The Thorax is now ingame, see screenshots below. Note that I will be adding more engine trails at some point.

wow at that thorax, well done sir!
edit : Is it just me or does that picture of the thorax seen from below remind you of the covenant cruiser in Halo that you 'beam' into?

@Kvarium: Halbeth isn't actually working on the mod, he made the original (now defunct) messageboards and started the thread on the Relic Forums, I picked up from there and recently gathered some new team members. Most of the ships ingame were done by me, and all of the shader modifications were done by me, although many of the scripting decisions were collaborations with the other team members.
iostream is working on the music, akeean is working on the Amarrian models/rigging, mantaray is working on the build/research scripting, I'm doing the ship scripting, Gallente/Caldari/Minmatar importing & rigging, engine mods, etc...

-- Progress Bump --
See the post above for a link to a recent video I made showcasing the Gallente ships ingame (check it out, the shaders are flippin' sweet.) Note that it uses the x264 codec (playable with any H264 decoder.) I'd also like to announce that I finally got the dockpaths working properly on my ships, so the actual gameplay (building ships, resourcing, etc...) can get a little loving.
Screenshots of the preliminary dockpaths on the Thanatos:

PS the Catalyst is ingame: screenshot

first,i would like to thank you guys for the work and time you are putting in this mod
i loved HW,HW cataclysm and i love HW2,however i love EVE too,so this mod is the ultimate "double pleasure pack" for me 
and f`course it will be awesome to play during downtimes and such
you are making really good progress,im constantly watching this thread and chewing my fingers off waiting for the release
KEEP IT UP
ooh btw,will close-range cruisers etc have the behavior as we like to use them?
i.e. the Thorax,orbitting target and melting it on the fly
YARRR,luv ya Zatch

A variety of short and long range ships will be included, and they will orbit or align to their targets as appropriate. At the moment, only capital ships align to their target: this is where dreadnoughts will turn at a 20 degree angle facing the target so that the capital sized guns can fire without clipping through each other. Also the capital ships never orbit their target because of their slow gun tracking.
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before but I have decided to tweak the base speeds of the different ship classes. For example, frigates get a 100% boost to their base speed, destroyers get a 50% boost, etc... This gives the player a reason to build frigates (fast tracking, high speed ships) as opposed to destroyers (fast tracking guns, but lower speed and acceleration,) although they both have their uses. This also keeps the gameplay from feeling too slow, since the base speeds of ships in EVE are, by default, not actually all that different (between tech 1 ships) until afterburners and MWDs are included. Since in the mod we will not allow the player to "fit" an AB/MWD, we compensate by applying a constant speed boost. :)

It can; I've been play-testing and tweaking the shaders for performance throughout the mod's development. :)

Never played HW1 or 2. When this is done i'd be tempted to obtain a copy.

I wish Eve carriers could lauch drones/ships as shown in those screenies of yours. I sooooo hate the starburst launch effect we have now.
Keep up the great work I can't wait to play it!

Here's my two cents!
Nice effort you're making. I hope it will be great.
The idea of using the titans as motherships however is a bit off...
Caldari Prime: Think of that moment, remember what they did...

Titans are not being used as the equivalent of HW2's motherships, we have reserved control towers for that role. Titans will be useful for ferrying your smaller ships over large distances, as well as providing logistics and fire support on the spot.

Small update: I've been working on the Navitas, the Gallentean mining frigate, so that I may begin to put the real game mechanics in place (resourcing, building, etc...) I chose to create a brand new model for the mining lasers, to get around the problem of trying to get animated turrets to track an asteroid (which they cannot fire at, since it is a resource) and then have an effect come out too. Instead, I have these "mining pods" (which I created) fitted, from which a laser effect will emit if while the ship is resourcing (or, if that isn't possible, a generic vacuum sort-of effect, the reverse of a rapid air exhaust in space.)
Screenshots:

Edit: I have also toned down the glow layer on the Thanatos. After the most recent shader modification, glow maps became more intense, so I needed to go back and tweak any ship with a glow map featuring more than just point lights (e.g. the Thanatos has four docking bays that are glowing, not just little lights sprinkled all over the ship.)

Great work!
I followed this project since the first words about it have been announced, and iŠm most impressed! The ships are looking like directly from eve, only the background is clearly from HW.
CanŠt wait to get a playable version of this mod, even if it is an early beta!

Alright I know you're all tired of hearing about it, but I'm not happy with the mod's name. I'd like to choose between "EVE: Fleet Command" and "EVE: Ascension." Ready? Vote!
PS I'm making a new thread once the final name has been chosen. I need to have control over the first post, and I don't have that in this thread. Thanks again for all of your support, I look forward to teasing you all with more screenshots soon!
