I think the state of the explosions in EVE are terrible as it is (IMO)
Will they be improved in another graphic update?

I don't like that a massive structure or ship turns into a tiny little spiked explosion.

Does anyone else share my view on explosions?

I actually want them to bring back the blue blobs of joy we used to have.

Definitely not Jason Marshall.

I believe they said they are working on it. Making it so that explosions are prettier, and when a big ship explodes, it actually fractures and dies instead of just a poof and leaving twisted metal.

There was some talk about it during the E3 convention. You have to watch for a bit but the new explosions are included in there.

Winner winner Chicken Dinner!!

E: Yea CCP Mannapi talks about it at around 2:45

One of the recent videos had new explosion videos in it. Don't want to watch them all to find it, but it's on youtube.

...

It's the one above this comment... also there's the shattered ships from fanfest.

To be honest, I don't like the new explosions in that video. They're too much like the new missile explosions and don't have the concussive power that the old one used to.

I want to see something like how ship explosions were in Homeworld 2, where when a large ship dies, you see a series of secondary explosions all over the ship, then one big boom. That or explosions that have been done in some of the videos CCP has released, like the carrier exploding in the Dominion trailer, or the Minmatar fleet getting exploded in the Empyrean Age trailer. Basically, the larger the ship, the more secondary explosions you get and the longer the ship takes to go critical.

Damn I want to play HW2 again lol.
