Most changes in this patch are meh.

UI changes are a waste of time. and round. i hate circles.

But the micro jump drive is going to kill small gang pvp dead.

the game needs to buff using different ship types and tactics this just removes a whole line of changes.

oh and the new vaga model is worse looking than my arse.

once again CCP does what it think s needs to be done not what actualy needs to be done.

one day the devs will listen and eve will be great again.

Besides eluding to the fact that GMP now affects all missiles, and a single tweak to Rage damage - (but nerfed explosion radius). Am I not seeing all of the correct info in the Features forum missile thread?

If you have GMP to level 4 that's a 20% buff to Torp explosion radius. And on top of that the explosion radius implants and rigs also affect it now. That's a very significant buff and the T2 ammo changes are just icing on the cake (and a great way to kill supercaps).

That poor little ship has no purpose in life at all. I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I really hope that this does not mean the new tier skills will be rolling out prior to next year! As a dev in another post had said that the new tier skills was something being worked on for next year.

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2145578#post2145578

So are the new tier skills for destroyers and battlecruisers being introduced on the 4th of December or not?

‘No, this isn't it at all. Make it more... psssshhhh’.

Loving this blog.
I have one issue with this though.

You say you plan on making the Tristan ". The first ever T1 frigate to be able to field a full flight of 5 light drones, and enjoying bonuses to Tracking Speed of both drones and Hybrid Turrets"

This tracking speed boosts will be great! My only fear is its going to outshine more dedicated ships like the ishkur. As long as this bonus gets passed on.....

I assume eventually you will go through them all anyway right?

Overall this is going to be one of the best 'Patches' :P since I started back in apocrypha! Very much looking forwards to december this year! Smile

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

These changes sound appealing (other than Hurricane losing power).

But my question is what will happen to the Noctis? Will it get a drone bay that can fit only salvage drones (because if it gets a universal drone bay, it becomes a rat boat)?

Will salvage drones also bring cargo inside the wrecks directly to the owning ship? Otherwise they're not terribly efficient since I'd have to fly over to the can and recover it. And if I have to close 2,500 meters to pick up the cargo, then I might as well salvage it at 5,000 meters with a Salvager I before I get there.

Recommendations:

-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)

-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)

-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!

OK, I just saw the list of officer drone modules and there is a huge problem with them.

Huge. Gigantic. Overwhelming.

Take for example "Unit D-34343's Modified drone damage amplifier".

The issue is Obvious. The number is decimal. Not binary. Not Hex. Decimal.

AAARRRGGGGG!!!!!

Also, any deadspace drone mods, for mission and high sec to low sec exploration?

With no need to align, and nothing able to point with a Scram at 100km from gate (or even 85km from a gate), it's just jump gate, MJD, align, warp away. You just made an invulnerable blockade runner. Fix POSes. Every player should want one (even if all players can't have one).
