These are cool and all, but isn't CCP just wasting artistic manpower by creating high quality static wreck models?

I was under the impression that a new physics engine would be replacing ship wrecks are we know it, allowing them to break apart on the client side and each be unique little snowflakes? And didn't we just upgrade to DX11 for this very reason?

Implementing these into the game seems to directly contradict that effort. If it has taken them this long to get so far on the issue of space ships exploding in a more pleasurable fashion, why stick a rock in their own shoes by draining this much artistic resource on something temporary unless they have no plan on making the new explosion effect at all?

Speaking of, CCP should change corpses in space. If you use an overwhelming amount of firepower, or strike the pod a certain way, we should see floating body parts and maybe some pod goo. If you strike just right, a corpse may remain. This could have an interesting effect on the market for corpses.

Tessellation along with High Res ship models CCP has and refuses to release them to the paying customer. Even though we've been begging for it for years now!

Their excuse is "we don't want to."

I run this game just fine on a Pentium 4 I don't plan on upgrading any time soon.
Statics are good enough for everyone.

It's great that you're a dinosaur and all, but the point of having a client side effect is that it can be toggled on and off without effecting the core game itself.

And let's face it old timer, even these new capital wrecks are probably a little beyond your rigs full comprehension. You would've been better off with the current one.

Not sure if serious, but damn that's old. Can still run EVE though!

...that said, they add this new shiney crap and still haven't changed the cyno icons? Welp, damn.

I call Bullshit!

EVE Online uses 14GB of HDD space.

Unless you're running Windows XP, I don't see you using 768MB of RAM.

I'll have you know pal that I have a 1Mbps connection via DSL

And to answer another point the HDD is apparently much larger than the HP sticker implies, it has 280GB free currently.

This thread is amazing. I think it may be the coolest thing since sliced bread. I can understand many of the player base having low end specs. Also I beg to differ that "Its people like you that keep others from having nice things, or fiberoptic connections in the US." Not everyone has money and the large part of EVE-Online's player base that have low end specs and cannot afford newer hardware are not in the United States. This game is international. For example I know many players in "developing countries".

Also in regards to Fiber in the United States it is not due to "poor people". It is because of something that happened in the 2000's resulting in telecom companies getting screwed after taking government loans to update infrastructure then getting screwed as the dollar lost value. The fact that the United States has a lot of landmass, being a large country, which means that upgrading infrastructure is a very expensive, very large task. that requires government assistance... resulting in the new infrastructure being "dated" by the time it is widely available to the general public. In fact in the United States it requires the federal government to pass regulations requiring infrastructure to be updated by telecoms more or less by force. You also a republican?

These peopel are still far etter than the ones that spend 10K US$ in their computers, then make pirate copies of the games becaus the "games are too expensive".

You just made not one, but two generalizations on groups of people based on their rigs, and did it in a way that would make my four year old cousin look clever, i'm not even going to bother going into details or argue about this, it's just astounding people like you remember to breath without thinking hard.
