Does that mean that Proteus comes with GFX card vouchers to be used when these dust effects melt loads of GFX cards?

Thank you for this devblog!

It keeps motivated!


The feature page of Proteus is epic!
Animation! :D

I love it!


And it raises a question, too!


Why not have said animation in the launcher/background character selection ...
... and instead have the feature page sport ... the same? :O


That's assuming you can make more of these ...
... but CCP did that for over 10 years, so .......

:)

Hmm,

I guess I am in the minority on the Exequor hull change. I actually love that some of the Gallente hulls are not symmetrical. Made them unique.

Honestly the new hulls looks like you took the basic Talos shape and rounded some parts to keep the older exequor feel. Seems far more generic.

Re: Module Tiericide

I'm hoping that this round will remember to include T1 modules - addressing their relative uselessness (except as a component to build the T2 versions), due to (a) weaker stats across the board compared to metas, and (b) typically higher cost as compared to low, and sometimes even high, metas.

Metas for most modules are simply too plentiful, due to high NPC drop rates, and too cheap, since the lower bound on their value is usually determined by the reprocessing value (which dropped by 50% during the reprocessing changes and made things even worse). The build cost of T1 modules typically exceeds the reprocessing value of metas - thus the T1 price is usually higher, as a result.

Because of this, there is no reason to use, or build, most T1 modules.

Module Tieiricde is the right time and place to fix this problem, and make T1 modules and T1 module manufacturing (aka noob manufacturing) a part of the game again.

Note 1: MAPCs are a good example of how to do it right, although the T1 build cost could be lowered somewhat, relative to the T2 build cost. Metas should always be rare, and thus more expensive - used only when a tight fit or extra oomph justifies the higher cost.

Note 2: Cargo Scanners a good example of how to do it WRONG. Enduring Cargo Scanners are always better than T1 versions, and usually cheaper, due to abundant (over)supply. There isn't any reason to use the T1 version.

CCP <3! Thank you for linking Zest to the Exequror, a great honor!
The changes look very nice. I might just have to make another video to celebrate the new Exeq at some point :-)

The current design does have its asymmetrical charm that I will miss.
It has that SC2 Spathi magic to it...

I would like to reiterate what I've said previously about module tiericide. I hope this reaches the right people, as I feel very strongly about this.

With regards to Module Tiericide, T2 modules NOT be the baseline for rebalancing modules and ships.

T2 modules are currently OP, too easy to fit, and too cheap. Only rarely will you see anyone post a ship fit which doesn't fit T2-only; and I don't think I've seen a T1-only fit in years, outside of RvB.

In my opinion, T2 modules should be more powerful than T1 or metas, but should also have drawbacks, which make it impossible or problematic to fit T2-only to ships. A ship with T2 bonuses to weapons should see some disadvantage in tank or speed; a ship with T2 bonuses to tank should see some disadvantage in firepower; et cetera.

And, fitting T2-only should be much more difficult, or even impossible, for the majority of ships. After ship tiericide, fitting T2-only became quite easy for most ships, even without implants or maxed skills.

This seems to be a very neat package.

Though give some love to the Economy related Enablers please, the Contracts Update Feedback thread tells a lot about committed people who want to have some love, so does the MD little things thread.

Now that the first round of module tiericide has been out for a while, are we going to see any metrics (usage statistics, market figures, that sort of thing) on whether it's been a success from CCP's perspective?
