I didn't spend all that money on a fancy computer - then only play Eve on it - to have low resolution textures

(Yes, since re-installing Eve recently Steam hasn't even been opened)

It is just not trivial to do, and we need to both investigate and weigh various options for how to deliver it, that require involvement from multiple aspects of how we develop EVE - such as the rendering engine, game settings, launcher and server operations.

We have heard you loud and clear though that this is something players would appreciate - and we are investigating if we can do it and when. You’ll see a devblog about it if we decide to go ahead.

While you're thinking about this please could you consider having an option to download the highres textures in batches? There are still parts of the world where people have monthly bandwidth caps (fairly low ones), so the ability to download them bit by bit over a period of time would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I'm curious, do you have high res textures for other assets such as Nebula and stations?

... And planets and asteroids. Asteroids look like asteriodshaped plastic with small holes, and some planets look very lowres.

Question:

Would such an optional thing also perhaps include by-constellation nebula changes? That would be absolutely fantastic and improve immersion even more.

Hell yes! This would be an awesome feature. As long as it isn't an Nvidia only thing that isSmile

+1 for ships and +1 for better textures for scenery objects like planets etc.

Great idea, let's make this 10 year old game look like it's brand new! Especially when zooming into objects, DX11 flex time.

I would like to clarify, since CCP has a habit of going All-In when it comes to adding new features, that I am all for Hi-Rez textures and graphics, assuming there is an OPTION to turn it OFF.

Just hear me out, CCP...

an OPTION....to ENABLE...or DISABLE...a potentially annoying or buggy feature!

I know this a new concept to wrap your heads around but just bear with us and we can all get through this together.

Trinity all over again. Cool

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
