i was going to ask the same thing, no new mods for 1.1. i thought ccp said they were going to be releasing more mods as inferno went on?

I was just wondering this same question myself while I was looking at the patch notes for the next iteration for Inferno. The other thing I am really excited to hear about is the new ship re-balancing. As long as we are asking about things that were mentioned and we haven't heard any more about it.

So for the sole case of nullsec uniquely-superpowered-tackler bubblers (something no tech1, tect3 or all but 1 other tech2 can do, hold a whole fleet [even if stabbed] by a single module cycle), you don't want to have them to be as cunning as fit a cloak/sit somewhat away from your <150km away fleet, and have a single second person combat scan the targets to warp the bubbler onto them. Instead you want dictors to be able to perform this surprise tactic solo, so that you still end up with buffer fit blobs vs buffer fit blobs, and tier3 BCs will be even more overpowered for their agility & speed to leave the bubble sooner?
Wow what a shakeup and empowering of different fits on all those other ships in the game...

I would rather see the rep amount of armour modules doubled, this would mean you don't always need dual injectors for a currently-dual rep tank just to come close to an unCrystal'd single injector single rep shield tanker. Few PvP armour ships have 3 or even 2 mids free after injectors anyway for the mandatory mwd, point/scram, web to make up for their speed deficit. This won't break PvE because active armour tanks already aren't the optimum setup.

Could we have any more clarification on its mechanics, abilities and intended use? What hole in current tactical options it should fill/new specific tactics it should enable? Rather than being random new stuff ('fling **** at the wall and see what sticks') at the expense of effort that could be balancing the existing assets?

Right now we have unlinked Cyclones tanking over 200,000 resisted HP thanks to the ASBs. Meanwhile armour tankers have nothing similar, the reactive resist module is a joke (what is the use rate atm?) and limited to one per ship, and Crystals still exist while armour rigs slow your ship down.

I obviously sound like I have an agenda, but 75% of the main races are meant to be viable for armour tanking, and 1 to specialise in it, but right now you're better off simply not bothering but going buffer, using the resist race bonuses instead, or straight up shield & nano fitting all the god damned things.

Is the MJD really going to help something like blaster BSs be of any use outside of docking/gate jump range? Will it let all BSs have a different kind of maneuverability compared to tier 3 BCs, and is this not just power creep?

1.1 is not the final patch for Inferno.

Technical art to me implies somewhat core client changes, such as tying physics simulation structures to the visual models. Remember this module is to move the ship about the grid unlike any other, there would presumably be several phases to this action & animation and they would need synchronising, as ship death or module inhibition could occur at various points.
It probably isn't that they can't find someone to do a nice warping animation that adjusts for ship model and perhaps distance.

But it's far more important that this creation be useful and of sufficient priority to warrant introduction to the existing unbalanced game ecosystem, rather than that it look as good as GPUs can manage.

What exactly is the purpose of this module? I am 100% against this module right now as it doesn't seem to fix any of the game issues people complain about... Fleets can already have 1 cloaker/ceptor 150+ km in front of the fleet and doeverything.

More than anything this looks like a get-away easy module?

With the current game mechanics you cannot surprise anyone prepared to warpout anyway since the the tackler will be visible on the overview for 3-5 seconds coming out of warp before he can start target anything :-(
So use this module on a sniper ship? warp-in start sniping and activate module = 30 seconds of sniping and then rinse/repeat?

I'm sorry, this has to be a mistake? 2 months away?
RAH being made somewhat useful, ASBs being tweaked, FW NPCs being adjusted, Incursions being (poorly) unnerfed,.. 1.1 is on Sisi but 2 months from TQ?

I would just like to hear the thoughts behind the module...
Maybe it has potential, however as of now I don't see how it adds to Eve?

please put this module somewhere in a very very far corner and don't release it at all...and put those people to work fixing things that actually don't work...like your new inventory
