Jesus christ! CCP, for the first time ever you actually listened to the player base!

I'm in shock. Cautiously waiting in anticipation.

Cool.
Minmatar: Best for PVP
Caldari: Best for PVE
Galente: Hybrids boost
Amarr: *WHERE'S OURS?*

I think Amarr is being left behind in the dust. My suggestion, create crystals that can deal kinetic and explosive damage as well. A particle beam would fire particles, which should create kinetic damage (could deal out high amounts of EM, some amount of Kinetic, and a little amount of thermic). A highly concentrated beam should be able to combust materials on the target ship, creating explosive damage (so this crystal could deal out Therm/Exp). Just my opinion on things, because Amarr is too limited on what types of targets it can shoot against.

I would also appreciate a slight boost to Energized Adaptive Nano Membranes, anywhere between +5-10% boost to the resists (instead of 20% to all resists the T2 offers, it could offer from 25-30% resists) to counter that of the popular Invulnerability Field (which the T2 version offers 30% and the Navy version offers 37.5% compared to the Amrr Navy EANM of a much smaller 22.5%).
This armor boost would affect more than just Amarr, but Galente and Minmatar that use armor as well to rival the popular shield tank.

To further interate on WiS content.

I think the networking guys (the ones who weave all of eve together) would be very busy quantifying and transporting dust links from their in house servers in time for the testing this winter. So WiS Multiplayer is out of the question for the forseeable future.

The new nebulas is being developed out of house so the chances of it being in the game is all dependent on that studio's delivery time.

Engine trails where hinted at in the works previous Sisi build as the thruster glows where getting particle textures and the sort. Which gives it a more definite look over a ball of light.

Actually, as far a development is concerned, there are zero promises in the Blog.

They gave you their working priorities list, and the items on it may or may not make it into next expansion.

They made this abundantly clear.

If something doesn't make it into the next expansion for whatever reason, I don't want to hear tired "broken promises" or "not what you say but what you do" memes.

I was considering to point that out, but then I thought about Chribba.

But more seriously; there's way too much black and white. This game will never be a solo PvP game, that's something that's certain - and logical. It wouldn't be reasonable to ask CCP to balance PvP for everything from solo to blob PvP. The bad aspect is how it's only blob PvP that is relevant now. There should be areas for small- and medium scaled fighting as well, perhaps in particular in lowsec, and optional for guerilla warfare in null.

Through history, smaller groups of more PvP centered pilots, used to be able to fight the blob. That's rarely the case today. If we think back to m0o, BoB, MC, PL, hell could even mention Triumvirate (couple of earlier versions), etc. There's more examples, but they have in common they fought blobs, and did well in null due to superior tactics/setups/etc. That aspect of EVE has died off, and boosts to blob mechanics is one of the issues.

fingers crossed for Tier 2 command ships and Drone command link, myrmidon hull command ship please, replace the Eos' drone bonus with ewar bonus for drones and move the drone bay bonus to the myrm, and increase bandwidth to 125 or make one of the drone command links increase bandwidth :-D (others being damage and durability)

This was a great letter, full of hope for the future.

My only concern is bringing hybrids back as a viable weapon type in the game. I spent a lot of time training hybrids and came back to my characters only to find they got weaker....Please make all weapon paths viable or warn users about using them.

I must say, that's a nice list.

Would fixing missile animations and making missile launchers actually show on one's ship happen to be on that metaphorical list as well? Caldari pilots are still feeling left out because of the new turret engine and animations.

Why are we thanking you?
