You're forgetting that these aren't just capsuleer ships. Otherwise you wouldn't see NPC versions of the starships.

The versions we purchase are modified versions to support our capsule technology (at a much higher cost) but can be crewed normally, if necessary. Depending where you're from in New Eden will depend on how you crew your starships, however the larger they come the more crew the ship will require.

As I am Caldari, I prefer to employ crews on my many starships. You'll never find unemployed orphan citizens in the State!

Here's an EVElopedia article regarding crews, if anyone's interested: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/New_Eden_crew_guidelines

btw out of interest. what do you mean by linear lighting model? It can't mean phong shading since the old model was already looked like it had linear interpolation for the surface normals.

OK, maybe Im losing my mind or Im getting used to it but the models look better after today's patch?

Love the new more logical linear light system (parts of ships are dark where they should be dark, etc). But, I find the new Creodrone and ORE ships (Orca, Rorqual) are far too baby blue for my liking. The Creodrone ships especially used to be a menacing, dark, black-green. Now they are light blue.

^this

My Crane looks bad.

Is venture T2 version model shot relevant to the thread? http://i.imgur.com/U0AaJZu.jpg Looks very nice.
Is it what the "Prospect" placeholder for. Is it covops cloakable?

Was the color-change of the Kronos part of this Linear Lightning?
I think the color is way too greenish since Rubicon 1.3, or is this just me? Maybe I missed something?

Its great if you improve the lighting, support new shader models etc, but it was fine before. Letting us walk around in our ships would be a real improvement, rather than endless re-color, re-texture, re-light of inanimate functionless bricks.


Many ships are too brightly or garishly colored / patterned. And what's with all the desert camouflage in space???

Where is the simple elegance of the greenish black Khanid Navy omen?


Why can't the curse have that excellent shiny black anymore? It was the coolest looking ship in the game.


Why do T2 Amarr pilots have to suffer from the most horrible metallic color possible, hovering between pink and faded out red...?



Every retexturing improves some crappy textures and at the same time eliminates some of the best textures there were.


I shudder to think when someone is going to mess with the perfect black on the Navy Megathron and give it some children's birthday party colors instead.


With the harsh, directional light in space, ships shouldn't be lit evenly bright. It breaks immersion.

Hi all,

We are in the process of dealing with each ship on a case by case basis. We have fixed Carthum Conglomerate ships and are looking at the issues related to the Tengu and Amarr ships in general. Please submit a bug report if you feel that your ship is now unacceptably different.

Regarding drone bays on the Algos and other ships: Are people experiencing this on a Mac or PC? We are looking in to the causes on the Mac but have not seen this on the PC client.

Capt Saber: The only time we've seen the issue that you have reported is when the user is running legacy hardware. In your instance are you running an ATI Radeon X1000 family card or similarly aged piece of Hardware?

Thanks all for your continuing patience and support,

Sledgehammer.

Confirming that drone bays and blinking lights are not working on Mac clients. Particularly disappointing with the Police Pursuit Comet...
