Just read through mine bar the chronicles,
yuppers, the trinity upgrades look sweet (going from 3000 to 1.8mill triangles), especially liked the close ups of the cruicifer , the reverse angle looking from below showed some excellent detail.
Im very keen to see what shadowing detail will be in trinity mk II as that has potential to produce some awesome images combined with an upgraded lighting effect from stars and nebulai etc
Though I have to admit, that Im more for an 'environment' upgrade at the same time. The look of space, planets, moons, asteroids, tactical environments etc and generally giving a more unique feel to eve's regions. Something akin to the detail of planets in X3 for eve would be nice!
edit: btw which dev was it that is the 'chief technology officer' (Halldόr)? Cos I want a long blog about trinity mk II from him  pretty please!!!
Re: E:ON #3, i didn't see anywhere the results from the design a module competition in issue 2 and whether or not ccp would accept any of the designs? Is TomB/Tux slacking off eh? 
The free poster in issue 4 will be sweet as for my wall, i just hope it will be big enough to show the frigates as something more than a small dot.

/me wants feedback
My only thought was a lot of the references seem forum based (ok the forums are a record of history) and hence levitate towards the forum *****s of the day (who posted a lot back then) though no one can doubt the power of TTI etc ingame as well certaintly post launch. Though my specific knowledge kicks in after eve went gold I would have thought leeloo might of made it in there (do remember a fair few posts about her when i was lurking on forums reading about eve)

hang on, are you telling me planet and enviorment graphics wont be updated with the ships?
it will happen and Reynir said he would like all the environment updated, the images in the article were specific to the ship model updates rather than the environment skins/surfaces. The end result is as they said, the technology is being updated to pave the way for planetry flight and much more detailed environmental flight it said.
it was just my afterthought from the article that you cant have really awesome ships sat in a background which has not been similarly upgraded myself :)

... per ship? since 3k is roughly how much an EVE ship weights, on average... o.O;
the exact quote is
"...Each ship is being rebuilt with around 1-2 million triangles. Just to put that figure in perspective, a typical ship in Eve today is referenced by about 3,000 triangles"
+ the numerous pics in the article of some upgraded models to drool over :)

Ahh... so high resolution ship models to use for generation of normal maps, to give extra details without adding too many polygons, probably... got me scared there for a moment o.x
yes sorry, article goes on to clarify that,
"instead we're using normal mapping to achieve the look of two million triangles. however to generate the normal maps we're having to rebuild all the ships in 1-2 million triangles"
so polygons will remain relatively the same i imagine.

Yeah, I was wondering where that was -- thought I'd just missed it when I skimmed through. I was looking forward to seeing what had been suggested.
Cheers,
Arrs.
yeah my entries were fairly crap but one can hope
/me slips TomB keys to a pontiac gto

But polygons arent always triangles :\
quads/triangles are forms of polygons iirc (though Im a noob in this area mostly apart from the basics)

I couldnt care less about the interviews and articles and all that crap, i just want to see pictures of the new engine. I am entitled to that much thank you.
Your entitled to zero other than the ability to access the game servers and post on the forums.
We have paid extra to get the collectable magazine & all content therin.
