I agree on your assumption on Prime-skins, it sounds like the most logical option. 

I do not think that Legacy skins will remain the same. It is true that it removes the 'legacy' aspect of the series, but it would look incredibly odd if those skins appear as 2D when all other graphics have been remastered. Honestly, they could just slightly update them, a bit more depth and details, but nothing game-breaking

When it comes to Legacy skins, they should at most increase the resolution slightly, but nothing else should be changed (no paint pattern shrinkage, no increased polygons)

It's not going away, it's just being replaced by a skin with a more modern look (which by the way looks very similar to the current default skin)

I think it should be remastered to an extent to match the overall new graphics. What do you think of this fan-made remake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G2A2q6dM1Q?

Legacy skin will not be remastered because there is no point in remastering them, because then it will no longer be “legacy”.

Everything else could remain the same, like the resolution, but the Legacy skins will have to be altered so that they fit the more complicated geometry / higher polygon count of the HD models

But the current ones won't wrap on to the new models properly, they will have to be altered, if not remastered

they don't look as good as your Rtx enabled models but hey, at least my potato  PC won't explode in flames like it would have had your models with super ultra graphics been actually released. 

Yes, it's a big contradiction, some players want a Hot graphics, and others PCs couldn't run it. I think the new comprehensive graphics is intelligence solution by Tanki. They changed the graphics without increasing the pixels number. But I blame them it's too late, from 2013 graphics haven't any change, uglied me too much.

Btw, I myself my laptop is capable to run a stronger Graphics, I wish if the graphics were more detailed and realistic than the current. But in the same time, I think about who have weak PCs. I think this is the biggest challenge for Devs.   Btw, I think it's the best time for developers to change graphics comprehensively, as if you noticed my past topic, the differences between Flash and HTML5 in graphics.

edit: I mean a big playerbase on the game playing in such a weak devices, so it's something true to having a moderate graphics. Btw, most times my Laptop couldn't run full graphics settings.

What then is the purpose of having Legacy skins? Legacy skins are only in the game because of nostalgia, so remastering them makes no sense, I bet the developers will bring back current skins as a “Legacy” in the future. Only because of the money.

All they can do with Legacy skins is to increase the texture resolution and perhaps change the paint scaling to match the new skins.

Decided to change one emoji to express my emotions correctly I hope you guys to appreciate my emotions

Its so good to see all M3 skins transformed in HD (high definition) skins.

What will happen to XT, Prime and Ultra skins? Will they remain the way they are?

I think the purpose is to include parts of older versions of the game in the current version, for various reasons including living history, nostalgia, and making money

My point is just a technical one - every time there is a geometry upgrade / increase in polygon count for the models, then skins that were designed for the older generation of models have to be altered to fit

When all of the current models have been replaced and re-skinned, then the old skins could be offered as legacy skins, but they will have to be altered too

Smoky is very likely to get a HD skin next. 

Personally I would like to see Railgun HD next 

[Devoid 2,601]

So now that the graphics have been updated again, will there be a skin created that gives the texture of the old Hornet skin, kind of like the Devs did with the Legacy skins?

The new HD skin is cool and all, but for nostalgia purposes, I hope I can run around with the Hornet skin that's been in the game for the entire seven years I've played it...

How fast you missed it, wah wah at least wait one year before you miss, until now it still the current texture. 

Btw, I myself wont ever miss this graphics, it disgusted me too much, I just like the very old graphics
