With the arrival of EVE Online: Retribution comes an awesome new set of ships for Capsuleers to kill eachother with, as well as the new ORE mining frigate and sweet new salvage drones.
CCP Huskarl, Art Director for EVE Online is here to tell you more about the process behind visualizing new ships, and the process that goes on to make EVE look so awesome.
You can read about it in his newest devblog here.

I hear that Tech 3's had finally been V3'd... is it true?
Nice blog, btw...!
Also, though I'm certainly no miner, are there any plans to let the ORE Frigate artist have their way with the other mining barges...? |

Will the command ships be changed at all?
different hulls for different weapon systems i.e. Nighthawk using drake model
Or perhaps new/heavily modified hulls to give more uniqueness.

The Mega is a DPS boat, almost always a blaster boat. Especially the varients like the Kronos and Vindicator with their strength but not range bonus to webbing.
Compare these two linked images. Ignore the broken terrible new texture for now (Dev says it's still WIP and texture is broken).
The top front half of the old ship has a single fluid convex curve, it it like a muscle across a shoulder (true to the game's canon of organic racial inspiration) and emphasises the potential power of the highest DPS sub-cap ship in the game. The front then curves down and only forwards to the horns/spikes (giving no quarter, there is it: being close; and being closer/in your face). The rear half is shorter than the front with flowing curves and gives a sense of compactness and up-front focus.
The new model is undeniably bent along the top, and then has frowny eyebrows, a concave face, and just looks sad/depressed about the situation it finds itself in. The back half is now terribly straight lined, long and utterly forgettable.
Never mind that the texture should also invoke organic form and not plate metal, the ship is a fighting bull, not a pathetic rectangle with a melted front like someone's held a burning candle out horizontal and it's weakened itself.
Please try again, or leave it alone, do it justice.
P.S. Your forum doesn't like to leave 2 links with a space inbetween them.
Also why can't we have the lighter/fixed textures & lighting once 50% of models are new, rather than 100%? |

Yes, it does look like someone smashed the front with a big hammer, however the rest look like it can take much more of a beating. |

you just gotta love those art guys.
thats how space ships are made :)
a few quick remarks though.
- the difference between kronos and mega ( to be honest i dont see any) isn't as apparent as the difference between vargur and tempest. how come?
- when i checked out hte new minie dessie today on duality i noticed, that the missile launcher distribution is kind of odd. obviously designed hardpoints beeing empty and all. turret/launcher placement may not be part of the art teams job, but there will be some changes still, aren't there?
can't wait to look at them new shinies all day long once they go live :D |

Very cool dev blog, and great to see how your design process works. My only complaint about the new destroyers is how similar the new amarr one looks to the Coercer. Any chance you guys will go back and take a look at it?

CCP; A bit about lighting:
Go out some night when the moon is up. See that nice bright moon? A full moon lights up the sky, drowning out the stars. Now go to a fresh lava flow and pick up a rock. Its nice and black right? Well it turns out that is the color of moon rock: As black as newly cooled lava.
So why is the moon so bright? Its because the sky is so much darker.
Now go into game and look at a spaceship or an asteroid. Both have a surface color that is much more reflective than black lava, yet both are not nearly as brilliant against Eve's sky as the moon.
Conclusion: items in space need to be brighter. They are far to dark.

Yeah I wasn't sure what to call it, but what I mean by "mode animation" is the possibility of the ship to enter a different state or a mode, like putting up extra armor and/or retracting wings when your are engaged in combat. |

The Amarr destroyer is very similar looking to the Coercer. The new Gallente destroyer also has clear and obvious drone bays when you examine it's detail. You can picture the drones coming out of it. Very cool. When you look for the same detail on the new Amarr destroyer all you can find is USB port looking things on its sides. Lastly, the ship seems bare as you are fitting nos and nuets rather then filling its turret slots. |

Yeah, Megathron lost its sexyness and joins the new Minmatar and Amarr destroyers in flying brick land. Lately CCP seems to be really into big rectangles with stuff attached to the front.
Oh well. The Stabber, Tempest, and mining frig look pretty nice... and the Caldari destroyer seems to have all its missile launcher mounts on one side of the ship, thats a new and interesting design choice.

Very very nice. I especially like that the hull variations will have slight differences in the models itself, instead of different skin only. Keep up the good job and bring us more, I would really like to see what you guys can do with the Geddon / Bhaal models. |

Everyone else is throwing their opinions around so I will toss in mine. Some of the new modes look very nice like the Gallente destroyer plus the stabber and mining frig. The other updated models seem to be improvements as well. But the minmatar destroyer just makes me shake my head. The very concept of using a tank as an inspiration for not only this race but this class with it's intend role of being a zippy missile boat, is flawed to me. It just doesn't fit, it's a brown brick that would look more at home in world of tanks than in Eveonline.

From what I have seen of the Tempest, you ruined it. First off, who in their right mind would change the *ICONIC* ship in Eve. "Do I have to look it up for you?" Get it?! You do not touch it. What a mistake.
You made it beefer, tougher, thicker. Wrong, wrong, wrong. |
