Actually, they shouldn't impliment a new client. They should update the graphics engine instead. Kind of like the game Homeworld, where you had massive amounts of ships flying around, Eve should render to lower quality models the farther away we view them.

Eve does reduce the render quality of the object the further away you view them. It reduces them to dots...  . Now whether or not this is a progressive graphics engine will determine if it has a true effect on your FPS. The options to turn off turret effects and sound don't seem to have an effect from my point of view. But turning off your HUD (ctrl + F9) does appear to speed up FPS. Only problem is you cant see your modules, overview, etc. But then again, maybe you don't need to.
Heres an idea. CCP adds a mode that you can put your ship into when in battle. Example, next to your scanner/tactical mode, add a "Battle Mode" that modifies your HUD into a less complicated control pannel. {Might as well just make the tactical mode do this}. This mode would hide/close all controls on the side of the screen (wallet, mail, journal, etc.). It would also hide/close chat windows (except maybe gang chat). Perhaps a simplified overview would also be good. And to finish, when in this mode the graphics settings are minimized to reduce lag. This sound like a good/possible idea?

I heartily endorse this post. Eve needs more scalable graphics settings so my effectiveness in combat isn't limited by the fact that I can't afford a brand new PC. Even using all the current options to reduce client lag I still get under 10 fps in large fleet situations with no fighting actually going on.

The fact that it displays them as dots in the finished product does not, on my understanding, guarantee that they're being rendered at reduced complexity prior to display. If they're still processing the full, close-up model and then having the engine go "...and it's actually only one pixel across, so let's just draw a black dot and junk all the work we just did working out what it would look like if you had an eyeball 500km across", then zooming out simply adds more load.
I don't think this is the case, but that's a worst-case scenario.

10 fps? I could only dream. I get about 2 tops in large fleet/large complex encounters. Large fleet when firing starts? I get about 0.3 FPS.

I don't believe graphics is what attracts people to play EVE but it is the gameplay itself. I like seeing the nice graphics and I run full effects in travel or small skirmishes, but anything over 30 ships is extremely slow to render for me!
This is annoying because when you zoom out to get an accurate overview of people's positions relative to another object everything is reduced to squares with icons.
So please do make an uber-low-graphics mode for fleet battles and for people with crappy computers like myself!

(goonfleet routinely uses multiple hundreds of ships. I lag on a very hardcore computer)
~Suggestion that we can turn off all models and just have the targets on overview and display~ |

Even though my comp runs at 1680 x 1050 rez with all bells and whistles without any problems, I fully understand the issues for those with less able machines, and would hate to think that I couldn't play EVE in the future because they have upped the ante too far graphics-wise without providing scalability.
BTW I'm using a new iMac running XP via Boot Camp and can't upgrade my graphics... don't laugh, I'm an IT pro who got sick of endlessly re-configuring boring noisy Windows boxes and went over to the light side... it works a lot better than any other PC I've ever owned - I can even play Far Cry in one window whilst Eve is doing boring gate jumping in another window with no slow down, so there :P
Sorry, got a bit carried away there pre-empting derision.

Why not have a text based client mode for fleet battles. After all the only thing you really need is the overview, modules and chat...

Bah, I want EVE - nethack version...
Also, yes, having a minimum graphic version would be fantasitc. I use a laptop for my second account often (just to loot for instance) and it is always dead slow so any improvement for those with little gfx-fu in their machines would be welcome.

Ever tried having a corp mining op? think 20 Covetors, oh the lag it causes when rats spawn. :(
Also, CCP the new graphics look awesome, the ones we have now are brilliant, but we cant all affort the Quad SLI cards, the computer i use is 2-3 years old and eve is fairly laggy when rats spawn... So making the eve client geometric shape option for us old machine users?

im sick of lagging out on a p4 with 1.5g ram and 6800gt card and even an upgraded dsl 6000 connection just so eve does not lag on me when i want some combat.

Well, personally i dont really have a clue what a lower quality graphics option than what we have so far would look like. But when the new graphics engine comes, there better had be a "use old models" option to run in the old engine on lower end pcs.

Have any of you tried zooming all of the way out in large blob operations? It works great. Even not all the way out, just enough to where you can still see fleet movement clearly on your tactical overlay.
Try it.

Considering I'm going away for the holidays, and the computer at my disposal will be a crappy one...
/SIGNED!
In other words: this would also be good for people who have slower computers, not only the pilots who like to do mass battles.

Bump! Keep the signatures going - I'm going to be on a crappy laptop over summer too.. i'm thinking flat shading, no textures, less complex models.. There must be straightforward ways to achieve this.

Please give us more graphics advanced settings like:
1. Allow disable all effects (disable repair etc...)
2. Range of models visibility - all 3d ships/drones objects behind a range replaces to 2d texture-icons.
3. Texture/Models packs for high-end/low-end computers.
