EVE General Discussion

Visual changes to carriers in triage. I don't know what it would be, but that would be sweet. Perhaps if when you rework the carrier models to v3 you'll manage to come up with something. Also, let us give fighters names! (don't know if that counts as visual though)

Oh right, please fix the lights on the thanatos. The one underneath the runway shines through when you're looking from the front which has annoyed me ever since I saw it. You might want to do something to the other light further back too. They look weird.

*bump*

Updated OP as promised.

Any chance we could get some feedback from the current art team...?

What do you mean? Aren't the new nebulae high res already?

Can you please make that camera shake when you are hit???
Anything that make us more engage in the battle - make us feel that we are hit, make us feel the strenght of our weapons.

- Station information in star map takes long time to load (open star map -> move cursor over a system -> try to view station info/agents etc. )

- Difficult to set "Amarr" as destination on star map UI. The "Amarr home system" list overlaps the normal system right click list.

- Currently everything will hide in the bar to the left if you click "minimize", or hide the content only if you double click the title bar. A way to improve the second function can be minimize the window into a floating icon, anyway I have difficulty to click the narrow title bar

- The new necom bar get three levels. "E" -> "Business/Social/XXX" -> "Choose the one you want"
It is not quite efficient since I have to click button for three times for one function. Just put everything into the second level and use "Social" "Business" as separation line would be just enough. And people will probably not need the icons which are already in Necom to show up inside "E" again.

- When offending the law, drones do not automatically shoot the target, even if I have had them ready. It making no sense since I can do it manually.

- It will be sweet if all wrecks in null are blue(free to everyone), it's boring to going around the yellow wrecks, and only the winner can salvage/loot the wreck actually.

If you turn on Camera Shake in the ESC menu, the camera shakes when missiles hit you (or whatever it's currently orbiting). I don't think turrets hit with enough force to shake a drone 1km+ away.

Can we get some sort of effect when a ship's using a MWD? I was thinking a sort of circular/ring-shaped friction effect around the ship (like in this expertly-drawn image), where the microwarp bubble is dragging, or you're half in the warp tunnel...or something.

There may be some 'seeming' issues in your station internal models I often get odd random light effects at certain angles

Not so long ago it was posible to sellect a missile in flight and selct view and you could see it fly toward its target. I think this would be cool to have a s well. Maybe a simmiliar option would be good to have for a torpedo like missile we ought to fly ourselfs via cursor stearing towards a target.

I liked on the new EvE-Dust merge trailer the part were you could see the Fighter-bombers fly out of the drone bay. It would mean alloto to us if we would have the posibility to lock a camera on turets launchers and drone bay during deployment.

Also a small dock undock vid would be neet indtead of a blackscreen.

I agree with the aforementioned prospect of more NPC in space. Factions should have flotilas of warships fly by scout or even cynon in and out, players cant cyno in high sec but Factiosn sure as ehll can in their own space. According at least to the eve videos.

It would be neet to also......

Replace the dull mouse pinter with smt that provides usefull info, like a faint translucent graphic of our shields and armro stats, or vrious info on stuff it hovers on. In general if you have flown a Flight simulator before, you could paradigmatize from how an informative HUD looks like. Plus there ought to be multiple HUD types, for mining as for fighting etc.

Cargo scanners should not look like excell sheets. Maybe make it like a window that projects the targeted ship in x-ray kind of style with a flashlight kind of beam seing through to variosu sectors of the ship with a grude pop up of quantity and type of module-cargo in bay etc.

Agents should be more like avatars in 3d talking and comunicating to us like the interactio we get in clinics in Deus Ex HR.

Phenomena of various sorts should also appear from time to time, like supernovas etc. Scientific vessles not avaialble to us yet and other, maybe even prototypes should be tested in bare sight from npc. All in all we are to freakign alone out there.

Let us shoot on planets and watch what happens. Just for the fun of it. Or moons at least.

Ending this i would like to thank you all for participating to this immense game. My pool of friends now is over 400k strong. you all rock.

Further thoughts might be reexamine the facial handles used for mouth expressions, never been entirely happy with the effects possible, very snarley , difficult to make somone appear happy.

For me the most important are those relatively easy to implement things are:

new UI (those from fanfest are awesome)

let space feel more like real space (look at Black Prophecy - it's just EPIC in that aspect), better textures on planets, better scaling of cosmis objects (planets, sun etc), some cool stuff so every system don't look the same (dual star systems, more dark space, random rare cosmic stuff like asteroids hitting planet and making BIG kaboom, some destroyed planets, random rare phenomenons on skybox like birth of new star), let gamers talk not only about fights but also about environment that they have this luck to observe

make more stations interiors

better scaling (i want to see that i'm flying town size ship not some tiny model trying awkwardly look big)

more civilian life (now it's like only army is in space "honey i'm going for shopping should i take Battleship or Fraighter?" ... )

when making new things make them look modern (good example is Mass Effect style)

new cool, full of bass sounds (when i'm firing 1600mm hotwizer i want my neighbors know that, and when firing rails etc i want some freaking cool modern sounds not some pff pff ... good example of cool sounds is Javelin Sniper riffle from Mass Effect 3

Summarizing, all that is for more climatic game world, let be honest now to feel some good strong climate you need to play some in game tracks (classics), don't get me wrong i love EVE, and i think it has the biggest potential of all games of all times, but in that moment it lacks that modern feel, strong climate and deep fascinating world like in Mass Effect games (sory for that comparison again, and for my English - not native language).
Just please consider some of things that not only make mechanic gameplay better, more serious but add deep feel of game world

EDIT >>> Wasn't be awesome to get some more differentiation with stations? I mean instead of one station, fragment them in some systems to several space buildings every one specialize in one type of action, and between them some bilboards, fancy Las Vegas lights, neons, civilian ships floating, something like big futuristic town in space... pure awesomnes


Caldari space town anyone?
