EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Even more questions from the Russian forums (apologies if any of these have already been asked):

• Will you ever boost armor tanking and/or nerf the Ancillary Shield Booster?
• Why V3'ed Angel ships are so dark?
• Any chance that EVE's Mac client will finally get fixed? We Mac users haven't heard back from the developers or the support team in a very long time.
• Will you bring back Linux support?
• Do you have anything in store for those of us who enjoy following EVE's background story?
• What are your plans in regard to WiS? Perhaps you could start with upgrading our personal quarters with minigames, etc.
• Do you plan on introducing new 3D models for Tech 2 ships? Marauders, command ships, jump freighters: they all deserve more attention than simply giving them a different paint scheme.
• Custom paint jobs for player ships?
• Can we expect to see anything new added to the W-space anytime soon? At the very least, give us better nebulae!
• Please tell us hardware buffs about the upgrades you did to the server earlier this week.
• How long do you think we will have to wait for the new damage effects and the new overview?
• Is there a chance of CCP introducing some kind of feedback for the 'Report bot' feature? It's kind of discouraging to get no acknowledgement whatsoever from you guys.
• Can we hear more about your plans for EVE Gate, the forums, and the internet at large?
• What about apps for tablets and smartphones? Are you working on any projects in this field?

I have the following available for the matches today:

Oban 14
The Glenrothes Select Reserve
The Glenrothes 1998
Glenlivet 12
Glenfiddich 18
Ben Nevis 15 Year Old
The Famous Grouse

What should I have in my glass for the final match? And if you suggest The Famous Grouse, you know nothing!

You're one gravely misled individual. I recommend you start with a twin combo like Romeo y Juliet No.3 + Terra d'Oro Zinfandel port. And after the break, when the port bottle is empty, you should switch to something classy like Auchentoshan three wood sg. malt.

If they are allowed in the tournament, then how prevalent are the use of booster drugs?

I was just about to sharpen my pitchfork when I saw a blend at the bottom. Then I saw it was a knowing trap to flush out the heathens.

I'm not familiar with all of those, so I checked my malt Whisky Companion Manual, which scores them all out of 100. This is what it said:

Oban ("Medium, with fresh peat and a whiff of the sea.") 14 y/o - 79
Glenrothes ("Perfumy, sweet, spicy-fruity, complex.") - Newest listed was a 1989 scoring 82 (the '73 scored 90!)
Glenlivet ("Flowery, fruity, peachy.") 12 y/o - 85
Glenfiddich (Young=dry, fruity, Mature=raisiny, chocolatey.") 18 y/o - 78
Ben Nevis ("Fragrant, robust, oily with a touch of smoke.") 10 y/o & 21 y/o - 77

So the book says the Glenlivet is your finals drink of choice, but with a personal single malt selection like that, I'm guessing you've already got your favourite. Unless you're in your Dad's drinks cabinet, in which case GTFO and buy your own. ;)

I'm a fan of Aberlour personally, but throughout the tournament I'll probably be drinking a dirty Morgans Spiced Rum.

With regard to Kil2's observation on no two ships being able to travel at the same speed, would a "match target speed" button be useful in that regard? Also, what about preset formations (and possible bonuses, perhaps moreso for racial homogeny)?

why did PL bring the flycatcher... what role was it playing in that last match against Test

here is something i have been thinking about:

the point cost of navy faction ships, vs the pirate faction ships,

while the navy ships are very good, i'm very partial to the fleet tempest myself, but noone is going to bring one while the machariel is the same point cost

this seems to be the same with a lot of the navy ships vs the pirate ships

should the navy and pirate faction ships be two seperate classes, with each their own point cost, instead of all in one point group

Oop, didn't see this thread. Posted a thread. Should talk the command ships. They make a huge difference in fights and havent been discussed yet unless I missed. Missed a couple days due to tech difficulties.
