EVE General Discussion

Eve is spaceships.

A small step for CCP (because of lack of funding due to other so called projects), a big step of faith for the community.

Or o stick with the theme... alea iacta est, a 6 month break for me.

Came excited, left unimpressed.

Highsec POCOs are for Goons.

A few lines from the Rubicon page:

Imagine capsuleer corporations, rising in power and capabilities, flying their own colors and using their might to build up whole areas of space.


Imagine what could happen if capsuleers truly mastered the science of space travel itself, and were no longer bound to the known universe.


Yet the capsuleers, the immortal pilots of EVE's most powerful spaceships, are becoming a stronger and stronger force of their own. They will not settle with what has been served to them thus far. EVE Online: Rubicon is the first step beyond a point of no return, on a dangerous path to ascension with consequences that neither capsuleers nor players can predict.

Can u spell "Null Sec". That is what rubicon is the first step towards... u are turning High Sec - into Low and Null Sec - simply put.

Lets take it bit for bit:
Capsuleer Corporations "Rising in power ? - u mean, when the Null sec alliances - with theyre iskies and ships, etc starts taking over High sec.. Bcause - u dont seriously gonna try sell that the little corporation of 20-50 ppl, whom tries to actually build theyre own little space, will be allowed to do that without consulting/asking the larger alliances first do u ?
" Imagine disrupting what someone else built up, through cunning or force. " - yeah.. 10 Capitals will fix any of those issues.

"space travel itself, " - You mean Black Ops's and Bridges ? - why not just write that.. its in NS already.. or are you really gonna try tell us that its gonna be something completly new, and the huge alliances in NS arent gonna control them ? - right.. bcause that is soo gonna happen..

"are becoming a stronger and stronger force of their own. They will not settle with what has been served to them thus far." And we are back to the NS part... alliances already claimed NS.. they want more land, ure giving them it... as for newbie friendly.. can you say "goodbye new players" ? - bcause that is what will happen, once this is done...

Let me tell u what i think will happen...
NS items, like sov, bridges etc will start appear in HS instead of Gates: Through live events, we will see one empire after another either fall, or becoming increasingly limited in size - severly turning space from NPC controlled HS to player controlled NS: (which will NOT benifit anyone besides the NS Alliances)... eventually, HS will be small islands, very small, camped, and surrounded by pirates... we will see that concord, the protector of the newbie "in live events" or whatever other means u can think off, suddenly "vanishes", most places.. they might even be killed off in a live event "sorry ppl, Concord is bad.. they need to go..." - effectivly turning all that we know and love as HS into a NS haven for the Alliances that already control and owns so much - and we the casual - the HS players, will be left at the mercy of whatever mittens, and his "fellow" alliance bosses feels space should be run like.. we already seen how that works in NS - now its coming to HS aswell...

Seriously.. if u really are tired of us players, that seeks the PVE, a more relaxing or different approach then PVP of any sort - why not simply make that statement in a nice CCP blog, and be done with it... and we can take our hats and go..

Some of the stuff coming in Rubicon - is nice.. but once u start reading between the lines - if u cant see that this is a path leading to turning all of EVE into NS.. well..

Well, have to say I was hoping for more on the construction and exploration side, particularly with Seagull sitting in front of that artwork. Hopefully that will come over the course of the next few expansions.

We knew the Modular POS was going to be a big job and we pushed it anyway. It's interesting to see these things starting to happen. Let's give them a chance to make this work. Hopefully, this expansion will get a lot of behind the scenes foundation work done that will allow many more things to be built on it in the future.

Is that what CCP's Rubicon is? Crossing into working on Modular Stations? Odyssey at least was clear on what it was that you were trying to do. Rubicon not so much.

Sister's ships is interesting. Nice looking.

Warping changes sound great. I like the idea of interceptors being bubble proof. You'll get a lot more nullsec tourists that way.

Rapid Heavy Launcher, nice. Can Stealth bombers use them? Would make it more possible to build an anti-frig SB.

Other stuff sounds great, although I think there will be plenty of details to be worked out.

Anyway CCP, we also want more, but excited by what I do see here. Hope this works out for us all.

why would you introduce new faction ships dedicated to exploration using drones?
this seems like a waste of resources. we already have t3 which are not limited to one weapon system but seriously need to be looked at. makes le wonder if there really is a generell concept how ship classes/tech lvls (t1, t2, t3) are supposed to perform. a change for changes sake and introduction for introductaries sake...

I am more thinking of new region, build jump gates and other structures and maybe even set rules in those systems.

Thank goodness. Have you been to highsec recently? It's horrible there.

Because your member list settings are wrong?
