If old trial names are still around, does that mean the character is? I have a 6 year old trial character that was never converted. Can I get him back?



yes the account is still there, if you hurry you can activate it before the name is wiped. Otherwise you can make a new char with the old name.

Trails stay to be activated, I did this with one of mine about a year ago, but let it expire as I had no use for a 4th account.. but that might be changing...

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

You're asking for torches and pitch forks with statements like that.


common sense seems too have that effect Shocked

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

The most important thing that should happen in the next expansion is an increase in bounty for the infamous criminal 'Zor' who keeps kidnapping that poor damsel. 500k? Puhlease.

Thank you CCP for the Amarr Tech 3 Tactical Destroyer, it's the concept art choice D, the one i liked from the beginning. Big smile

Your effective personal standings need to be higher to see the player's signature.

so long as they don't have ridiculous tank like T3 cruisers(T2 resists and high HP) have they could be good ships

Rhea will be a good without one exception. The removing of the clone Insurance.

From my view CCP is removing with that one of the unique features of the game. Till Rhea it was possible to loose everything without 900k SP. After Rhea Eve will get a tiny step more into the direction of Theme Park Online.

With regards to the new pirate faction jackets: Why does every pirate faction have the same design? It does not make any sense that the religiously fanatic Blood Raiders use the same design as the militaristic Guristas or the neurosciencistic lunatics of the Sansha Nation. They need to have different designs!

Also: Fix the UI as suggested in the feedback thread. It is horrible and barely usable at the moment.

With regards to WASD, will there be camera options to have the camera swing into place following the ship's motion so you can see where you're going?

This is a pretty poor way of looking at it. Clone grades do not add any nuance to the game — they just add more busywork that you are punished for (in a uniquely unusual way!) if you fail to perform the busywork. The amount of money clone grades removed was never meaningful and I doubt anyone will really notice.

Taking things that perform their intended purposes poorly and eliminating or revamping them is hardly an indictment of Theme Park Online transformation.

Clone grade removal is on the same platform as the removal of learning skills, and (hopefully) the removal of learning implants.

Hate to point this out...but InterBus isn't a Gallente company. It's a completely separate faction; it'd be like saying that you're coming out with an EoM edition raven or something. Why choose something as off as that when you've got such a huge group of gallente NPC corps to pick from?

the jackets are a bit bland and too samey

Eh, it's not that out of line. Heck — gallente NPC corps sell moros blueprints on the open market. Who's to say that Interbus can't pick up one of those and start cranking them out for profit, using a swank paint job as a value-add?

the new Falcon/Rook/Blackbird models have something to them, they look very much like Ewar ships. What I especially like is the fact that they have distinguishing features on the model. Can we have this for the other T2 variants of T1 hulls, too? Like the Condor/Crow/Raptor, or Crucifier/Sentinel, and basically all the following updated models?

IIRC the Onyx and the Eagle both lack drone bays, but their model shows a drone bay. Can these be removed?

Agreed. Instead, the Moros should be Quafe. Everyone loves Quafe.

What's wrong with the Eagle and Onyx? Haven't flown an Onyx yet, but the Eagle is pretty amazing. The range of the medium rails is absolutely outstanding and I rather have that than more damage. For sniping and long range engagements, the Eagle is a very capable ship comparable to something like Cerberus, Muninn and Ishtar. It's certainly not something for small engagements where you don't have the numbers for sufficient DPS, but if fills a very nice niche role and has its unique usage scenarios.
