I'm currently not aware of any new ship designs and am not sure if any are currently planned at this time.

Hello Katrina Oniseki,

Sorry for the late reply but yes, this is essentially correct. All ships need to be upgraded to new shaders, and they'll get the new engine effects at that time (as far as I know, at least).

More importantly, CCP Fallout, can you confirm or deny that CCP plans to move forward with MT to non-vanity items?

It's the only thing we all care about. Please make a statement on this immediately.

You may not be authorized to do so. But you certainly must be qualified enough to give us your take on things. Which is something no one from CCP does. Please don't bring up the Zulu blog. CCP Pann never followed through, and no one else has either.

Yeah, instead of developing ships and so on, they are developing ways to charge super high prices for pixels, and ways to introduce non-vanity, game breaking changes to the NEX store.

Hi all,

IÆm CCP Thrustmaster. I am a member of the team that has so far brought you Primae, Noctis, Punisher, Maller, Scorpion, Sansha mothership and a few more. We are in the process of doing something called ôV3 shader projectö of our current catalogue of ships. This involves a lot of work for our artists. While this project does not involve new ship geometry, it does mean that older ships will look more up to date than they are now in game. Ship shaders look better, and we are adding thruster glow to each ship's thrusters.

We have a huge backlog of ships and other space assets that are due for facelifts and makeovers. In this first iteration we are tackling the technical part of the work for the entire EVE fleet and later this year will start working on what is the actual visual improvements. We are all the more motivated by the player enthusiasm for things that look good while they go Pew-Pew. We will have a dev blog in the near future explaining this in much more detail.

While we're at it, please, please remove those spikes on the front of the Machariel and make it darker!

The spikes look very out of place when looking at the rest of the ship, and the Mach is a lot brighter than both the Dramiel and Cynabal, which should not be the case.

Hello CCP Thrustmaster. Let me start by saying how much I love the work your team has done, particularly on improving texture qualities and remodelling.

However, I have a personal request: Please, PLEASE don't change the shape of the Apocalypse too much. It's my baby, it looks elegant and sleek and awe-inspiring. A real battleship. Please don't remodel it, just retexture it!

One question though;

Are ORE ships getting the already introduced looks as the Rorqual, Noctis (T2 colorscheme) and Primea (T1 color scheme)?
As in will the Miningbarges and Exhumers get the same look as those 3 above?
If so, Will the Orca get a revamp to or not? (Because it ORE/DCM it could maybe have a mix of Ore and if i am correct Caldari look.)

Also small question about the Salvagers/Tractorbeams.

Maybe an good idea to make them scale with your ship? A tractorbeam/salvager on a Noctis looks like a tiny dot.)

Also: How about ORE getting some competition from DCM wich releases his own variations of the Exhumers/Miningbarges. (Same stats though just to make it versatile in space.) ORE is originaly Gallente and DCM is Caldari; makes sense? :P
