all it needs now is engine trails \o/
Engine trails are on a backlog. Which means the backlog basically has engine trails. So it must be moving fast!
More seriously, I have no idea of timing at this point though and it could be a while. I just don't know. All I know is that it's on a backlog which means it will be done at some point in time that is not this very moment. CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |

I wake up on my birthday to find that the old hangar is being resuscitated, ship spinning is coming back, the turret icons are being reverted to the old clear icons, and a new font may be available... ...Oh t0rfi, you've made me the happiest humanoid in the charted systems! 
Happy birthday!

Whoah, I wasn't expecting such a positive feedback. We are simply fixing some things that we broke so that we can move forward. Tbh we've had our head somewhat placed in the lowermost segment of the large intestine and are finally coming out for air.
Anyway, in regards to questions for a boarding animation, given how a dramatic event that is, you can always go and watch this, which we made a while ago. It was supposed to underscore how painful and nasty it is for a capsuleer to emerge from his pod and be nothing but a vulnerable weak piece of clonemeat.
We opted for no cut scene ingame, simply because it happens so often. Way back in beta we had this beautiful 2001-esque docking sequence, every time you wanted to dock with a station. Ofc, after docking a few times, it became tedious as hell, so we decided to sacrifice immersion on the altar of usability. Same applies for a pod-exit cut scene.
The screenshots didn't show the exact buttons you use to board and unboard your ship, they will be placed close to the undock button on your neocom most likely.
It may take a couple of weeks for these changes to hit Singularity. I can't make promises on the exact date at the moment. But in any case, they are live on what we refer to as "MAIN", which is the internal development branch, and what we see internally when we fetch latest code. So, in typical programmer-speak: "It works on my machine!".
In regards to the Cyno effect, it's not an exact copy of the old effect, it's still supposed to communicate the hadron-tearing disruption of the time space continuum being violated. Or something along those lines. Let's see what people think once it's on Singularity, and we'll take it from there. |

Circumstantial Evidence wrote:FONT!
Please make the zero stand out more from capital "o". I can tell that the new "o" is a bit rounder, but not by much. Maybe add a dot in the middle of zeros, like old VGA textmode font, or a slash.
B looks fantastic! The zero has a slash through it, so it should not be confused with O. |
