Geralden	Posted - 2011.03.26 18:31:00 - [31] I saw them, and i want them :) Too bad, you have to play EVE with all effects off, no sound, no brackets.... to not freeze the client every 10 seconds.
Vertisce Soritenshi O.W.N. Corp OWN Alliance	Posted - 2011.03.26 18:31:00 - [32] Is the video from the fanfest anywhere on youtube yet? I wanna see it again. NO BOOBIES LEFT BEHIND!
Kaltooth Amarr	Posted - 2011.03.26 18:33:00 - [33] Yup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm8A1t9Y3ZQ Now my question is, what music is being played?
Th0rG0d Terminal Pharmaceuticals Inc.	Posted - 2011.03.26 18:36:00 - [34] Originally by: Frau Klaps So am I right in thinking that you will no longer be able to 'look at' and determine peoples fits based on what turrets they have fitted? Sounds bad to me. Tactically speaking, yes, it would suck. Surprise factor is ****ing awesome though!!

Sounds bad to me. Tactically speaking, yes, it would suck. Surprise factor is ****ing awesome though!! I think that is exactly one of the points for doing this....but they are cool and I want them NOW
Mister Smithington	Posted - 2011.03.26 18:59:00 - [36] Ok, the turrets deploying from their bays is pretty cool. But I'm not happy here. The lasers no longer look like lasers. The laser animation was the ENTIRE reason I rolled Amarr in the first place.
Teranul	Posted - 2011.03.26 19:04:00 - [37] All the guns were using the exact same particle effect. I think it's safe to say those were placeholders. The models, on the other hand.... BRILLIANT. I can only hope the new effects and sounds (or at least, I'm hoping for new sounds) will match the quality of the models.
Flynn Fetladral Caldari BlackSite Prophecy	Posted - 2011.03.26 19:07:00 - [38] Looking forward to this, and also the missile launchers! Follow Flynn on Twitter

CCP stated that the actual animations of the firing effects won't be touched for a while, it's only the model turrets themselves.
Yissondre La'Taria	Posted - 2011.03.26 19:14:00 - [40] They're awesome, do want! Originally by: Geralden I saw them, and i want them :) Too bad, you have to play EVE with all effects off, no sound, no brackets.... to not freeze the client every 10 seconds. By a computer then!
Julien Brellier	Posted - 2011.03.26 19:20:00 - [41] Can't wait to see all the silly fits with Large turrets deploying from inside frigate hulls. But Q-Ships ftw!
Renan Ruivo Caldari Hipernova Tribal Conclave	Posted - 2011.03.26 19:42:00 - [42] Originally by: Julien Brellier Can't wait to see all the silly fits with Large turrets deploying from inside frigate hulls. But Q-Ships ftw! Well, you can fit two assembled Machariels inside a Thanatos, so i don't see the problem here. Move along... ____________ I like woman because breasts
Dhuras	Posted - 2011.03.27 03:30:00 - [43] i'm going to bump up the thread whine index and ask WHEN ARE THEY COMING OUT. YOU UNVEILED ALL THIS COOL **** , YOU CANT JUST LEAVE US GANGING! PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEEEEEEEEEN :D loves and kisses to you ccp
Kuronaga Kantian Principle	Posted - 2011.03.27 04:42:00 - [44] Originally by: Tippia Originally by: Furb Killer Maybe I am kinda bitter, but in normal usage you will never see it happen, and this is second time they revamp turret graphics while ignoring missiles, and missiles you do see, contrary to the turrets itself on your ship. True. But the problem with doing something similar to missiles is that they'd also have to redo all ships that can in any way conceivably fit a launcherà àso I can certainly see why they'd hide behind the curtains as soon as anything to that effect is brought up. Find neat place to put missile launcher hardpoint. paste onto model. work done.

You should see the size shoehorn (and tub of lube) used to fit those bad boys inside the thanny. Oooooo, yeah!
Lokaas	Posted - 2011.03.27 13:33:00 - [47] I want drone launcher graphics! http://www.modelairplanenews.com/Media/News/ScanEagle_UAV_catapult_launcher_2005-04-16_0.jpg
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2011.03.27 13:50:00 - [48] Edited by: Meiyang Lee on 27/03/2011 13:53:34 Originally by: Mister Smithington Ok, the turrets deploying from their bays is pretty cool. But I'm not happy here. The lasers no longer look like lasers. The laser animation was the ENTIRE reason I rolled Amarr in the first place. The effect was from the minmatar AC, so don't worry, those were simple placeholders, my guess is that effect was actually already attached to an early test model, and they just interchanged the model for the various guns, in other words it is just a quick animation mockup. The current effects (those on TQ, not in the video) will stay in place when the new turret animations and models are added. New effects are coming, but that will be at a later time. (and in CCP tradition, they said they would be awesome)
The Lost Penguin	Posted - 2011.03.27 13:55:00 - [49] Originally by: Kuronaga Originally by: Tippia Originally by: Furb Killer Maybe I am kinda bitter, but in normal usage you will never see it happen, and this is second time they revamp turret graphics while ignoring missiles, and missiles you do see, contrary to the turrets itself on your ship.

Find neat place to put missile launcher hardpoint. paste onto model. work done. Not quite, infact not even close. Firstly any ship with (potentially) launcher points needs multiple spaces on the hull in the same way turrets are located, so missiles could be launched roughly in the correct direction from the hull, then you have to actually make the missiles originate from the correct launcher such that when firing on something ahead of you they come from a launcher thats roughly forwards facing, rearwards then rear launchers etc etc. Sadly here EVEs physics engine falls over and fails badly, it just doesn't seem to be able handle creating new objects in space elegantly hence we have the current ugly situation where missiles are spawned into space at your ships physics Ball location and so appear to magically fly out through the hull model, and drones also spawn instantly rather than flying out of a proper bay. Personally I'd love to see missiles and drones both get some loving to launch somewhat correctly (and return to bay in the case of drones) as currently these systems both look pretty crap ingame, even if the current models are hideous at least guns have something that represents them reasonably well already, but I suspect we wont see anything in this area because it would generate additional load for the physics engine to handle, especially having multiple locations for missile objects to start from, if you've read the recent blogs on the subject you'd already know how much missiles hurt the hampsters. Perhaps something could be done with drones, since typically each ship has far fewer drone launch/recall operations going on than a missile spammer has missile lunches... Oh and I can't help but wonder how close actual guns will look ingame to that video, even tho it looks like ingame video there's usually a shortfall from what we see and what we get, altho some of them do look a little too intricate and involved with the retraction mechanisms, a little reduction in fiddly bits there wouldn't be such a bad thing imo, also wondering if we get in summer or just SoonÖ?
