  • New nebulae


  • V3 textures


  • remodels of existing ships


  • engine trails


  • 4 new tier 3 BCs


  • and the new racial captains quarters.


You have to hand it to the man with the funny accent his team have really gone above and beyond this time: It's all looking eye meltingly gorgeous.

Lets hope the game design team can equally step up to the plate with the mechanics of the game. The gauntlet has been thrown down.

No no no. They haven't gone "above and beyond", they've just actually done their job for once instead of working on other games.

Just think, Incarna was supposed to be one hell of an Art expansion too.

Wait until it hits TQ before you get any of your hopes up. You know this company can't deliver.

Confirming no matter what ccp do people will whine and complain, splerging horseshit and generally trying to feel important.

Personally, I love Eve.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

If he's also the guy who is responsible for

*gallente navy ship skins
*bland as hell character designs
*removal of the pleasure hub
*the revenant

then he can suck a big fat one.

Maxim 6. If violence wasn’t your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

  • New nebulae - That are region wide and only change from region to region, not by constellation, or system to system


  • V3 textures - That eat more VRam and actually provide less reflections (due to things like star colour, old nebulae backgrounds being removed)


  • remodels of existing ships - Like the ugly new Navy Comet, with camo skin (Camo has been flamed for years....so he expands on it duh...) and no police cherry.


  • engine trails - That should never have been removed in the first place, and new ones that actually look worse than the old


  • 4 new tier 3 BCs - Designed by players


  • and the new racial captains quarters. - Months behind schedule and a functional dead end

Big smile

I suppose so, if he were trying really hard to ignore the vastly overwhelming improvements these updates are also bringing.
