A rocket merlin? Unless it gets like +300% range bonuses, its going to die to the first linked daredevil you come across.

A cloaky basi? Thats what eve needs. More risk averse faggotry involving bridging or uncloaking logi.

If you are willing to take out a 25-30 billion isk cruiser and PvP with it I may call you many things... but "risk adverse" will not be one of them. Remember, there's only going to be 50 in game...

You want to bet for the whole thing? So G0dfathers for first in ATX? I'll give you 1:1.5, so if you want to bet a bill we can get Chribba to secure it and I'll match you w/ 1.5. Will take whatever action you would like.

I'll take that bet. Everyone knows they'll show up in a bunch of Cynabals, Vigilants, and Tornados. I swear its all they ever fly. Bring a couple brobirds with 3x minmatar and 1 gallente jammers and you'll pwn.

Although, I heard they're in the midst of a failcascade. Anyone want odds on whether or not they even show up?

Yes they will :)
I had the same question and appreciate your response.

Suggestion: edit the original blog to include that the (HD?) streaming will be available at no cost to viewers. IMHO, that is a great way to create goodwill with your customers. Since you are already doing so, advertise the **** out of it!

Own3d tv?
Who is this 3rd party provider?
How much do they charge?
Is this why you charged $26,000 dollars in plex as the entrance fee to the tournament this year?

In Order
1) Yes
2) See:

3) Probably less than the bandwidth and dev costs for an in-house streaming service
4) Probably not. That cost would be because of the studio, airfare, etc.

I think they intentionally put this new and probably super osprey ship as the tournament winnings because they want to see them for the next tournament. if the new ship performs better than the basilisk then the winners may very well decide to use them in the next alliance tournament... i mean was there any better tournament fight than 2 years ago when i think it was PL brought out the Freki's?

Bringing the Freki's out was indeed awesome.

I don't know about the cov logistics though... cloaking in an alliance tournament doesn't seem to be of much benefit. Guess we'll have to see what the bonuses are. If it can overload all it's modules indefinitely then that coupled with repping bonuses might make it pretty awesome. Still, the biggest mistake I see made in alliance tourneys is when a team does not or cannot primary the logistics ship. The odds of wining a fight go up significantly when the guardian dies first. The cool thing about the Freki's is what do you go after? You could primary the Freki's and really hurt the other team ISK wise... but tactically the logistics ship is worth a lot more imho. It's a tough call for the FC when they see something like that, I bet, because in normal eve combat you KNOW everyone will primary the unique ship... just to get on that KM.

As cool (re: random OP crap pulled from a hat) as a covops Logistics Cruiser sounds, I can't fathom why Caldari get shafted like this. The whole reason it's been pitched this way is that all the other recent AT faction cruisers use one of the abilities from that race's recon/EWAR pool and Caldari's only EWAR is ECM. Given what we've read, it seems it would be BEYOND TERRIBLE for a Moa to have the bonus to ECM target jammer strength like the Rook.

AT VII
  • Mimir - Minmatar Faction HAC
  • Freki - Minmatar Faction AF

AT VIII
  • Adrestia - Gallente Faction HAC
  • Utu - Gallente Faction AF

AT IX
  • Vangel - Amarr Faction HAC
  • Malice - Amarr Faction AF

Now, for AT X
  • Etana - Caldari Faction Logistics Cruiser Ugh Question Attention
  • Cambion - Caldari Faction AF

One of these is not like the other. Now's not the time to start injecting inconsistencies into the line-up. The "Etana" was supposed to be a Moa hull, Caldari Faction HAC. You got the Cambion right, so please reconsider the Etana's hull and bonus plans. I know you're itching to prove that you really did commit tiericide but get real. For such a pretty name, it doesn't need to be something that gets put away forever because it's too useful to risk losing.

As currently envisioned it also represents a fully unique ship/ability combination which is not something limited edition ships have ever been before. They have always been enhanced versions of the role the parent ship filled. If the devs really believe we need a hull that can do logistics for black ops gangs, the playerbase has been asking for a Tech 2 variant of the tier-2 battlecruisers for some time.

So CCP, how about this instead for the Etana?

Etana (Moa Hull)
5 Highs (5 launchers), 6 Mids, 4 Lows
20Mbit/s Drone Bandwidth / 20m³ Drone Bay
Powergrid: 680MW, CPU: 495tf, ~2200 Shield, ~1100 armor, ~1400 structure
60km targetting range, 17 point sensor strength, ~1600 capactor, 140m sig, 193m/s speed
Requires Heavy Assault Ships I

Cruiser Bonus: 5% bonus to shield resistances per level, 10% to missile kinetic damage and velocity per level.
Role Bonus: 150% to ECM target jammer strength, 25% to missile launcher rate-of-fire.

Dear devs
- this is about the streaming service of the old tournaments.

Why is the sound quality that bad ?

it´s violently crackling and this is harmful to both ears and speakers.
todays VII is particularly terrible during studio talks
Question

thanks for the broadcast, but pls fix the sound

Sir, that is a lot of QQ for a ship you will never see, much less fly.

I'm happy to see something new and different than the usual "it's another HAC." Not to mention that a covops logi is something unique, useful, and, well, cloaky enough that we may actually be seeing these deployed on the field instead of locked in some collector's hangar.

(I know I should be bitching to Own3d)

The only time the chat channel on their site works for me is when I'm not logged in. If I log in, it refuses to load, just cycles. I've tried shutting down all my mods, but still nada.

Anyone else with Firefox having this issue?

Just tested it once again. I log out, their chat works fine. I log back in, no chat at all.
