@fran Thank you!

@Athena
Well i saw both versions on Google and Wiki to be honest. But since most models were black, and also the exported assets also, i kept them as they were intended to be by the original mod authors, instead to recolor them completly bright silver :)

Caldari is my favorite faction in EVE, thank you for working on them! They look so awesome. I love their angular designs. I didn't know they were mostly black, they used to be a lot more bright silver in the past.

Note:
Single Shipsets are updating... Steam Securitycheck just takes to long atm...

@everyone
And now the Caldari got a update! Keep in mind that Caldari ships are mostly black. But i did my best to still make them properly visible :)

@Fran I was referring to the issue of the ship being too dark. I'm glad to see that you've managed to solve part of it. I'll be looking forward to it all the time.

@everyone Update 2.0 is live for Gallente. They should be even more visible now. I tried to still keep their intended colors. But Gallente ships are kinda dark, so i hope you're happy!

The Standalone Set of Gallente is also updating. If you wonder wher eit is, its just Steam taking longer as expected to check the set

@everyone
The color and brightness correction of the Gallente Ships are now live.

@hellm100
I am thinking about opening a ko-fi Page :)
thank you for your support!

I think Patreon would be a good option for personal motivation and resource acquisition. I once suggested this option to one of the authors of my favorite skinset, and the result was generally good, and I supported his work for a long time, along with others who appreciated his work. I believe that getting some form of monetization for your work is a worthy solution. Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to directly pay for foreign cards in my country, but there is a way around it. Consider this option

@everyone
The progress of the brighter ships and color correction, can now been seen. The Minmatar Update is now live! I hope you enjoy! Keep in mind that some minmatar ships are dark also in EVE Online. Also against the sun the ships are sure darker as for exmaple humanoids, since they are edgy and do much shadows :D.

And yes the other ships will follow! But its very very much work, so give me some time :)

@Taylor Moon
Since i don't import models sadly no.
With this i first time rework even textures to make the ships more visual appealing.
But i sadly don't have money to pay for new models or the knowledge to create ships in blender ^^

this looks amazing! do you plan to add sisters of eve ships as well?

@初春华雪
Hull model page?
Can you do me a screenshot or so? I don't know what you talking about ^^

But I have a question why, in the hull model page, the hull model is particularly black and very blurry

@Fran，thinks you，i like eve and live you

@RldickBG
mhhh not sure about removing the specular, and keep in mind that minmatar ships ar enot that yellowish, but good progress. comes close to mine

but i will do a break now i'm working since 15 hours today on mods, i need a break and a nap^^

@Fran nice
I experimented with removing the specular dds files I am not sure we need specular map on the shader, I will check original models setup later. Look how my result looks like next to a red star with specular removed and diffuse adjusted https://imgur.com/a/oAbvF5n

Statusupdate
_______________
I kinda got the ship less dark on Minmatar. Atleast if you look with the sun.
I'm working on something else i found deep in files. Please give me some time, if this works with minmatar i will also patch gallente. Please bear with me. i'm going through more than 500 DDS files and check everything and edit stuff. this will take a bit.

But since noone else at this time did fix the mistake of the origin mod , i hope you can give me some time^^

@RldickBG
I'm cooking already stay tuned :)
But also keep in mind that those pics are against the sun. so its difficult to see dark colors

@Fran
I think so, I even saw the description on these saying it was purposely made darker. Not sure about the mesh itself but if you open the DDS diffuse texture files you will see they are indeed way too dark. I opened one of them modified with brightness and it is fixable but requires some amount of work for which that I dont really have time now.

And btw you can use Photopea just open the .dds diffuse files and replace with brighter changes. The default will be the results from your uploaded screenshots here in steam, the first two images.. they are like black ship shapes rather than any colorful ship models and becomes worse when you look at them from opposite shadow side of center star/sun.

@Fran
Nice work with your compatches as usual

Regarding the black parts of ships, I could help you out with some advice.

but for those intrestes in comparison with Eve model:
https://ibb.co/fsyzBCd

@RldickBG
That is an issue of the origin mod.
That happens mostly on Minmatar and Gallente. But i understand what you mean.
It seems to be an issue of the models itself. atm i'm looking out for someone with direct knoiwledge in ship modelling :) Sorry as long i didnt got in contact with someone it seems to be impossible for me to fix for me

I still update it as it is. and still doing bugfixed as much as possible for me to give the best experience.

But sadly all ships and patches from or for EVE Online: Chronicles ships have the same issue

Tried the mod but imo the textures/diffuse are way too dark for my taste which takes away the look and feel and even making it hard to recognize these are EVE models in game. Kudos for hard work to organize this mod and communicate to previous contributors \\//

@everyone
Atm i'm trying to find a solution of removing black parts on some ships.
Atm i'm checking on Minmatar sets. This takes a while, since i need to find someone explaining me some ship model stuff.

If i can't find a helping hand, i will upload the shipset as it is by the origin also as a seperate mod. But i try to give you the best experience as possible, so i atleats want to hardly try to change that.
If i suceed, the minmatar in this pack, will also be updatet

yes
