TQ MegathronSISI MegathronThe Good- darker grey metal, in line with Brutix - more detailed texture - less reflective The Bad- Kronos has new details, hull is still too light - putrid green color used on Proteus - reflections looks like plastic wrap instead of metal The UglyZero consistency; three different silver-grey/green configurations: Exeq/Thorax/Brutix - mostly dark brushed metal with dull grey-green paint highlights (this is win) Megathron/Proteus - dark brushed metal, not as reflective, saturated forest green paint job on half the ship (bleh) Hyperion/Myrmidon - very light grey metal with a more saturated teal paint (also bleh) I think the underlying metal shader being so dark on the first one is why the teal looks less saturated and cheerful as it does on Hype/Myrm. Anyhow, I don't think consistency is too much for ask for. That, and the normal mapping is still horrible. Gallente ships being more curved means its very obvious. Other ships like the Zealot, Anathema, and anything T3 don't suffer from the same problem, for some reason. |

Hmmm, seems like an overall improvement on the Mega itself. The detailed texture makes a big difference.

Heh, jerk.  Fortunately, I can highlight the Eve forums as I read them (and frequently do). -Liang |

If plastic is not going to be metal again - the current TQ mega have far more better look. |

Everyone prefers more detail against less detail. The point is, why does it have to come with a saturated green color and crappy material shader? |

This reminds me - why does the Megathron only have one turret on the front area (which is clearly designed to hold four) and then scatter the remaining 6 guns in far less sensible places?
I've always wondered why they did it that way, since it makes so little sense to me. |

It has to do with firing arcs and clipping, I guess. You can see from the normal pic there is already a round hub for the side turret, but since Trinity they added a blocky extrusion just above that looks rather stupid.
It's not as big of an issue with smaller ships because the turret size is much larger relative to the hull. |

love it, it look more like metal now if you ask me.
But yes the color could use a tweak to keep it in line with the other ships of the same race.
can you post a kronos? |

Remember that Gallente use Crystalline Carbide armor. It shouldn't look like metal. |

I think it looks better. I'll have to login to SISI and check it out.
Can you please post a few screen-grabs of the Navy Issue Megathron & Kronos? |

They didn't change the low-resolution texture on the "head" of the myrmidon.  |

Edited by: Davik Rendar on 09/05/2009 11:08:27The thought of having to go back and recolour/update all the ships in my shipchart makes me a sad panda upgraded textures is always a good thing though I'm kinda undecided on the colour changes though, I think the green is a bit dark, although I think the current TQ textures are a bit flat, so...... EDIT: Navy Mega, Kronos and Vindicator colours remain unchanged, they just get upgraded normal maps so now look more detailed. Kronos ComparisonAnd the low-res Hyper textures haven't been changed yet either |

I like it cos it looks a lot meaner now.
Now all CCP needs to do is fix blasters and and the ship itself.

Oh please oh please oh please let them re-do the Raven next. The textures on that have always seemed a bit sub par. |

This, it needs less soft edges and more sharp ones. |

Do you remember, when all Gallente ships were baby blue? Good times... |
