EVE General Discussion

No because the new expansion release plan is simply a advertising ploy.. that all.

All there doing is giving patch releases fancy names in a effort to mask the fact that they are ignoring what a significant percentage base of the player base are asking for.

i dont care tbh, i let the launcher update when necessary an when i login i see no difference apart from the last one with the industry changes

EDIT: the only thing im interested in probably wont ever be done and thats a grand epic space story done by the company and not some half arsed crap done by a player

Re the expansions, I'm not hyped but looking forward to seeing what comes out over the next few. The "Little Things" tend to please me more than new stuff or feature content anyway. Despite the awesome trailer, the notion of building stargates and opening up new space got a bit of a 'meh' response from me. Whereas something relatively minor, such as adding logis to killmails would definitely make me clap my paws in joy. Although it'd probably generate some whining/sneering from others. v0v it's hard to please everybody all the time.

Player preference/inclination/location/affiliation (and possibly age) affect their enthusiasm for expansion themes. There is a generally negative tone at the moment on the forums and news sites, but I'm not sure that represents ingame attitudes perfectly. There's also a fair bit of misery rubbing off on those who haven't really formed an opinion but tend to follow the more vocal.

A mate of mine swears by this with sentries

Given the existing lore for this game, be glad that we have "half arsed crap done by a player". I don't think that "grand epic space story" is within CCP's capabilities.

I'm excited to get excited about it. Maybe they'll announce plans to finally balance Tech3's with the rest of the cruisers.

I...
dafuq is this ****?

I have an alt specifically trained for them (per the Mastery tabs) and getting very good results even with less than 5 million SP. It's a tanking monster.

For PVP it suffers from the same fate as other battleships that do the same job a little better so you probably don't see them die in a fire much. The fit that inspired me (thanks to Dracvlad) is a PVP fit and my noob alt with less than 3M SP was running level 4s with a PVP fit and still is since March. Admittedly the "damage as tank" model where delivering the spank is a higher priority makes the Megathron the go to ship for more brutal face-melting brawling while the Hyperion can sustain more damage and fight at a distance with its generous drone bay.

I have not seen any fleet doctrines with the Hyperion and don't know but I suspect there's a good reason for that close to my presumptions about the mega and what we have seen with the Domi thus far. But a well-fit Hyperion with the right skills, from my experience, is one heck of a good ship.

Annnnnnd that is NOT how you tank a Hyperion.

That's making my head hurt. Good God. Where's Gunny (R. Lee Ermey) when you need him? That fitting needs a Marine Corp style dressing down.

I still think that the ishtar should have its bandwidth lowered to 124.9mhz.

Think of the threadnaught!
