We are the Station Sheen Preservation Society.
Empress save Imperial and all the different varieties!**
A recent update to Singularity included initial versions of the new factional station exteriors. 38 factions have chosen to refit their stations (and the stations of subsidiary corporations in which those factions hold controlling interest) with decorated exteriors no longer limited by the strict aesthetics of the Empires. In fact, the Empires themselves have gotten in on the act with Naval and Governmental designs.
While "standard" stations will still exist in game for unaffiliated NPC corps and non-factional conglomerates, a vast number of dockable locations should appear resplendent in owner-dictated livery.
We've done our best to check a representative sampling of the 4000+ factional stations in New Eden, but we also invite all capsuleers to comment on the individual stations they encounter. If you notice a Quafe factory sporting Inner Zone Shipping orange, or an Imperial logo on a Blood Raider outpost, or any issue at all, please file a bug report immediately. You can also let us know about the discrepancy by commenting this thread.
* - Take two!
** - Sorry, Ray. |

HOLD FAST!
The contractors are still working on a number of the refits, following comments from owners and designers alike. As such, the most prudent course of action for any discerning exterior design critic would be to delay comment until later in the week, following a second, more recent update.
You have my sincerest apologies for this fully automatic starter pistol burst. |

Inverted logos are one of the fixes due for arrival later this week. If they still appear next week, we will have words most severe with the house painters.
I'm sure that many megacrops, Caldari Constructions included, would not hesitate to allow their good friends and associates the privilege of using station decoration as means of advertising...for a percentage.
That said, I am making notes for requested adjustments to these arrangements, and will continue to record these comments for those more suitably situated in the decision making process to judge accordingly.
Your voices are heard. |

You thought Imperial agricultural science relied on random mutation and simple splicing to develop that glorious Amarrian Wheat?
Mega. Crop.
(Just kidding. Never been tampered with. Ever.)
Which, to stay on topic, may be grown in a station featuring a new factional exterior upon which I sincerely invite all of you to comment. |

None of that seems harsh, and this type of feedback is why we have Test Servers and threads like this one. We are all making the world of Eve, and that should be fun for everyone.
Re: Caldari Constructions/Kaalakiota/Wiyrkomi
This is both a lore and art move. We want to encourage visual variety while offering opportunities for deeper immersion. As there are nearly twice as many Kaalakiota Stations as Wiyrkomi, this is a good way to keep that ideal.
According to Lore, Heth's denunciation and historic association with Caldari Constructions has had a impact on the value of CC real estate. As Kaalakiota has more than 170 other stations, taking money from a friendly non-rival for the privilege of rebranding an undesirable subsidiary is a smart move that simultaneously suggests distance and increases capital.
Both KK and Wiyrkomi are patriotic bloc megacorps. The Seituoda family is known to be in pursuit of diversification, though has not yet been particularly successful in that regard. To help advance their high-end market goals, Wiyrkomi has paid for the higher profile. Constructions took the branding, and Kaalakiota approved.
Many of the other changes suggested here should appearing on Sisi in the next few days. We hope you'll keep an eye out for other suggestions that haven't been addressed. |
