also 2nding that russian question. really want to hear an answer on that one.

Whats up with V3 textures being dark, and how close are we to getting those extra shaders you've been talking about for when everything is V3'd. Do we have to wait for the stations and the gates and cap ships to be finished, or will we get more fancy lighting sooner than that? Textures are getting so dark, I've turned up my gamma.

Because its not allowed. Only one ship can fit RR modules, to prevent uber unkillable RR tanks.

I mean seriously what happens to these old features that are one point seemed months from release. what happens to features like this? do they get prototypes and then reviewed to not be fun? I'd just like a window into what happens to some ideas that get left behind.


i second this actually, i remember seeing a demo of atmospheric flight from either 2003 or 2004, what happened to that stuff?

basically this, i remember seeing one or two matches a long long time ago, where two scorpion spider tank groups faced off, and it was really long and boring with nothing happening the entire match

For Kil2, I watch your livestreams occasionally and I have to ask you to reiterate on your feelings about the ancillary shield booster that gets alot of use in the tourney here. Especially I'd like to know your feelings about useing it on say a hurricane in solo roaming. (Also, you should know what I'm talking about... and it involves ponies and fake ship fitting links)

I don't know who does the in-match camera work, but someone has got a real flair for it. There have been some really great, creative action shots. Jaguar close-up flyby in Hun Reloaded vs. The G0dfathers was a case in point.

Props to you, Mr Cameraman.

How can you overload your dronebay?

It was a new topic CCP navigator made about the tourny rules.

Question for the commentators:

What happend to stealth bomber setups? They were very popular in previus tournaments. We havent seen them at all in this tournament? Are they priced wrongly point wise? Too squishy?

There are ships that get a variable drone bay size based on skills. The Ishkur is an example. Apparently something about this breaks the automated tools that CCP uses to monitor the matches.

Tech 1 and 2 Battleships. They both cost the same amount in points. I was wondering what reason would a team have to go with a Megathron over a Kronos etc?

Assault Frigs are 2 points less. So the bombers are overshadowed.

Can you guys talk about some of the Flagships killmails? What their fittings were and the approximate jita value for the ship? I won't feel so bad about my own killmails!

Will we ever get a pirate faction that uses Amarr and Gallente skills for those of us that foolishly trained only those two races?

Gallente ships have done well in ATX with the Hybrid buff but you rarely see them used in fleets on TQ except for a specific role like the Lachesis (unlike the other races). Do you see this as being because of an unbalanced design problem or simply not being the popular/most effective fleet design? If a problem, what do you think could be done to make general Gallente ships useful in fleets?

Do senturies follow the ship that launched them around? what makes them special compared to other drones?
