Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So when can we expect a post of these proposed changes? You know for those who couldn't stream the session. Some posts coming of whats good bad.. but nothing as far as an overview of what was mentioned...

From what I can remember:

New Rapid Heavy Missile Launcher

Some new SOE Faction ships that can covert cloak and have large Drone bays - mix of Amarr & Gallente and with exploration bonuses to hacking and so forth

New Character Login Screen

New Cert System

Self-deploying structures: One for salavaging and lotting wrecks, one for jamming non-Covert Cyno, one for stealing stuff from POS and one for allowing mobile ship fitting and storaging stuff. All are attackable and won't initiate a Concord response

Showed the new Marauder graphics for Bastion mode on a Kronos (all Marauders have unique appearance changes in BM)

Interceptors and Interdictors will ignore bubble

Ship warp speed will now affect the rate at which ships accelerate and decelerate into/out of warp

Something about players being able to run Customs Offices in High Sec (don't really give a toss about that so took no notice)

Some undefined stuff at the start about colonisation

Some more ship changes but no details about which ships or what changes - detail to follow

Expansion out on 19 Nov


That's all from memory - did I missing anything?

You mean that we can land our ships on temperate planets? That'll be cool if we can!

And someone give me a 'Like' for typing all that sh*t out FFS! If my Wife saw that she'd go mental because I never remember anything she says

Show me anywhere else where rubicon is even mentioned.. its not on the main eveonline.com page and it is not mentioned on the forums..

+1 for explain about warp

So in other words ships with a lower FTL top speed will have a steeper FTL acceleration curve?

This actually makes sense, as in real-space physics and relativity sense. The amount of energy require to increase a ship's speed in warp supposedly increases exponentially as it accelerates to a higher and higher FTL factor. So accelerating from 1.0 to 2.0 AU/s would take several magnitudes of energy more than say, accelerating from e to 1.0 AU/s (e of course refers to the speed of light in a vacuum).

This of course assumes that the output from a ships warp drive is constant. This still works, however, since larger ships such as capitals, battleships, and heavy industrials tend to have lower warp speeds than frigates, cruisers, and light haulers. It's logical to assume a larger ship would have a more powerful warp drive, and the constant output rate of the warp drive would accelerate the ship faster... but the higher mass would result in a lower maximum warp speed.

Yep, but no streaming or even youtube at work, so still 3hrs before I can get to it and I am impatient .
But the kind folk above, well except the troll.. John Wolfsson, have satisfies my immediate need and I am sure others have had some benefit

If you watched the stream you should know they should open threads on those topics within next week or something like that.
