Hello

right now is a good moment to talk about something which bothers me since years...
if you go on a ship preview (same goes for hangar etc) and you want to watch your pretty ship / skin...

there is just ONE light source which you CANT move... so... if your ship happens to have not the best form to use this light, ur are screwed and cant enjoy it in its full glory.

I want be able to turn the ship in the preview or simply add more light sources - so it shimmers ALL AROUND without irritating shadows ( wont turn them off just for a quick look)

So please consider this - in addition to giving us those pretty skins.

i bet my space pants, it will increase sales!


thanks

Had trouble seeing the Nidhoggur SKIN in preview. Racial space color is dark. The standard blue green space in fitting window is much better.

Technically, CCP just needs to add more light sources. A standardized background can have some seriously negative effects. I just want to remind you of some Minmatar Skins (those that are used on Freedom Extension stations, for instance) that turn pink/rosa in certain light settings (or all? I only know that the Freedom Extension station in the Romi system appear pink to me).

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I'll cross post another thread asking for the exact opposite. I think the solution in both cases is a selectable background in previews.
