Asset visual improvements

Nov 30, 2014 Death Fluffy link
We've seen a lot of improvement over recent years where GS has improved the the visual appeal of their asteroid assets.

Now, however, how about showing some artistic love for other assets like stations and ships?

Stations got an update a while ago (maybe a long while ago...) and dynamic lighting is the current GFX project, which affects many aspects of gameplay.

Yes, I am aware of the new sparklies that GS is working on for DX11. That does not change the fact that the stations and ships are pretty plane and boring visually.

I suspect that the dynamic lighting that GS is currently working on isn't entirely about building a modern / competitive graphics engine, but also is one of their hush hush projects they cannot disclose due to contract obligations. Which is fine.

Stations are used far more than asteroids. It would be nice if at some point, they could show thim a bit more love.

Inc released some concept art of what they're working on back in June that looked pretty cool.

This is one of those "They're already working on it; stop whining" situations...
