The cloaking effect looks decidedly 2D?

This effect is most obvious when the ship rotates due to changing course.
When viewed against a light background such as a nebula (as opposed to a black area of space) it looks very unfinished.

e.g. undock, zoom in on your ship and fly away from a bright nebula.
Rotate your camera so that you're now looking at your ship flying towards you with the bright nebula as the background.
Click in space on the bright nebula background and watch your ship rotate while its cloaked.

The hexagons don't actually move with the ship model, its like the ship outline is a 2D cookie cutter window through which a hexagonal cloaked pattern can be seen, making it appear that the hexagons are stationary in space, despite the ship rotating!!!

Worst still, while flying along cloaked, the hexagons will sometimes revert to the initial large hexagons that have no attempt at 3D ness at all and are merely plonked on the 2D ship outline, before they shimmer and revert to the smaller hexagons.

I have viewed this in DX9 and DX11 and there's no difference that I can see, so presumably this effect was intentional.

Anyway all these 2D effects on a 3D model is making me nostalgic for Blake's 7...........I must go and watch an episode.

On the plus side, the new wormhole colours look very nice, and some of the nebulas in the C3s and C4s look stunning.

audio slider for the cloaking please.. so LOUD!!!

also since the cloak now has a cooldown timer showing around the module can we have the same for the micro jump drive modules pleaaaase!!

edit: oh appearently it has. i should have checked with my golem beforehand.. oops

New meta module naming system is immature and childish. It looses all of it's SciFi depth.

Yes I'm sure all module will be renamed in this crappy way

ample 425mm rail gun - next ?

Ample heavy missile launcher - next ?

I have never played a game in all my gaming history with such crap module names -

I do not think it is ample enough that you rename all the modules- with such words - i will be unsubcribing all my 8 accounts if this goes on.

To play a proper game with module names

I'm English and i do not like how you have closed down all the other language channels ether - this social game - let ppl speak in the native languages and let them have there own rooms

There should be some concord boost as well to allow miners to be somewhat safer for mining against being attacked by CODE. they are exploiting the rules of engagement as well as several other rules they are breaking. I guess all I am saying make a mining barge with capital shields, armor, and hull to give miners a boost against gankers while concord demolishes them and we can just laugh, but there is no patch on pvp at all.

Are you serious? Concord is not there to protect it is there to police up and revenge on out of control capsuleers that are treating things as mere tools for mayhem and murder.

Other than that you want a higher buff.....get A FREAKING ORCA, or a commad ship and provide the boosts nessecary for better defense for your fleet.

Or better yet get your fluff stuffed head out of your fluff stuffed carbear hole....back up your corp mates, get a combat ship or two....or make (force) your carebears to mission, practice fleet ops, and as in RL.....if your not willing to defend what you own or yourself....then you pretty much do not deserve it and have to follow the wishes and lead of others.

Besides....the drones bonuses with procs or better yet skiffs....have been turning these ships into PVP craft.

Adapt, or die.

I won't debate nit-picking here, my point is the same.
The Skiff is an assault-class mining ship.

Look at this guy's KB:

Think he's worried about gankers?

Sound slider for the new cloaking sound effect please, I can barely hear anything else!

This is the exact update that I was afraid about. Let me explain.

CCP stated that they wanted to go to a new dynamic way of delivering content. Each new patch was gonna be something cool and we could look forward to it!

Is this something I got excited for?

My answer is no.

The reason being is that I feel as if CCP is using these new patches as sort of an excuse for underdelivery. They don't want us to see that they can't deliver on material every 6 months so they try and dupe us into thinking they are doing something by releasing minor patches and updates every 6 weeks, in the hopes that these patches will placate us.

EVERYTHING in this patch, should have already been in the game. I don't mind UI updates, but ffs release some sort of content. What is the actual content here, besides the module tieracide?

CCP is going to continue to release these kinds of contentless updates because we accept them.

Here is my take on the update:

1. The most major update imho: The cloak effect. This thing is cool in theory, and I like that they are trying something new with it. But it is way over the top and looks silly. When cloaking a cap, the light is blinding and too blocky looking.

2. Module tieracide. Cool, I'm glad you are doing this. However, It feels rushed and given about 30 minutes of thought between sobriety and a vodka and cigarette infused stupor. Like... when someone was taking a morning-glory dump and thought "hey, we'll call it this!" Then get drunk and remember about half of that thought.

3. UI updates. Cool, this should have already been in. I like them buuuuuut you seriously just utilized an ENTIRE update to launch your proposed UI updates!? Stuff that wasn't really that big of a deal in the first place? Minor QoL improvements that I personally feel as if they should have already been in the game.

4. Notifications. Thanks for delivering these on time...... "will be enabled a few days after the patch."..... lolwut? yeah sarcasm doesn't translate well on internet. my bad

5. Interceptor changes Meh. Since we're on the subject of ship balances. I'd like to see an orca fit strip miners. Or I'd like to see a mothership get bonuses to capital turrets. That'd be dope right?

Basically, I feel jipped and that this is the kind of update that insults the players. All the money that gets put into this game? Get your priorities straight and deliver us some damned content. Freshen this game up, enough of the baby steps, enough with not delivering content. Start addressing the real problems with this game. This update is not acceptable. I'm not quitting, I'm going to continue to play and fund this game because I've seen this company do some fantastic things. I will be more vocal about my thoughts, because I see this game going in the wrong direction.

Wow, new paint jobs on ishkur / ishtar / sin look like crap!!! Gimme back the Black that was so cool about them...

Old topic:

Afterburners use more cap

Edit:

Appears as if it may have just been a EFT bug.
