Call me old, but I didn't see and have never seen it used.

I have though, seen that film many times. Lol

Edit: Googled it, all clear now. What a muppet. Roll

Or he's calling me a whore,
because hure is german for whore.

But hey, stick to your weird belief. You might not have read all the mails
he sent me and ramona, insulting us to a level beyond sanity.

Sqdly the ISD cleared them from the thread,
but I cqn dig them out and forward them to whoever wants to read
how sick he is.

That ringing in your ears you're experiencing right now is the last gasping breathe of a dying inner ear as it got thoroughly PULVERISED by the point roaring over your head at supersonic speeds. - Tippia

Yea that's what I assumed after the Google. Poor taste tbh.

Well, ain't been back to the old country for a while. Didn't know that was how it was spelled.

Now, if he's sending emails with insults, petition it, and best of luck.

They're unrelated matters though.
Tbh I am beginning to feel like they are just ignoring them on purpose. :/


ANYHOW ... back on topic!

Let me derail threads when *I* want to! *pouts*

So, after some pondering on the subject, I believe that the most vital piece of information regarding T3 destroyers is still missing.

The cooldown of their "mode change" mechanic.

I suspect that the respective racial skill to fly these things will reduce this cooldown(if any), but some more concrete numbers would be really helpful.

"Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

I have one question for you. In what way is, for example, a Caracal more "versatile" than a Cerberus? And cost and skills are irrelevant, as you yourself said:

A Cerberus literally outperforms a Caracal in all aspects (DPS, speed, tank, drone capacity, fitting, storage, etc). I haven't checked the stats for the other T2's. But I'm inclined to believe that they pretty much outperform their T1 counterparts in most if not all characteristics.

How do you come to the conclusion that T1 is in fact more versatile than T2 (besides CCP saying they are)?

The Eagle outperforms the Moa, the Zealot outperforms the Omen, the Deimos and Ishtar outperform the Thorax and Vexor, the Muninn and Vagabond outperform the rupture and Stabber.

The only exception is the Sacrilege and that's because it uses a different weapon system to its T1 variant so isn't directly comparable. HACs are all straight upgrades on their T1 variants with extra damage projection bonuses and their role bonus.

T2 isn't a sideways move from T1 it's diagonal, they ships get flat out better, but also gain additional specialist capability.

I am looking forward to seeing what these T3 destroyers end up being, it will be a lot of fun to see how players use and abuse them, and the creative ways we will break them that CCP didn't expect.

I believe they said the Tug name was just a codename for now. I expect it will get a more lore-centric name closer to release.

Personally, I'm aiming for Loot Piñata, unless they actually give it a tank.

Skill for T1: lots of different types of ships.
Skill for T2: specifc ship type (with racial variants)
Skill for T3: variety of options, within a single ship

Woo! CSM XI!

I am reading this thread and wishing I had popcorn to go with my Dr Pepper 10.

As per topic, if I had a memory lapse and already posted (and clearly just being lazy), I do like this idea of a new tech III ship without skill loss that can change on the fly.

Go go gadget sniper rifle!
