A total of 40 ships are to be rebalanced? Guess you all forgot about that "incremental changes" policy.


Tested and approved already on the test servers! It was really fun! I got a kill on CCP Fozzie =D

All the other concept Amarr destroyers look 300% better then the fat coercer eventually picked Big smile

We'll get to them all! :)


When?


Aren't you the troll with the thread telling CCP to slow down and take their time?

They'll get it done when they get it done, and I'm sure they'll coordinate with you personally on an appropriate schedule.

Looking forwards to the new destroyers and the ship balancing. By the way I like the comedy aspects of these videos :)

The good old days of Unreal Tournament, fragging and sniping on Facing Worlds, listening to Foregone Destruction.......

Wow, CCP, you royally screwed the pooch when you rejected the original concepts of the Amarr destroyer. So many designs that are infinitely better than the ribbed vibrator you ended up making.

better than the serated vibrator that is the Minmatar one. Oops

Those two look rather similar. But I'm sure Fozzie could come up with a nice complex backstory tale of kidnapped spaceship engineering scientists, later chained to their desks and forced to work for the opposing empire. P

They are on the whole doing a good job with all this. And the level of dev response in their threads has been wonderful for such a perilous project. And no matter how they prioritized the sequence of changes there was bound to be some anomalies.

And to the guy complaining about the navy caracal, wtf. Sure, everyone can't have a fleet stabber. It only means it will get better while the fleet stabber not so much. Have some frickin patience.Straight

Nice Vid!

Um, just as a side note..

Can we perhaps get some.. well, names for these new ships?

If you want, I can start referring to the Mining Frigate as the "Chribba", from now on. I don't mind do that what so ever. In fact, maybe that is what will be the title of my next blog:

You must be from Iceland.

Additional width to the ship assortment is always a good thing. More ships, more modules = more fun! Keep up the good work.

Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

CCP Devs sometimes live in a cell.

It's ten foot by twelve and they have to read the same boring, old magazine everyday.

"Back off pigs! I'm packing heat!" is a good line, though, especially from the apparent model for the Ni-Kunni male.

When will all of these new and/or rebalanced ships be up on Sisi, so that the players can help you check for any issues which should be fixed prior to release to Tranquility?

40 ships to test - and 40 days left until Retribution goes live. That is a lot of QA work.

I for one am happy that none of the new ships seem to have a camouflage paint job. Now could we please repaint the Navy Comet? Straight

That said, I'm really looking forward to these changes, it's going to be an interesting winter.

One thing that bothers me is that the Caldari and Gallente destroyers look like they are flying backwards.

The caldari one looks like a ship going in reverse.

The Gallente rear looks better than the front.

The Minmatar......... ugly.

The Amarr Concept art looks much much better than the current model, which is a fatter coercer.
