Player Features and Ideas Discussion

What's a CCP Rise

The Orthrus has a warp speed of 27 AU/s?? That's awesome, with a cloaky alt to get a warp-in you won't even see it on d-scan before it lands.

So I guess the deal here is to get a hold of the Garmur as quickly as possible then get as much use as possible out of it before the nerfbat comes down on it so hard it gets demoted to Punisher/Cruor tier?

I think it is a type of poker hand.

He didn't need any help. It's only a "discussion" of features and ideas when you actually take the time to interact or respond in your own official thread... Most of us work full-time (and then some), and still manage to find time in our busy lives to not only play EVE - but participate in these forums, as well. It reminds me of that Despair Inc. adage: "Maybe if we start ignoring the customer they'll leave us alone..."

6 days to Kronos - it's almost a certainty nothing will be changing at this point. So lacking in some areas or not, what's been up on SiSi for the past week is almost certainly what's going to be delivered next week.

Oh gosh you guys.

We are going to TQ with things set like this. I can see your posts that DPS for the Barghest is a concern but we are pretty sure that because of the other advantages it offers (which are numerous) that it will do quite well. We'll watch what happens after release and make changes if needed.

For those of you still here on page 70 feeling frustrated with the amount of interaction from us, I would say a few things:

• My(our) interaction will always slow down over the life of a feedback thread. This is partly because we have to shift focus to other work and partly because most good arguments for changes appear in early stages of the thread (for example in this thread, Barghest DPS was raised as a concern throughout and we discussed that feedback and decided not to make a change very early on). Once an idea has been acknowledged and acted on (or not acted on) we are very unlikely to continue posting about it.
• Just because we aren't responding does not mean we aren't reading. The CSM raised the idea of officially closing off feedback threads when we move to later stages but we really don't want to do back because it can be the case that new information comes up or new ideas are raised later on and we would hate to miss the opportunity to see those things. So while the frequency that we are able to check and respond may go down, the value of having a feedback thread does not.
• Finally, while I really like talking with you guys and want you to understand our decisions and designs as much as possible, the primary purpose of feedback threads is for us to gather information. As much as I wish I could spend time talking through every issue you raise, sometimes just knowing you have that issue is enough and we take that information and make the best we can of it, which may not include a post to you.

We find these thread invaluable and I hope that even when you see our posting slowing down you won't stop giving feedback or feel frustrated by these threads generally.

Thanks for reading and for posting <3

Happy with all these ships.

Frig, Pretty awesome support tackle ship and I would imagine a solo roamer as well, I think however that its base Shield HP should be reduced a bit though, it seems kinda tanky for the role it fills. It should be fit to focus on mitigating damage, not soaking a few hits and bugging off.

Cruiser, Fantastic, probably my new favorite ship right now. The limited CPU makes you choose what you want to do with it which is nice to have since being able to kite/gank/tank would just be silly. Ive been enjoying ripping around with Heavies and a Nano fit, its like the old Nano Drake, but better. Super excited to play with these on Tranquility, already have a nice fleet comp set aside for them and everything, should be a blast. Along the lines of the Garmur though I think the base shield should be lowered slightly to reinforce the idea that you want to mitigate not take damage, and to get more tanky you need to cut elsewhere (weapons), functions brilliantly as an Anti-Tackle support ship when fit with rapid lights as well.

BS, I didn't play this one very much, mostly because I do not like Battleships in the first place. From what I did notice however is that this thing can be a kiting beast. Almost like a Nano Drake, but on roids. Its damage projection is somewhat suspect, but against other targets of like size (shield BC/other BS) it fares alright and its speed allows it to mitigate more damage than you would think. Paired with the new Ashimmu and its web range is pretty awesome, pretty much negates the chance for tackle to get on you while you blap the bigger stuff from further away. It very much plays like a support battleship that has solid damage against like hull sizes. I think the Warp Disruption bonus is absolutely brilliant on this thing and the fact you can armor tank it or shield tank it makes it very versatile in multiple fleet types.

All in all great design. I would shave some shield HP from the Frig and Cruiser though, they seem kind of bulky for the amount of damage they are capable of mitigating.

Appreciate this. What I would love to work towards is people 'knowing we're there' even if we aren't posting daily. I see what you mean though and will try to shoot for a middle ground.

Awesome..

I mean just a "Hey Guys, we're still reading your feedback.." once a week would help a lot.. No responses, no idea if your feedback is being even looked at lol. Don't need to to be daily.. even I agree that would be much :)

Plus when we all talk together we end up with good things, like the warp speed bonus to the Angel line, or the epicness that is the Freighter Changes :)

Anyway thanks for commenting :) I'll stop harping on you.. well for a little while :p

Having limited CPU on a shield based missile ship is just a bad idea. The previous fitting required 3x cpu mods/rigs to be usable. Sacrificing a decent amount of slots for such a low tank is just not worth it, especially for an expensive pirate cruiser.

Problems not taken into account with the cruiser:
Shield based missile cruisers are already strapped for cpu. I don't know what his skills were, but if you've got to use 3x CPU mods just to get to a total of 512tf then something is wrong.
Shield modules are CPU intensive, missile modules are CPU intensive.

Don't get me wrong scram range bonus, power grid, and missile velocity bonus are well deserved, but even compared to other missile shield cruisers, you shouldn't have to fit more than 1 or at MAX two identical fitting mods. In addition, a high slot isnt even being used.

The fit that was posted: as you can see, there is nothing crazy special about this fit. I'm sure a few tf can be saved by using a meta 4 point, invul, and dc. But really..........

Mordu cruiser

You didn't really read the entire thread did you? I'm quite sure that will leave you severely damaged..
