Someone linked this video on Reddit and I just can't pick my jaw up off the floor...

This is a radical change... and I like it. I had to share. You'll want to see this.

My pod is now filled with crap. Did aura even finish saying "warp drive active?"


EDIT: Adding relevant related Dev threads in Features & Ideas.

[Rubicon] Warp Speed and Acceleration
[Rubicon] Interceptors


EDIT2: Here is a side by side comparison of the changes. TQ vs SISI - interceptor comparison.

Inties getting much faster and BC/BS getting much slower in regard to warping is the best thing that has happened in this game in the last 7 yrs in my opinion.

Warp acceleration isn't tied to just interceptors. It applies to all ships. Frigs will now warp faster and actually beat larger ships to the next gate.

I'm guessing you didn't watch the video? Those interceptors can warp as fast as a shuttle now, and will cross 50AU in seven seconds. Interdiction nullified. My god.

Awesome changes, more players in null with the incentive of doing stuff and get the feeling they can do it (they will get killed anyway), more fun for everyone.
Looks amazing.

Which means, they can "intercept" now?

Actually I like the moment when he falls out of warp, it looks more like leaving warp to me ....
Anyway, that Warpspeed changes will rock \m/

That looks nice. Looking forward to try an interceptor for the first time when rubicon hits, seems like the right moment to do just that. Smile

I disagree

Odyssey had some nice changes... some long overdue changes. It was a good expansion. Unfortunately, my wardec plans never really materialized because I haven't been able to log enough hours to make any of my plans come to fruition. I've been a casual player... and in that light the changes in Odyssey didn't change much for me. Rubicon is CRAZY. It's forcing me into a lot of difficult decisions. My ninja looting just got a hell of a lot more dangerous. I don't think my ninja catalyst is going to cut it anymore. These interceptors will eat me alive. I won't be able to slip away like I used to. They'll get me. ...and my null travel / looting T3 cruiser is almost totally obsolete. I say almost because if I switch out for the much more affordable / faster warping / survivable interceptor I'm going to have to deal with the ninja looting overshooting problem. Doing a 60 system burn through null sec will go WAY faster now... which is nice because whereas I had to commit time to arranging my gatecamp when solo camping, now a fun and quick option would be to not camp at all but get into an interceptor for a 30 minute suicide roam, meaning I'll actually be able to PLAY more. I really have to rethink everything I do.
