EVE Information Portal

Well done guys! I like it all, even the stuff I didn't think I would. Haven't seen the ghost sites yet, will probably wait to hear about them from an alliance member. The new deployables have changed how I operate all ready. Look forward to see how they change demographics all around. The ship changes were needed, and the new ships, modules, and features are well balanced. Saw my first Stratios yesterday at a gate.

CCP +1 b_O_d

Please fix the MWD & AB sounds CCP! 3 patches now and not even an indication this is going to be addressed. Its so loud I can't hear comms in fleets half the time because It sounds like a friggin' F1 race

I will not speak about the positives feedbacks, there are some, and some other people will be so happy to explain them better than me.

I am here to kick ass.

Here are the 3 most negative feebacks

Marauders

I was not well aware of your intentions about marauders. I was agree with the the idea of boosting their resistances and i trusted you . I my mind, bastion module should boost the effect of actives hardeners, repairers and booster for the
price of a short use of capacitor and of course no speed, no warp. Agree with electronic warfare boost too.

But here ... what do you have in your skull. We now have a module , it uses 0 capacitor, gives a 30% passive resist
to all damage type for the shield, the armor, even the hull , can be added (with a penalty ouf!!!) to a damage control
It s meaningless ... this is stupid ... even dreads don't have that.


the magic mobile depot

It s useless to repeat what Infinity Ziona said, I leave it to him to demonstrate the absurdity of the thing.
Effectively, we are not far to wonder if we will not soon have an white angel to get our stuff back
The everquest bag made me laugh ... yet it is quite lame.
We have told use to desactivate him if locked or attacked.


And now ... the warp speed.

I use bs, very often now, almost every day.
Listen ... i am ready to use a bs with a 0.5au/s speed if you want ... but fix the warp deceleration time when you are
visible on the grid . it was multiplied by 2 or more, it's not manageable for roaming and hit and run tactics.

I will give your an example
I my tfi i have a 17s align time.
When i am exiting from warp, it takes 10s to decelerate, visible on the grid where i can do nothing.
If i want a fight, i have to add my lock time to these 10 s. It depends on the target size and the number of sensors booster i have.
If i want to fight against an other tfi, its simple, i need 17s to lock with no sensor booster, 13.5s with one.

Now we are in a situation where the time needed to catch your target is almost by default equal to the time your target need to leave, and if it is less than your own size the game is over. I hope this is not deliberate and it is not a nerf to non consentual pvp.

I really wonder ... why this solution.

The most optimistic assumption is that because of the speed of inties you increased deccelaration for everyone ... not brilliant

Result today, above cruiser it becomes painful to move and play.
While it does not affect those using a cyno, those makeing static suicide gank, those camping the gates.
on the other side, those doing pvp with a certain style undergo a stupid nerf with no gains.

The most pessimistic assumption is that you're fully aware and you have decided to nerf thenon consentual pvp by giving a way to avoid the unwanted fights. I hope this is not the case and that you do not take us for idiots (this happened in the past)

More generally I would like to know where you want to go and what
This is your game, make what you want, but tell it
If you want an easier game, tell it.
If you want angels, ponies and mascots fights tell it
And if you do not want certain types of pvp tell it too ... do not be hypocrite so that we know if we still have to subscribe your game (and pay) or not , or if it is time to look elsewhere.

Be honest to say it now, in the coming days and not in six months

Feedback on the Mobile Tractor Unit,

Between Salvage Drones and these units, it really reduces a lot of annoying clicky clicky which is fantastic.
Some suggestions though to make life just a bit better,
- Since owners are the only ones who can scoop it, why cant the cargo come with it when you scoop it? Its not a big deal, just saves a bit of clicky and time scooping the unit and its cargo at once rather then the scoop unit, then wait for can to appear, then scoop the can too.
- As has been mentioned by other people, stop the wreck juggling. If you drop more then one of these units, they ignore the wreck at range and just pass the same wreck back and forth.
-A deploy/scoop button on the "selected item" window would be much appreciated.
- Making them tractorable would be another nice touch, so you didnt have to fly to each to retrieve.
- Of course a T2 version, faster tractor speed, two wrecks tractored at once, longer range, who knows. I would like to deploy at least five of these units all while sitting in one spot though. So if T2 was simply 0km required range from one unit to the other, I would be tickled.

A problem unfortunately,
this unit basically makes the marauders tractor bonus a waste. Almost as fast, and more importantly, a much longer range make fitting tractor beams almost a waste. Since the tractor bonus was the main reason I trained into a marauder, to loot and scoot, these units make the time spent training, not a waste, just not as important. A faction BS with a couple of these in its cargo hold would have sufficed.

Feedback? Suggestion? You decide.

Just brought my battleship through a 120 AU system. At 2 AU/s. That's 60 seconds, used to take 40. 120 seconds round trip, used to be 80. Plus the fact that it accelerates to full warp slower, decelerates from warp slower.

I think you need to add a new feature to the map so we can see how big the star systems are, as I would like to mission at a hub and it's surrounding systems where I'm not warping for quite so long.

Thank you.

Regarding feedback for the mobile tractors - IMO the Mobile tractors are a little op when used in HS. Eve is a game of player interaction. There is no way for players apart from the owner to interact with the the Tractor - greatly limiting the ability of players to disrupt the activities of other players and reducing the possibility of emergent gameplay and combat - I would have it that the tractor cargo hold be treated like a cargo can accessible to everyone instead of as it is now being treated like a gsc only accessible to its owner. Ofc if a player who is not the owner were to take from the tractor hold he would go suspect just like taking from a can or a wreck.

I'm very sorry to say this, and probably considerable effort went into those, but the newly added propulsion sound effects are scratching chalk-on-blackboard terrible.

General propulsion sounds like emergency venting atmosphere, and while their designer admirably succeded in giving distinct sounds a unique 'footprint', AB and MWD do sound metallic, alien-to-the-game, and strangely stressful to listen to in the frequency they appear throughout general gameplay. Please, do consider an overhaul.

I'm currently playing zoomed out to oblivion, renewing camera after every jump, and I am now one step away from turning off all ambient sound.


Let me balance this with all-encompassing applause for the rest of Rubicon, including one minor, but dear to me, highlight in these new skill queue tooltips!


I suppose opinions can differ about the completely desaturated obituary pictures on login screen, maybe some left over color would do them good.

It's all fine. Marauders were an almost forgotten shiptype because T3 could do the same things better, and cheaper.
Such strong boost of marauders - I suppose - was made to make them good for missions and more importantly to make them pvp-capable.


The only thing that may seem strange is that the depots don't use capacitor for refitting your ship. But you should remember that orcas and carriers also don't spend cap to refit someone else.
Everything except that seeming strangeness - is ok. Hopefully, the totally empty nullsec space - for example - will become less empty because of the new structure and the autonomy which it gives to pilots.


Bs to catch targets... LMAO. This is a nice and funny day.
Smaller targets always could warp off before you lock them. It's normal. Btw, ships larger than cruiser are not meant to catch stuff.


This. Inties could come out of warp and jump through the gate faster than your client could load them on the grid. Devs talked about this in one of the official videos, and told about their plans to deal with that, by increasing deceleration part of warp.
I think they will modify warp mechanics for slow ships like BS. In a couple of weeks, or in a month.

You may GTFO, highsec carebear pwner and pod killer (534 capsules, 159 industrials, and 221 barges - and this guy thinks much of himself, lol). Catching bs with a bs while there are much more suited ships - it's lame. Obviously you don't roam in low or null in a bs solo. 90-95% of your latest kills for almost half a year - are in highsec. I even suspect that >65% of all your kills in highsec.
Your character was created in 2003, playing 10 years I would've spent the time in much more varied ways than just being a (mostly) carebear hunter, honestly you don't have much to be proud of. No real reason to snoot.

BTW, implementing ISIS in eve-gate would be a nice idea. Switching characters and accounts in evegate is much faster than in-game.
