Particularly the new blackbird/falcon that looks like our graphics rendering messed up and created some distorted box, that doesn't fit in with any of the other ships in eve. Or the way they ruined the paintjobs on many, if not most pirate faction ships. Or other iconic ships that got ruined like the vagabond.
OK, first, breathe with me: [ whwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhh ]
Now.
If you're referring to the Blackbird/Falcon/Rook being off-center in the camera, the new design revealed a specific issue with our old algorithm for calculating bounding spheres. A fix is in work.
As promised with CCP Mankiller's dev blog from December, Team TriLambda is revisiting every ship to improve the look. This work is also ongoing.
The art team knows we have farther to go to nail the looks of many ships in the game, and there are strong voices speaking for the players on this. Fixes won't be immediate but they are coming.

Sorry, but this won't be changing back. I liked the version based on the Cyclone hull too, but the idea is that ships with the same hull have similar weapon bonuses.

I'm pretty sure that particular idea came with the command ship rebalance. It wasn't part of some larger scheme.

Nexus Day wrote:All ships touched on design wise...looks like I will win the bet for number of correct predictions for 2015.
I don't believe that the comment in the CSM notes should be interpreted to mean that every ship would receive a redesign in any particular timeframe. Certainly not all in 2015. (Edit: I do intend to distinguish "redesign" of a ship from the texture rework that we're undertaking to improve the look of physically-based rendering.)
Quote:Here is an idea, how about new ships. Like completely new ships not based upon existing ships. Just an idea.
Like the Confessor and the Svipul, for example? :)

Kinza wrote:Art team putting polls on designs and calling for general design ideas from the player base would be awesome
This is unlikely, however the art team does see feedback posted here. As for other ways to get your feedback heard, we are planning to have a round table session at Fanfest that will provide an opportunity for player feedback. Also, CSM members often pass along art feedback, so you can consider contacting one of the CSM representatives.

Valterra Craven wrote:Why is it unlikely? Does the art department get some kind of special privilege to be exempted?
I'm sorry, I mean that a systematic program of surveys is unlikely. You are of course most welcome to post feedback in Features & Ideas (sorry, I had meant to include that explicitly, will edit) as well as offering it via CSM or in person at Fanfest.

Thanks for the visual reference. I've passed this question along to QA to check whether this is an intended change.

Sniper Smith wrote:How about we get the Dominix model updated? Given that we were shown it almost a YEAR ago, and have heard nothing since, apart from CSM Mike bringing it up.. But no actual answer as to if/when to expect the change.
The Dominix redesign is still coming at some point, but what's happened since Fanfest last year is that a lot of other work took priority over it. Work like introducing PBR, the upcoming PBR texture and shader update pass, the updated Blackbird/Falcon/Rook models, the T3 tactical destroyers, new NPC designs like the Circadian Sleeper, plus a schedule of upcoming game assets that I'm not prepared to reveal just yet.
EVE's flying-in-space graphics and art team, Team TriLambda, has been booked solid for several months now, and priorities are continually reassessed based on other teams' requests, our own desires for what we'd like to see changed, and ultimately what we can do to make EVE look the best.
The reason nobody's come up with a firm answer on when the new Dominix is coming is that we aren't sure yet when we'll be able to fit it in. That said, there will be a slew of other art improvements in the upcoming releases, such that there won't be any ambiguity about what we've been doing instead.

Now we're onto an idea I can get behind.

Sniper Smith wrote:Every time it was mentioned by a player (Or even CSM in the minutes) it wasn't addressed. As you know from the minutes, I was in the room for the CSM session. It was clearly stated in the room that the Dominix is still on our list of upcoming redesigns and had been omitted from the presentation slide by mistake. (In fact, it was added to the slide in real time as it was brought up!)
The notes meant to make clear that it's still coming, but unfortunately the wording may have left it more ambiguous than we intended at the time.
Quote:Also, I agree, lock you guys in with beer.. more beer will be provided as more work is done :D
It's on.
