I play this game from 2005., I was never more impressed with some patch than with this one. Keep it up, CCP, you have done great, great job with this patch. Stuf that I like very much: Loot all, DPS counter in fitting, old weapons icons, Federation Navy Comet looks like a combat ship now, I can fit a Myrmidon with 6 rails with 800k SP on this char, and many more things. And the font looks nice when I choose bigger letters. CCP rules!

2 thumbs up to this expansion. I hadn't paid much attention to the patch notes until the expansion hit, but noticed all kinds of great improvements right away. Corp bookmarks are bloody awesome, and by themselves the best change since Apocrypha. Pos setup/takedown no longer makes people want to kill themselves. Engine trails and new warp look wicked, and hybrid changes seem like a great step in the right direction.

Well done CCP!

+1. I dislike the whole auto-jump thing with my piratical hat on, but I like it with my moving stuff a long way hat on.

Unable to appreciate or not... simply can't login... again.

CCP, you are actually running a game, right?

I just hope they can maintain THIS level of improvement (or close to it) over the next couple of expansions too...


Pretty much this. Good Job although some might add it is basically stuff people have been asking from CCP for a long time.

New nebula/starfield

I didn't get a chance to see many, but overall, they look AWESOME compared to the drek we used to have.
We used to have mostly uber-bright backgrounds (where you could barely see the transparent UI buttons at times) with some little pitch-black areas, now it's far more natural. Could still be better, but it's a lot easier on the eyes than what we used to have.
Oh, and DO NOT get me started on the color banding on the OLD backgrounds. Maybe you guys on your wimply undercontrasted no-real-blacks cheapo LCDs couldn't see it, but I sure as hell could. Annoyingly so. Not anymore, not with these new puppies. Not yet anyway..

The color banding is still there though it's not quite as obvious as it used to be. Don't get me wrong though, the new nebulas are a massive improvement over the old. Big smile

overview window is jumping around after i undock...cargo containers in space seem to open up in my ship's cargobay window?!?!??!? fail

but otherwise, graphics are WAY MORE AWESOME, and a lot of great features

strip miner sounds are so fuckin annoying tho lolololol
why do they "reset" like every 1/8th of a cycle or ... seemingly random times? i could put up with the sounds if they only "reset" at the start of each new cycle...come on, that's not even realistic

this patch was pure win.

other small stuff:

ship spin counter (shows after 10 spins)!

viewing ppl in full body mode and see antigravity bra effect on female chars.

Sizzle but no steak. Buffs to ccp rmt friends at the expense of everyone else.

Game is still broken. Even more so with some of these changes and some of these changes show ccp's attitude is broken. I still am more interested in seeing summer plans and if ccp really "gets it. "

I got it up to 2k, then wondered what the heck is wrong with me.

Anyhow, at 1k and 2k the counter kinda glows blue and pulsates for a second.

You missed something else. You can reorder your locked targets by dragging them. I've been waiting for that for years.

Broadcasts show in the watch list window and you can hover over the broadcast icon to get the full text of the broadcast.

Yup, no more shooting the logi when your selected target dies right when you activate your guns and the logi ends up being the next target in the list Lol

One of the things I love the most, is the ability to disable blinking notifications on the menu bar, not I can have the bar autohide on, and not be hassled with the damn bar constantly showing up when something got highlight!!!

Neat! Thanks for the tip, I've hated the bar appearing because of some stupid mails or whatnots.

Best patch for a very long time. Been out of the game for 6 months as I just utterly lost interest, all these little things make an epic difference.

Good job CCP, more of the same please.

Agreed, Akita. It's a pretty cool expansion this time.

Did they announce when the blueprints for fuel blocks would be seeded? I wanted to kinda get going on that and was surprised they weren't there yet.

The reskin job they did on the Crane looks fantastic!

I logged in after patching and my POS was screaming for fuel, so I had to go ice mining for a while, but even that was really cool given all the new toys to see and play with: new warp tunnel is completely cool, new nebulas are stunning too!
