I think you just chose Columbian candy there...

I really don't care, my pc is maxed as is. If they do one, I'll never know, and if they don't...well, I'll never know.

+1 for sure.

Also where are these videos people are talking about? I want to see the leviathan that breaks up into pieces too!

Also, they're migrating mining to ... Ring mining? As in one giant ring around the solar system? I assume this was covered at Fanfest?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

CCP just announced the potential for a new graphics upgrade.

The new upgrade would take 5 man years. For comparison the Trinity upgrade took 50 man years.

Thoughts?

I'm all for graphics updates, but I don't think it should be asking too much to keep it backwards-compatible so that people who can currently play the game can still play it once the graphics update lands.

I don't see why "a game with fancy graphics" should mean "you need a fancy graphics card to play it, even if you don't care about how fancy the graphics are".

Basically, I wanna play Eve on my laptops as well as on my main PC, but because they're older than 2 years I can't. They're easily fast enough, just not great in the graphics department.

WANT LOW RES COMPATIBILITY MODE.

I got a graphics upgrade with this patch. I now have a higher FPS at any given set of settings, meaning I can up my settings and still have a playable game.

More of the same please. I could use up to 4 times faster. That would let me triple box on max settings.
