Thank you CCP.

I don't even know what they are for. What are they for? This is going to change play styles.

What will we do with them? I'm having too much if a nerdgasm to find out. All those SOE LPs saved for this very day!

Quick! Some easy info! Somebody! Anybody!


Looking forward to this next expansion.

(while I clean up)


These ships were basically made for one of my favorite playstyles and my main char's crosstraining... covops, some pvp some pve, drones and armor tanking.... so to have them look that awesome and be delivered on my actual birthday. I really considered cutting out my own tongue and lopping off my fingers just so I wouldn't give the surprise away...

But somewhere deep within myself I found the strength to keep them a secret. I'll be your first customer in game.




Manifest, how many bacon-sprinkled cupcakes did you have to send to Hilmar, etc, to get this stuff released on your birthday? :P


Zero apparently. Shipping on all cupcakes from the US to Iceland has some pretty extreme customs as you can imagine. I think it's just coincidence, although I'd prefer to call it fate.

Well now we know where the majority of eve players are going to be for the next 2 months. Doing SoE missions for LP.

Gankers can have a new game plan gank the PVE SoE mission runners. It should be a target rich environment.

Very simple, they will lower the risk of hi sec carebears exploring null sec. The intent is obvious with the POCO change, mix the populations. Bring null to hi and vice versa.

Brilliant CCP.

I am still having fun with my stock Magnate and Punisher, and that has been out for a few years or so.

The only question on my mind is how the SOE battleship will compare to the Dominix in an RR sentry fleet :)

Exactly. They might as well just get rid of drones altogether at this point. Their an AFK button for the easier missions and completely worthless in the others. For PVP mobile drones are a joke except for the odd heavy used against a BC, or sentries in huge fleets. Ewar types are pathetically weak, both in effect and durability.


If all you've ever done in EVE is hisec missions, please refrain from posting on the official forums.

You've never been in a player vs player engagement in your EVE life, and you clearly don't have even the general level of second hand knowledge about PVP normal people command.

And on topic, SOE ships are pure sex and I can't wait to fly one. Bears with SOE LP, congrats, these will go for insane prices!

Do anyone know if there's any high res version of the pics of the SoE ships on the expansion site?
I'd really love to have the cruiser as my desktop background. Big smile

Perfect opertunity to bring a covop logi, doesn't have to be as good as AT ship but it can fill a much needed niche



A Legion can do this, range aint good, but rep amount and tank are.

Given this faction's background a covops logi ship would be so good. Would fit into the Gurillia theme as well as the Sisters of EVE non-violence preference. And make BLOPS so interesting. This could even boost the use of recons!

So if you have some time give the SOE Lazareth a shot!

Much better as the last "Expansion". Was tired of the "awesome" minigame after I did it the 2nd time...

The current designs appear to have some slight "influence" from your past works. When I saw that cruiser, my second thought was "Nova Fox".

My first thought was... well I don't remember I was having a nerdgasm of epic proportions.

Where's my mission Drake?

If you are referring to the EVE Vega prizes, no, not really. Those ships will be unique, perhaps with an EVE Vegas logo or something. They'll still be worth a lot of coin to a collector.

I must be doing my missions wrong then. I get full aggression, launch smalls for frigate npc and watch if I lose aggression. Recall drones and relaunch as needed.

But back to the ships, nice designs at least.
