Er... could we get a new type of drone
A drone that can clean your ship, when it is dirty. ...add in some skills to learn & then we can charge other players for cleaning service
EVEBoard ...Just over 20million skill points, each skill was chosen for a reason. I closed my eyes & clicked another skill to train... "BINGO...!!!" ... "This time i got something usefull"

I'm not complaining. I'm asking whether it was considered. Am I missing something? The current implementation is using a static dirt value per my understanding and not degrading over time. There effectively isn't anything to reset unless I've overlooked some details.
If/when dirt becomes variable I'd be upset if there were no ways to reverse it, but for now what we've seen of the ships as they are launching leaves me quite satisfied. |

Maybe I'm the one missing something. I thought the dirt would vary over time, which struck me as a cool concept but disconnected from gameplay. A blanket dirt amount is even more so. A "dumb" feature that might as well be announced as "ships are going to be dirty."
What I think would be nice is something that reflected gameplay, like residue from an environment like a wormhole. I've pretended for RP that my gang was covered in wormhole dust after returning to K-space.
If you like all ships looking like they were lifted from a swamp on Dagobah, I can understand it. I can understand why devs thought dirt was worth having. I also think it opposes the shiny new look that I prefer.
It's just how it will be, I guess.

A "dumb" feature that might as well be announced as "ships are going to be dirty." EVE Ships already have had, for years, dirt on their surfaces.
Nothing is changing in this regard, other than that we have laid the technical groundwork for that amount of dirt to vary, should someone wish to implement such a feature in the future. Such a feature has not been designed and to my knowledge it's development has not been scheduled.
Note that, as of right now, the ONLY difference between High and Medium shader settings, both now and with the upcoming Carnyx release, is the presence of that dirt pass, so if you prefer the look of the ships in the game without dirt, you may set your shader settings to "Medium." I cannot promise that at some point in the distant future there may not be other differences between "High" and "Medium" shader settings, but for right now, that's a workaround that addresses what you don't like about the look of ships in the game.
As for "refusing to give us the shiny new colors we asked for," I recommend keeping an eye on future SKIN announcements rather than assuming that we can simply snap our fingers, like magic, and wish instantly new SKINs into being. If only it were that simple.

Is "after" the picture when you slide it to the right where "after" stands or is it the other way around where you slide the after picture over the before picture. It's not tremendously intuitive. Moving the bar to the left reveals the V5++ image. The labels are for the sides of the picture, not an indicator for the slider. I looked at them initially and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth. Using the Dirt pics as a guide is helpful. Perhaps next time you guys showcase the cool stuff you should put the label on the image itself so that when the slider is all the way to the left it reads "Sample A" or whatever on the left side of the image. Then for the other image "Sample B" is on the right side which can only be read when the slider is all the way to the right.

I know its 8 pages in, but as a graphic designer and computer programmer, I think this change is a work of art. Absolutely beautiful not just in the presentation but in the backend work to make it happen. I think these in depth art/coding dev blogs are pretty unique to the Eve community but I enjoy them the most. Much better than reading page after page of (much needed) sov changes :P. |

If only it were that simple. So the online ship viewer that lets us pick any ship with any color combo... or the session at fanfest where the dev was asking people to pick ships/colors and rendering them on the spot... guess it really is too difficult and time consuming to set up a new SKIN.
But since CCP ignored most of the feedback about how to correctly implement the SKIN system from day 1 of initial idea feedback on the terribad BPCs through this new system, I guess we shouldn't really expect much in the way of understanding and consideration for players thoughts. Heck, they didn't just not use ANY of the feedback from those many threadnaughts, they went off in a completely new and different direction nobody in those threads ever thought about, and they did it terrible too.

You're "write". Its thinking of an idea worth writing about. Players told you the exact book they wanted. You wrote something else entirely. Shouldn't be surprised about the complaints. |

Well do please explain it to us and give us some info about it. Starting with the DevBlog we were promised 3 weeks ago. Than we might not have to assume so much. Thanks |

Medium looks 10x better than High currently, at least in my opinion.

I have to agree, I will have to change my settings when I get home and try it myself.

I can't really give you a firm date, but I do know that this has been getting some renewed attention lately, now that a lot of our lighting and shading rework has settled down.

Well, I have to agree with Louanne Barros. If the only difference between the high and medium quality are the dirt layer, I am just turn down all my setting to medium. For me, the undirt ship are better than the dirt ones. Of course that is my personal view.
So, just to be exactly clear, the dirt layer are really the ONLY difference between medium and high setting, right?
Best post ever!

I dunno. It's preference, I guess, but I like the more muted colors with the rust/dirt layer applied. I've never liked spaceships that are too bright and shiny - they look unused. If I could add a battlescars layer to mine, I would.
