Bringing Our Graphics to Life

Work on improving the visual component of our game is ongoing.

yes, something like that is good.. at least the image should be good

Dynamic reflection added to all ship surfaces.

 

Out of contrary, ship must not reflect anything, otherwise it becomes visible to enemy. What a nonsense.

 

Wetness effect. OK, fine with these effects, but main question IS: do someone really notice them? When player most time spends in binoculars, he can't see his own ship. 

 

There is no time to admire the beauty of own ship.

 

Instead changes could be made to missions or content in general, to make game at least 1% less repetitive and boring, to look less chore.

Cry me a river, the art dep doesn't make "missions".

And yet as reality tells us, many materials do reflect light. Who'd've thought.

Expected? None. All those changes are being made with almost no need to improve your gaming gear. So the performance shouldn't drop.

Almost. Performances will drop, slightly though, thanks to the game engine optimisation team. There's always been a FPS drop in the game overtime as the game becomes fatter, and more complex. Each of us who's able to notice it will see how much it will be, no problem. Thx

Hi, just letting you know, I run a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. And since the graphics updates it's running hot it hit 80c last night so I've had to tone down the graphics,

If is wasn't for the fact I'm running system monitoring software it may well have burnt out. maybe a disclaimer is in order for players who don't run such system monitoring.

Neat, but the smoke from stacks is still the same-old. With the visual improvements around every other aspect, the weakness of the smoke stands out more and more.
