EVE General Discussion

Engine trails in warp. Engines are in afterburner/mwd mode while warping so why not show the trails very long. This could be pretty see an endless streak behind you adding to the feeling being very very fast.

The model preview background for ships should be the same for turrets. That "virtual hologram" style background that appears in turret preview is awesome.

I would like to see some standard to certain looks of ships. (Like what you did with the Tech 2 ships.)

But the biggest visual "concern" from me, apart from all the mentioned stuff above is that ORE doesnt seem to have a consistent design;

For example; (Will make 3 "look" category`s wich are my own view and thus not represent other people.)

"The ORE Look"
Rorqual, Noctis and Primea; seem to be having a look fitted to ORE and how Industrials should look like.

"The dull look"
Mining Barges and Exhumers; Does not seem to fit the design filosophy of the Rorqual and Noctis/Primea.

"The ORE/DCM look"
Orca; a bit of a weird guy, as it is a joint venture of DCM and ORE; but still it just doesnt have a "ORE-Feel" to it. As its based upon its bigger brother the Rorqual, wich looks like a mobile refinery. Dont know how ships of DCM look like but it just doesnt feel like it fits to someone.


So in short words; make ships in a way you can see "Ow thats an ORE ship." hell, DCM may be a bit small but give them some industrial ships, like mining frigates/cruisers/battlecruisers/small freighters.

This!!

The proteus's Augmented Plating subsystem model should be swapped with the Warfare processor model

Watching this link is what I yearn for Eve to be like. look at the free movement, amazing graphics on the explosions and ammo, the amazing sound, the fast based turns thats how a battle in space would be like and should be like. Right now Eve is severely lacking in general gameplay, its no longer fun to play Eve for me when I can play games like Heroes of newearth which requires immense skill, timing, knowledge, teamwork, reaction time. I mean Eve is cool but seriously who wants to watch a ship in 3rd person shoot missiles by hitting 1 button and then watching as the game does everything for you. Not only that but missile launchers dont even come out of the ship, and the missiles just kind of appear and go towards their target. If you want a massive audiance make your game play like this video.

How about missiles actually coming out of launchers instead of the middle of the ship?

Add in the problem of suns flashing and causing your screen to go totally white intermittently.

Crazy annoying and gives headaches at night. It's like having someone flash a camera in your eyes over and over again.

It's an old graphics issue, but it got hella worse when Crucible launched for some reason. Nearly every system does it now. Updated drivers, cleared cache...still no luck.

So I spent a good part of yesterday helping a corp mate take out a few Interbus planetary things...whatever they are...I don't care...I don't use em. Anyway...while watching one explode I noticed that it started by showing large explosions occuring on the station and spreading...it was looking really cool until...POP! Station gone...nothing...no debris, no more fire....just pop. It was like having your orgasm cut short because your mom walked in on you.

Make explosions for both stations and ships cooler.

Also...whats up with the little sight seeing stuff in empire? I saw a "Ship Graveyard" in some random High sec the other day and thought it would be awesome to check it out and see the "thousands of ships" that it describes when you initiate warp to it. Nope...it was one giant oversized, larger than a titan ship that looked more like a shuttle for some race of giants the size of battleships wrapped around a single asteroid. Thats it...I took pics...it sucks. It doesn't even fit in the EvE universe...
