Anaconda 2.2 vs. 2.3 Cockpit Changes

[Cosmo]

Which one looks better? 2.3 looks cleaner, has more paint decorations, but no computer screens and less metallic textures. The loose wiring is the same in both. The floor is very smooth in 2.3. It needs a more textured surface to look less bland imo.

The big ships have a lot of empty cockpit space. Would be nice to have cockpit decoration and customization. Such as a sofa, table, chairs and paintings. Put that as cosmetic items in the store.

Here's the cockpit of every ship in 2.3 Beta 1.

Update:

I'm not fond of the geometry downgrade:

The NPC is less detailed in 2.3 beta 5:

See this post on the subreddit.

The 2.3 version really does look a lot "cleaner" than the 2.2 version.
Almost to the point where it looks like they've deliberately reduced the polygon count and simplified the textures.

Can't say I really pay a lot of attention to that sort of stuff in-game although I'm sure there'll be people throwing their toys out of their prams over the changes.

All that and they couldn't clean up the wiring? Part of her 'charm' I guess.

Thanks for posting, OP

It definitely looks like they reduced textures to save resources. It looks pretty bare but i have only seen pics. I will reserve judgement till it goes live.

I just hope they dont irredeemably break the game in some way with this next update.

Just going by these pics, I think I prefer the 2.2 look. Some darker sections, more commanding chair, panels are active.

Should've made the radar panel pure white. If you're gonna go stupid, go stupid all the way.

 

[Sasquatch_Punter]

Looks like some issues with the render/lighting. If they had to rework the cockpit for MC I guess it's possible they redid the texture layers too.

Looks unfinished, though.

First thing I've noticed in 2.3 - Anaconda's cockpit turned from 'meh' to 'absolute horror of a design'. Lightly coloured radar background - it's just lol. Can't be deliberate, it's just too stupid.
Rest of the surfaces just look so bleak and plain that you could easily think that they've forgot to actually texture them. Horrific.

 

[Gunnet]

Wow, that looks horrible. It's like they replaced all the nice industrial plastic with cheap ABS.

 

[fademist]

pff old conda is way better....

 

[Ozram]

Yep. Severe downgrade! Look at the base of the chair!

 

[Uvelius Sång]

Yes, negative. Cheap brittle plastic molds. Poor yuppi stuff. Definitely not an all-round industrial space cow.

It looks like 2000-style flat Halo textures. Less contrast and such ... reminds of the downgrading of planets`surfaces.
Not impressive.

BTW, you are sure your graphics settings were the same?

That unfortunately is a given

 

[Jack Schitt]

At least they've kept the first aid kit, ready for crew emergencies and no doubt packed with only the best quality holo-bandages.

 

[Cmdr. Numa]

2.3 version looks horribad

 

[Conch]

thats a downgrade..

 

[Furinkazan]

Yeah....that looks terrible.

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

2.3 version looks like a toy. Lol

I'm not a fan, from the pictures. But I'll reserve true judgement when it goes live.

 

[[VR] Mad Mike]

2.2 definitely has the edge imo.

 

[Raith]

I think it partly has to do with the lighting, 2.2 is darker.

But at least this way I don't need to look at mouldy carpet and half melted Atmosphere pumps even when fully repaired.
