New station interiors

(Speaking specifically of the Amarr stations as I haven't had a chance to check the others out yet)

Do they have to look so bad up close? That's the gist of my thought anyway. Basically, it looks like the texture resolution hasn't changed at all. They've just added a little more complex geometry and modified the textures a bit to match and made everything a LOT brighter. With the old textures the low resolution wasn't as obvious because the entire scene was much darker including all the highlight area's. Now with the new textures highlights are coming through looking like bright white lego's. It's really disturbingly pixelated.

I realize it's no more so than it was before, as I said it doesn't appear the res has changed at all. In fact it looks like some one just took the old textures into photoshop and changed a few details and cranked up the brightness. But with that increased brightness all those ugly blocky area's just become MUCH more apparent.

It's not so bad if you're in a larger ship but when you are in a frig and zoomed in even at default zoom it's like your ship is docked in lego land.

Any chance that can get improved before they (interior changes) go live? It's just god awful ugly. I've been thinking more and more lately that I'd rather just have an option for a blank background when in station anyway. (An idea brought up due to the removal of the load environment option)

It's meant as a fresh look for older pilots, I think it's a nice change of view, rather than having all station environments looking way too similar. Though I agree when you're in a smaller ship, even a cruiser, everything seems very pixelated.

In all honesty, this game could do with a graphical update, or a separate client/launcher like they had in the previous years. I wonder if anyone remembers the standard & premium graphics packs, they should do that again.

Something that makes the issue worse is they ate all too bright so it let's you see all the bad. But this also leads me to belive that the shades ate not done and that's the main issue so by TQ i hope it's looking better

Its not the keepstar one that looks bad, go dock in a normal station, or the smaller citadels..since the smaller citadels just use * old* station interiors. The * old* interiors now look even older and even worse!
