Just saw this, the first Minmatar textures have been redone: Core complexion ships, namely Rapier, Claymore, Broadsword, Sabre. White-blueish texture replaced with plain brown.

They look pretty boring now. They're also way too dark and function more as a mirror than anything else, imo.

Just please don't ruin my sleipnir stripes.

Solar sails are still low res as **** though.


Will they V3 all sub capitals for all races? I thought they were doing only caldari/gallente.

The Hyena has been changed and I didn't know it could get uglier. :/

They do seem to look a little different but I doubt they are done because they don't have any faction logos.

confirming that OP is incorrect. sabre is still the same on sisi as it is a ship that i fly. just previewed the others mentioned. those still look the same. does OP have access to something that we don't?

Are you sure? I checked sisi and they looked pretty more high res.



As an above poster said, they probably are not done yet. Indeed there aren't any logos and the solar sails (evident in many minmatar ships) are still low res and look like **** (at least I hope they will update them as well...).

Strange, I had them side by side and the difference was pretty loud. Hoping they're not done also.

anybody who actually plays eve knows that the core complexion ships pick up solar system colors/vary from external lighting more than pretty much any other ships in the verse. OP clearly needs to slow down.

ah that explains it, I'm in minmatar space. the color is pretty much the same as old red backgrounds.So it looks the same. On the other hand the shadows look WAY better, so maybe op is confusing the new look with color changes and shadows.

yeah the shadows are also a possible explanation. i don't keep shadows turned on generally so it's a good point.

yeh, I think they're all still the old textures. Some have serious problems with the new reflected red light in Minmatar space. My huginn and sleipnir look particularly crap so I'm looking forward to seeing the new textures.

Personal opinion, the loki looks best in Lonetrek. This is the nebulae that most people seem to be moaning about changing!

Shame.

Good luck Art devs Big smile

Some models do have a severe reflection problem just from lighting changes on what would be deemed metallic surfaces. They all look like the same dirty hobos on TQ, just sharper. Once updated, you should actually tell the corp color schemes apart with logos like caldari and gallente.
