If there is one thing in this great universe that will never change, it is the age-old debate over everyone's favorite ugly duckling.
The Moa.

WOW DAT VAGABOND IS SEXAYYYYYYYYY

Hope this means we'll be getting a Art Blog soon, those are wicked as well, but they are so few and far between, i like to see where the UI and Art team are working as it tells a lot of where eve is heading.

Great work on the balancing, the idea that i might actually be able to stop flying a damn auto cane and go fly a thorax again makes me excited.

Right?! I love art blogs! Nothing better than some nice hi-res concept art to pull it to until glorious glorious patch day.

I like the new Stabber!

Is CCP planning to redo all the ships?

  • All hail the great and powerful devs, for their magnanimity knows no bounds
  • The frill is back and meaner looking than ever. I can actually buy a Vaga again.
  • New Destroyers (!!!!) as true frigate killers and frigates repping other frigates... oh my how beautiful small ship combat shall be.
  • The Ruppy desperately needed some speed, so huzzah.
  • Stabber's speed integral, and a new bonus in it's place?? How about... falloff bonus? You said damage projection :)
  • I can't wait to see what the Cyclone's future is like. It was a worthy, if frustrating stepping stone on the way to the Maelstrom, but the Hurricane is just so damn good at... everything.

Moa needs cap and fitting, not blasters.

I am intrigued by the possibility of T2 science ships somewhere in the near future.

I would pay many theoretical Internet dollars if you produced (or, if it's already produced, someone pointed me to) a set of high-quality painted images for other ships like the Stabber and Vagabond ones used in the articles.

Namely, I think a printed and framed Incursus painting would look fabulous on my wall at work.

But no graphs :(

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

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 :)


Completely agree - this is fantasticness!

The faction ships are all being looked at in due course, however we're planning to get the basic T1 versions done first.

Is there any plan to actually address drones and their issues?

You CCP folks appear to be forgetting that drone DPS currently can only really best be used as a supplemental bit of DPS or Ewar because:

1. They normally take an ages to actually catch up to a target to actually apply their dps
2. They are the only weapon system that gets destroyed / left behind regularly on the battlefield
3. Sentry guns dont like drones making use of them in lowsec as a pirate pretty much a no-no
4. The E-war stacking penalties are horrible to all drones except ECM drones

If your balancing plan consists of making more out and out drone ships, especially smaller hulls - then please consider giving us smaller sentry drones at least for the frigates/destroyers along with some buffs or perhaps new modules (taking up turret hardpoints) to enable us to launch more than the 5 again to the old maximum of 10, so the enemy can suffer the brutality of a proper drone swarm once more...

On the whole though, balancing going well so far - but do please speed up or at this rate I'll be an O.A.P by the time you get round to fixing the Black Ops.

Cheers.

So any plans to make amarr laser ships about something other than scorch ammo? How about some beam lasers.

Having to rep in station and buy more cap boosters after every fight is bad for solo. Hopefully it won't have to be fitted like that. I wanted to see mini apocs and geddons, not geddons and abaddons.

In the end: we will be giving you 40 revamped hulls to play with this winter.

I think I got podded and went to tier 1 heaven Bear


Thanks for the hard work and giving us some more shinies sooner.
