EVE General Discussion

I want to say that I was not really excited at all about this new system because it does not add any gameplay.

However, in talking to one of my brothers about the game who does not currently play because of the complexity...it was the very first thing I told him about the expansion.

This was very well executed and I really hope you guys take feed back and continue to make this a giant knowledge base and guide for newer pilots.

I understand the fundamental design concept about not wanting to add the ship skills (in order to show people what else they can fly well) but I really think you guys should rethink this. I had a new pilot in my corp just the other day that did not understand why he needed to train up caldari cruiser past 1 for the tech 1 cruisers because the skill itself does not say why it is important. I feel this needs to be addressed some how in this program. Implementing a priority system for some of these skills with these added in would be very cool.

One last side note: Every time I pulled ISIS up, I still had a bunch of windows like my station and random windows I had open in the background interfering with my complete enjoyment...any way ISIS can take priority over all other windows on the screen as soon as its opened?

Some of you pilots that are complaining about the ISIS are really dumb, doesn't take a genius to work it out. So any changes they make for your benefit won't make any difference because you're dumb and still won't get it.

BTW ...CCP good work, thankyou.

Prove it, show us how its done big shot :P

Some feedback:

• Those transport icons (right up to the JF), they're too similar to combat ships. Transports and ORE ships should have their distinctive icons, imo.
Add circles or rounded shapes, too much triangles. If you want to preserve the hull class consistency, I'd still find a way to put some circles somewhere to denote non-fighting ships.


• Bottom left is a hard area to minimize (if you're still using default CCP layout where Local is) . Scrolling is too limited. Please extend scrolling borders all-round so that you can scroll freely the entire ISIS map to alleviate from having to minimize multiple windows ... just to have a proper look at it.


• Those faction icons repeatedly linked for the pirate faction/SOE are redundant and clutters up the view. If you really must put it, one link is enough.


• Guristas icon aren't orange. They're gold (when I bring up and compare it ingame to Guristas in the standings list). Infact some of the other icons downright look wierd. Don't start changing things when it's unececessary and if you do, be at least consistent.

Minor thing: It would be nice to be able to have wider margins on the zoom in/out. When running split screen, the way it splits isn't too pleasant.

On the test server, if you kept your cursor on one of the ships for awhile, a 3d portrait of it would be shown in the background flying
Why did you took it out

I too was baffled about that requirement last night and was wondering if I was missing something about needing WU/AWU for my logi toon.

I do love ISIS though, it has clearly pointed out a few gaps in my skill sets which I will work on now, at a 100 million skill points I have been at a loss on what to train next for a few weeks now.

Keep up the great work!

It follows some sound logic, if you take the time to appreciate it.

We are talking about an active tanked ship that uses capacitor to stay alive. The skill in question reduces capacitor cost of travel. Therefore, by training it to 5 you start the fight at a higher total capacitor. In essence, it's a (marginal) tanking skill. We all know cap is life, even on a buffered ship.

That sounds right at home with racial drone specialization 5 for all four races in the Mastery V category.


The real issue is that, in that context, it should not be company to skills such as Repair Systems 5, which should be completed sooner.

With gun boats you seem to reach T2 weapons at mastery 4 and jump to weapon spec 5 in mastery 5. This should be more along the lines of T2 weapons by Mastery III, weapon specialization 4 for Mastery IV, then Specialization 5 in Mastery V with special snowflake skills for people with OCD.

With 105m SP, apparently I'm only qualified to pilot freighters (no modules or rigs).

There seems to be a dependency on the same non-essential skills.

An improvement over the previous certificates, but still some arguably odd requirements.

I also wish the ship icons changed colours with levels other than V, as the text and icons don't really contrast. Coloured connecting lines would also be nice, other than just grey and greyed-out. Example: lines and / or icons with a brighter colour indicating an increased percentage of total skill points, so at a glance one could see a specialization.

Thank you, It's very rewarding to get appreciations from our players, it fuels us to do even better
