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.

I am indeed the voice of reason suggesting they slow down multiple changes simultaneously.
And this is yet another example of a half-baked implementation, where you will end up with some generic T1 ships being superior to their faction, Navy, and possibly T2 counterparts.

The entire revamp, if necessary at all, should have been ALL frigate hulls, then once that was working properly, ALL the cruiser hulls, then ALL the BS hulls.

Not some shotgun approach.

Test and approved. Is that your final answer?

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

I got it: the Amarr destroyer looks like the Eagle Transporter from the old TV series Space 1999! (I liked that show.)

I'm going to name all of my new Minnie dessies 'CCP Luxus Lulli', just to have them be destroyed over and over again Lol. Love the idea but the model is hideous.

Nice video though.

Great vid! keep them coming. Did anyone else notice that CCP Guard was smiling too much as he thrown in to the slammer? I am looking forward to the new destroyers and changes to the frigates and cruisers.
question 1: Is there going to be some teircide to BS'es and BC's?
question 2: is there going to be t2 versions of these new destroyers?

Not sure what you are considering a shotgun approach. There is a clear methodology in place, though you may disagree with it.

Also why would someone need to be Icelandic (or have an Icelandic sense of humor) to find the video funny?

PLEEEEASE, take the rotating radar dish off the Gallente destroyer. Its completely incongruent with the rest of the Gallente class. Only caldari ships have rotating radar dishes.

That's like painting the Minmatar ships Amarrian bronzesStraightUgh

Poor CCP Guard....

Hopefully his next video after the amazing escape will see him in a happier place like a speedboat jacuzzi filled with hot chicks! Blink

I suppose death penalty laws in iceland will have to be revisited when doomsdays get buffed again. Poor CCP guard.

Also I vote, that Guard stays in jail, until hacking and smuggling have been improved in EVE.

The latest episode in the In Development series reveals even more of the Retribution Expansion coming on December 4. It also reveals some other things but you'll find that out for yourselves by going right here.

Enjoy!


Hello CCP Guard,

Please forgive me, but at first glance I thought your name tag read as "Liliputian".

I felt guilty, so I felt I should write this post to cleanse myself. Cool

CCP Fozzie enunciates his words too well. I could understand everything he said. How can he be a CCP dev?

Made me laugh almost as much as 'Bounty hunting'. I'm really liking the new destroyers though, I mean sure they're ugly in some ways, but that's what makes them so beautiful.

If I wanted to be flying a spaceship that had crazy clean nonsensical angles and was the coolest spaceship that ever was, I'd be playing some kind of anime Japanese game. Although for the record I think the new Gallente destroyer is the sexiest ship that ever was.
