If we have stars of different colors in systems... why thats not the case on sky? why all stars on the sky have the same color??? Now you jump to white star and end up in system with star of some other color...

Explosion of ships
Wrecks

Stations - BIIIIIIIG for trade hubs and main stations of factions and all other stations make bigger

New POSs - redesign - shields that actually stop shots

Customs Office - that don't look like ugly grey box in the space

Life in EVE (more ships flying around, billboards, satellites, constructions in space, repair drones around the stations, police drones/ships that we see they are scanning our ships, life)

UI - completely NEW - animated - like from trailers

Can you give us that we see celestials in solar system (when i am at planet, I see moons, when i am at moon I see planet, and when I am at space i see closer planets (small but there))

I figure most of you won't like this, but I'll say it anyway...

The shields in EVE don't work like the shields in Star Trek. In Star Trek, the ship is surrounded by a shield bubble. It does not conform at all to the shape of the ship itself.

"The Bird-of-Prey is coming around for another attack run!"
*outside camera shows shield bubble taking hits but no penetration whatsoever*
*inside camera shows bridge rocking violently back and forth ... bulkheads and auxiliary display screens explode ... crew members at those stations fly backwards and lay unmoving*
"Shield status?"
"Holding at seventy percent."
...
Why the hell did those bulkheads and displays explode then? Why are there dead/injured crew members? There should have been no damage to the ship at all from a non-penetrating shield hit. Bothered me then, and still bothers me now.

**Note: Other spaceship shows and movies have adopted this same type of shield bubble thing. Nobody can seem to make a shield that conforms to the ship and that protects the ship until the shields are fully depleted. They really need to work on that...

Anyway...

The shields in EVE actually conform to the hull of the ship. Probably not exactly, but within say ... one meter or so. They have numerous emitters around the hull, bending the shield's protection so that it covers as little extra area as possible. The effects you see for hardeners are shown that way because of the shield conforming to the hull. When a weapon effect hits the shield, the graphics show it hitting the ship because the shield is so close to the hull.

"But what about the 'shield bubble' of POSes" you ask...

The shields of POSes conform to the tower itself, just like they do to ship hulls. The bubble that is projected is simply a barrier to keep unauthorized ships and asteroids/debris out. It cannot block weapons fire, though it does prevent targeting of anything inside the bubble except the POS tower itself.

There -- simple, believable explanations.

Maybe CCP can spruce up the shield hits, hopefully without resorting to non-conforming shield bubbles surrounding ships.

I was told supposedly that the insides of the ship seemed to take damage because the energy feedback from the shields overloaded conduits and stuff. but then again, that is sci-fi.. this is eve.. and eve is real. Oh and btw, the shields of the ancient ships from Stargate conform to the hull, and this makes them more efficient according to the show. but enough sci-fi nonsense, back to the real world!

shield hit effects have been mentioned numerous times here, but i agree that they are something that simply MUST be added.. it'd be so cool to see one side of your ship light up as it dissipates a Tachyon beam laser...

Shield hit effects equal to or greater than this please :D PLEEAASE??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiRXFn8zigA&feature=fvwrel

I still believe the best way to achieve this effect is to make the "shield" effect part of the weapon "hit" effect.

If target takes only shield damage = hit effect 1.
If target takes any armor damage = hit effect 2.
If target takes only hull damage = hit effect 3.

This is actually something I've been giving a lot of thought to. Someone mentioned earlier the ability to lock your camera onto your target at a fixed perspective from your ship. That would be super-handy, particularly in conjunction with a change to the targeting reticle.

Personally, I'd like my targeting reticle to display pertinent information right on it; distance to target, angular velocity, target speed, and a small graphical representation of S/A/H damage. I'd like to spend more time looking at he pretty spaceships and explosions and less time looking at the spreadsheet overview. Color-code the info. If the target is within optimal, the number is green, yellow in falloff and red if out of range. Same thing with tracking. If you can track, angular velocity is gree, otherwise it's red.

Make important information obvious and easy to read.

I like this a lot. While I won't agree completely with everything said here for the sake of "I don't know what can and cannot be done with the new Carbon UI," I agree with the sentiment of "I want to look at ships in space, not my overview." With the new Carbon UI, what I'm really looking for is a way to see all the information I NEED to see while still being able to LOOK at the sexy ships that I'm flying. The overview can certainly give me MORE information, but I should be able to get basic stuff that I need for general combat decisions about targets I have locked without looking at a giant spreadsheet.

That said,. I really like the idea of range, velocities of all kinds, and HP built into the targeting reticle (give the user the ability to decide what they have in the targeting reticle!)

As for cool stuff I'd like to see implemented: I second the POS Shields stopping shots ala shields for Atlantis in Stargate: Atlantis, or the Protoss in SC2.

Missiles do need a lot of love, I'll admit.

I think some stations really should be supermassive. Jita 4-4 should be 3-4 times the size that it is, given how much traffic it has. New model too, don't just size the existing one up. <3

Fancy graphics stuff:

Make different "ship death" animations based on kill weapon. Lasers burn out and leave a melted wreck, missiles leave small debris wreck, etc.

Itano circus for missiles, and visible hardpoints. (Until then, maybe just stick engine trails on missiles for hilarity to tide me over.)

UI Graphics stuff:

More feedback on actions. For instance, if you activate weapons on a target, have that target's brackets and overview flash once or twice, so that we know who we activated on for sure. (Yes, we have the locked targets at the top, but more feedback is always good.) Similarly, if an enemy places a new EWAR effect or something on you, have their line in the overview (and their bracket in space!) blink once or twice.

In the CQ, when double-clicking to move, have a small pulse or something appear on the ground on the clicked destination. Makes it easier to see where you're moving to, and whether you got it right (especially if you're moving across stairs or stuff).

Make some obvious feedback on the capacitor/HP/speed array for certain EWAR. For instance, make the capacitor blink if you're NOS/Neuted, make the speed bar blink if you're webbed.

Put some feedback on the overview for target-based actions (align, orbit, keep at range, etc). So if I'm aligned to or orbiting something, if it's on the overview, put a small icon or maybe change the text color a bit.

Tactical Overlay stuff: Option to show a vector of travel of your currently selected target or currently targeted units (points in their direction of movement, longer = moving faster) and yourself (makes it easier to see your own and your target's headings when zoomed far out). Show a small distance counter next to targeted unit brackets.

Check out one of the later episodes of Space Battleship Yamato season 2 (iirc) where they create a shield like this. Actually watch the whole thing, reminded me lots of EVE when I went back and rewatched it.

Absolutely not. They are sexy now and don't look like trolls. The men deserve to look as decent as the ladies do if not more.

Even Amarrians got an improvement, Gallente and Caldari were always sexiest though and still are.

Weapons "deploying" when you lock someone, not when you come out of warp.

HEAR ME OUT, I'm not like all the others.

If the weapon's deploy animation is shorter than that of the ship's locking time, then it will deploy when you start locking, if not, it will deploy out of warp as usual.

If you have mixed guns (Slap yourself), the gun with the slowest deploy time will be the basis for the above, and if it's too slow, the entire rack of guns deploy, not just the slowest one.

^ How about that?

Although I like the idea, it has a problem. You can't know in advance what target will you be locking, and therefore can't know the lock time. The server cannot compute whether it should deploy turrets after warp or during lock time.
The only solution would be to "speed up" turret deployment animation if it's slower than lock time.
