Hey guys i dont feel right that new players will not have to train again for skills lost, i sure like the idea since its a pain in the ass.. but think about all of we that have lost millions of skillpoints before rhea too

Would be nice if you guys give us free skillpoints for all those skill penalties before rhea

perhaps i wasn't clear enough .. i did refer too high sec at this point ... but point being there are plenty of ships than can either snipe or brawl better .. onyx being only useful over the others in certain secs ..
and that my ishtar can cover both sniping and brawling easily in the same fit .. my ishtar covering 150km with 2 DLA's .. but can still brawl better than the onyx


Drone activation range with 2 DLA is 133km. Unless you use rigs. And DPS brawling is not a role of the Onyx, in any area of space. Using it for that and not meeting results like a Sacrilege or Deimos, or your Garde/Ogre Ishtar, is not completely unexpected.


ah yes , i initially played with a 3rd DDA, but felt beside the cpu nerfing the fit in general, that i won't really need that extra bit of range in most circumstances.. actually you can get comparable dps to the sacrilege with the onyx.

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

would look better without it .. or at least add it to the other side .. but perhaps they could just leave the lance too the incursus if they really want it too stay that bad and then remove it from the enyo .. might provide a stronger variance in look too then ..
and the ishkur should really be based on the tristan model .

It will probably be a good expansion, especialy because of the clone upgrade removal. It should boost PVP.

Still, it can be better if you really take care of the feedback concerning the new features, mostly about the UI. For my case, the deletion of the options to permit the customization of the colors (RGB sliders) is a real problem as dark themes isn't something I can appreciate. I think that every developers know what it could cost to not give options about the UI since Windows 8.

So, keep up the good work, but please don't do anything wrong...

Removing obsolete signature... You just lost time to read that =)

I thought Rhea was going to be quiet in preparation for the next sov change one. Um, I was wrong. Great stuff, love the T3 name.

I find it rather ironic that CCP went through a polygon reduction phase, ruining many ships (like the Badger-class hulls being stripped of all antennae), and now are reportedly pushing the polygon limit (with ships like the Bowhead).

CCP, can you please re-do the poor naked Badger-class hulls!

Hrm, might this actually be the LODs you're seeing? CCP within the last year or so introduced Level Of Detail based rendering to ships, that make them take less polygons to render the further away they are from the camera. Try zooming in on the ship and see if the antennae reappear.

(I don't know if this is actually the case or not, but it might be!)

That's one of the things I liked about the old typhoon model; such industrial punk much wow: http://izlin.free.fr/eve/ships/typhoon.jpg

I felt the same way about the Retribution losing its death pike during the V3 reskin. Ugh

Rhea will be a good without one exception. The removing of the clone Insurance.

From my view CCP is removing with that one of the unique features of the game. Till Rhea it was possible to loose everything without 900k SP. After Rhea Eve will get a tiny step more into the direction of Theme Park Online.

If people are less risk-averse regarding the possibility of losing their skill points, it means there'll be more PvP.

Amazing stuff.

Incursus model looks boss but as people have said it needs its lance to be restored.

I am assuming since you have done WASD you're thinking about actual collisions and since forever I've wanted to ram things with the incursus, for which it needs a lance! :)

Asteroid fields look purty.

Seagull's promotion, to me, feels like the best thing that has happened to this game in as long as I can remember.

Long may this rate of content release continue.

Everything looks great, except for: "No clone grades and no skill point loss on pod death"

Thanks CCP for fully removing the balls from EVE Online. Now it'll be like every other "infinite respawn" game without the signature consequence for negligence in upgrading your clones after death.

And yet again, the challenge factor drops ever lower.....

Wow this is a packed expansion! The fast release cycle really worked out for CCP. This amount of great content would've made a decent big expansion back then. Very much looking forward to Rhea.

I suppose, in your world, losing your ship is at once less consequential and less costly than upgrading your clone?
