I love the look of the Primae and Noctis ship designs. The detailing and texturing is superb and they look like actual space vessels. In comparison, the mining barges look very dated and the texturing on them is quite ugly. Even the new strip miner models look better produced. The designs for the mining barge models need an update drastically.

At least they'll get updated textures soon enough. If not with this expansion I am almost certain they will in the next.

The models of the mining barges are fine, there's no need to change them. Update textures, sure, but don't change the model.

CCP is likely going to do a texture overhaul here soon...but there's no reason to add this to the long list of things needing to be fixed....low priority...yes...but not earth shattering.

Papercut list perhaps?

True. I don't disagree with you. But nevertheless the ships look out of date and will look even more so with the new graphical improvements coming up in the winter patch.

This. There's nothing wrong with the ship model itself, it's actually one of the most believable ship designs in the game: it looks utilitarian and basic, the way industrial hardware SHOULD look. A texture reskin wouldn't hurt.

Because it will make the miner's tears that much sweeter?

Because you can't see textures on a cloaked stealth bomber anyway?

Because blowing up prettier shiny things makes life that much more interesting?

Maybe because every God damn item in the game (just about every item at least) requires minerals. Yea, all the Titans and Super Carriers in 0.0? Miners.

Idiot...miners may be the bottom of the totem pole but they are also the foundation of which your precious PvP thrives. Without them you don't have ships to fly or destroy.


I find the miners in null dont give a **** what there ships look like and are slightly more concerned with whats happening in the intel channel as we in nullsec dont give a **** about you self important worms in hsec you make nothing of what we use.

If i want a ship some fittings drones and ammo rigs whatever its made for me in nullsec not by you pathetic little hsec maggots that mine veld all day in safety spending time admiring your little hulks instead of keeping a eye in local

PS. i dont mind miners if they are in nullsec or even low its just you hsec maggots that think your gods gift to eve and the markets revolve around you that are the problem you are fit for one thing in eve and thats to be eradicated.



actualy you use thos goods wath they making ;) all the time ;) almost 90% of trit is imported in 0.0 so you use that ting al lthe time ;) eve when you shot single bullet ;) if you dont wish to use it than you ned mine your self :) but ader ways you wil use it any way veldspar give out to low trit to suport 0.0 and wuld be worth off mining in 0.0 :(

actually Jay Pava lives in nullsec and his only occupation is industry/mining. as i said in the OP - yes i would like to see a mining barge update! i don't look down on other players because i live in null; in fact, high sec players are invaluable to me because i can't be in two places at once. i don't appreciate trolls coming back to my posts and antagonizing the people who actually have something to say; especially from a toon that was activated in september and has never been part of a corp. you have nothing of value to say and your wall-of-text ranting is becoming very boring. please move on.
