Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Here's the thing, I say I like the new stuff more, you say you don't. Who's right, who "wins"? Currently the vast majority of the playerbase thinks the graphical and design changes are improvements and should stay.

Without an overwhelming support on your side, you will never get any of these changes reverted. I could also ramble on about how stagnation is a disease and changes, even bad ones are GREAT and are the engine of progress; but clearly these ideas would bounce off you.

Also, your spelling is crap. If you want to sell an idea, at least try to write properly.

Because everything in your post isn't a complete waste of development time.

Can you people just let this thread die already.

i still want to see, how the old turrets looks on the tier 3 battlecruisers and tier 2 destroyers

thanks for the hint in to post stuff like this in the testserver feedback, before it is on TQ. Next time i will do this, if i dont like something. but back then, as i saw the video about the new nebulaes and turret modells, i did not came earlier to the idea, to open up a thread in the testserver feedback. i know, its now over 2 years ago, as the turret got changed. the three big things in this thread( nebulaes, turrets and missilelaunchers) are those, wich me let wine. the rest is just small stuff. i also got contacted by a dev in spring last year and told me, that it may takes too long. (years and more).

What i want with this thread is not to say, that the new stuff of CCP is crap. they did realy great things i like (V3 textures for ships, algined stargates and the ship rebalancing...) all were good stuff. i mean, also the new nebulaes did really took long to make, (video came out in march 2011 and it were on tq in december 2011.

what i want, is just an option to turn off the new nebulaes/turrets/missiles. i found, the old looked better. and as a poster saied, he want to see, how the new ships will look then (me too). i dont want to talk the work of CCP bad, it is all fantastic, what they do. but there are always peoples, wich dont like something (like the jukebox and static plex thread, that is now going for almost 8 months.). And my idea is, as i sayd years ago, to NOT REMOVE the new ones, just to add an option in General settings, to switch to the old nebulaes etc... but the new ones stays standard settings for new players or if you cleaned all settings. And i also not believe, that it takes soo long to get that back, they have evry bulid saved to test. so it may takes a few days to get it back and may one to two weeks for testing.

do you read, what the thread says? i wrote, to add an option in general settings, to swich between old and new stuff, i dont want it to roll fix back to 2008. just with settings. and it stays at 2013

Do you read it as well?

• There was a Dev telling you, why it is not feasable to support two completly different sets of digital 3D assets
• There were numerous People before and after that, telling you the same thing

Why do you think you will get somewhere with this?

I am not sure CCP would do it, if they could, but they simply CANNOT. The new V3 hulls and the old assets are not compatible. The new warp effect etc. is not compatible to the old nebulas etc.

If you would just implent a switch to turn the old things back on, you would not see have Attac BCs as there are simply no models for them.

And they will not put any developer hours into this, as they see it as a step backwards. They had the two sets of assets back with I think it was Trinity, and it was a bad idea. The game pretty much stalled asset wise.

Why in the name of the goddess do you think this thread could get somewhere?

yes please,i hate the new gun sounds/visuals,fitting screen and many others.autocannons have a poor visual grap,and most of the time i barely even notice they firing.

the old missiles explosion were way more violent and pleasing to watch. (torpedoes huge explosion radius effect,rockets with the bright lights etc)

the system nebulas where far better than today

the old fitting screen from 2008 i think,was the best one i ever seen in all the years of playing.

stargate sound,the visual graphics when using it.

jump drive visual (2008)


tbh the new stargate efect that game with oddysey is nice...for 2-3 times,then it becomes absolutly frutrating and theres no way to remove.

Please, bring that stuff back. I like to see the Aprocrypha starfield once more. and how the old turrets looks on the new ships.

minimize Windows to bottom? sounds nice, maybe i will add it to the thread
