just too much.
Size difference is too great so bigger things look like ****.

Capitals, SC, Titans and stations have bigger resolution textures and thats why they are not done now.
But again, its too low for things of that scale.

Pretty much this. V3 is nothing impressive... Instead of going through and fixing lots of the major issues with previous skins/textures they seem to have just slightly upped the res, changes some colors around, and left all the texture issues. Selling 3-4 year old tech likes it's new is kind of insulting as well as the fact this is basically round three on textures and we're still seeing major issues with seams and bad plotting.

What's needed is some actual time spent on each individual model... What's also needed is artists that actually zoom in on the models they are texturing and take pride in it looking immaculate... If thousands of bozos playing your game can find these issues inside of 30 seconds I''d hope the artists would too... Get it together.
