When I logged in this morning, I read the news item where Wrangler was going on about the next expansion and Trinity2 graphical shiny goodness.
And there was a pic...a "before" and "after" pic, showing the graphical difference between 2 ships, old engine and new engine.
It's gone from in-game news and website news.
Why?
And can we have it back?

they were removed because so many people criticised the windows on the new geddon. apparently. well, that's the popular opinion about why they've been missing in action for the last 24 hours. why they left the news item with no pictures up is anyone's guess.

Wow, that actually looks like crap. No wonder they took them down 
ps: I'm glad I found the torpedo nerf information this morning as I lurked the forums. Lol, definatly stopping my transfer from Amarr ships to Caldari ships to run missions. I've been having trouble coming back to eve because when I try and do level four missions in my Abaddon I just can't kill very quickly.
I have Amarr Battleships 5, large energy turrets 4, every other gunnery skill to 4 or 5. I'm fitting my ship to tank the missions I do with t2 equipment. I use Tachyon Modal laser 1's (closest I could get money wise to Tech 2 tachyons) and I still either miss ALOT against other battleships or it just takes me a long time to outdamage the 600mill+ BS rats. I thought about going Raven fully fitted with torpedos etc etc for easier missions. Now that they are going down the tube not sure If I want to go Gallente now or just try to cope with Amarr and skill up for T2 tachyons 
Side note: wtf's up with the new drone aggro rules I've been seeing? My drones never got randomly attacked by outside ships that I hadn't aggroed before I left. Now, when I'm in a mission I have to watch for missiles flying at my drones from ships 70km away I havn't aggroed yet. All I can ask is.....why?? 
tip for you: get pulse spec and use scorch L :/

That's funny. I was studying the two pictures and I have to say that I agree. The new windows kinda suck. Just nit-picking of course. The old design looks better.

Thats what I instantly noticed when I saw that news: New windows looks ghey.
I mean now we see so many windows and uberness so ships feels really big and awesome! But this new .. so many and small windows. Please fix it! 
It's great being Amarr isn't it.

Everyone should say this daily for these special people out there....
Graphical designers CANNOT fix bugs/lag. Get a clue please. If they put the design department onto fixing bugs and fixing coding to sort out lag they would proberly MAKE MORE BUGS/LAG in the process as they HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO FIX THOSE THINGS THEY DRAW PRETTY THINGS FFS

Again.. people who do the graphics arent the people who do the networking code. Plus, CCP would need the new graphics to be able to attract more people, to get more money, to hire new devs and get new servers to fix lag anyway.
Gotta think of the big picture XD

Well for those of you who look forward to the new shiprendering and station walktrougs ok I understand.. will be strange login into eve tho if the majority is docked wandering around the station o.O
BUt the artist deparpent could suggest a "battle" mode.. to the lag engineers, so in fleet ops and large ops with loads of ships, drones and effects you could swich to box mode or whatever makin the lag less pain I would be fine ina cube 10 x 10 x 10 pixels if ti would mean I could use the moduls :) Insted of waching my great looking ship go pop without enemies on the screen....

Reduce all models to a single polygon with a grey scale texture, textures are compressed in a lossy format like jpg. All ships, including npcs may use a polygon of no more or less than three sides. |

That would be the design department, not the art department. And there arlready is a "box" mode - just zoom out and ships will be rendered at dots instead of polygons.
Quote: Reduce all models to a single polygon with a grey scale texture, textures artists whole job reduced to picking a number, 0-127. All ships, including npcs may use a polygon of no more or less than three sides.

How has nobody noticed that the new Geddon is a work in progress? It doesn't even have a new model as far as I can tell. I have a feeling it will look a lot better when it's actually done.

The new model IS the WIP. And so what? Just because its a WIP, we're not supposed to criticize it? If we didnt criticize now, CCP would end up releasing something like that as a final product.

The problem is, you don't get the sense of scale with the windows in the new design. Like it's been said though, it's a WIP and hopefully it'll be sorted before it's released.

Well they were confident enough to put that WIP up with such horrible windows, how would you know?
And to the guy above me, theyre windows because devs called them that several times in past dev blogs about the scale of these ships. Believe it or not, our ships have crews in addition to our pods. It was in that chronicle in EON where some guy signed up to be a crew on a pod pilot's ship.

to everyone in this thread... I'm an artist. when I'm working on something that is WIP, I will show it to people even if it's not done. and when people say BLANK BLANK AND BLANK, look like ****, I will go back and fix those 3 things while finishing up the rest. if no one told me to change them I wouldn't have.
There is nothing wrong with criticizing. actully I'm sure the artist don't feel hate or sad or happy, it's just a part of being an artist.
now also, please trust me on this, but if everyone tell you they don't like your drawing, but you as the artist of the drawing like it. then you wouldn't change it, so as it was taken down, it is clear that the artist agreed with what has been said.
"if it looks good, it is good" that's what the eve art team runs on, and I see no reason to poke at them when they show us something that even non artist were able to point out very quickly.

I think the liability of having windows massively outweighs anything good by having your crew looking out them. They're supposed to be doing stuff, not screwing around looking out windows!
I'll just continue to believe that these lights are sensors or drone links or communications thingies.
And come on! Since when do so many people in Eve care about the RP aspect of how our ships look? I mean really, what benevolent God would allow the Moa to exist anyway?
