EVE Online: New Ship Model Comparison

[439sparky1]

Eve has the best looking modesl of any MMO and yet you can't steer the ship with WASD and trianing takes long ass.. But I love the game anyhow plus the new weapon deployment update comes out!

[rockbodfour]

@439sparky1 But you can steer the ship with WASD just not how you expect W=orbit A=align S=warp to D=activate ie docking jumping infact this navigation has been improved although random at times on the D cos sometimes it will warp to gate and jump otherwise it just warps to gate/station and sits there. Plus auto pilot now takes you all the way to the station and docks you

[cejason]

WHAT WAS THAT FIRGATE FRIG?!

[R4Akai]

some olds looked better

[vyrewatch12321]

is eve better than wow, and will i be able to play if i say im 13?

[Droogie128]

@vyrewatch12321 EVE has an extremely high learning curve. Extraordinarily complex and involved. WoW is pick up and learn in a day. Hard to compare the two. I personally hate WoW, so it doesn't take much to be better in my eyes.

[phantomzassassin]

the prophecy looked bettin as the older model

[ramprire]

SHINY!

[JuniorDExchangecore]

The old ones look like what I've got now.... why no new??

[Undeadspiral]

If your graphics aren't maxed out it won't look like the "new" one. If your using the graphics the game starts you off at. you'll see the old graphics

[JuniorDExchangecore]

@Undeadspiral They are maxed out. Looks NOTHING like that.

[dutchgangsters]

i like the old one new one suck

[Helge129]

@dutchgangsters the old ones suck.

[jessegullick]

Are these like new new graphics?

[Undeadspiral]

no, the "new" is now the current, the old is still well the old stuff.

[jessegullick]

okay lol thought so

[SvenBex]

gallente ships are good for pvp

[x0raclex]

I'm not the only one who gets Nostalgia for Classic Graphics, right?

[StevoE26]

u r not alone my friend!

[bloodywing1]

I would say, a Rifter (cheap, fast and easy to fly). You need someone other with a Industrialship (Stealthindustrial, would be the best choice here).

[TimiS0]

good cube maps are good

[shoopdewooooooop]

ohoh. joinin the dark side i see? well i suggest that u start off with a tristan and stay with a high sec status, and then skip the caty, and then get a cruiser called a vexor. to get the 4 mil do all of the tutorial careers and start the epic arc then once you got yer vex, save up for a myrmidon, and start going into low sec areas and start pirating =D (btw when i started i wanted to be a pirate, but now im a hard core miner makin billions. *hint hint*)

[IAMTOTALLYAWESOMEGUY]

why, a rifter of course!

[Joeofthejungle24]

well if I were you i would start off galente and get a tristan, as i believe they are the best frigates in the game (dps wise)

[eno88]

with that attidude you'll get your afterburner handed to you mate...

[lulzimi]

rofl

[Hero565]

its funny how those "nerds" make WAY MORE money than the people that insult them xD

EvE is the perfect example of just how much money

[Pentence]

Damn right and we love it that way :D

[dardraa]

woot!

[walkerk19]

So yeah... I heard that nerds create those things you enjoyed today. Oh hey! It's true!

[leborico]

for most of them like the old ones better, new shaders, specular and all this shit hides all the nice mate texture and the details.

don't overuse the technology kids.

i don t like clean shiny fake graphics.

[UnbeltedSundew]

And the Mimitar one still looks like a chunk of crap.

[Mattisbehindyou]

he must be burned at the stake!

[TySpoonz]

In some ways, the old version looks better.

but overall the new engine is better.

[gregorbailey13]

caldari arent the best in pvp actually

most pirates use gallente ships for pvp

[Shifterzs]

i think they work best together, usign the close range (gallente) to defend the long range (caldari).

[ARM02]

In my 14 day trial, i got up to a catalyst, with an engineer character. 6x150mm high-spec gaus guns at 30km ftw :D

[routhoula]

if they didn't include a damage system in the retouche then i concider the visual improvement totaly useless

[trentonx]

your not alone and don't worry it's coming.

[Kovaji]

Source?

[trentonx]

the jovian wet grave, eve main site.

it's on the top left under backstory, then shortstories, then jovian wet grave on the bottom the very 1st fiction put up on the site.

"As you know there is no sound in space, but when we were developing the capsules we found that people wanted to use as many of their senses as possible, thus we added the sound. By letting a computer create three dimensional sound we also add to the awareness you have while in battles, for instance." "

[AlexF1508]

The pirate frigate design is wicked!!

[vkjumpstyle]

AMARR ARE THE BEST  !!!!!

[turbooggyboy]

Not in pvp.

[moshmachine]

Agreed Caldari Own!

[Calagar1101101]

whoa how do i get these graphics? are they premium?

[Pronumeral1447]

premium graphics content - yeah, when you download the extra client

[macca1088]

yeah i like the textures of the old ships... they should merge them together

[canoeshoe]

they should just let you customize a tone on your ship, so u can have both old and new models

[acountddd]

hmmm I dunno some of the ships look great in the new version but some of the old ones look a bit better, has that rusty/old feel to them, now all the ships just look really shiny.

[MidnightMarrow]

I don't think metal rusts in space.. ;)

[acountddd]

well they're not always in space, plus there's no sound in space either so how come we can hear shooting. -_-

[JBlover31]

If we can't hear our guns blazing then it would be boring as hell.

[acountddd]

exactly, so I was just explaining to the guy why they could make the ships rusty.

[MarkMeister449]

The explanation for sound in space is that the on board computers create the sound of the guns, engines and other things, so the pilots know that they are working and so they don't go crazy because of the never ending pure silence.

[acountddd]

I see...interesting...

[ARM02]

I believe metal abrades in space. Possibly even sublimates.

You would hear the sound of the guns resonating through the ship, and when the ship got hit, you would hear it. Solids transmit sound very well, gerenally.

[MidnightMarrow]

Yeah the sound or vibration would be sent through the hull of the ship thus allowing you to hear the sound your ship makes now unless your hit by the other ship I think you wouldn't hear a thing.

[trentonx]

it's not real sound. your pod emulates sounds so you can fight in space without losing your mind.

[ShoftielBoel]

you know, the thrasher doesn't look all that different, I guess it's hard to improve on the perfection of ductape coated hulls. :)

[scorpionkgo]

have done this to every ship in the game?

[Helge129]

yeah, the company has redone basically everything

[kaoticher0]

Will my 7900 GS perform ok? Game-O-Meter says I meet all requirements for Trinity except the 8800 nVidia or comparable GPU chipset. I score a little under 8,000 on 3DMark without overclocking or putting more cooling or other fancy upgrades. Ive played EVE Before but this is gonna bring me back -IF- my PC will run the new features without problems.

[vashwsa1]

yes i run the high graphics on and nvidia 6800 so....

[burninator34]

2.4 ghz core 2 duo

4 gb 667mhz RAM

Nvidia 8600m GT

MACBOOK PRO

I hope it will run trinity! I know a PC of the same configuration would run it beautifully but I'm never sure with Mac clients for games. Extremely buggy and needlessly slow.

[wizzoh]

If you can't run it, I then all but macpro users would be alienated in the mac release, and that might just be a silly choice. I'm running the current having never seen lag with a MBP 2.16core 2, 2GB of ram, and the older X1600 Radeon for graphics, if anything, you won't have too much trouble, but I will.

[ihateuall111]

they may look bland on you tube that cuz u tube rendering sucks. the ships are gonna look sweet if you haven already seen them on the test server

[Morkh]

It's nice that we are about to see better graphics, but are they really the main thing in EVE? No, they're not. When playing EVE, let's say you're killing some rats, you most likely have the camera about 10-20 km's away from your ship and hostile ships are just few pixels on your screen too... You just see some pixels flying around.

There are some features what I'd really like to change in EVE, but graphics arent first in the list.

[Indoril5]

they look....bland

[onigojira]

Oh goody.. some of my favorite ships look more bland and colorless than ever. Thank you CCP for this 'update'.

[iikraveniik]

watch this in a real video player with better resolution. its very nice and it looks different when u look closer.

[SpinDizzyMR]

The new ship skins are certainly lacking in color thats all I can say, might've been able to change color settings to black and white if it werent for the nebula backgrounds.

[Misery1988]

CCP put 50 man years of work behind the Trinity 2 engine, it should get out some time this november, and it will look awesome.

Better yet, even though the engine is DirectX 10 based, it will preform better, not look as good but run smoother, on old gfx cards as well.

[crazykinux]

Trinity 2 is DX9, not 10.

[EATABAGOFHELL]

Makes sense, considering how few people have been willing to inflict Vista on their system so far.

It requires a shader model 3 video card though, right? Damn my ancient-ass AGP motherboard!

[crazykinux]

Than you should get the NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB DDR3 from XFX. It's support everything you'll need for Trinity!

[aapiesnuf]

they should make the flames coming out of the boosters look better :)

[lordmonfort]

is there a hi-res vesrion somewhere?

[crazykinux]

See my bog post on it.

[eduardvictor]

nice!

[qndsilver]

hmm

[trentonx]

that's all you can say!

it's pretty :)
