Thats kind of what the Domi and Auguror are, except they weren't refurbished, they just lasted a very long time

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Navy battlecruisers. Retire them before even releasing them.

After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary.  -Fozzie

That's a Templar, the fighter-drone used by...Oh hey, wait a minute.

This is it, here.


E:

Marauders at this end of time need a complete re-invention, I do agree. That said, they do still pew those rats really well (the Vargur especially), but there are now a great many other ships that do that just as well, and in some cases better, exacerbated by the Mara's role-bonus being essentially obsolete Because of Noctis(TM).

So....Heavy Stealth Bomber, optimised for murdering capital ships? (Although I think the former Tier III BC-chassis would be better for that.)

Star Wars: the Old Republic may not be EVE. But I'll take the sound of dual blaster-pistols over "NURVV CLAOKING NAOW!!!11oneone!!" any day of the week.

Isn't that essentially what the old hookbill description used to say?

I can't find a copy of it now, but i'm sure it was the predecessor of the merlin.

Retire the Rookie ship Velator and replace it with the Velator A-1, named after the tastiest of BBQ sauce it's only upgrade would be on destruction delicious steak would explode from the hull.

Confirming that this man does not know what he is talking about.

The Ford Sierra is a completely different car to a Fiesta.

To be serious for once, I agree with this man.

Even thou I think those are awesome additions to global content on themselves, the impact I'm expecting in global is rather negative, but I sincerely hope I'm wrong and I'll be a man of my word to come back and say I was wrong.

You can't test, RS Turbo was clearly a soap box with a reactor Lol

I had the big sister, the Escort RS Corsworth modified Turbo and 465HP, was just magic but welp, was the good old times when we were free, it's over now.

It's also this

With the industrial rebalance coming up, I think it's time to retire some of the Iterons. There really doesn't need to be 5 of them.

I support James 315 and the New Order of Highsec

Im sure there are lots more old ships avail...I cant see the Eve universe only having 3 ships before the ones we have now Big smile

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Yup not so much combat not so much noctis = not so much in missions..


failure at anything else.


Owning a T3 and a Noctis... kinda makes Marauders seem pointless, tbh.... switching ships really isn't that hard.

Re-vamping Marauders as even more face-raping versions of BShips couldn't hurt, at all. I mean... logical step up. When they first came out, I assumed they would just be the BShip-size version of Assault Ships...

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...
