Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

Hello everyone o/

Many of you have seen our recent news update revealing the celebratory rewards we're sending to subscribers over the next few months.

The original update included this cryptic text:


Today we're ready to begin gathering feedback on this new ship that will be handed out as part of the celebration!

The Sunesis is a new destroyer from the Society of Conscious Thought.
Like its big brother the Gnosis, the Sunesis does not require advanced skill training to fly and gets all its bonuses from fixed role bonuses. It also shares the Gnosis' "jack of all trades" design philosophy, receiving bonuses to all major weapon types and being able to be tanked in any way desired.

Here are the work in progress stats as they stand today. We'll be making tweaks as needed using your feedback and playtesting.

Sunesis
“The Sunesis-class SoCT Destroyer allows any acolyte to protect the investigations and secrets of the society.
Since it has very low skill requirements, any capsuleer can pilot it. It serves well in research and exploration but truly comes into its own in combat, with extremely fast align time.
This is a ship that shows its value when understanding the universe requires a strong hand as well as a sharp mind."

Role Bonus:
25% bonus to Small Energy Turret, Small Hybrid Turret and Small Projectile Turret damage
25% bonus to Light Missile and Rocket damage

To get this new ship for free, be subscribed before 23:59 UTC on September 16th 2016 and maintain an active subscription until the November expansion.

We'll have this ship ready for playtesting on SISI as soon as possible so you folks can try it out there.
Let us know what you think!

4/4/4 - fun for everyone! <3

Also, WTB pics.

I don't need to cancel my current subscription and make a new to get these do I?

What about the drone bay/bandwidth?

I missed adding the drone stats (20/40) in the first version of the OP, all fixed now.

Like its big brother the Gnosis, the Sunesis is a celebration gift given by CCP to our players at certain important points in EVE history.

Nah, it's all good since it is very occasional. And it messed with the Gnosis speculators which was amusing.

Unless CCP introduces more Gnosii on a regular basis, the speculators merely had their investment delayed.
Remember folks, you don't loose anything as long as you don't sell!
And here I am talking like the true trader that I'm not.

I will be interesting to see if the Sunesis or the Gnosis end up being the most used of the two though.

So my question is not about the ship itself, but about the offer. Are PLEXed account eligible to this offer ?

Thank you Fozzie. Could be worth it to clarify this part in the news so people are aware of it :p
