I want moving parts on stargates, stations and POSes :(

The effects in this are nothing short of spectacular. The shield reactions... and the ship explosions! Nice!

The key word is "scalability".

Your rig can take it? Client turns on tesellation and similar goodies. If not, client turns them off by default.

I don't understand CCP's argument about "waiting for people to update their machines".

Because tesellation as CCP are planning it is more than just a graphics update, since it allows for accurate collision modelling. So it will be a complete redo of the physics engine at the same time, which requires the tesellation to work.
So they can't have people running a client without tesellation or the physics engine will break.

Apparently this is not enough to run all mighty Eve, clearly my rig sucks

Eve is harsh, ho dear.

Mobile cards constitute less than 5% of the entire survey.

Please tell me how many would unsub if CCP would just say "ahh F*** it lets render the whole game on Cry Engine 3 ?

I would love it, because I can handle it, but most of the people I play with are using what can be called "a avarge laptop" not a multi thousand dollar Gaming rigs like some players.

The Star Citizen game looks just amazing and I will check it out, but asking anywhere near this level of graphics from EVE is just silly...

If you spent multi thousand dollars to play cry 3 engine games then you got ripped off.

I paid 1000 and I'm playing crysis 3 on mostly ultra high thank you very much.
Don't be brainwashed.

Cry engine 3 can be run by an xbox, its nothing special.

I wouldn't mind an explanation as to why CCP can't release an update to allow the launcher to launch in DX9 or DX11.

I know games like The Secret World can, then there is of course all the single player games that have the option as well.


I agree with a lot of you that having explosions updated would be fantastic, not only for the older players looking for something new, but for the curious new players who first lay their eyes on this big explosion.

What I want most of all in eve is more information from the screen, not just overview.
Tactical overlay is pretty bad, it needs to be tweaked heavily.
I want to see ship types, their direction, signature, etc. by LOOKING at them.
I remember at some point there were new icons on Sisi but CCP didn't continue the project.

undocking, drone launching and other animations would be cool as well.

That would be fabulous !!

However , bear in mind . The current UI is already JAM PACKED full of information and tools , if we fit anymore of it without proper thought. EvE would be come a point and click adventure game .(not sarcastic)

Do you have some concept art you would like to share with us about the vision of the overhauled UI ?

Current eve UI does not even look like game UI, it's more like a window manager for OS. it's hard to fit anything inside
separate icons for ships could work, to show hull types at least (frigate cruiser etc.)
signature bloom could be a little dot in icon corner. or more obvious flames from engines.

on selected item window and lock icon we could see 3D image instead of 2d icon that we have now. 3d image is good as it changes direction towards your ship, as enemy approaches or escapes.

direction in space could be indicated by arrow or icon direction. and there should be icon for YOUR ship.

Imma want:

- new better epic explosions
- better textures on big ships
- more better nebulas (better space feel not colorfull pony sky)
- Sci-fi UI, something like on fanfest 2012
- let us fly in space not some fluid
- new hangars (3per faction)
- new jump effects
- new cloack/decloak effects
- new awesome shield effects
- remove smoke trails from missiles ffs, get them some sci-fi

And most important improve scalling.
Make stations bigger (add orbital towns not only single station)
Stations close to planets so it looks like on every space movie/game/even eve trailers...

Make the texture to scale too !
The sense of scale of ships is WAAAY OFF!
The geometrical and model details of ships doesn't scale at all!!!

When you put an Algos and a Thanatos side by side , you honestly can't tell which one is bigger .

its on high thx.
Try zooming onto your ship .
You'll see the problem.
