Can we get updated models for the turrets as well I would love to see them look more like thier icon pictures (railguns with their blue glowing barrel. I mean im tired of looking at 3 blocks on a stick or a ball with a stick sticking out of it being called a turret also are we getting one for missile launchers as well? and Finally High utility slot modules from nos remote reppers and neuts and drone link augmenters could use a model too dont you think?

Yes!
The turrets in eve could look so much better. They look tiny and wimpy. Look at these turrets from homeworld :

Give us better looking turrets!

geezus those turrets are worse than eve's... and thats saying something.
Yes to better/moar turrets/missilebays/everything as long as it wont create lag/desyncs/stuttering/ take devs away from working on lag/desyncs/glitching graphics.

Compare the big ship guns with the turrets in EvE. The Battlecruiser in Homeworld has 4 or 5 guns, but they are wastly smaller than the ship it self. Like fitting small guns on a BS really .
But new graphics would be better.. where you can actually see a hit and miss.

indeed, andthey all come from the centre of the ship, regardless of how many launchers you have fitted. the drake model clearly has (8 - despite only having 7 hardpoints) launchers on the model, but the missiles spawn at the same point in the centre of the hull. ========================================== Iy

Nah if you play the PDS mod for Homeworld 2, you see some pretty interesting combat because all the big ships have loads of Dual, triple, and quad heavy guns, ASM's and AAM's, and dozens of point defense guns/missiles that just look awesome in a fight.
Now if only we could mount a point-defense module. That would rock.
Anyhow, new turrets ftw. Some of the turret models really stink.

The biggest issue is the fact that turrets "snap" to face whatever they're shooting at regardless of it's speed or the turret's tracking. If they're too big it'd be really weird to see giant turrets spinning around like a top if a BS is shooting at an interceptor orbiting it. ------------ Whiners - Unite! | Posting and You Tarminic - Forum Warfare Specialist. |

making fun of hw turrets?
i loved the turrets in hw, especially on the larger ships. i think they were modeled off the naval turrets; watching them turn and making that "whrrrr" noise was awesome.

Dynamic turrets? Yes please! Sure, the ones in-game now (sort of) turn and track targets, but I want to see them shoot. Recoil, muzzle flashes, the works. (Except lasers... dunno how those could be tweaked.)
And missile launchers? Hell yes. Being able to see volleys of missiles rippling away from my ship instead of "automagically" dropping from the underside... /me drools
If the game's getting a graphical update, how hard would it be to make a few changes to the weapons systems looks, too? -- Aeran Hermas

why is everyone asking for missile hardpoints to be shown?? that is currently the ONLY advantage us caldaris have now. Every other ship all u have to do is do a "look at" and see "ohhh thaty guys using 1400mm Howitzers, he's primary". Missile boats dont have that concern. Leave them the way they are.... |

Missile boats wont have that concern even WHEN they are visable, mainly cus they tend to be shield tanked and thus usually a bit phail at PvP ______________________________ A Request About Lag Discussion -- Yet another "Edit my sig devs!" request \o/ |

Beam lasers actually being beams would rock - just a continuous stream of fire, that did 'some' damage at the RoF rate. Makes it feel like you're actually melting the ship in front of you. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking? GMP and TNP |

Yeah, I want my 425's to be mighty, not just uh, a box with a barrel.
Autocannons look nearly comically like a machine gun - they even have a massive scope on them.
Gun upgrade, please.

I always thought the turrets looked kinda wimpy Just way too small. Take a look at this picture of the USS Arizona firing it's big guns. (the circles in the water are depressions from the shockwave)
See the size of the guns compared to the size of the ship? THAT is what the guns should look like! Heck, even on smaller ships like a coast guard cutter the guns are larger comparatively than they are in EVE. The only guns in EVE that are appropriately sized are Frigate guns.

the guns ARE huge they're just in scale... people are forgetting just how absolutely enourmous the ships in EvE are. you can't increase the size of a 250mm railgun and still call it '250mm'... i'll leave it to someone else to work out if the models do actually seem to scale though. but i would love launcher models _____________________________________ today i am this cool: [uncool]================[*]====[cool]

My guess: guns are kept as small as possible to decrease clipping.

None of you have posted a good picture of the GUNS, you are too busy posting pictures about the corvettes... yes, they have guns, but who cares? that is not what we are looking for. Someone get me a pic of a Hiig BC spewing fire at the vgr BC, with missiles spewing out of the vgr BC's topside... ohh and make sure you get a pic of that trinity cannon. /me rants on
on a site note, I saw in someone's sig a link to the youtube video of Nexus 2... aha, here it is... Look at those guns!

The homeworld BCs look awesome, I'll see if I can find a good picture. *goes play for a couple days*
I remember lance fighters, those were great for killing those pesky gun corvettes that bothered my fighters. Less hot against flak frigates though :S.
Also, homeworld missiles >>> Eve missiles for a couple of reasons. When a missiles target dies, the missile automatically follows the closest one. They still do damage after the ship that fired them dies. And last but not least, missiles fired from capital and super capital ships are slow and have trouble against fighters, but if they catch something, even as small as a corvette, it's one shot BBQ time .
Finally let me say this: criticizing homeworld turrets, and graphics, you fool!!!!!!!!!
