I expect kaalakiota ships to be actually black this time.

Dem coats, I've been waiting for those for years! CCP, please, make ones without logos (and a SOE one), I'mm going to throw my money at nex so hard...

i would love too know when recons and T3 cruisers are getting there turn for being fixed.. fozzie?????

Show me the Talos that can reach 177 km range, both locking and weapon range, with at least some resemblance of tank. The Eagle is not meant for brawling, that's why it has a range bonus and not a tracking bonus. If you want to brawl with blasters, you have to use the Deimos.
The Ishtar on the other hand is bound to its drones, you can't fly too far away from the enemy or you can't activate the drones on them anymore. And you constantly need to keep the range of the drones from the enemy in consideration as well. And drones die, which leaves the Ishtar very quickly without anything to fire. The tracking is also lackluster after the last round of nerfs to the Ishtar, whereas enemies always have to follow your Eagle around -- you can fly straight away from them, and have absolutely no problems with tracking.

That's the point of the Onyx, of all Hictors to be quite frank. They are not meant for damage or something, they are meant to be tackle for big ships and mobile (the real mobile) bubbles. There should not be another use for them. Sure, a bit more DPS is fine, in order to not have a "worthless" ship in your fleet ... but that is the completely wrong and warped perception of the players, who only want more DPS and don't see the point of different roles in fleets.
Why is it silly that you can't be repped with the focus point active? If the remote repair was possible with the point on, there would be absolutely no way of killing these ships with your cap, making the Hictors highly imbalanced.
Why should Science V be removed? You activate a highly sophisticated module that uses various scientific effects. A basic understanding of these is mandatory to be able to use these effects properly and to know what you are doing. It's not something like the current drone problematic in RL where you should expect that people use more common sense when they use these drones. The bubble generator is something a tad bit more complicated and totally warrants the training of Science V and Graviton Physics.

i think you failed too understand how powerful ishtars are.. how much did you read the HAC thread??
sniping at 180km .. talos and naga mind can do that just fine .. and who fits tank too snipers fighting at that range anyway??

Eagle and onyx are both niche ships .. they perform one role only well.. neither of which suit HS gate fights .. where as my ishtar can perform either role at just fine..

I don't need to read the thread, I fly Ishtars almost every day in a variety of scenarios. Then you are solo-sniping with hit and run, that's something different from fleet sniping or fleet longer range fights. An Ishtar would need 4-5 drone link augmenters to reach 180 km, or range augmenting rigs, which either use immense amounts of CPU or reduce the CPU severely, effectively limiting the Ishtars fitting in other aspects. The Eagle has none of these problems. The Ishtar certainly can't perform the role of the Onyx, that's completely impossible.

Yep, and the niche is perfectly fine. They don't need to perform well in High sec gate camps, other ships excel in that category already. They don't need to serve your purpose as long as they already have a properly used purpose.
Also, as far as I know, Hictors could use their point on caps in High sec and prevent them from jumping for a while just recently. Was a bug.

Hrm, might this actually be the LODs you're seeing? CCP within the last year or so introduced Level Of Detail based rendering to ships, that make them take less polygons to render the further away they are from the camera. Try zooming in on the ship and see if the antennae reappear.

(I don't know if this is actually the case or not, but it might be!)

Well, too bad for you that there's no other corp in the Gallente Federation with somewhat iconic colors. We in the Amarr Empire, on the other hand, have a wide and stunning range of possible color patterns.

I want my Tash-Murkon Family Revelation.

And Caldari


But not all Gallente NPC corps have colors assigned to them.

Great features. And since EVE is now copying functions from its 3 MMO spaceship competitors - how long to wait till WiS expansion?

(all 3 competing games have WiS and it's substantial part of their gameplay)
