I just hope the firing effects of all ammo (projectices, hybrid charges, and missiles) get an upgrade. Its the weakest part of the graphics IMHO. Kindof ironic to have such great ship/environment graphics coupled with crappy firing effects. |

What did you expect they'd look like, port holes? When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.
Also, I can kill you with my brain. |

Well animated particle junk flying off when strikes are made against the hull and acutal more holes and the sort but yeah just reskins in a damaged state.
What you're talking about I think thats another 10 years down the road when they can get dots working right or other technolgies not yet available.

It has been brought up before, but I would hazard a guess that it would involve more work to modify the model of the ship to accommodate a "bay" that opens as opposed to a turret that is simply added to existing hard points. It also is complicated by how to handle different numbers of missile launchers added, although they could simply make it a matter of "anything more than one missile launcher added gets the same bay graphic"... which would be a little under whelming.
This is true. A lot of the missile boats would have bays deeper than their hardpoints would allow, leading to weird Tardis effects. EVE why u no obey Newtonian Physics? Sure wish I could fit med artillery on my frigate to. http://i.imgur.com/PUZou.jpg

Come to think of it, the strike effects should probably be just that: effects from the strike, much like how we now have missile explosions and those weird shimmering effects from lasers and hybrids GÇö not something that's really tied to the ship model.

Yea... put graphic designers on rebalancing hybrids.   
But please, first, sign here that you will not complain any more:

When not in huge fleets, you should be able to play Eve with full graphics and effects unless your computer is ... not good. Also, what is the purpose of spinning ships without full graphics on? I can't imagine an Eve without ship spinning.
EDIT: Also, I look forward to the day of seeing dynamic missile launchers on my Drake/Gu. |

Loaded up the one called Test Launcher, and Siege.
Those two already have mesh animation data tied to them for active/inactive, deploy/pack, fire/reload. |

Maybe/probably because there's not enough room on a slot to make that work, or look good.
Or: It's always possible to look at a ship and tell what weapons it has, which wouldn't quite work if there was just "a hole".
I'm not into missiles, but i see that they are making different launchers, for different missile/rocket classes ... so they probably try to stay consistent.
Besides ... it's cooler this way. :) Inappropriate signature removed. Spitfire |

I've always just assumed the missile launchers used some sort of advanced cloaking technology. |

Port holes, fixed, solid ejection bays, no moving parts, just openning and closing. Manticore has beautiful launchers.
This turret thing is rubish. |

perhaps the bomb launcher will be a hatch of some kind.
There was a statement/rumour going around that they where redoing stealth bombers.
Something like the malleus would do nicely. - [img]http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/janus/ceosig.jpg[/img] [yellow]English only please. Zymurgist[/yellow] |

A raised area on the hull might be fine for the Drake and Manticore (although the Manti only has two launchers showing), but doesn't work at all for the vast majority of ships that can optionally use launchers.
Most of the more visually interesting SciFi shows show missile batteries/arrays, I have no problem with EVE becoming even better in this aspect. When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.
Also, I can kill you with my brain. |

Most hulls should be modified to aesthetically allow launcher hardpoints. E.g. a Drake warping has a smooth surface, but when it's ready to do it's business, the launchers will sort-of peek out (which also means an empty Drake probably has a few gaping holes in it). Manticore should have it's tacked on launchers removed, instead showing hardpoints.
I do really feel sorry for whoever has the task of redoing missiles visually, and I'm guessing it could take quite a while for everything to be ready for missiles. Launcher models are just a tiny step in this process. |

How will torp launchers scale with stealth bombers though, I wonder? They won't. That's how... I guess. Who cares, really? |

Either they get another weapon with comparable stats to existing launchers, or the launchers get two distinct models, one of which would be designed to fit on bombers.
Pick your poison.
Also, just throwing this out here, current VLS as used on the Arleigh Burke class destroyers cannot be reloaded at sea. If they've been fired dry, the ship is pretty much toothless. |
