Quote from: OP
CCP has stated they have hi res textures for almost all assets that are 4 times the detail level compared to what is in the game now. They have said all we need to do so prove to them that we want them and we will get it.

For those of you worried about your graphics cards melting, this would be a completely optional extra download just for those who want to make their Eve look the best it can.

So if you want an optional extra hi res download pack, voice your support here!

Lets see if we can make us a high resolution threadnaught!!!!

The Art team indicated they would like to release their original textures as a download for community members with particularly powerful computers to improve the appearance of their ships. These textures were said to be four times the size of the existing ones, and fears of CCP's higher ups over breaking subscribers' computers was given as the reason for them not having been made available. The art team encouraged the community to petition CCP for their release.

Sounds like 2048x2048 textures to me. Or even 4096x4096...

That's not so huge these days. It's big, but not to the point of melting graphic cards, except maybe old or low cost ones.

I'm definitely backing this up, the game looks nice, but that is thanks to the art direction, not to the quality of the technology.

Since every other T2 redesign has gotten unique models now, is there any chance Art is going to revisit the Golem and Widow to add or change things to the model and provide more than just a reskin? I feel that eve adding an extra engine or wibbly woo or spinny doodle would be better than absolutely nothing changed.

Maybe just skin some extra animated textures onto them, if you don't want to completely revisit the model. Something other than just the same ship with different paint!
