The changes recently have been very good, but I would also like to see a focus on integrating the game with the tablet/smart phone market like other MMO's have done with success. Eve Gate functionality should be available in an official app form, with full market/contract and in-game chat/voice support as well. CCP can really embrace the new generation of hand-held technology given the nature of Eve and the many non-graphic intensive options in the Eve Universe. Obviously the PC/Mac will continue to be the staple format for all active play mechanics, but there is plenty that can be supported in a safe format through an official app for i-phone/Android platforms.

I still haven't gotten a response that's actually worth anything from anyone but a useless, generic troll so I'll ask again:

Do you intend to **** over a significant portion of the player-base by instituting a completely un-necessary and pants-on-head stupid nerf to a ship that is arguably among the game's best-balanced to make the existing poor-designed crap look better, or do you intend to make the existing crap better by bringing it up to standard.

Dev-response needed, not generic trolling!

Star Wars: the Old Republic may not be EVE. But I'll take the sound of dual blaster-pistols over "NURVV CLAOKING NAOW!!!11oneone!!" any day of the week.

Time to sum up what has become a giant tease of a blog.


So the only real information contained in this blog is that there will be some information revealed in fanfest? What?

So..... basically.... this wasn't a blog at all. It was an advert to try and get us to spend tons of money coming to fanfest so that CCP can show off their new flagship product: DUST. And then, while they have us there, convince us all to buy PS3s so we can give them even MOAR of our money for the pathetically little (if any at all) amount of content they produce.

Wow.

And just when I thought Senior Producers didn't come in any flavors WORSE than Zulu......

Once again CCP proves me wrong and shows that customer satisfaction CAN indeed reach new lows.

Out.

The Ibis is going to lose it's asymmetry... The one thing that made that ship Caldari was it's lopsidedness. Gonna miss it when it goes.
As for the rest of Inferno - Can't wait. Looks really good so far.

EDIT: From what little I've "seen" that is...

I'd like to see the role of mercenary play a bigger (any?) part in the game mechanics.

1) Placing a bounty on an individual should only be allowed if the person placing the bounty has kill rights on that player. The contract can be posted public for 2 weeks in the bounty office or directly to a player or corporation and has a maximum duration of 30 days. When a non-pvping player is ganked they can contract a merc to kill the person and get retribution without risking themselves. Since bounties and kill rights are only applied to those that have broken the law then the game continuity is not affected.

2) For high-sec warfare a carebear corp should be able to create a contract when dec'd that can be public and accepted any time during the 24-hours grace period by a corp or contracted directly to another corp at any time (with another 24 hour grace period) so that the war dec is now against the merc corp. Normal Concord conventions apply after that contract is accepted. This would allow the carebear corp to get out from under the war dec but not punish the war decing corp by forcing them to pay more for a war. It would be even better if the carebear corp's contract could include a scalp fee so that the mercs would get paid per kill enforced by the contract system.

tl;dr: high-sec pvp could be improved by providing tools for players to perform the role of bounty-hunter/mercenary to a fuller extent...

So... CCP,
Do you (will you ever) give a squat about not pew-pew players in EVE???
Industry and mining is on life support and you don't give a squat about players that like that part of game.
How much more indy ppl need to leave eve until you throw us a bone?
EVE needs at least one BIG Industry and Mining expansion.

You are building a roof without a foundations.

1 big thing is missing.

With all the nerf supers going on putting them into killing caps box...
Where are the caps you mention CCP?? Box is empty....

No one is using caps as they just Blob BS or even BC to kill structures :P

Why not box the big structures like Ihubs and stations to ignore damage from sub caps? forcing invaders to use caps or supercaps? or atleast giving structures 50% resist from sub cap weapons....

i LOL'ed at Goons shoting station in drakes...oh yeah 400 drakes or more... but really???

No risk big reward game :P
