Much better warp graphics (think wide lens, gamma flood, 'optical reverb')
Much better planet graphics (the current ones look about 15 years old, just colored blobs)
Much better backgrounds (if homeworld could do it so could eve)
Much better jump gate effects (cloaking and shooting a big laser is kinda lame imo)
I know we all want to see the sexy ships and all that jazz, but whats the point of flying a sexy ship through a coloring book? I'd much rather see everything else BUT the ships get overhauled first.
How many other games have you noted "well the atmosphere, effects, and backgrounds are utter crap, but the characters are really well modeled!"
Maybe it's easier to remodel and reskin current ships, but the key to any immersive game is atmosphere atmosphere atmosphere.

I agree.
I'd kill babies to have system wide dynamic lighting.
When you're at pluto's orbit (or further) the whole system shouldnt be flood lit.
Dynamic system lighting would add such a huge level to game play, it'd actually bring in the environment more than "crap this is a long warp"

They are implementing stuff like HDR and self shadowing... As for the effects. I don't think they are overhauling those yet... So we have to wait

I would prefer even darker. Now it's like a Mardi Gras everywhere, cheery, happy, festive and bright. Cosmic background radiation levels must be nuts...

I'd like to see darker backdrops too. The bright and colourful ones are wonderful, but there are too many. It would be nice to have some black!

At fanfest, it was stated repeatedly that the full graphics update is split over multiple expansions. The coming expansion brings us high-polygon models, high-resolution textures, and the shader model 3 rendering base (with all its perks, like HDR).
A coming expansion will update all the effects (ship engines, turret fire, explosions, backgrounds etc).

What I don't like is...
If you're in warp, try moving the camera to the side of your ship, and scrolling out. Note how your ship is no longer in the warp tunnel? WTF!
It's the same with most things in EvE. The back drop, I was quite unhappy, because I never noticed it, untill a friend said "Zoom in and out while looking at the back drop".
I cried.

I have to say, one thing I disliked about homeworld was the galaxy spanning space wrecks you constantly fought around. I just couldnt understand why I had to mine asteroids when there were star sized hunks of steel floating around.
Also, there is gravity in space, just not in the ether that eve takes place in.

Yeah, they should shelf the new ship models they've already done and redo backgrounds and effects first.

I'd love to see Pitch black space, where only your ship lights and nothing else. Scanners don't pick up anyone so attacks on people would be easy, and people would not venture into these zones. |

Weapons hitting shields effect would be nice, and a much much better totally revamped UI. The changes coming are a start, but its really still just a bad UI.

I think darker nebula backgrounds would add greatly to immersion and a more 'brooding' mood.
A station should be an island of civilization amid a sea of darkness... visible only by its multitude of lights. Only when you get close should you see the structure heave itself from the gloom.
The glow of lasers and missile detonations stand out so much better against dark backgrounds.
Hey... do this: Keep the nebula backgrounds in Empire bright and cheery, but make low-sec and 0.0 really dark. That'd get more people out of Empire.

Trinity is for models only. There will be a future patch that does effects.
Sad we'll have nice models with old effects

I hope CCP really tones down the nebulae's brightness when they release the 2nd graphics update. I am tired of having my eyes hurt by the Sun or some of the backgounds. You'd think our camera drones would have an automatic brightness filter, tbh.

Another neat detail was if the guns would actually miss when they miss. As it is now your ship takes a hit and only the text tells it was a miss. I remember my first days in EVE, speed and distance taking the rats I was scared ****less when I saw my ship light up with enemy fire, took me a few seconds to read that I wasn't getting hit.

And there is a lot less friction than EVE has also... but then, that'd be boosting nano ships if acceleration/deceleration worked like it does in space

I think that the new Trinity will also have new planet graphics would be kinda stupid if it didn't ( I could be wrong tho)

Your monitor is set to an unhealthy brightness, turn it down a notch or two.

Yes, they should, but isn't that what i posted, but with eyes rolling?
Considering ccp's valve like development schedule, i'd much rather have somewhat cruddy looking ships flying around in absolutely stunning environments than stunning ships flying around Super Mario Brothers maps.
And on that note, i'd MUCH rather see the rest of eve fleshed out and fixed before we get kickass new polygons. Just a few things:
Smuggling, smuggling bonuses, drugs, hookers, etc just seem to be missing pieces floating around in the void
Ship logs, they pop up very frequently but i've yet to see one that actually works correctly
Exploration sites, this one is a bit confusing. It's a brand new feature that right out of the box doesnt work right half the time
Its kinda like bulding an addition to a house with a leaky roof. Sure its not as sexy as new polygons, but at least it makes it seem more like a finished game than a working prototype
CCP, a request:
