Are Minmatar getting the last look at V3 textures? I noticed as well that all of the new battlecruisers had their textures finished except the Tornado. Just wondering if this is because Minmatar are hard to apply the V3 project to, or is it only that Minmatar is the last race that will be V3'd

Every patch I load up the client and the first thing I do is check for V3 Min textures. I take it the Firetail is not V3?

You should see a massive update in the Tornado after the next Singularity update. Big smile

Awesome! I'm looking forward to the direction you guys are taking in the Minmatar textures.

Will Minmatar and Amarr textures be released on TQ at the same time as the Gallente and Caldari ones?

If not then when are they planned?

if I was to pull a date out of my rear. I could see it as a .3 or .4 update to this particular expansion as I could see them releasing mim and amarr as individual updates as they get done.

i remember them saying min and amarr will get done in the next expansion / v3 update

so not for this winter one sadly.

leave the best till last eh eh ;) lol

ps: am guessing only the tornado will be v3.. so we can atleast check that out to see what direction there going to take the min with the v3 stuff.

I'm thinking they will be a part of the crucible expansion. But won't be until the 3rd or 4th update.

Firetail is V3, Amarr rookie ship is V3 and Apoc is V3 (probably not finished as it doesn't have the Amarr symbol on it anywhere.

Last I had seen the Oracle had the Amarr symbol to replace that black box but the textures were still not complete. The ship basically looks like a chalk drawing. Did they further update it today?

V3 textures won't make Minmatar look any better.

Three quarters of your ships need totally new models, because they look like trash. If, like everything else, they start going more towards their T3/cap aesthetics, maybe they'll be fine. But again, I honestly don't think V3ing these ships is going to make them look better.

I apologize for having an opinion.

They probably can't be made worse at least

I don't have a problem with the way Minmatar ships look (most of them are better than Caldari ships). But the color is drab and V3 isn't going to help that. The Sisi Firetail and fighter/fighter bombers and the Loki are what the V3 will look like on the rest of the Minmatar fleet. Drab. Hard to see. I wish they would make them more reflective or more copper than brown. Or since they are supposed to be "rusty" make them really red rust instead of just brown.

Anyway checked out the Oracle model and the cylon dealie is pretty cool. I was hoping it would have something like that. Though I am not sure I am too keen on the new mustard color of Amarr ships compared to the old gold. Looks OK on the Apoc but I am definitely worried about some of my favorite ships.

If you want gilded fallos symbols, I recommend not playing with Minmatar ships :) Personally I don't care how my ships look like since I see the graphics only when docked.

Yeah. The new Amarr skins make the ships look like they're made of concrete. What? Concrete color, rough pock-marked concrete texture, lots of square shaped sections like a sidewalk (particularly on the Maller). Not intimidating at all.

out of curiosity, will Amarr or Minmatar be next for the V3 overhaul like caldari and gallente??? or will they both come at the same time?

The Amarr are intimidating because of their sheer numbers, not the designs of their ships.

The new Tornado's texture looks AWESOME.

Seriously though, rusty and all :)
