Rubicon really breaks the good balance that the Malediction enjoyed up until now. It goes so far that, while I was stockpiling Maledictions to use when the warp acceleration changes hit, I may end up now replacing them with Crows or Ares. It seriously breaks my heart. I mean, just look at this: http://i.imgur.com/WjJiAGn.jpg !

It looks like it's going to tip over and go into an uncontrolled spin any second! Worst of all, there is no way to rectify it, since there are no other high slots / hardpoints to work with! What used to be a magnificent ship is now marred by looking even more poorly planned than a scrapheap Stiletto or Crow. Just move one high slot's associated hardpoint locations and it would fix everything.

CCP stop ruining Eve, this game will be dead within 2 months if you don't re-balance the Malediction and release it like this. mark my words.

I for one fully accept the changes to the malediction's new balance. Can't you tell this is the beginning stages of a Death Blossom module, ala Gunstar?

Get over yourself. Just because you're the CEO of a corp and alliance doesn't mean you're entitled to push CCP around.

I wanted to test out post-Rubicon Malediction on Sisi. Turns out that thanks to this change, it is borderline unusable.

Seems like some Amarr ships have serious trouble with their hardpoints, in the sense of they're there but inexplicabily unusable. The Malediction is a good example. Also the Prophecy, as for some reason it can't have 4 launchers on each wing (2 on top, 2 on bottom) but rather 1 on top, 1 on bottom and the other ones on the rest of the hull...

I have no clue how much difficult is to modify the physical location of hardpoints on ships, but if it's not much complicated, I think it would be good to revisit them and check for such 'incongruences'.

Previously, the Malediction used hardpoint locations 1, 2, 3 and 4. Now it only uses locations 1, 2 and 3. That would be great except that it looks completely terrible. I already said this before but I'll say it again:

Art Department, can you please please please have someone take a look at the Malediction's properties and edit them to make the ship use hardpoints 2, 3 and 4 instead of 1, 2 and 3?

For some of us (as you can see) this is one of our favorite interceptors and making it look ridiculous just kinda kills it.

...Stop looking at me like that. Of course EVE players care about how their ships look - that was what you were hoping for when you made them all look amazing, wasn't it?

Good lord, man. It's the weekend. Let them have lives and families and drunken shark-eating parties and stuff.

There aren't any devs until Monday.

...and I've noticed that demanding is usually a good way to make them not respond. EVER.

Look, I don't think you understand how critical this issue is or how important I am. It's a matter of life or death of the game.

(In other words, I know this is all silly, but so what? It's more entertaining than one line of "fix Malediction hardpoints pls".)

I had 200 stockpiled for the rubicon release.

Not going to bother now that I've seen the direction it's taking. Going to reprocess them.

WTS: Whatever it is that comes out of veldspar when you mash it up a bit.

Thanks for the update.

Better than unironically using Comic Sans on the corp website, but you don't see me rubbing that in your face. Wait...
