EVE Online: Retribution 1.1 Feedback

I have a question that seems appropriate to ask here:

Myself and my buddy are fairly new and have managed to work our way up to BCs. I fly the Myrmidon and he flys the Huricane. Before the last patch we had just started level 4 missions and while challenging the few we did were definately doable. Since the patch we have only done one level 4 mission due to in that mission my buddy lost his Huricane twice and it took us 5 hours to complete the mission (nearly every other mission we have taken on has taken less than 30 minutes). Now I am curious as to if the first level 4 missions that we did were unusually easy, or was the one we did after the patch unusually hard or was it the patch that made doable become undoable.

Any insight would be appreciated.



Another off topic question: I see that the BSs have very long shield regeneration times, but when I fight an NPC BS they seem to be regenerating extremely fast. Is this due to the NPCs having ships (or mods, skills etc.) that players do not have or am I missing something?

Thanks for any info.

the shield recharge time is the value when you have a passive shield regeneration, ie : you sit there without doing anything, you shield goes back up.
when it recover instantly with a big chunk of hit point, it is through the mean of a shield booster.

BS have bigger shield booster than BC, usually more shield too, and yes : NPC have secret module we don't have.

the thing is you need to bring a ship (or ships) that do more damage than they can repair

Great patch. I love the new tabs on the left that show information, and how they are now minimize-able. However, I think for better efficiency and a way to save screen space, it might be better to not show the way-points(or destinations) tab if you don't have a destination. It just takes up space, and doesn't really do anything without a destination.

You would have to be more specific about what kind of damage your Myrm and his Cane were doing, as well as the fit itself. In-game mail me and I'll tell you where you've gone wrong, because ultimately Lvl4s in BCs can go both ways depending on your skills and fits, but if you've lost 2 Canes then you could really do with a hand.

I am currently unable to log in to the game- recieving an "INCORRECT USERNAME OR PASSWORD" error message yet the same username/password works fine on this site so I at least know they haven't been changed on my account and therefore should work.
Can anyone help?
Also unistalling/delete game data/ reinstalling dosent work nor does the repair game or safe mode options.

Hated ferox before, love ferox now. If fitted properly it can put out a tank similar to a drake with the flexability of using guns.

3 things:

Please make it so that when you hide any of the panels (e.g. autopilot or solar system) it remembers these settings after login / logoff.

Second thing: I find the missile camerashake rather annoying, would appreciate it if it were removed entirely or made optional.

Lastly: perhaps the waypoint lines on the stars in space could be a bit brighter, thicker (they arent alwas that obvious), whatever, and also make them go from wide to narrower with each waypoint further away.

Please fix the Drake... at least give back the missile option and the highslot... or at least put the tank back the way it was. I have 12 drakes and now i have 12 next to usless ships sitting in my assests after doing all these days of training heavy missiles b4 you nerfed the **** out of those and now the HAMs but what use is it now that one of the best ships to use it on is terrible?

My drones have gone David Copperfield on me...

I have had two instances in the past week where I am mining (once with a Mack, once with a Retriever), with drones out for rat defense (5 Infiltrator IIs with the Mack, and 4 Acolyte Is with the Retriever).

Upon filling the ore hold, I have retrieved my drones, docked in a base, dumped my ore, and immediately (as in, within 15 seconds) undocked and headed back to the same spot in the belt I was in before.

When I returned, I went to deploy my drones...and all were gone.

On the off chance that I SOMEHOW unloaded them in the station (used "Select All" from the ore hold only, so not sure how that would be possible, but still...), I went back and checked, and they were not there.

The first time, I thought I had just screwed something up...but the second time (so soon after the first, when I was consciously aware of not wanting to do the same again!) made me wonder...

Have you just given CCP Phantom? Every link for each patch just points to the same page. Why bother. I could understand if that page at least had links to the patch notes? It's early in the morning for me hopefully I am just missing something LOL.

Where IS the link to patch notes for all these mini-updates? I've looked and can't find it.

Yes, good work. Still the best game ever.

Not sure about the training nerf for Rorquals, but didn't like flying that ship anyhow, on the plus side I will receive a good bit of bonus with the BC training queue changes, thanks.

The graphics and effects are sumptuous, the new Black Ops package is marvellous and being able to fit a covert cyno' on all covert ships is excellent, had a lot of fun in my T3 with Black Ops.

Could make use of a T2 fleet BS, with jump drive, and charges holds on most ships, but that's for another thread.

And in general, Retribution, bringing us the duel and bountys options, with the kill rights and such, well, top stuff, I'm lost for words and I'm finishing up her to go log on to eve, thanks.

Getting you on your feet.

So you've further to fall.

when using core scanner probe and multi-resizing them with shift+drag on the bubble, graphically all probe are resized except some times :
the scan range number is not changing for all the probes, and when hitting the scan button, the probe are resized on the screen with the value from the scanner windows.
(ie: in the scanner windows, 1 probe is at 1AU and 3 at 2AU, the one at 1 AU being the one I was resizing)


This has been an issue for me while scanning as well. Even before the patches.

What is your actual complaint with the drake? is it that you can now put out more dps when using kinetic missiles? The minor, minor drop in tank does not make it a useless ship. I have been able to use mine exactly the same before and after the patch. the only difference is I tend to have more missiles left in my hanger at the end of a day.
