Some sweet EVE Fanfest stuff

Because I think everyone needs to see this.

Launcher models are long overdue, and it looks like they got the same TLC the turrets got in Incarna. Blech, it hurts to even type that word.

Nice to see the Echelon in a cinematic, for a ship that absolutely no one uses. Would be nice to see it get another hull, maybe with applications outside of hacking Sansha sites and whatnot. Game still has too many ships that go unused.

Rest of this Dust trailer looks nice, Amarr giving a sort of Sardaukar vibe.

Fanfest is so bogus, though.

Bogus, eh? Heh, well, diff'rent strokes an' all that.

Have another one!

Oooh, I can't wait for visible damage...

Art Department has been on point for some time now, their dev vlogs are typically more informative than one would expect.

New ships models are also overdue...
Atron is an improvement, just a stronger feel to the boomerang/wing.
Finally, the Imicus... the single worst ship design gets a richly-deserved facelift.
I do not want this Tristan redesign, it is unnecessary. Scrap it.
Looks like Stealth Bombers are getting their own hulls?! WTF is this, quality in my MMO?!


Missile explosions look great, much more differentiation by damage type. Localized damage to the model... I have mixed feelings on this, but it does look good. Salvage drones are a nice gift for mission runners.

Bloodline blending?! WHAT HERESY IS THIS?!
