EVE General Discussion

Felt the burnout in 2011. I was a bit put off by the whole walking in station concept... (lol, so did that ever really happen) Can you guys play cowboys and indians in-station, or is that still a dream?

I gave it some time away, got into a few other games. I am back to drive the old hot-rod-Lincoln around the block and see if I miss the old gal.

What has the game been up to?

WiS is still constraint to one room, feels like they kinda dropped it, or put on the backburner.

Stuff since then: tiericide, all ships of same class need same skills to fly (no more BC III for one of the BC, or Industrial V for the iteron V), more logical skillprogression in ships (Frig - destroyer-cruiser-BC-BS )
Lots of shiprebalancing, some new ships added (Battlecruisers with BS sized guns!)

Lots of other stuff too, too much to mention really.

Apocalypse got remodeled, same as sentinel

Medium rails/beams/Artie's got buffed

TEST died rip rip o7 o7

They are used alot for highsec ganking & gatecamping due to their high damage. Unlike other BC however, they field poor tanks, so they're more an offensive ship, nuke m down before they kill you.



People still play it alot, fights go back & forth, but you rarely hear much of it, unless there's internal wars/fighting



Well, game also got some graphic updates, so that'll suit you fine! Most recent was the graphic update of the stations.

Also, exploration has changed alot (scanning things with probes) has seen alot of focus over the years, result is that it's now a viable profession, alongside missions, mining, production etc. Bonus, it's that it's a profession that works nice in lowsec, so it can be seen as a way to give lowsec that little bit extra.

A few I can think off (that I think happened after 2011?)
-Exploration is very different, seems kind of dumbed down really.
-There's a safety thing that will prevent you from doing anything that will lower your security status, if you don't turn it off.
-If you do a criminal action, you get a timed suspect flag or criminal flag; anyone can kill you without any penalties while your flag is on.
-FW got overhauled and is pretty active and profitable now.
-Passive income from R&D agents got nerfed.
-Mission runners now have a hooverizer thing that sucks in wrecks.
-Interceptors are immune to bubbles.
-Ships now have different warp speeds (intys fast, haulers slow, etc.)
-New very fast Leopard shuttle lets you do long trips very quick.
-New Sisters of EVE ships, focused on exploration.
-New Ghost Sites for exploration.
-Players can capture and own PI customs offices.

Thanks for all the replies. I had a chance to play a little last night after the downloading the client, just before DT.
I have to say the graphics look better overall. the station graphics are pretty slick, as are the jump graphics.

Are 0.0 blob fights still a sort of frozen log-jam where your ship doesn't respond for several minutes and then you flash forward to being in station?

First the Earth cooled and then the dinosaurs came but they got too big and fat so they turned to oil. And then the Arabs came and drove Mercedes-Benzes...

They are also good for structure grinding.

There are less completely useless ships than there were back then. Fozzie and rise did a good job making all ships p fun to use.

Jita is still Jita, but with more honest merchants.
