1) Space is pretty clean

2) Ships have shields, nothing much is going to touch the hull

3) Armour Repairers (and lots of other Eve-tech) work via nanbots, ergo, why would there be scratches?

Why isn't EVE like the real world. Where to start... I wont bother.

But I do agree that the ships do have a plastic look to them. Kind of makes some of the ships look a bit dull. But I guess it will help with other things. Maybe things like corp logos on ships.

I wish the shine was a bit better. Eg. The chrome on Myrmidon and Sin is nice and shiny on TQ but the new one is just dull.

The Drake looked awful IMO because it had random battle damage on it right from when it was first assembled. I can no longer see that random battle damage on the V3 Drake. I'm not a fan of flying things that look beat up and used, so honestly, the fact that Caldari and Gallente ships all look "plastic" as you say (really more just metallic but not beat up) is a great thing for me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

The ships look plastic. Pull out an Anathema, it looks like rubber. The Gallente frigates are lunch boxes. Fly a Maulus around; it's like a big Gumby.

The new skins look technically better. Cleaner, sharper. But the texture (as in, to the touch) of those new skins looks worse on many ships. The Anathema especially has really shot to hell a lot of my joy in the game; I play for the cool looking ships more than most I think.

The Gallente shuttle... sigh. :( Look at the Tristan.. what a nerf. :( Again, technically it is better. But aesthetically it looks like a chew toy.

The Amarr haven't been re-skinned.
And with two races subcaps, and all caps to go. I don't think lighting and reflection are finalized tell a good overview of all art is on the table.
The local nebula color effects are still being tweaked I'm sure and with TQ feed back from the masses will likely alter things down the line.

You completely invalidated your post by complaining about the Anathema. One of the coolest ships in the game. Nothing will make you happy so perhaps it is time to pack it in.

While that might be true, I doubt they will leave as much as a dent as my Pulse Lasers.

In fact, I should open an EvE ship remodelling service. I absolutely guarantee your ships will not look either plastic or shiny when I am done.

Muhahahaha... hahaha...

I for one would be slightly concerned if after a full cycle of armour repair my ship still had scracthes.

Also, have you ever looked at a gas turbine blade? To obtain high strength and the ability to withstand ridiculous temperatures (your car engine would vaporize if subjected to some of the temperatures high-end jet engines reach), components are composed of a single metal crystal. There are no scratches and from far enough away they do look like plastic.

I don't see why space-age technology would go backwards. And no, i don't consider Minmatar "space-age."

Oh and furthermore, there is no point in painting spaceships. They used to paint the external fuel tanks on the space shuttle until someone pointed it it served no purpose and added several hundred kilograms.

The players of Winmatar Online disagree.

WHY WON"T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!
