While I agree with the opinion that the new explosions are a bit underwhelming, I expect them to look better once we've got the new hull damage effects as well (as shown during fanfest). Also I think seeing wrecks drifting a bit might look awesome instead of having the ship gone within a split second.

Bolded: Yeah, no doubt. I suspect we won't see anything major aesthetically until the V3 and/or DX11 projects are completed. The former will be completed next year. Very exciting. Smile

I thought they were pretty, but WAYYYY tooooo short.

Way too short.

Could possibly use the same animation and just make it last longer? And maybe with a super flashy explosion at the end when a super cap dies. Everyone in system should know a titan just died, and where. It should go supernova.

+1 for this idea

there were a little polished up explosions in a sisi-patch back some time, i think it was the crucible-patch, they never went live for i-dont-know reason.
at the moment its very unsatisfying, a ship with a reactor sized of an atomic plant even for the smallest of ships and when it goes boom it only does "pffffff....."

yes that would be awesome, and make it so everyone in front and behind it gets has much damage has if they where hit by a doomsday to, with a rush of gas and extract materials jetting out of both ends. well id like if you where not at the rigth place while a capital with a DD exploded that you'd probably die for it... or if a capital with a jump drive explodes it makes damage to anyone within a range... and there should be a sure difference between a capital with a jumpdriven and one without (like in colors size and damage serounding gets) and one with a Super capital Capacitor (mother ships and titans) and the ones that have a DD fitted

and maybe make different explosions with armor fitted vs shield fitted ships? ones more electric the other is just melted metals.... think about it to more different explosions you make the more il want to blow every ship up...... maybe it lots of work but every smartbomb explosions are different in some way a bit, lasers amo makes for different colors, thats all im talking about here :) little differences not all ships should explode blue...

I really wish we could get a comment from CCP on this.

Are they unfinished? Or is this what we should expect?

By their fruit you will recognize them.

anything on test servers are unfinished, the MJD just got Nerfed to jump 20km i heard....

anyhow, if its not on tranquility its not confirmed, anything is up to change and if we ***** enough about it they might listen. you know when new explosions for missiles where out in test servers? did they change allot when going on main servers? ya..

Okay I saw the video in full HD and I gotta say I love them. That pressure wave and the spread of debris and dust into a mini nebula was awesome

\o/

Edit: Appears that the Gallente ones are awesome... I've seen some Minmatar ones and they really are kinda meh and over too fast...

I would love to see better or bigger or just more... something... for explosions.

I understand the CCP wants people to be able to have the players do three things at once: Keep their graphics settings at the highest level their hardware will allow, keep effects turned on and keep up a playable framerate even when things get really busy. And I imagine that's why they aren't going over the top with explosions.

Perhaps rather than asking for epic-huge deathstar explosions as the standard, and assuming that anyone with non-top end hardware will just turn them off, we should be lobbying for levels of explosions... Say 'off' for really crappy hardware or huge fights, 'low' like the ones shown here which looks ok but won't nuke your GPU, and 'high' where things look AWESOME.

Yes.. Because the majority of EvE players don't make epic 1600 vs 1600 fleet fights... (That are probably only epic by their names, and will put your hardware on it's knees anyway.)
