First of I'll say this, to avoid potential trolls, I haven't been to ALL the star systems in eve, so bare with me here...
We have nice nebulae (far away), half-decent planets, moons and suns... how about some Halo type objects? Or a Dyson Sphere system? Or how about some binary star systems, moving meteors/comets... stuff like this.
All I'm saying is, why not mix it up a bit?

I'd be happy with just new backgrounds. Ones that don't have half the galaxy covered in nebula.

Edited by: Siberys on 12/08/2008 22:36:17 I want us to be in a big purple gas cloud that obscures things beyond 50 km. And when you fire capital weps, the gas heats up and makes people who fly through it to take damage...

Edited by: Idara on 12/08/2008 22:40:02 It'd be nice to have any information at all concerning upcoming graphics updates.
I mean we got the ships and all, and we're told that everything would be done, it just would be great to hear something about what's being done next and when it can be expected.
Or even just a developer teaser of a new highres planet or something.
Also, all you people wanting to remove the background, man you're dull. Sure it's every constellation that has a background colour scheme and maybe some should be toned down, but everything all black? Boring. ---

My epic battleground idea.
something that you can hide in would be cool, like the gas clouds in homeworld2 multiplayer. Limits sensor range and such when you're in it, and outside you simply can't see into it (and i mean see, not out of lock range).
you know, just to add something different than a giant box (the grid) that you kill each other in. ---------

I think environments like that have been on the drawing board forever. Just like system-wide belts/fields.
They're probably as far off as planetary flight it seems.  ---

ya that would be great, altho slightly useless... but still great
anyway, dont drift offtopic guys, I know a lot of you want to get rid of all the BG noise, but that is what makes eve look great. the stuff im talking about would be more like objects in a solarsystem, like stations etc

IIRC Trinity took about 90 man-years, and that just covers the ships and station models. I'd hope that this could be done a bit faster than that, but at least they've covered the objects that people spend the most time looking at. Zzz research towers Direrie NEW: Liekuri

Actually I think it was mentioned that the coming revamp was more difficult to get right then Trinity part 1! And as such was to be undertaken last! If I remember correct it was much more difficult to get right and pretty difficult too if I understood it correct.. Dont ask me why but Ill take their words for it.

if they added that option, then some 75% of players would do it just like they currently disable sound...  ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless.

Ohhh, nice. QFT. I saw a post somewhere where the idea was that each constellation was static, same background. Depending on where you were within that constellation, the background would shift slightly and colour would vary a bit. This idea of a vector or map line drawn on screen is just crazy cool.
Somehow I have a feeling that the tax on the server would also be crazy tho.... |

Nah actually if you go out in the middle of nowhere, on a clear night you can clearly see a cloud ring banding from horizon to horizon. I've only seen it when I go camping out in Big Bend Natl. Park. But it's there, and I can only assume it's the rest of the Milky Way. I love going camping there and make it a point to go when the moon is in between it's crescents,.. looking up at that nighttime sky really makes you realize that you're just an ant crawling on the side of a rock floating somewhere in space. xD
Those x3 screens are awesome though. o.O

The graphics extension 'only' gave us an update to the most common objects we look at. Lots of the other objects and the particle effects remained the practically the same. I have high hopes that in due time these will be replaced as well. I think the engine is ready for it, and when the work will be done, they will be introduced as well.
Then again, I'm an optimist ... -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |

Originally by: Hook1971 We might see huge nebulae looking through the eyes of a large telescope. But we are not looking through telescopes. So please give us back black space. Thank you.

What you're seeing there is the Milky Way. Literally - our galaxy (it was later found out that it's our galaxy) was named after it. --

You're Right, we're not using a telescope when looking at our ship out in space, we're using high-tech camera drones built with technology 20-30k years ahead of ours. Of course that isn't capable of more impressive feats then our own 2 eyes, we demand black space and no nebulas, naow.

Sounds like maybe late next year, but don't hold your breath.

Id definitely like to see more than just the token "relics of the past" floating around space. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

Originally by: CCP Atropos I'm just copying from other threads, but I believe these contain what you're looking for:
Originally by: CCP Atlas
The graphics upgrade that started with the Trinity expansion has not been completed yet and it is a massive multi-stage undertaking.
Effects will be completely revamped in an expansion hopefully next year... and it will be awesome. 
And
Originally by: CCP Atlas
Nebula revamp is a part of the ongoing graphics upgrade that started with the Trinity expansion so this is on our schedule... And it's going to be awesome. 
At first the ginormously nanve part of me thought 'wait, that was probably said back in december when trinity was first released, right? so hopefully *this* year, right?' alas it was not the case.. it was said only a matter of days ago :( HOPEFULLY in 2009, that's... pretty damn depressing.

Its getting even more depressing the moment you know that the revamp of planets is on the "wish-list", but there is no date set for it yet.
There was a post from a dev about this, search it if you dont believe me. On the other side, i'm happy they are still working on it at all to be true, other games never bother to update grafics at all.
