So it's been 3 or so years since i've played, but in the past 3 years have any of the older mining ships (Exhumers and such) been given a visual upgrade at all?

Aka v3 upgrade OR Mining Visual effects (lasers and such)


This is not counting the new frig btw which I do know about.

Thanks!

They've been revamped, but haven't received any visual upgrades.

I thought all Ships have been V3'd with new textures and such? (besides just a few)

The retriever was gold plated for a few days.

I took a look at them yesterday actually, and the textures def. look wayyyy better from what I remember. For example the old hulk used to look like it had some really old poor resolution texture stretched over it.

I think all the ships except the super caps have gotten updates. And I remember the golden retrievers.

Pretty sure the ORE mining ships were the first to get V3ed.

I guess I was mistaken. I had been under the impression that the barges and exhumers had only been revamped, but hadn't yet had any visual updates. I guess non-miners shouldn't be commenting on mining ships, eh?

Your precious ******* barges/exhumers got a major internal overhaul with giant tanks, oreholds and whatever else the tear stained cheeks of miners pleaded for...

Now you want pretty too?

I guess there is just no pleasing you.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Mining lasers/strip miner effects where also changed a while back (might have been around the turret revamp). The effect is now a combination of both mining (gold/firing ma lazor) and (one presumes) tractor beams (blue-ish). Unfortunately, at least from my point of view, they chose to make the blue beams more dominant than the traditional gold. Mining drones still have the full on gold beams though. =)

They should redo the models completely, do them from scratch.

Give it to the 3D artist(s) that did the Venture and Primea/Noctis.

The old barge designs were stupid bad from the beginning, giant gears and rockers/pistons moving in and out.... DIAF!
