EVE General Discussion

I would never, at any point after my first month playing in EVE, have thought I'd willingly hop into a Tormentor again.

I was wrong. It's actually now quite a fun ship to fly (on the test server).

If this is a taste of things to come as far as the ship rebalancing it will revitalize the game. I've always viewed diversity in what we see in game to be a good thing, and soon we will commonly see ships in use that we rarely see today. New tactics in many areas of combat, and perhaps even PVE activites, will develop. New FOTM ships and fleet compositions are on the horizon.

I have to say, well done so far CCP.

Not an Amarr pilot, what changes were made to the Tormentor?

Why was it crap before? Why is it better now?

That's really cool. All of the mining-specialized frigates are pretty silly, if you ask me.

Please do this CCP :3

A new guy in my corp was whining that this expansion isn't bringing any "new ships" into the game. Which is funny because he joined right before Crucible, so all he knows is every ship existed before and 4 new ships got added.

Anyway, I corrected him by explaining that its better to have every existing ship be a viable option to play in than to add new, unneccessary ships to the game for the sake of "newness."

I was reading in one of the many tiericide threads about the Navitas being turned into a dedicated drone boat and became quite excited in the pants.

I could be wrong (don't have time to check right now) but I believe they lowed cap a bit, but increased armor and shield a bit. Nothing to dramtic, the Rifter is already an iconic craft.

Punisher tweaks were minor as well, upped its cap a bit I think.

And although i haven't flown it on the test server yet, I hear the Incursus is something of a beast now.

Te goal should be to bust all frigates, so even the scanning ones have 5% resistance for all armor types, scanning skills, and 3 unbonused turrets for offense.

Rifter doesn't need Cap that bad anyway, so I don't see that as a problem unless you decide to randomly fit NOS, or Hybrids to it. Otherwise, it might get a bit less out of an MWD or AB. The added armor and shield will be cool though as it was always good but still a bit thin imo.

Speak for yourself.
