This is what feedback I have to offer on the Rorqual's V3. It's still very too glossy. I'm not sure if this is some side effect of how complex the Rorqual's model is or what, but the thing looks like it was dipped in some sort of high gloss solution. It's SUPER shiney, which ends up looking a bit silly.

Also, for the Erebus and Ragnarok - are there plans to add visible turret slots like on the Avatar? I looked on the other two turret titans but did not see any special places. Will the Phoenix and Leviathan get special launcher spots, or no?

maybe it is an anti-static coating that repels the dust created from compressing ore?

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

I agree with the too much gloss. I looked through all the models when they were released and the Rorqual now looks like it's made out of polished nickel. CCP should defiantly tone it down a little. Maybe closer to the original, save the high gloss for the golden pod.

Literally all of the V3 models looks like sugar cans fresh from the oven. Give it up already, it's a new EVE trend - "toys for kids".

If anyone here has used Photoshop before some of the V3'd Capitals (*cough* Chimera *cough* Wyvern *cough*) look like someone used the Plastic Wrap filter.

I will agree it looks a lot more "shiny", but the look of it dose need an update, but that's just my opinion.

Agreed, and it seems some of the newer additions to the V3 line up are a bit TOO fresh off the production line.... The apoc navy issue (and to a lesser extent, the standard apoc) looks like it has had its superstructure pallet wrapped! the levels used on earlier V3 ships such as the dragoon and maller are much more appealing to the eye.... :( Hopefully this will be rectified before odyssey goes live..

It's pretty glossy, yeah.

Yeah, I think the gloss is way overdone as well.

Looks fine to me. I like the Rorqual being shiny; it's a corporate command ship, it should be kept clean.
