The Art department has been busy at work bring an even newer coat of paint to every ship in the game. But at the same time, they've been working to cover them in layers of certified Minmatar dirt. If your ships looking good is something you hold near and dear to your heart, you should read this dev blog by the illustrious CCP Antiquarian.

IMHO the old looks better. The new looks dirty (to me).

The first set of sliders indicate what a ship could look like if they were as dirty as we possibly allow, not as they will be on release. The second set of sliders are the comparative V5 vs V5++ images.

Will there be a ship-wash station service?

Some of the images are not loading for me. Everything under: "Below are a few examples of ships going from 0% dirt to 100% dirt"
For example:

We aren't enabling ships to get dirtier... yet. As we mentioned in the Fanfest panels, it's definitely something we'd be interested in.

There seems to be an issue with certain browsers, are you using Chrome perchance?

The V5++ shader update should improve the look of both "High" and "Medium" shader settings. If you can currently use "High" settings, you should still be able to do so after this update. :)

Positively gorgeous. Great work.

However, I am somewhat saddened by the (once again) exclusion of T3 cruisers, since these are some of the primary ships I fly.

Legacy code (or rather, legacy graphics?) is a pain.

Chrome and Firefox do nothing for me on Windows 7

So since you changing all textures in the game, what will happen with old obsolete textures in cache after Carnyx?
Do you have automatic cleaning mechanism implemented for occasion or we have to invoke "rescache purge" manually (and non-technical users will enjoy 3-5 Gigabytes of extra data)?

T3 Strategic Cruisers are something of a special snowflake in EVE, so it will require some additional development attention to update them. However, we are well aware of their importance and they'll be incorporated into future releases as we apply V5++ to more assets.

Does not matter, the browser can't even get the file.

I intend to make every effort in this matter.

Good Job GFX team, real good job.

Can't wait to have those clean ships remapped.
Can't wait either to be able to clean my ship after a few fights. :)

Now go redesign Osprey !! Hurry up !! :D

For the moment, you will have to use the rescache purge.

We are working on a better system for this.

Edit: I posted the same thing as CCP Maxwell. Here are instructions to purge the resource cache.

Bugreport.

the link to this article on the launcher opens in Internet Explorer, even though a different browser is setup as default. The link below it to the AT XIII signup opens in Firefox just as at should.

Is this functioning in this way with some purpose?
