Hey everyone. We announced this new rig at EVE Vegas but I haven't made an official feedback thread yet, so here it is.

Short version is: we're adding a rig that slows you down quite a lot, doubles your mass and improves your agility a bit. It will also decrease warp speed as a drawback that can be reduced through the Astronautics Rigging skill.

We expect that this will have a few somewhat niche uses right away for miners and residents of wormholes (especially lower-class holes) and that players can come up with more creative ways to use it over time.

The rig will exist in all size variations, T1 only for now. It will have similar build costs to other T1 astronautics rigs. It will fall within the Astronautics Rigging section and use that skill.

It will be limited to one fitted per ship.

Stats are:
25 Calibration
+100% Mass
-55% Inertia
-75% Max Velocity

Drawback of -10% Warp Speed (reduced by the Astronautics Rigging skill).

First, 'all sizes, does include capital, yes?

Second, do you plan to potentially introduce a t2 variant in the future?

I cant see the use on this for many ships, but I could really see this being useful for my rorqual for getting in/out of asteroid belts in tighter gaps, and being less prone to bumps by bad miners warping in/out.

I am truly curious though, are there some ship names that came up that this would be particularly useful on? Considering that with so many ships as is, the rigs are such a highly important and valuable aspect, that being harder to bump or carrying more mass would be of little benefit, except for.... ah. wormhole collapsing. c5/c6, FRESH wormhole; cheetah in, higgs dread in, warp higgs dread to 200km off gate with cheetah, higgs back to wormhole, cheetah out, higgs out...

Iteresting concept, not sure what I think of these at the moment.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

So, this is now mandatory on all bridging Titans, right? Big smile

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Does the effect stack against inertia stabs or nanos?

These + hyperspacial and or ascendancy on capitals...mmm

I dont know that math too, but 55% may be a bit much.

Also what's the net effect on agility? I'm not to verses on the math.

I will return when you have them seeded on the Test server.

As the industrial, meta version of myself, I also need to know if you plan to make T2, ever and if you do will the parts remain the same or will you pull a switch out like you did with Liquid Cooled Electronics?

T1 LCE
Damaged ANN
Charred Micro circuit
Conductive Polymer

T2 LCE
ANN
Power Circuit (10x the cost of Micro Circuits)
Conductive Thermoplastic

With the way that mass affects ship agility,EDIT: It should be what, a 10% agility buff or so?

Astronautic rigs cause a decrease in armor HP, CCP, not warp speed.

Wait, this is coming in Phoebe? I thought this was for Rhea.

Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer and Warp Core Optimizer rigs decrease ship CPU capacity.

There's nothing that says that all rigs in a class have to have the same drawback. For example, under armor rigs, Transverse Bulkheads have the drawback of reducing cargo capacity, and the Auxiliary Nano Pump and Nanobot Accelerator rigs were changed to increase powergrid need of armor repair modules. All of the other armor rigs decrease max velocity.

Yes. 0.45*2 = 0.9. 1/0.9 = 0.111... so yeah, this will have the effect of increasing agility by about 11%


(Smart) miners will particularly enjoy the -75% velocity, as it'll allow them to stay fully aligned while mining for much longer before getting out of range.

I'm ok with this. Bumping will continue.

You should fix the jump changes by the way, the blops nerf is still death to them even with 50% modifier.

For miner? Are you Sure ? You must be kidding.

No, he's not. Not more than two posts above you I explained why. Maybe you should read.

Is the limit on one per ship necessary? Could the bonuses be roughly divided to allow three to be fitted with improvements over the current stats (say, 150% mass increase)? Arbitrary restrictions like 'limit of 1 per ship' make my brain itch Big smile A pity freighters can't use these too because bumping 'mechanics' are ridiculous and archaic.

Ships in EVE have this really wacky sci-fi ability called antigravity which can alter inertia independently of mass. The inertia modifier of a ship is basically a multiplier that expresses how much of a ship's mass still resists acceleration in response to a force. That's the attribute which he's expressing simply as inertia.
