Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Hello. So I'm thinking of joining since it sounds really great and, after all, its NeoGaf so it must be so awesome.
But I'm thinking of going the manufacturing, research and industry path, is it what the Corporation is inclined to persue, or is it more of a fighters kind of Corp?
Can't wait for Trinity!!

Two questions guys:
1) I'll be signing back up to the trial on Thursday night/Friday (work done for the year woop!) but if I remember rightly the 4 (or is it 5 now?) races you can choose from start in different places. Does it matter which I choose in terms of getting to the station our corp offices are at?
I normally play Gallente if that makes any difference. I mean will I have to travel through low sec space to get to the corp office?
2) Do you have to run the game with the new Trinity engine or can you run on the older graphics package? I only ask because my poor pc has been very poorly lately and I don't want to push her too hard.
AMD 64 3500+
1gb RAM
256mb 7600GT
1280x 4:3 res.
See you all in space soon!

I created a Gallente as well, the NeoGAF corp office was only 5 jumps from my start location so I'm assuming this could mean you could start as a Gallente and be very close.
I'm pretty confident your system could probably run Trinity... I only have a 6600GT and I'm running the current client without a hitch at 1680x1050. Hell, my 6600GT runs Team Fortress 2 at 1680x1050. I can't imagine Trinity being a huge system hog considering it was designed to be able to handle large battles with minimal slowdown.

Anyway, should i uninstall the old client before installing the new? Im wondering if its going to conflict

Well, you either have the choice of old graphics, or new graphics. On the new graphics you don't have much to change. The level of shadows, and HDR the only things.
Here's a picture everything turned on at 1920x. Mine runs at 30 fps with no action, who knows how bad it would be with tons of ships.

Alright, i've played a bit, first, the premium client allows you to revert back to older graphics, simply uncheck "premium graphic content" and voila, back to oldie but goodie.
Im on a laptop, intel core duo 1.83, 2GB 667 DDR2, 7800 256MB, im not entirely sure i'll play with the premium graphics, @ 1600x1000, self shadowing and HDR + bloom i get mouse lag, which is probably related to frame rendered ahead, which i could fix if nvidia hadnt been as dumb as removing the option in their drivers. No shadow, no bloom but HDR is decent, no self shadowing, no bloom no hdr (basically just the new textures and bump mapping, etc) its pretty playable but when i left the station i was alone so i dont know.
Its just that, the previous build, outside of the stations, it already looked pretty good and it runs smooth as butter, im not entirely convinced to go with premium graphics yet.
Im also looking at ebay for a 7900 or 7950 GTX upgrade for my laptop... hmm

Its on the official download page, its written "You may also download it through a Torrent" right under where you can download the file, it'll show up as an .exe but its their own torrent client that loads up.

The download timed out again... this is annoying.
EDIT: 4th time and the download times out at 658 kbp/s...

What a joke. 75% and the torrent fails and I can't continue it... is there a proper torrent link anywhere?

Direct download from Eve-online worked. Also apparently you can download the premium graphics in the background while playing the classic version?

So this person got HDR and AA working together?
The HDR does make a fairly big difference. I think the lighting is actually totally different with that turned on, not just higher dynamic range. Even without AA, I think I'd stick to it, but it'd be nice to have the AA also.
