I am a new player (a few months).
I really like the aesthetic side of EVE and its design ... but frankly I do not understand one thing:

but the ships of the Caldari will be updated soon?
I read that they already had restyling V3 ... what?

1) the detail of polygons on Caldari ships is abominable ... very few polygons

2) the details of the texture (Raven, Black Bird, Moa, Kestrel, etc..) Is obscene ... textures are in very low definition ... spread as in the first games of 1998!

3) complete (or almost) lack of lights (headlights and points)

This is not a flame ... just one question ... when will be updated in the TECHNIQUE Caldari ships?


thanks, fly safe!

Ummm... they already have.

The only things that haven't been given the new V3 textures are capital ships, stations, and gates.

How did you Veterans start?

have you see the raven or the kestrel?

raven have colorfull pixel.... not a texture.... the new Minmatar ship or the new gallente megathron are both V3 ship.... the raven isn't a V3... that is impossible.

Note that in a place like space, where there is almost no object occlusion and everything is usually far away, there is not really any point of having uber-high resolution textures. Having them gives the gain of being able to zoom into your ship to the exclusion of anything else going on, for the price of much higher graphics load when zoomed out to see more objects at once. In a game where split reaction times are important (especially in PvP), I'd rather have the latter than the former.

Unless of course, they were smart and only had your own ship load high res textures. You know, the thing you spend the whole time staring at.

Or even better.. make it an option. You know, so people with slow computers aren't punished but people with nice ones can enjoy eye candy.

There's a "look at" button. People would complain about others' ships not being rendered high res next.

Increasing program complexity and maintainability -- plus having to spend man-hours on this both in the art and coding department to make it happen in the first place -- is a bad idea.

Here's the OLD Raven just so you know how bad it really was before v3 http://www.nethertek.com/images/raven.jpg

Soon as V3 is done they're going go go ahead and move onto the V4 project. It was green lit last time I was told about it and if you don't have a dx11 compatible card you may want to start saving for a device or card that is.

V4 sounds like its going to take full advantage of tesselation and work up the models to further enhance the effect.

Current Items left on the V3 list are...

Capital Ships
Stations
Star Gates
All other stellar objects

The Caldari ships have already had the V3 retexturing, but the new textures for Ishukone ships look horrible. Seriously, a gradient color throughout a ship? Who thought that was a good idea? They look like your graphics card is glitching.

I know, some parts of those old textures really look like they've been painted with a wet sponge or a diaper. I'd really like some higher res textures for space ships in general but for some caldari ships (Raven) in particular.

The Moa still looks like a mutilated cybernetic slug btw.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

The real travesty was when the V3'd the Federation Navy Comet from this beautiful Police Ship with flashing light:

Into this moldy looking travesty with no flashy light:

I stopped using it just because I hate bad graphic design.
