Do want.
Especially on the bigger ships, but all ships and/or textured asset in game could use this!

Undocked my Dominix today and the camera was completely zoomed in.

It'd be nice to get an update on this- I heard rumour at FanFest that a HD texture pack was basically ready to go and it was being held up by other department(s) (marketing? monetization?).

I wonder if the stuff they announced about Highwinds is going to have anything to do with it. Lot of content to be shifting around.

the reason this hasnt been implemented...

Standard CCP practice -> the dev teams make stuff with no consistant vision or implementation plan from ccp middle mangement or leadership.

Someone from the leadership team a few years ago probably thought a high res texture pack was cool, so they gave the go ahead for it to be announced at fanfest. Problem was nobody actually thought about how to implement it.

You see this time and time again and its the reason former ccp employess rant about the company. http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/CCP-Reviews-E159347.htm

Leadership has no consistant vision or implentation plan for eve. You can see it in their vision trailers. Every few years its something different and none of them get implemented.

Say what you want about star citizen but atleast there is a guy at the top who has a vision and a multiyear implementation plan.

So yeah hi res textures would be cool but its never going to happen.

I am CEO of a small animation studio for over 12 years now and I know about all the management issues those former employees talk about. In a small company you don't have to deal with hierachies and different type of people. It's more like you have choosen the people you want to "live with" daily.

The pov of an employee concentrating on his tasks, getting paid for this and not caring about the business is totally different then the pov from someone who has to juggle with a growing company and the complexity. I know what I am talking about because I for myself had to decide if I want to go on as a creative or care about politics and business. Both is hard to do and nearly impossible if you want a healthy life.

In most of the cases not the "cool talented people" are owner of a company. Most artists are not able to for many reasons. I know many companies in my business which are successful from the outside view and when you talk to their former employees or freelancers you hear always the same problems. Similar what I read on Glassdoor. But we have to understand that all these guys ranting might never be able to do it better or keep the company alive for a few months. It's all about money at the end and the bigger a company the more egos will be involved. Fact.

It's easy to rant. But it's hard to change or make it better. They should probably be happy "just " beeing employed and not taking care about all this crap what hits you when you start a small business and grow to something big what involves more (strange) people and what runs some kind out of control at the end.

Concerning Star Citizen. Just let us wait how this will end finally. In the beginning it all looks nice, easy and there's one great guy. But one great guy needs more people if things grow. And then he might end up in the same issues every bigger company will experience. Reality.

More high res textures. Planets depress me when I get close.

+1 because shinies!
