Wow!!!
I haven't seen this big of a derailment since that one movie with the nuclear bomb on the runaway train. Come to think of it, the resulting train wreck kinda reminds me of this thread as well.
Suffice to say, some people swear by classic graphics for what they do with their particular setup of equipment, others swear by premium. I myself fall into the later category, as premium graphics tends to run very smoothly for me indeed. Any lag issues I have had in large battles had nothing to do with the quality of my graphics settings... and thanks to the recent rollbacks I have had the oportunity to test that theory a few times when trying to log back in and operate under heavy lag conditions.
So yes, the further work on graphics will apparently take place on all of the non-ship items in game. Fair enough. A prettier game is always a plus (I've always been a sucker for eye candy). And I to would like the higher end graphics options to include being able to turn on or off graphics options like "manuvering/braking thruster" graphics much like the fighters currently use (although it would be nice if the effects weren't totally random like they are on the fighters.. thats fine for fighters but would take away any realism gains if it were done randomly on actual ships).

Like with 90% of the fun questions, the answer is "go to fanfest" if you want more info on Trinity updates. This thread is a huge waste of time. |

I love small gang warfare so premium suffices for me, even on my older PC and with fraps rolling.  |

There's already a media for you people that need amazing photorealistic graphics. They're called movies.
Remember, folks: the more resources that get put into graphics, the less get put into gameplay. Just say NO to graphics *****s.
But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started. |

yeah, I was frankly baffled by the inclusion of "more work on the graphics engine!" in the "possible patch notes maybe to come in development perhaps" section of the next big patch teaser. No one I know plays in premium. At least not anyone who PvPs. Better graphics aren't really gonna be something I'll use as long as I'm in 0.0. I still don't know what most of my ships look like in premium.
I switched to premium the day it was available, and have never looked back. Never really noticed a change for better or worse vis-a-vis game performance, and when things are slow (read: camping stations) I can zoom in and go 'ooooh, ahhhhhh' at the shiny.

I can most certainly read it, but it's the verbal equivalent of having to crawl through a field full of hot coals and broken glass on my stomach
I'd say more like crawling on your balls... |

people still play in classic?
why classic lags far more in PvP.
unless you don't have a video card as classic only uses your CPU.

As long as EVE64 doesn't feel like it is run on a Commodore64 then I see it as a positive.
They upgraded the server using some snake implants and a Commodore64 on each node?
They really need to get their economy fixed and buy some decent stuffs.
hehe there using sticky back plastic to attach the nodes together :D
=/
So, to clarify a little bit IonKnight, some people play eve with what they can. Your condescending attitude is very insulting to people like me... You know, thats great that your daddy bought you an amazing computer. But I'm 19 and work a minimum wage job when I'm not at college. I'm lucky I can play eve at all.
tl;dr, stop being an ass and think of people other than yourself.
On topic... the Devs have stated that new textures will be introduced and old ones will be improved, and also that "Plants will be prettier than ever!" I for one am very excited to see planets that look like planets. POS textures will be new, and missile/turret effects will be updated. It will look like an entirely new game from last year.
EDIT: I use an ATI HD 2600 I bought last year. Prem graphics run well beneath "high" shadows. I turn shadows and HDR off for pvp. |
