I would love to see an update to the effects of missiles and damage. I have a few suggestions which i think would vastly improve the overall look of eve.
1.Missile hard points: When you fire a launcher the missile magically appears in the middle of your ship. It would be great to see missile ships gain actual hard points and the missiles coming from those hard points.
2. Grouped missiles should fire a volley of however many launchers are in that group. Grouped turrets have effects for firing at the same time why shouldn't missiles?
3. Improve missile models: Current missiles look like floating balls of light, how bout adding some smoke trails or something to make them look better?
4. Different Damage Effects: There should be a different hit effects depending on if a ship is hit on its shields, armor, or hull. Shield hits should hit slightly above the ship and look like they are being blocked by the shield. Armor hits should leave burn marks or visible areas of damage where the projectile or missile hit. Hull hits should look like they are causing serious damage to the ship internally.
5. Better explosions: Yes we've all seen the generic eve explosions by now but how bout something new? Have different explosion types depending on what type of ship is being blown up and with what type of ammo.
6. Wrecks that resemble the destroyed ships: I know this may be a little ambitious but it would be awesome if wrecks resembled the ship that was destroyed, Coming back to see that your ship was split in half or something would be pretty cool.
Thanks for reading and fly safe!

Lasers and smoke and particles spewing out everywhere is just more lag and lower frame rate. But we can still dream...

These are all good ideas to make eye candy for the people in for the looks, (that Is why they added anti-aliasing, amirite?)
And much like Anti-aliasing, make these pretty new effects just as optional as they are in many other games. Some may think it's useless, but I like the idea of running a game that my PC was made for: Extra Eye Candy graphics

Well of course these settings would be graphics options just like you have the ability to toggle turret and drone models. But eve isn't a very demanding game compared to other things out there. Unless your running a laptop or an older desktop most effect settings shouldent decrease performance that much anyways.

Edited by: Sonya Rayner on 06/01/2011 14:56:36 Or if you're running multiple clients at the same time.
Now, CCP stated when they updated the second batch of effects (turrets, jump effects and more) that they will update missile and other effects that are not updated since classic client. They did not tell when, though.
As of ship wrecks resembling destroyed ships, all capital ships have unique wrecks, resembling their "original" form. But each race has only one capital ship in each category. While subcaps have 2 to 5 different hull for same category, nevermentioning the T2/T3 variations. That means CCP have to create a specific wreck type for each ship in game, which I, personally, don't just see happening.
