"Lux" sounds cooler than "Leukos"


Think you meant Fos or Selas.

Leukos is like...white.


You're right. "Fos" would be the better greek term to use ("selas" I'm not familiar with). I was going off of etymology. Both "lux" and "leukos" are both based on the PIE term "lewk" and each took a different definition from the original.

This is nice and all, but there needs to be 3 types of ships added into EVE:

Delphinus (Skies of Arcadia): http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view7/2566621/moonstone-cannon-o.gif
Arcadia (Harlock Saga): https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2223/2040336457_ac3c5b22fd.jpg
Yamato (Uchu Senkan Yamato/Space Battleship Yamato): https://galacticpillow.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/space-battleship-yamato-2010.jpg

2 of the three have doomsday like weapons, the 3rd (Arcadia) has either a Ram/Blade or Dark Matter energy burst (2013 movie)

This is so off topic its not even funny. That being said, I'm a huge fan of Reiji Matsumoto's work.

That structure looks like a Jove POS.

Keep hoping. The Amarr did after all invade and attack the Jove (and subsequently got their butts kicked by the Jove at Vak'Atioth). Ah well, I'm sure all's forgiven after all this time. Blink

Attacked the Drifter BS with an armor Cruiser, AB active. Brought his blue shields down, got my lock on it removed. After locking again, the white shields were at 100%. Shot that down and armor/structure just melted within seconds.
Damage on me never dropped below 50% (I think), and he obviously had some trouble hittng me with his yet invisible turrets.

Incoming Missile Damage is missing from the log. I'm currently running the German language client which has a formatting issue for missile log entries. The incoming damage actually is correct. Turrets hit me 13 and missed 125 times, Missiles (Praedormitan, pretty weird for a BS) hit 46 times.

So is the weapon actually functioning on Sisi? Don't think I've seen it on any of the screen grabs I've seen.

They also might blame that whole Sansha thing on the Amarr as well.

So it's a battleship hull (plenty of space, nice power grid), but the weapons are detached (thus not hooked into the nice power grid), but they're not drones (because reasons)?

It's like, a tank without a main gun, pulling a howitzer behind it so it can shoot. Bunch of soldiers come out of the tank, set up the howitzer, aim it, then go back in the tank, and the commander pushes the remote control fire button to shoot the howitzer.

It's stupid.

Maybe the standalone weapons combine into a superweapon, but then, why have a superweapon that's external and smaller than what the hull of the ship can accommodate, and why split it into a bunch of useless smaller turrets instead of keeping it together and firing all the time?

First thing we'll do as EVE players is try to bump the ship away from its turrets. The very concept is silly.

Comparing (my) Screenshot with the video of Sarmatiko's EVE Probe Scene makes me assume that Sisi Drifters are yet missing their Lux Kontos.

I remember being SO PISSED when I saw that. Kane was like the coolest villain back in those days, long before Vas or Hansom Jack. No matter what the GDI did, they could never freakin kill the guy.
