before implementing something new you might think they should "balance" and fixa whole lot of things whit the client, spaceshipsstuffs and stuffs?


That's sort of what everything else in this expansion is geared towards?

e,g, cap balancing, new font, FW fixes...


SAAY WAAT?? New font.. holy jebuss that one will make me log in more often. gaddamnit!

To shoot the smaller ships you can't shoot with your medium ship with large guns?

Really hoping to be flying an Amarr Mentor sometime soon. I hope that is the one they chose to put in game. Were there even any Caldari designs in the contests?

Meh, it's got webs, as well as all your buddies in these things.

Come now. Given a choice of flying this thing, a cane, cyclone,.. What would you fly?

Those fun T1 cruiser gangs peeps take out now for lols? It'd be silly to continue that.

From Amarr I guess we could expect to see neut/nos bonuses. Why bother with a Curse.

Gallente, probably a cheaper and better tanking WD platform,.. ugh.

And the Caldaris, torps &,.. oh God... umm, please tell me CCP are trolling us.

I am hoping to christ for the amarr one to have a neut/nos bonus particularly if it allows you to put heavy neuts on the thing. That'd be a nasty ship.

Well I think that these ships likely won't have drones to make sure that they can't touch frigates.

Hmmmm.....Goons love suicide ganking....Goons run CSM....CSM talks to CCP...new ship = suicide gankers' wet dream.

No correlation there at all.

I have an idea CCP...if you are creating ships that can deal massive damage for essentially no loss (thanks to insurance), why not give high sec miners a ship that mines with a massive buffer. How about a mining barge with a Rorqual class tank with T2 mining lasers and a Hulk class cargo hold.

If these griefers want to pop high sec players, make sure they have to mass a bunch to make it happen.

OMG!!!! Shocked All I can say is yes Yes YES!!! Must know who decide this!! We demand to know this!!! This is exactly what we pirates need for our skirmish warfare!!!!!! Allows us to hit fast and hard but if you want to sit for a sustained fight, bring the BS'es. I see this as a boon for small gang warfare myself!! Gives something that is more cost effective that can bring the hurt if you catch something real big like a carrier or supper carrier. I see Caps and Super Cap piolets being very concerned about roaming gangs of these ships as their decently agile yet can bring some serious hurt.

At first I'm excited. Than I realize it sort of like the sacrilege, but in reverse. Just another sexy ship you'll never undock in. Sure super DPS is nice, but after you lose a couple to rifters it will collect dust.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

What do you you'll. I am flying this thing in mixed Nano Arty Hurricane/Tornado Gangs. Lets see 15 Hurricanes, 10 Tornado's, 3 Rapiers, 4 Scimitars.

You know for some reason I am not really afraid of those 2 Rifters anymore.

All wormholes to C1 systems just collapsed in fear.


Oh-oh and while we're at it let's add a faction version of said super drake with an extra launcher, mmmm.... (i think i might have just wet myself)



These are clearly meant ot be glass cannons. BS firepower (and tracking) with BC-tank screams wolfpacks a long way. I dont expect a single resist or tanking bonus. Pure gank all the way :). Fast, fun and potentially very very risky. Lol
