I can say that compared to past years ships, the Leo is a bit of a let down.

CCP is does not have to give us anything outside of what they promise in exchange for monthly subscription fees. And even then, they could skirt on that if they wanted.

The Leopard is a hardy little ship, great for hi and low sec transport of low m3 precious goods. And just a lot of fun (zipping 40AU in 2 seconds).

It's not as utilitarian as the Gnosis or Genolution implants by any means, but it's not meant to be. It's meant to be a little extra in the name of the holidays. The cooler thing I still say is how they brought the YULE LAD tradition to life.

I appreciate the Festivus gifts a lot. I enjoyed opening the daily present and thought that the "lads" were done very well. Thank you CCP for these fine gifts.

I wonder how long it will take someone to fill one with PLEX and show up TMC

Thank me later :D

Rookie question: is this only for people who use autopilot? No idea what the latter half of your comment means.
When you click "Jump" or "Warp to zero" sometimes it leaves you about 1500-2000 meters off the gate due to the Gate's "Sphere". Some people bookmark a warp to zero personal spot smack bang on the centre of the gate on hubs gates so they can land on the spot at all times.

No sir, that was understood perfectly. I'll just mess around with "Jump," "Dock," and "Warp To Zero" to see where I land in empty vs. extremely busy systems.

Still learning how useful making bookmarks can be over using the game's defaults P

If I ever saw CCP Falcon's character in real life I think I'd politely ask him to kick my ass just so I could brag about it.

Yeah, its good to have instant docks, undocks, tacticals and 0 distance bookmarks in most trade hubs, pipes between trade hubs, and low sec/null sec/wormhole systems that you frequent.

There's no difference in warp mechanics between these systems, its just more likely that you will be blown up by the other players in system if you land outside of dock/jump range. Landing outside of dock/jump range is always a possibility when clicking warp to distance (0m) on a gate or station, but the bookmark prevents that.

This is why, even with it's insane speed, I'm hesitant to undock in it. I can just imagine all the people out there wanting to be first in swatting this thing. Concord be damned. Should almost make it a contest to see who can kill the first one in high or low sec. Unfortunately, I spent all my isk paying someone to buy my Phoenix gift off me so I could get a Leopard too.

Not an easy gank, certainly. Gets into warp /almost/ instantly.


D400 already sploding them left and right. Turns out when you auto pilot in them, they are just about the same as any shuttle.



People who autopilot anything of any value deserve to explode.

It is a cool ship, wish it has a larger cargo. Thanks for the gifts CCP! I will use all of them in one way or another.

Phoenix is like a coal mine, its useless but valuable nonetheless.

CCP, the work you poured into bringing the YULE LAD mythos to life is appreciated. You clearly spent a lot of time on that aspect of this year's holiday and it shows. Much obliged.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with a Corinth. :p

My main will probably stick with his hyper rigged Claws and Stilettos, guns, more cargo, guns, the ability to fit a cloak (and annoy null bears no end just by being in system) and did I mention guns ...

On the other hand my low skill PI alts already love this ship. Perfect for those quick run into losec to upload the P1s to the POCO and make more room planetside when you do not have time or its too dangerous to bring in a hauler.

Well, if you aren't on autopilot I'd say you are in pretty good shape. I don't know if you've ever tried to lock a shuttle entering warp, but it's hard. I've had my alt super sensor boosting a sensor boosted ship with tracking speed rigs and tracking implants, and I've still never done it. I'm sure there are a zillion better PvPers than me that could do better, but I don't see how. Shuttles are damn hard to catch as it is.
