I mean seriously, the whole game is a lot darker. Excluding not being able to see our ships in many cases, there's also a severe case of eye strain.

And eye strain is the last [thing] tired people want when trying to relax after hard day with eve.

The new skins for caldari ships are way too dark.
Like the ferox , on tq it is nice and shiny on sisi it is just a black grayish blob,you cant see a thing on it.

I hope they are not final.

Oh and the navy scorp with that digital camo ,it looks like a gpu memory error or something.

I understand that EVE is supposed to be a 'dark' universe and all that, but doesn't anybody else think this is going too far?

Is it this dark for everyone else? Is the lighting and shaders and whatnot still a work in progress for the new skybox and ship textures?

Visual readability has taken a nose dive. In the screenshots on the far left the Drake has become an amorphous blob that blends into the station in the background. When flying in space the ship is a silhouette when viewed from the shadowed hemisphere, and even when viewed from the side that is hit by the sun it is still very dim. That particular nebula is also so intense it will overpower anything else in the scene. Basically everything is fighting against the traditional rules of visual hierarchy.

I agree. I actually just complained about the same thing in another thread, with pictures to illustrate:

i ******* adore the new firetail.

I really hate to say this, because I hate when people day - it's your PC, but in this case it is your monitors - go to the setting and reset to default and then try some things - fro your images - your contrast is way to low and your brightness is low also - making global changes to the skins arent going to happen - they have tested these in shop and it is why we have local setting for individual end clients.

my screen doesn't look at all like that stuff you posted, it looks very detailed, perfect brightness and contrasted

Made some shots so you can see what Ive meant:

new navy scorp vs old
the new skin is so "pixelled" I dont like it

eagle+basilisk

sith ferox vs tq ferox

ferox with caldari navy cloak fitted

oh the new market icons

I understand most of you like darker tones ( me too) but can't see sh*t is not = with that
we could just watch a black box and couldnt notice the difference.


All shots made an hour ago, only sizes were altered same setup for tq and sisi, the sisi system is the testing one the tq system is where I have my ships. I tried to shot similar sides of the ships for both versions. You can clearly see that the sisi versions are much much darker.

If you were actually piloting one of those things, would you be thinking, "Damn I hope my homies can see how badass my boat looks?" Or would you want them to not be so obvious on the screen so you have less chance of being spotted by pirates and the like?
OK, Tyrone. Put down the spinners. Think.
The V3 textures are fine.

I always disliked all the grayish of Caldari hulls. New hulls are much better imho. I love the black trim on almost all ships.

oh yes cause you would look out the window to spot enemy ships,possibly many tens kms away, instead of use your high tech sensors
+ most ships are lit out due to windows and some lamps +engine ,completly negating any advantage a paintjob could give
so pls think ...
