As a bored bittervet i approve this blog and contents. I'm looking forward to an actual reason to fly all these ships i've never bothered with because they currently suck or have zero rolls in fleet/solo activities.

Keep up the good work CCP.

Awesome job fitting in the T1 cruisers this Winter! (Which will make next year all about the ships players are actually flying! :P). But seriously you guys are doing a great job with the balancing and have a great plan for getting things where they need to be.

Nice to see a T1 Logistic option, will open up options for fleets.

Please ccp don't make all the attack ships some terrible kiting sheit..

Give the thorax a rep bonus or something? then it can be fast and pew close range?



Other then that everything looks brilliant, although i am not really fuzzed about the "Making every ship a mini-battleship of some sort" Its a bit of a silly statement since well.. The difference in how a cruiser and a BS flies is so wast it becomes a bit odd..


The concept art for the vaga looks brilliant though, too bad it has the same problem as all the other HAC's.. BC's are cheaper and better.

Agree with the above....

Eve ships have been really unique and different from one another especially in different classes. But it makes it sound as we're simply going to have frigate-geddon, cruiser-geddon, battleship-geddon, etc etc. Easy to balance, but considerably more boring.

Oh you guys hit the jackpot on the Stabber / Vagabond new design. A sweet mix of the old minmatar we love and some new 'modernization' of their fleet :)

The good old days of Unreal Tournament, fragging and sniping on Facing Worlds, listening to Foregone Destruction.......
