Nooma K'Larr Minmatar Cat's Cradle	Posted - 2010.05.02 04:07:00 - [1] This one boggles the mind a little. Why just one model update for the scorpion? What exactly is the selling point there? ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader!
Vaal Erit Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2010.05.02 04:20:00 - [2] Why not? Originally by: Jim Raynor EVE needs danger, EVE needs risks, EVE needs combat, even piracy, without these things, the game stagnates to a trivial game centering around bloating your wallet with no purpose.
Nooma K'Larr Minmatar Cat's Cradle	Posted - 2010.05.02 04:25:00 - [3] Originally by: Vaal Erit Why not? Well, usually if there is an update...say ship models, they are ALL done. At least that is how it's done on planet common sense. That's like a car company releasing the same car model but claiming "HEY!! It now has a new steering wheel!" as a selling point. ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader!

Commen sense to you maybe, you who know jack about CCP's work flow and Design plans, maybe the new texture engine is the bigger piece of the pie and the texture them self can be released down stream.

So arcording to you car company's never revision there car after it has been put in to production?

What I do know about CCP's workflow is that there really is no rhyme or reason to it. Major changes are put in incremental patches, while minor changes are in major ones. Go figure. ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader!

You're welcome to implement design overhauls in the code that is EVE, provided CCP lets you. Go on! If it's so easy. Geez. ________________________ Apply \| Channel CBSN Lounge

Now quit trolling me and post something coherent. I asked a valid question and you fanbois act like I just insulted your mother. Grow up kiddies. It's just a game, it's just a software company, and it's just your money. ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader!

Other models will follow suit eventually. ________________________ Apply \| Channel CBSN Lounge
Chaos Incarnate Faceless Logistics	Posted - 2010.05.02 17:21:00 - [10] Because CCP love caldari. Or, they just had time for one model update before all being yanked away to go design doodads and widgets for PI _____________________ Horrors! Demons in the deep!

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.05.02 17:25:00 - [11] I'm betting that the rest of the ships that miss getting put in tyrannis will get mostly finished over the next two expansions. CCP seems to be dedicating its entire workforce to dust and incarna so it makes sense that most of the stuff we are getting teased with in this micro expansion will come then. One hopes at least. Originally by: CCP Zymurgist Get off the forums and go kill someone!
Jesslyn Daggererux Income Redistribution Service	Posted - 2010.05.02 17:34:00 - [12] remember, domi is still missing turrets and engine trails. not that i care much, except for when i want to see if an enemy domi is packing turrets. funny to me that they would ignore that glaring problem and instead give a facelift to a ship that doesnt need it. Originally by: CCP Fallout Hola, esta forum es ingles solamente. This forum is English only. Welcome to my lock. Now please, zip your pants. I don't need a show.

The scorpion is just the first to be effected. Oh please god no... The scorpion is shocking and the textures have harsh problems for some people. Scorpion and Widow look identical almost! The textures switch and swap between layers depending on what angle you are looking at them on. I think its still the case on Sisi for me and on my desktop pc also. I hope to god they don't ruin other ships. Finally... Why ruin the already awesome scorpion model :( If anything the blackbird is the one which needs touching up. It has beantins for thrusters!
Nicholas Barker Black Nova Corp IT Alliance	Posted - 2010.05.02 17:40:00 - [14] Only ships that need changing are what? The scorp, raven, and the typhoon? 1 out of 3 isn't too bad. ------ 0800-LAG-A-NODE
Lady Spank Amarr Trillionaire High-Rollers Suicidal Bassoon Orkesta	Posted - 2010.05.02 17:47:00 - [15] I'm pretty sure CCP did it so Nooba Q'Qer could make another whine thread. ~_~ (Retired from ship toasting. Now a professional.)
Faolan Fortune	Posted - 2010.05.02 17:55:00 - [16] They said in the dev blog ALL ships will be redone with the new T3 ship textures, which provide better shading effects and are crisper. This however will be done over multiple expansions, the Scorpion is a taste of what's to come.
Ryhss Caldari The Templar Navy SRS.	Posted - 2010.05.02 17:55:00 - [17] Originally by: Nooma K'Larr This one boggles the mind a little. Why just one model update for the scorpion? What exactly is the selling point there? Test run perhaps to see if it really matters to us.
Qwert0	Posted - 2010.05.02 18:53:00 - [18] The probably spent most of the time implementing how the new models/shaders/etc work, and sat down in a meeting and said, "we have time to change one model before Tyrannis, pick one" and they picked the scorp.
Ath Amon	Posted - 2010.05.02 19:02:00 - [19] Originally by: Nicholas Barker Only ships that need changing are what? The scorp, raven, and the typhoon? 1 out of 3 isn't too bad. well a lot of minnie hulls can benefit from some work to make them more similar in style across the board... same goes for many cladari ships the pest model for example is quite outdated now... well as the ship itself... hope they will give it a look :P Originally by: Diana Merris Unfortunately, rather than address the slot layout/tanking issues for Minmatar the Devs have simple declared that it makes us "versitile".
