obviously, you don't understand.

CCP doesn't want players to be adventurous. they want players to play in the manner CCP dictates.

hello wall... I didn't see you standing there. Did I hurt cha? Boy, I sure did hit you square. Now one of us is plastered. I'll let you guess just who. Just imagine, bumping into you.

isn't that what a freighter and a POS are for?

freighter carries everything.
pulls up to a moon.
and deploys the POS.
you fuel it.
and drop your assembly array.
build your ships.
and then move on?

RollTo put it bluntly, apparently you did not.

To my great surprise yet again /sarcasm, Some one decided to change the required materials to build a bow head at the last min. So there I sat with to many of the wrong parts, not enough of the ones never listed.

So you are one of the guys to whom i gladly sold maint bays to at 3x the costPirate....because i WAS prepared since i did the research.
The BPO was updated on SiSi on December 2nd. Note, the BPO was updated, not the ships info card. As this wasn't my first patch, i knew to look at the BPO's info. I checked SiSi on a daily basis to look for the change from 'copy of obelisk' to its own list.

I got my pilots out into an ORE station in ceptors, and later discovered the Deep Core seed possibility. Even though, unlike the Orca, the Bowhead has NO mention of any manufacturer other than O.R.E. so i was skeptical. I logged on, it wasn't in Citadel. I JC'd out to the null seed and brought my goods out. Had no trouble building my ships the instant i got the BPO's out.

New Icon SiSi feedback thread that got wholly ignored!

An example of that a good ship icon set looks like.

Assuming at least one of the mids will be reserved for a MWD, and fitting a hull tank, the defences do seem a little bit weak; I think with DC2 and double bulkheads we'd be looking at about 150, 180K EHP?

That's still significantly less than an armour tanked battleship even though it could potentially be carrying 3 of them inside.

I can easily see transporting 3 or 4 billion isk of fitted ships around inside one of these (moving a couple of decent mission ships around could easily reach 3 billion), I think the defences need to reflect that when we live in a world of cheap ganking .

Crazy idea... slightly less hull, more mids, more shield HP, and a 1000% bonus to the effects of overheating and heat damage absorbed. 500,000k EHP for 30 - 40 seconds then your modules are burnt out.

As long as the Bowhead can fit officer defense mods, it's capable of properly hauling ships with officer defense mods. The EHP should stack against the value in the same fashion as on the ships in its hold. Whether that is a safe ratio or not is up to the person fitting officer mods to a ship.

Another way to do it is transfer the ship minus any expensive modules in the Bowhead, then ship the expensive bits separately in an interceptor.

Hey MrRise, how's the Bowhead doing since the introduction back in Rhea. Can we have some numbers, produced, destroyed, etc.

I yet to see them "used" by players, except few brave souls ... Oh wait I just saw one today.

Am interested on this also and fitting would be cool.

They are getting used. But some people are still waiting for the prices to lower
