one thing that I have wanted them to fix for years are missile launchers. a) that they show up, b) that each missile is launched from the said hard points, so for instance if in a raven you donÆt just get a orb of death (fig A) but 6 individual missiles coming from different areas of the ship (Fig.B) (ie a bit more believable)

Personally I like the way weapons fire looks for the most part, only thing I could think of changing would be polishing up the hybrid weapon discharges and making missile launchers have visible mounts.

Are you serious? Are you on medication?

The fire sound and visual effects need MAJOR overhaul, they are utter **** at the time. Also when i use my hybrid turrets, i just scroll away from the ship so i don't have to hear the annoying shooting effects. Thats how serious it is for some of us.

Sound and physics could either go before, after, or the same time as the 2008 updates.

I think it would be cool to have an 'impact against shields' graphic. I.e. you don't see the shield normally, but when it is impacted you see the shield flicker in a bubble around the ship. I would like that :)

I want to see pulse lasers become actual pulses while beams become more continuous

right now "pulse lasers" are just beams that flash off and on... kinda lame

---

uh... they're lasers. even a pulse laser is still a laser, therefore it travels at the speed of light. the fact that they are short pulses of laser energy rather than a continuous beam is just right, IMO.

perhaps lenghtening the animation on beam lasers would greater demonstrate teh difference, but i think what you're expecting is for pulse lasers to fire like a plasma rifle from halo, with distinct bolts, right? well that would make it a plasma rifle, not a pulse laser.

of course, strictly speaking, these shouldn't be a visible beam from a laser of either the pulse OR beam variety, since all the photons are travelling in the same direction, thus the only way you'd see them is if you were shot in the eye (you'd see a flash for an instant, just before your eye -and head- was vaporised by the beam)

IMo all explosions needs to be scaled down to make our battleships feel bigger, ie 50km explosion is too much, something like 200m fireball exploding on side of the ship would be much more eyecandy.

Missiles with contrails that fade over time.

Webs and jammers should have a visual effect going from the origination ship to the target similar to what you see with Nos. (Would really help with identifying who's doing what.

Anything that makes battleships that are supposed to house thousands of people look bigger is a great idea.

Right now I feel like the scale is off, and the larger ships don't look as epic and enormous as they should.

Jammers already have an animation. And the missile contrails sound really cool on paper. But consider the implications:
Huge fleet battle with lots of missiles = 5 SPF (not FPS).

My biggest disappointment with the gunfire graphics of EVE was first time I fired an artillery piece. I was expecting a big*** plume of smoke and a good *****ing bang, but what I get is a little yellow ray and something that sounded like a handheld drill skipping over a metal plate.

I've always imagined a something along the lines of 18th century warefare when it came to artillery.

It would be cool if:
- A turret shot around and past the target when the turret misses.
- A turret shot the target's shield's edge, if the target had over 5% shield.
- A missile would explode at the target's shield's edge, if the target has over 5% shield.
- Each missile hardpoint would have a separrate location on the ship's model it launches from.

Yeah, pretty disappointing. Especially considering when the largest projectile weapon ever constructed in real life was merely 800mm. But it had enough punch to penetrate 80 meters of reinforced concrete.
