EVE General Discussion

Im curious tell me what you guys think

My favourite aspects of the expansion are:

Moving all ice to nullsec
Removing grav sites from wormholes
All the tears about to happen when the new skill changes mean people can't fly their current ships

I'm excited for this expansion.

I'm getting buffed

Yeah, it should be named "EVE catch them all (containers)"

Very disappointed in exploration content (nothing really new etc.), but big amount of upgrades and fancy stuff - that's good.

But ffs it should not be called exloration expansion... that's the biggest failure of it.

What expansion? You mean the iteration comming june 4th?

97% patch n balancing 3% expansion.

I am going to enjoy my free 6.5 mil skillpoints

You mean the ones that let you fly exactly the same as what you could fly before?

Don't let my general bitching and complaining fool you, I think this expansion will overall be very good for the game, particularly the ship rebalancing (mostly), the radial menu (I've caught myself trying to use it on TQ a few times already), the massive resource redistribution, the changes to outposts and their upgrades, the changes to POSes, almost all of the art stuff, clone costs changes, dual character training, small navy cap boosters, large energy turret buffs, new navy battlecruisers, and the new text that persistently tells you if you're approaching, orbiting, keeping at range, or aligned to something (so you don't have to rely on your memory and hope you didn't accidentally click some spot in space).

Still not sure how I feel about capital rigs, the net scanning/exploration changes, the TE nerf or the ship resistance bonus nerf.
I also don't much care one way or another about the tags for sec status feature.

I would have liked an exploration -themed expansion

I'm obviously very disappointed about the total lack of love for drones while rebalancing Domi on the premise, and not getting the modular POSes, but mostly what James said. Navy BCs! <3 Hookbill nerf!

The scanning changes are indeed terrible (excluding the probe movement UI tweak), and increasing T1 battleship costs without buffing them as a ship class was a imo bad call, but anyway.

Not much "Odyssey" in it, but cool little things, this time most of them not so relevant to me, but that happens in a complex game.

This is also probably the last expansion focusing solely on fixing the basics, so I'm already looking forward to the winter expansion with it's T2 rebalancing and... the dreams of Seagull coming true.
