Not only should CCP consider improving the hit explosion visuals but also add ship destruction animations and leave big ship wrecks flying in space for a while. That would add a lot to the game feeling experience.

New to Eve, I see you are.

Big blob fights, much you have not seen.

Basically, it's gonna slow down the server by A LOT if CCP decides to implement this. Cap ships do leave behind huge wrecks but not pieces of it.

What they should do is remove dust clouds, freaking dust clouds, hate 'em

You got a point. But the destruction animation is such a good idea though..

It really isn't a good idea, for the reasons listed above.

Well as the server already has destroyed ships turn into wrecks and to implement it the server should just have to replace the variable that declares the wreck size with one that declare the ship type of ship wrecked after that the load is on the client to have the models of all those different wrecks rendered to the scene at once. And you could have an option to turn it off and have the client render generic wrecks when large scale fleet performance was an issue.

Probably belongs in the F&I thread but not sure the op has rights there yet

I remember hearing somewhere that CCP is planning to do this. Sorry I don't have any leads yet.

Yes, that was said in the Fanfest. By the CEO.

So to the list: POS revamp, Sov revamp, FW revamp (done), Bounty system Revamp (on the way) , tesselation, Ship re balance (on the way), Ring mining, orbital bombardment (soon TM), new intel tool to replace local,..., More awesome explosions, .... , New Ship wrecks.... cloak hunting ships.... and.... I think that is all...

Please read these!

New POS system New SOV system

More awesome explosions are on the way too, for Retribution (it's in a blog somewhere, but couldn't find it).
