Is that PBR effect a new dx11 feature?

Rhea, the latest EVE Online release, will be published on December 9th to expand and improve the New Eden.

New wormhole systems (including the gigantic system "Thera" with four NPC stations), beautiful new ship graphics and redesigned ships, manual flight control (beta), removal of skill-loss when podkilled, the first of the new Tech-3 destroyers, a new UI look, a new starmap and and a lot more is waiting for you!

Check out CCP Seagull's overview blog Coming to EVE Online in the Rhea release on December 9th!



All these seem pretty amazing, I am looking really forward to it, But the problem I have with WASD they seem so raw and a nuisance to control in EVEN Racing Games.

All Space Games, No matter how old or new, Or rubbish or good they are, Have Mouse-Flight... Think about it, It would be easier to gently steer your ship with your Mouse.

I understand this is Beta but please make Mouse Flight an option, WASD are just sooo... Not Immersive.

( Just Press a Shortcut to Toggle Mouse Flight, And press again to turn Mouse Flight off )

Excuse the outburst. I think the new Blackbird and its variants are very handsome.


Did you see the eagle and onyx variants too?

Now that there is no skillpoint loss and clone upgrade requirements, I think rats should target and destroy pods. Here's what I'm thinking:


High Sec, Low Sec, Null Sec - regular system rats, missions level 1 - 3

Rats are less aggressive to pods, and in most missions and complexes might leave you alone if you're just in your pod.

Mission level 4+, drones & sleepers:

Much more aggressive to your pod but it takes a while, perhaps after 5 minutes they'll warn you, then open fire after 10 minutes or so. This way you can scout a bit, and even evade them unless they scram and web your pod. Perhaps these missions they try to kill you but won't scram or web your pod.

Burner missions & Sansha:

Will scram and web you, and pop your pod because they're dicks like that.

CONCORD:

Depending on your sec status, CONCORD should be huge dicks.


The benefits of allowing NPC to pod you allows new players to get into the habit of dying quickly and provides just a bit more realism to the game in my opinion.

removal of skill-loss when podkilled

one thing that really seperates eve from other games is that you actuelly get some punishment when you do somthing stupid,like dying without a proper clone why do you want to change that?

CCP... Your new lighting is spectacular. It makes every ship look practically new. I love that black is actually black now and that Amarr ships are shiny now.

Best graphics/art change in the whole patch.

ack nope. forgot to look. can't imagine you can go wrong with ishukone or kaalakiota. I'm sure it's beautiful.

oh holy hell they took the pontoons and did something glorious.

kinda disagree with the patchy red/black scheme, versus the expected double stripes, but I still love it.

CCP, any chance we could add speed and manual controls to ship previews



the new ship looks are fantastic. you've been busy... I can't believe you kept this a secret for so long. It looks great, even with conservative graphics settings.

I've spent over a minute watching the PBR animated GIF.

Then I've looked at the pirate apparel (yarrr!) and scrolled back up to watch the PBR animated GIF a bit longer.

Wow. I am not a "visual" person and I rarely are impressed by pretty pictures. But that GIF... Oh sweet Jesus.Shocked

Still waiting for that mythical ice mining frigate I guess.....although the fact that the new frig holes will have a chance to spawn ice leaves me hopeful Big smile

As for the rest, I'm loving what's coming, especially the graphic updates, new wormholes, and the start of the T3 dessies (MUST KNOW SKILL REQUIREMENTS NOAWWW!!!!)

Cant belive your ruining the blackbird, its the coolest looking ship in the game.

No clone grades and no skill point loss on pod death

Clone grades, clone upgrade cost and skill point loss when podded (except when losing a Strategic Cruiser) will be removed in Rhea.


I really hope you will reconsider this decision.

Actual losses and the constant threat of Uncle Darwin is what set EVE apart from all the other mmos out there. I would also like to point out that your logic is a bit flawed in discussing this matter. For the old bittervets it is not the microscopic cost of the clone that prevent some of them to fly interceptors in combat, it is the 2.5b ISK pirate implants. Personally I am about to hit the 92m SP mark and my clone will only cost 10m, this is peanuts you understand? I can make 10m in about 5 minutes or less.

I can understand your reasoning when it comes to new players who are unfamiliar with the system but this could be easily rectified by some sort of warning box. For the first 1 month or so of a character's life a big box appears if the character tries to undock with an insufficient clone. After that you have no one to blame but yourself if you manage to loose a few SP.

Love the new clothing for the pirate factions. Awesome

Can we have some new tribal/cyber punk stuff for us Minmatar who don't like being smart?

A recovering btter vet,  with a fresh toon and a determination to like everything that CCP does to Eve...

Don't take me too seriously though, I like to tease a bit on the forums, but that's only because I love you...

seeing dreads in skins, I guess it's the closest thing to variants we'll get, and a safe choice. no balance issues, etc.

To bad you can't apply skins to existing ships that are already assembled
