I'm considering the option of changing out the in-game ship models with simpler, low poly, geometric ones.
If possible, I would like to assign each race with one specific simplified shape scaled to size according to ship class with thruster animations to off. These shapes will be basic e.g,... Cubes, Tetrahedrons etc...
Also, each race would be assigned to one flat color as a texture e.g,... All Amarr Objects=Gold, All Minmatar objects=Orange etc...
It has been a few years since I've done mod work. So, it might take awhile for research on whats needed to get back into the swing of things. That is, if this is possible to implement.
I'll be using wings 3d and I'll probably invest to re-activate Ultimate Unwrap 3D. If you can post of any extra tools needed (A good Extractor etc...). Or offer up any experienced advice please do so.
Responses welcomed

editing the eve files in that way is a breach of EULA surly ?

besides the EULA question, you can find tools in this forum to unpack files & even display 3D models
i have seen them less than 1 month ago; should not take too long for you to get hand on them
anyway, any EVE release patch is susceptible to break your work
and worse your modified file will probably be rejected by Eve game engine, i suppose eve has some checking on its "stuff" files even though they are not encrypted

I will direct a letter asking for permissions first before I attempt any fiddling. I Forgot to mention that in the above. But, for now I'm seeking feedback and whether or not it is even possible or worth while in doing.

i believe that the client does check md5 or some hash of all the files when you log in if it doesn't match it won't let you log in
not sure if the account gets disabled, it is possible though FT
if you see this you have read too far |

This fear of modding is the single most crap part of eve. Models have nothing to do with anything, you could play this game with a controllable vector arrow and your overview. I *hate* not being able to do this. --- insert witty remark here --- Proud pilot of the Harmless Barnacle II |

Name one MMO which is modable. Doesn't exist. It just doesn't work with this sort of game... because 6 poly ship models would give unfair advantage to players using them over those who like pretty ships.
Usually MMO's restrict modability to interface only. Plus you wouldn't get past the checksum verification. So I doubt this is even possible, though I see the thinking behind it and would be nice to have an option to turn off complex models in heavy battles.
