i was away for 6 months only to find that next to nothing has changed. please correct me if im wrong.

- medium rails are still useless
- most of Gallente lineup is still facing the same problems as before
- 100mn Tengu and Drake will be enjoying their status for another 7 months at least
- CCP is focusing on t1 frigs, which no1 flies or cares about, and thats all we can look forward to until next year
- the new mods are mostly useless?

anything else im missing? is FW at least more fun now?

There's a reason no one cares about them, I can't WAIT for these frig changes, frig swarm sounds like fun with those.

New drone dmg mod is pretty awesome, and the reactive armor hardener is pretty cool, dunno about the lock breaker or the injected boosters tho...

As they've said, this is why they're focusing on themRoll

Also, your anger at everything not being perfect is amusing. Check back in another 6 months, and guess what, everything will still not be perfect. That's what makes it interesting.

EvE is even more boring;
-- You cant mine in High-Sec: Hulkageddon Infinity
-- You cant mine in Null: afk CLOAKY
-- PvP is all about Blob-wars for Tech.
-- Missions are still boring - Grind,grind, grind.
-- Wormholes: Hermitville
-- Incursions: Not really a solo thing.
-- Low Sec Piracy: Meh
-- Wardec: Same frustrating bully mechanic with a different face.
-- Solo PvP: Still not an option.

Incursions were neutered
Datacore researchers were hosed
an awesome war dec change was added then nerfed in record time
the inventory system was ******-up

I fly and care about T1 frigs. Ugh

Quote:

Are they? The 'inferno prototypes' I've encountered have all done interesting things with a low SP threshold, but have been above my budget range.

For example, I encountered an adaptive plating that claimed it changed what its resistances were over time depending on what I was being hit with. Not good for PvP, but maybe for PvE if you're doing more than one faction?

Sadly, it was about as expensive as my ship hull and there were no details as to how fast the changes occurred. It just said -15% across the board for all the resists.

Do the inferno prototypes have T2 versions yet?
