Just came back from a very long break from EVE Online and found my Nightmare ship looks like this:

Is this part of the updated graphics?Shocked It looks worse IMO...

Before it looks like this:

Yes, it does look like you took a long break. The Nightmare was last visually updated a little over a year ago, and the current look is probably a more accurate realization of the dark, oily surface that was originally intended for it but was hard to realize with our older shader technology.

That said, I'll be sure to pass your feedback along to the team to see if they feel a tweak to the Sansha look might be in order.

The regular Nightmare skin looks great as-is. If they were to tweak anything it should be the victory skin. It really looks like something is wrong with the way they did the shaders for it. You have that weird thin film interference effect on the parts that are still green, and then you have sections that are plain metallic blue. Overall the effect is pretty bad.

Lol the old one, while brighter, looks horrible. It looks like a gun Will Smith used in Men in Black

If I win please Evemail me.

This is intended. Artist imagined it that way. The old one was just a poor implementatiion because of engine deficiencies. You happened to like it, but it was not intended. Lol

Just like this removed feature of every ship skin on every ship. Twisted

Looks like he fitted an aftermarket exhaust and they refused to fix, under warranty, a issue with misfiring due to oil leakage around a seal somewhere. Tho I could be wrong ;P...

Thanks Darwin. I don't like the green-ish oily surface. At first I thought the texture pack messed up.

It was changed a lot longer than a year ago. You can see the updated look as far back as the Incursion trailer in 2010.
