I just pinned a notice at my monitor "The scroll bar of a window is there for a reason." Sorry, my bad. But yes, at least the names should be taken into review. Otherwise it would look a bit inconsistent.

The old "combat" command ships only allow 1 gang link working at once

The Nighthawk needs a low dropped in favor of a mid. A two-slot shield tank after prop/web/scram is laughable. Combine that with only two rig slots, and its tank is only marginally better than a Drake's.

The Claymore can afford to drop a mid in favor of a low, especially since it needs to lose a low slot to a Co-Processor II in order to fit an XLASB.

With the current slot setup, the Claymore can fit a stronger buffer than the Nighthawk without even making use of its booster tanking bonus. That's just stupid. If you think of an XLASB as buffer, the Claymore can beat the Nighthawk by >25%.

It's also faster than the Nighthawk and has a smaller signature.

Honestly, there's no reason at all to use a Nighthawk over a Claymore. Hell, even the Damnation ends up looking mighty good as a missile boat by comparison.

Ahh cool. Basically any LP store that has any empire faction navy ships will also have navy mindlinks.

I always had issues reading spreadsheets, I often put lots of colors to mine to see them better, and I must say ; if the new show info UI looks good, I don't like it at all, as I have issues reading it.
As a very easy fix to do, i'll quote Trebor's comment on Poe's blog :

Not sure what you guys did to the movement of the tracking camera but please keep it as it is on SISI right now.

It's just so absolutely beautiful when you enter a new system, initiate warp to a celestial, tracking camera starts to adjust with the ship still on cloak and once you've gone into warp the ship glides into view. AWESOME! Especially when the ship in its full pride rises from the bottom of the screen...WOOHOO!

This simple little tweak (if it really is a feature and not just a bug ) has almost the same effect the rearrangement of the gates once had. It's like magic.

UPDATE
Just noticed that said effect just appears if the next celestial is out of sight when entering the system and as long as the tracking camera hasn't already repositioned itself to the ship or the next waypoint. Sadly it doesn't seem to be a feature... Maybe it could be made one?? Just by letting the ship sway out of screen by a slight degree. The effect is soo cool but far to rare.

some nice changes, but please let the infowindow, what it is actually.

About the shipchanges:

- give the zealot, the cerberus and the eagle a 25m3 dronebay and bandwith. Many people dont want that, because they believe, that these ships become fully soloboats, but i dont believe that. a tackefrig can easly kill smalldrones.

- replace the stupid cap reductionbonus on the absolution to a 10% damage bonus, but replace the rof bonus with a range or tracking bonus.

- give the astarte back his dual damage bonus, instead of a damage and rof bonus (10% from bc and cs skill to mht damage)

- replace the mht trackingbonus on the eos with something usefull

- increase the damagebonus on the vulture to 20% per level

- increase the missiledamage bonus on the damnation to 20%

- give the nighthawk and the cerberus a 5% bonus to all missile damage instead of only kinetic missiles.

- replace one of the rof bonuses on the claymore to a damage bonus. (lagfix)

but the rest sounds great

Many bug fixes, small other additions (check for example this thread by CCP karkur), new bugs included (for example huge patch size and empty popup boxes). Top post is updated.

latest update makes me patch over 2.21 JIGABYTE between last weeks version and todays version. Just saying.

Doesn't this just further the gap between the big 4 LP stores and all of the others? Khanid LP isn't worth the ammo it costs to farm it.
