Civ Kado Antares Astronautics 104	Posted - 2016.01.16 01:00:13 - [1] - Quote This is like a really, really low priority change, but it'd be nice for eye candy. I love the way they look in Elite and SC.
Reaver Glitterstim Dromedaworks inc Test Alliance Please Ignore 2869	Posted - 2016.01.16 01:27:46 - [2] - Quote I like the idea! I did a bit of work with textures to generate a mockup of how this might look in-game: metallic arkonor (WIP) FT Diomedes: "Reaver, sometimes I wonder what you are thinking when you sit down to post." Frostys Virpio: "We have to give it to him that he does put more effort than the vast majority in his idea but damn does it sometime come out of nowhere."
Iain Cariaba 2342	Posted - 2016.01.16 03:30:47 - [3] - Quote With a few exceptions, most ores in the real world look nothing like their processed counterparts. Most ores lack the metalic shine until they've been processed at least a little. EvE is hard. It's harder if you're stupid. I couldn't have said it better. Hello, Mr Carebear. Would you like some cheese with that whine?

I understand the need to make them easily discernable, but they are really funky looking now. Especially the high value rocks.

That image was taken from in game. I like metallic asteroids, but we already have plenty of them. Check plagioclase, omber, and a wide variety of asteroids found mostly outside of highsec. I'm happy with how metallic they are now, and I like the variety in which some of them are rocky or have other interesting features, like Spodumain which is basically a big rock with a HUGE green crystal group growing out of it.

Well the base level ores are fine, but the others are funky. Its fine to have crystals, but they don't even seem natural on the high end ores. Crystals never get that big. Maybe I'm just fussy though. I am a geologist in RL... =ƒÿ¢
Rivr Luzade Kenshin. DARKNESS. 2216	Posted - 2016.01.16 20:47:57 - [7] - Quote Looks quite big for me for a little Amethyst rock.Or you remember the Cueva de los Cristales in Mexico with its huge salt crystals. As far as I remember, it's also theorized that there are gigantic diamonds and other mineral crystals floating/forming in the mantle/outer core of the Earth. And even about planets so rich in carbon compounds that diamonds form on the surface. Especially the crystal on the huge Spodumain rock in the ore anom looks a bit exaggerated, but as for the normal small Arkonor or Hedbergite rocks, the crystal formations look quite in line with expectations on crystal growth in outer space. UI Improvement Collective My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
Bumblefck Kerensky Initiatives 10300	Posted - 2016.01.16 21:30:51 - [8] - Quote Just replace the current designs with cardboard signs saying 'Veldspar', 'Arkonite', or whatever - and funnel the graphical and server resources hitherto used from the useless floating rocks to either 1) cooler looking ships, and/or 2) to combat the spread of the retina-searing nebulae.

Nafensoriel KarmaFleet Goonswarm Federation 257	Posted - 2016.01.17 13:40:51 - [9] - Quote Ok... if we want realism then you wouldn't really be able to see another asteroid whilst sitting on an asteroid. Also asteroids are not actually metal looking. You see one of the largest misconceptions is that things in space don't "rust". Corrosion is very real and very dangerous to objects in space. Atomic oxygen is a great example of this... a better one is radiation in its various forms. Good Primer on how radiation actually damages things. This is one of the few example images of simulated radiation damage to metals Due to the above you will rarely see "metal" objects look shiny. Additionally most solar objects are formed from extreme energy exchanges which naturally precludes a degree of melting and homogenizing of materials with similar melting points. Basically.. if you want "real" space you'd find it visually very black and white, dull, and utterly beautiful in that simplicity. However the distance between objects would render a certain need for extreme patience.
Civ Kado Antares Astronautics 106	Posted - 2016.01.18 16:15:29 - [10] - Quote who said anything about realism?
Rivr Luzade Kenshin. DARKNESS. 2221	Posted - 2016.01.18 17:03:56 - [11] - Quote No one, but your unimaginative chromecoated asteroids would look terrible. The metallic shimmer on the crystals on Arkonor/Hedbergite or Gneiss looks great, but all asteroids with this same shimmer all over would just be rubbish.

Nafensoriel KarmaFleet Goonswarm Federation 259	Posted - 2016.01.18 20:07:48 - [12] - Quote A few post above it started to sound like people wanted "real" rocks. The OP was fairly disingenuous though I will admit. With that in mind though a little "space magic" realism might not be terrible.. at the very least it would relieve the art department from some heavy lifting and well.. I'm not a geologist but I am a sucker for anything created with big booms and high energy events! Some of EVEs ores are actually real: Gneiss A few letters added in:hemimorphite Also sorosilicates are just bloody cool in their diversity. Kernite..yep looks like kernite Eve art guys do their homework. Plagioclase as Plagioclase.. Spodumain is green uranium. No pictured but I've seen countless real life examples of the stuff. I guess my point is a mineral doesn't need to be flashy to be gorgeous. Very few are metallic anyway. Silicates and carbons rule the universe my friends.. dull it up a little and give it some randomness! I'm also sure that when CCP decided the time to go full 2k textures you'll see things like this happen. Just don't expect it soon. Full 2k EVE is a whopper according to the devs.
Bumblefck Kerensky Initiatives 10312	Posted - 2016.01.18 20:14:14 - [13] - Quote A better idea - when a miner's strip miner cycle ends, make asteroids deal 10k AoE omni-damage...a 'thank you' from the belts for years of unmitigated barbarism AND fuelling the player-driven economy.

You forgot Veldspar is like Feldspar. I think Pyroxeres is real. Hedbergite may or may not be named after a late comedian. If Hemimorphite is a thing, maybe morphite is as well. Ochre is real, but it isn't an ore I don't think... Tritanium is real. Pyrite is real. Mexallon I think is real. Starmade has a mineral called Nocx.

Elyia Suze Nagala Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 71	Posted - 2016.01.19 19:00:47 - [16] - Quote Titanium vs Tritanium? Veldspar = Feldspar, but Plagioclase is a subgroup of the Feldspar family. Sooo... Smh....

I'm sure they'll pass along the cost 3 gold to their buyers.
