Awesome...

Any chance of maybe a reply on the costing with regards to the War dec fees.

Like "Why it's so high? At fanfest similar question were asked. i don't know if there were any changes made up to now since I don't have SiSi.. just want to know if I am wasting my time setting up a corp nobody is going to hire due to the high prices.

Drone damage module - We were *very* conservative with the initial numbers and fully expected to up them from the 9/12% they currently are. So we will probably improve them in the near future (stats and/or CPU). But they will remain a low slot module.

War cost - remember that the changed version is NOT YET on Sisi, what is on Sisi right now is the original, old changes we implemented before Fanfest. Expect new version tomorrow.

CPU rigs - We'll take a look at the calibration cost, as there was a bit of debate on which way to go - we took the conservative approach, but might consider lowering it.

About the Extrinsic Damage Modifier

Low slot is fine. It is a Damage Modifier module like the others. Only Drones boat pilots will be concerned.

If it was a high slot, it would allow to keep his tank (shield or armor) intact, but with more DPS.
The same apply to mid slot except that only armor tanked ships would benefit this advantage.

However, the actual raw +12% bonus for T2 (on what?) seems low compare to other damage modifier modules.
As the Sentry Damage augmenter give 10% to damage, so a 15% seems a good iteration.

Let's see what a Sentry Ishtar/Dominix or a Ishkur will do.
Amarr drone boats will love this module Lol

Can wait to see the new modules seeded especially the mysterious Shifting Armor Hardener (increasing resist through time ?)

Still waiting for Sisi to update here.

So while I'm staring at a small yellow bar, a few questions on the Armour Adaptive Hardener:

1: Skill requirement? I'm presuming hull upgrades (and V for t2)
2: Affected by Armour Compensation skills?
3: Variations? (T1/Meta1-4/T2/Faction/DS.. Officer?)


Thanks folks.

Any plans on changing the bonus on drone platforms, or will they keep their weapon damage bonus?

Sorry for the stupid question... when we may "try" these new modules, considering that on SiSi they are not on the market? What you will do CCP? feed the market with items (i hope) or blueprints? and if yes... when?

im very courious to try new shield boosters :)

thanks

I think it would be very interesting approach if you give t-2 module 10% to damage and 10.5% rof to drones.

Also since drone regions / npc drones were nerfed maybe you should consider puting more bpc's for 'augmented' drones into eve.
So that prices for 'augmented' ogre for example go down to a reasonable price, since this is "ammo" that you can loose.

Is there any information on how the resistance shifting armor hardener works?

It's an active module with a 10 sec cycle, every cycle it checks the damage received in the cycle and adjust the resistance bonus the module gives based on that. It takes the top two damage types and increases the resistance against them while reducing the other two by the same amount (if you have received only a single damage type, it adjust only that one). It's a zero-sum system, meaning for instance that if the resistance bonus for a damage type is at 0, it can't be reduced further and the one's to be increased don't increase as much.

Are there diminishing returns on the increase or do you get the 'full' 15% from each resist that you're not being hit on? Specifically, if I were being hit exclusively with pure kinetic damage, what kinetic resist would the module confer?

Does it flat out increase both resists by the same amount, or ratio to damage being taken.

EG you're taking 70% one damage type 30% another do the modules shift to reflect that or just go 50% to one and 50% to the other?

Are you aware that your active ship no longer appears in the "Ships" window when you're in a station?

Could the war dec cost per target alliance member scale as a function of the ratio between the attacking alliance members and the target alliance members?

For instance, if a 1-man corp decs a 10,000 member alliance, the price per member of target alliance should be reduced by 1/10,000. If a 10,000 man alliance decs a 1 man corp, the alliance should pay 10,000x more than the base price for the privilege of stomping that poor guy.

In practice, I suspect most decs are made by entities which are slightly smaller than their targets.
