Maybe, maybe not. Did you check the specs on the updated destroyers?

I particularly like the "new" Catalyst, since it benefits from both the destroyer buff and the hybrid gun buff (as well as the Gallente speed buff, but that's rather irrelevant for ganking purposes). No ROF penalty, 5% damage buff to blasters, and easier to fit the full rack of 8 guns? Ouch!

And, a dessie is so darn cheap... who really cares about the insurance?

I know it would be rather in-depth, and I haven't seen it mentioned in this release... But as for an idea...

Would it be possible to include FailRate?
What I mean by that, is once you have a skill fully trained, it would work no differently then it does now. As of now, you cannot use an item until you have trained that skill and all pre-req's, and once you have trained the skill you can use it and you do not have to worry about losing contact with your drones (unless you warp off without them) or a weapon jamming or shield failing...

But what if you changed it to where if you are training that last primary skill, say Heavy Missile V, so you can use a Tech II launcher, and that is the last skill you would need to train to actually use that item. If you could use it WHILE it was training, but have a Fail Rate. XX % chance it jams, XX % chance it breaks and can only be reprossessed, XX % chance it blows up in use causing damage to your ship.
Lose contact with your drone, or your drone attacts the wrong target because you don't have the skill to operate it @ 100%.
Shields could fail, Overheat, or a vast variety of other "Oh **** not now" senarios that would add a huge element of "trial by fire" so to speak...

It would be something to sit in that shiney ship while you are training the last book, and random systems start to lose power, or warp drive goes out for XX time...

Of course not everyone would want to take the risk, and as such they could wait till that skill is fully trained, but I myself would like the opportunity to place myself in danger at my own risk. Currently, the only way to do that is to go into a mission I know I'm too small for.

Just an Idea and about a year of programming.... lol

Thanks :)

"Launching a warp disrupt probe will give you aggression and prevent you from docking or jumping"

Allthough this closes a loophole in the existing agression mechanics, and players will undoubtly adapt to this change (no more double bubble dictors bubling both sides of a gate), it also present one particular problem:

Dropping bubbles at a distance from gates has been a tried and tested way for a small force to evade and spilt up a larger pursuing force, thus enabling it to "nibble off" the unsuspecting tacklers getting too cocky while the main force is slowburning to the gate.

Removing this ability will negatively affect the ability of smaller forces to engage a bigger force using cunning and tactics. Personally I would like to see this changed so it will cause agression only if there are other ships actually present in the bubble (except the dictor itself) when it is dropped.

Confirming that I'm strongly considering a Thrasher BPO purchase, for the same (general) reasons. It's already my ultimate utility ship (both combat and otherwise), may as well fire up the Hulk/Covetor for a few minutes every time I need one.

I'm curious to know if the general Dessie changes (extra shield, lower sig, etc) are 'bleeding through' to the Dictors. That could offset the aggression change a little (though not by much, given the stats I've seen for a Sabre).

"Sun light has been increased."

We complain that the sun is too bright, so you Increase it? WTH is wrong with you people? The sun was already extremely annoying.

And here we go... The long downtime... getting shakes already.... \o/

I like pie. Where's the game at?

Did somebody accidentally the Dev Blogs? TUXFORD!!!

Also what happened to the new EVE Launcher from CCP Topknot?

I think, it was not right to give for both new BC (Caldari and Galente) same bonus and type of weapon.
In fact, we received Naga without Caldari role - missile launchers and applicable bonuses for them...
Its not fair, because other races received conventional armaments for them.
