Disgruntled capsuleers have previously had some success making their point through in-game actions, most notably during last Summer's uprising which resulted in the destruction of the Jita Memorial monument.

Shooting a static structure is so last year, but a similar event would have the advantage of showing numbers, being something active and positive and it would also be a talking point.

So how about a protest march?

Thukk You, Frill Me! - The March Against the Vagabond Revisionists

The corporation responsible for the production of the Vagabond is Thukker Mix and their HQ is listed as the Thukker Mix Factory in the null-sec system of M-MD3B.

How about we organise a Stabber/Vagabond gathering one weekend, when the entire fleet will muster at the Jita Monument, but will then take a leisurely protest tour of the major trade hubs, before heading out through low and null to "suicide gank" the Thukker Mix HQ.

This will have the following benefits:

  • It will be an entertaining event.
  • Numbers providing, it will be high profile.
  • Screenshots could highlight the lack of visual difference between the models.
  • The high-sec portion of the march will be very visible to other players.
  • The low/null section will result in lots of explosions one way or another.


Any takers for a bit of friendly civil disobedience?

Edit: Okay, how's Sunday July 15th sound? I'll start a new thread, but in the meantime, check out the plans here.

Would you tell a Dilophosaurus (albeit the Jurassic Park version) that its frill was silly?

Not while it was eating your face you wouldn't :p

This is the Minmatar nerf that nobody asked for!

Thank ******* God!!! someone cares about this disaster as much as I do....this was a complete failure on the part of the CCP ship designers, taking a legendary ships like the Vagabond and making them look like regular production ship so they can make their work on the ship skins easier to give us ******* "Hello Kittie" graphics, then sticking some lame ass solar-panel on the side with a few lights to make us feel OK with their changes...what are we idiots or noobs who don't know any better or give a ****???

Along with the tragic changes to the Vagabond, they have in my opinion destroyed the beauty of the faction ships such as the Tempest Fleet Issue by removing it's iconic rectangular fins and other parts of the model and the Typhoon Fleet Issue by removing it's mast scaffolding and fuzzy antennas, not to mention their earlier changes to all turrets which removed all the awesome tech 2 lights leaving all turrets looking like the tech 1 variants and while I'm at it they have over scaled the projectile turrets and made the architecture look clumsy and senseless.

CCP seems to have taken on a new game model and that is to make everything in EVE as simple and reproducible as possible to create an environment within the design departments of CCP that produces faster and cheaper, which is destroying the original creative works that have made EVE a uniquely beautiful and amazing experience.

I am really into the way my ships look and work as well as fly and fight and that is why I have stripped my Multi-Billion Isk Tempest Fleet Issue and Typhoon Fleet issue and placed them on the marker and will be doing the same to all my Vagabonds very soon...I once was a very proud Minmatar pilot and now I wish I was Amarrian!!!

The frill was silly, but it was a distinguishing characteristic for the beloved Vagabond. But perhaps something else could be added in lieu of full frill restoration? Calling CCP artists and also all those guys who did really cool ships designs for the ship design contest--how about a contest to see what can be added aesthetically to the Vagabond to set it apart? Something not frilly but more bad-ass?

I love the vaga, but TBH I'm more often found in Stabber Fleet Issues nowadays, as they fit into medium plexes. And are a lot cheaper.

Leave the frill out. When I get the spires back on my beloved Curse, the Mateary can get the frills back on their Vaga. I wholeheartedly approve of this change because I love these tears. Good job CCP.
