Yesterday I was partaking in the good ol' tradition of ship spinning while waiting for a major opp to start.

I noticed that up-close several ships had a almost mirror like finish. While one would expect the Amarr to be all full of themselves the design such ships I would not expect that of the Minmatar and related faction ships.

My Cynabal has the same finish??

C'Mon CCP Art Dept - It looks tacky and unrealistic. Surely these vessels should have a more matt finish about them.

I my view the camo on the faction ships looks bad ass but the shiny finish contradicts it and is FAIL. -Sorry-

Common sense - You can't please everyone...

OP - I'm not everyone and I don't like it!

Common sense - *sighs*

If anything they WOULD be shiny in real life because shinyness reflects radiation and heat better than a matte finish.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

One of the bigger problems in space isn't keeping warm. It's stopping a heat build up. hence shiny. (at least when you're within an au of a sun like ours)


The only way to lose heat in space is to radiate it. Which is pretty much the worst way to lose heat.

Woo! CSM XI!

Seems like everyone in the game industry loves throwing on specular maps these days. another good example of terrible shiny maps are skyrims leather and fur armor....

I feel a disturbance in the force, ISD is nearby

Thats because we don't have a material available that is shiny, super heat resistant, and semi durable.

I love how shiny my Thorax is. Im just afraid to clean it, as it might go off...

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
