I have this really bad bug, all the gallente ships now look really ugly. Switching back to the old graphics fixes it though.
Great to see the games evolving and more things are being added.
Pro's to Trinity; The new ships, PVP centric and all desirable. The new drone mechanic does seem to be keeping my drones under command far better.
Pro's to Premium Trintity; The lines! DEAR GOD THE CURVES ON MY SEXY GALLENTE SHIPS! And the somewhat fun lines on the other ships I fly. The Enyo looks rather tough and mean and the lance is chunkier, which works.
Cons to Trinity; boot.ini... enoughs been said. POS jump bridges? Jump clone Implant suprise! Myrmidon hold the drones...
Cons to Premium Trinity;
My Dominix... its less ugly cool drone boat and now a Fischer Price "My first Carrier!" And the Premium Sin isn't some non-premium black and pink affair which I would have played KISS to piloting.
The Megathrons lines, as I have mentioned are drop dead gorgeous, when planning to fly it for a while I load the premium package and restart EVE. Then when I am getting back to other stuff I turn it off. The dull rough powder blue/grey look of every other ship in the T1 range bores me. I believe that the ships are made by different ship yards, so why are they all painted the same?
The Amarr; I fly with a couple other Amarr pilots, in Amarr space. bring back the bling! The Absolution looks great with its matte shine and crimson highlights. Its not a high gloss sheen I fell in love with in the shuttle, yes the shuttle.
Candy Canes! Ever fly the Ishkur? a Helios? even the Ares I think had them... Swirly candy cane appendages. It may not be much but I rather liked having them on the ship.
Yes, most of my complaints with Primo Trinity is the skinning...
Since Premium is about graphics, and the new models are great, why is it that I feel like my ships are worth less... even bleached and homogenized?
The Paintshop, another Station Service is a graphics upgrade that some people like and some people dont... so far they haven't spoken up :)
I dont know how the game handles ships entering and leaving the grid, I imagine once its on the grid you're sent info about it, where it is, speed, and the like. Among this information 1 byte, a table referenced color character tells you what the ships base colour is, its highlight colour, and if applicable or possible the sheen you want over your ship (none, matte, gloss, 'bling').
