Sorry, but I think it's kind of a slap in the face to the art team (as well as CCP as a whole) to say they're in dire need of a graphical update. They've been making great improvements in the graphics department for a while now and there's still more to come.
Sure, Eve isn't the best looking game around, but it still looks great. It's gonna be 10 years old next year. 10. Very few, if any, 10+ year old polygonal 3d games look even half as good as Eve. Hell, you still get a couple of games up until this very day that don't look as good as Eve.
Just saying...

Just saying... Well true, but I'm just saying . Where is the revolution? Lets take DICE as an example. They published the Frostbite engine back at 2008 And each year we see considerable improvements , and today we have BF3, one of the best looking game on the market. Then we have Dunia engine. I don't think much needs to be said. Back to the topic. The game aesthetically is good, but we just need to fill in the pot holes.
The problem with that argument is each new version of one of those engines is met with the release of a new game. They don't go back and redo an old game with their new engine. Mirror's Edge and Bad Company 1 are still using Frostbite 1. Crysis 2 is still using CryEngine 2. And so on and so on.
They make updates to the games and the engines, but none of them have gone back and redone those games with their new engines because it's a lot of work even for non-MMOs. in many ways, you're essentially remaking the game from scratch because the engine is the backbone of the entire game.
For MMOs, upgrading engines is a task that takes years. After Blizzard updated their engine for Cataclysm, they said they probably would never do it again because of the amount of time and money that it costs. WoW is their cashcow (pro rhymes). You can call Blizzard lazy if you want, but with the amount of money they make off that game, can you imagine how much trouble it must have been for them to upgrade their engine for them to outright say "we're never doing that again"?

I didn't want to. Someone at CCP hates me. I was literally the only one who had a forced portrait re-render when Retribution went live.
I want answers...
...and a hug.

...oh...ok then. Thank you for the clarification I guess, but the specifics are more or less irrelevant to my overall point earlier.

Symmetric ones. ...but how do you improve upon perfection? no ship is perfect. We can only view a ship with accordance to its aesthetics and artistic direction and then rate it accordingly. When we rotate around the theme of avant garde and uhhh... BRICKS , its excellent. But subjectively speaking , the only TRULY intimidating ship design is Corax
...ok?
