Oh, I am suspecting that the gates are now ACTUALLY pointed towards the PROPER star to which the stargate is actually linked - and the background starfield is the same you can see when you open your map (keep it in 3D, don't flatten it).

If CCP could set up voice servers for squads now.

Rail Nagas dealing more damage at range than a Rokh does even at moderate skills (and much more compared to pre-patch Rohks at similar skill levels)... insane and CHEAP instant damage at long range even in the hands of a relatively new pilot... yeah, I could see this becoming a rather good occasion for a second round of Goonswarm-like opportunities if any other large new pilot group could consider wandering in.

Funny how they don't even MENTION that in the patchnotes, yet it's one of the more important pieces of "adding a feeling of realism to EVE" they could have possibly thought of...

Oh, wait, I'm an idiot. They DID mention it in the patchnotes. How the heck did I miss that the first time ?

I'd like to be a party pooper and say that the T2 probe launchers kind of suck :-/

Although it wouldn't be right unless there was some sucky T2 gear to carry on the tradition of T2 armor plates, T2 ECM mods and other unappreciated T2 mods. So I guess it's good for something.


And erh, I broke my nail on the darn railing in the Caldari CQ. I crave pink velvet and fluffy dice - and blinkenlights.



Ah ok, it's a pretty decent expansion I have to admit. ;-)

What, you don't like the Sisters-equivalent 5% scan probe strength bonus at T2 prices (and T2 fitting requirements) ?

A tiny detail:

You can now "scoop corpse to cargo" from farther away than 2500m. In this case your ship will approach the corpse and automatically scoop it when in range. Before the patch, you had to approach it manually, then scoop it.

In the name of all corpse collectors and necrophiles in Eve, thank you CCP!

Not sure if this was in before, but I can sort modules in my hangar by tech and Mech level, super for finding higher value better fitting mods,

Hmm, I thought they had lower bonus. I must have used my wrong glasses. In that case yes they are nice inexpensive alternative.

There's one thing I liked a lot that I don't know if anyone else noticed, but in the market when you look at the prerequisites of items etc. you can actually get an accurate idea of how long it's going to take before I get a specific ship or can use certain equipment.

You also have ships now being labelled red uninsured if you look at the info on them so you get a helpful reminder if you're ever planning on switching ships or just looking at your own.
