I just had a pretty awesome encounter with GM Oblivion who was visiting Duripant this evening to help the newbies. He brought this, the Polaris, and let me get some pretty cool screenies of it. Unfortunately, it wasn't fit, so he wouldn't duel me in my pathetic excuse for a Succubus (in comparison, that is). Anyhow, enjoy the gallery. If it works, that is... I've never used Photobucket before, but I've had to because Dropbox is being complicated atm. Anyway, I'm sure you'll all lemme know if I did it wrong.

EDIT: If I've done the link to the gallery wrong, I'll just upload to dropbox and make a link to each photo.

And to the devs.... when do we get this ship, or something that looks this sexy but maybe nerf the bonuses on it?

Well, when I asked the Oblivion if it was Jovian, I got a pretty direct "yes", so I'm going to need a bit more than your word on that.

Silence, whelp. If it can be shot at, I want to duel it P even if I'm going to lose, I'll have a story to tell. "Today, I got taken out by a Polaris."

At the very least it would be a nice loss mail.

I'll edit the title if a dev can confirm. So far, a GM has told me otherwise, and that wiki page doesn't say it's not Jovian.

It can't be shot at, because it can't be targeted. Clearly you did not try to...

No, I didn't, I just put the camera on him and got some screenies.

The GMs don't necessarily know squat about the lore.

Here is the Jove ship line up, let us know if you see the suspect in it.

Seening as Polaris is really just the different Volunteer and Dev programs without any backstory, calling a Polaris ship Jovian would be pretty wrong. However if it had been flying around in an Enigma that would have been another story.

As for uber ship to take out other pilots, a GM would have an easier time to just /destroy something than fitting that single launcher hardpoint with an offensive weapon.

See, as someone with little experience of the lore myself, I'm limited in my own authority of the subject. So taking the word of randoms is off the table, and as far as I know a GM is going to know more than an externally-sourced Wiki, unless I can get confirmation from a dev or well known veteran, or even some evidence that the Wiki article on Jove ships posted above was edited by someone with known authority on the topic. As I know you to be an experienced player, I will defer to your expertise and happily alter the title.

EDIT: And I can also defer to an ISD in light of such weighty opposition to it being a Jove ship P

I've made a lot of mistakes in my time, but I regret nothing.

You can't get any more of a well known veteran than Chribba. Chribba doesn't just play eve online, he IS eve online.
