One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I was expecting to see them for January next year at the earliest, because that's usually how it goes when you want something a hell of a lot.

So your statement just pretty much blew my mind Big smile

Thank you for that link.

Bro fist to CCP Loki for burning the midnight oil for us.

And may I say thank you to the entire art dept. as well.

With the focus on the new Nebulae at the moment, I have to say that is an amazing piece of work.

The content of the video linked above is one of those simple things that brings uncountable new accounts to EVE... and something that bitter vets point to when they want to make their friends understand part of why they play EVE to begin with.

Well done all.

Edit: Here is my official request that the nebulae be named and have that available on the in game map.

Before I forget, to the artist working on the Raven...

I realize that with certain iconic ships you have to stay within certain parameters, and some of the criticism is likely very undeserved. Nobody likes to be judged on their work when it had to be shown half finished.

I did notice some changes in the brief glimpse we saw that should look outstanding, even dynamic, in game... but I have a feeling the true story won't really be told until we have the new textures on her as well.

Your work IS appreciated.

I want to know what camera they are using.
not the fish eye lens, but the camera and lens that shot that gorgeous office interview shot.
is this a pro guy or is it an office hobbyist or semi-pro with a D-5 mkII?

Yes! I definitely want this. It looks like the star map in Dust 514 is going to have exactly what you're asking. I would really like this in EVE, too. Smile

The "new" Raven still looks ugly as all hell. I was really hoping CCP was going to remodel it to the extent that they did with the Scorpion :(

If I understood "Basement Ben" a big part of the new nebula will be the ability to see the nebula of one system from another system. That's extremely cool. It ratchets up the realism a bit, which is always good. Right now each system seems like it exists outside of every other system in the New Eden universe.

Seeing/knowing that your destination is in the direction of "Second star to the right, and straight on til morning" is +cool.



That's the correct understanding :).

oh...and the nebula will be on SiSi next week and we really want your feedback on how they look and feel.

Will there be new nebulae in wormhole space...?

CCP Guard is hawt! The new art department stuff is cool too.

I'd actually be fine with the Raven just getting a few tweaks and an updated poly count. It is already fairly nice looking for a Caldari ship.

The Nebulae are the thing I am most looking forward to though.

I seem to remember a CCP employee saying that a dev had redone the Raven on his own time but that it was too different or something, so it wasn't approved. Can we see that one? Just for curiosity's sake.

On the next VLOG could we get a little more eye-candy to go with the talking? I didn't really learn a whole lot of new stuff about the technology and I was kind of hoping to see a few better examples of the nebulae. I don't fly the Raven on a daily basis, but I couldn't really see a difference in the new design based solely from the off-screen recording either. Maybe do some screen-capturing instead.

to summarize:

  • Less off-screen recordings
  • More specific in the technologies

Tell me that was sarcasm. Likely CCP's excuse if the Raven doesn't change much.

You will never see that Raven.
