I'm not opposed to asymmetrical designs, but the CONCORD Cruiser and Frigate looked like they were made just for the purpose of looking ridiculous. I'm not sure why designs that look impossible to believe are somehow "more creative" and "more authentic".

The design is terrible.
Again a blue color like Mordu's Legion and Upwell.

The design does not fit, it's too simple. Homeworld

It was already, it's too monotonous.
Wing up, wing to the right, wing to left.

I do not know what is there to admire the. Sad

"Aerospace" - The name that does not fit into the CONCORD organization.
CONCORD has subdivisions:

CAD - Commerce Assessment Department (CAD) oversees interstellar trade agreements and regulations.
DED - Directive Enforcement Department (DED) is the police enforcement arm of CONCORD. DED has the responsibility of tracking down known criminals and attacking criminal facilities. They frequently operate outside empire space, wanting criminals to understand that there is nowhere safe from the long arm of the law.
SCC - Secure Commerce Commission (SCC) is responsible for regulating and monitoring all trade transactions that take place on space stations. It acts under strict codes of neutrality. These codes ensure the SCC keeps all dealings secure and secret, so there is no chance for government interference.

I do not understand CCP

"We are a shadow of the former greatness of the Empire"

Question.
Why do ships have wings ? A maneuvering thrusters is not ? Why wings in space ? Roll

Wings on a spaceship actually make a fair amount of sense. They just don't work the same way, they're a relatively long and low-mass way to put a maneuvering thruster far from the center of mass of the hull, which lets you turn the main body and thus the main thrusters more effectively.

Also it's possible that a Concord hull may actually be designed with a certain amount of atmospheric flight in mind, since they're a police force and may be expected to pursue ships into a planet's atmosphere.

Since it is now clear that gimmick mechanics are here to stay.... are NPC standings going to start boosting faction ships next year or the year after?

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

Generaly I feel the resist are a bit low for T2 resist. But fine omni resists is pretty nice trade off

PACIFIER: using it with a probe launcher and cloak cripples the dps to much. Needs to have another high slot or have 2 hard points with a bigger damage bonus.

ENFORCER: The damage is like a stabber without a drone bay and stabber is alteast a big frigate. You end up being a half assed love child of arazu and rapier. But both those ships are faster, have better e-war bonuses and more damage with the dronebays. its really hard to utilze all the e-war bonuses on the ship, you are forced into armor tanking and the speed and damage of this ship suffer even more from that. its so generalist that maybe this is what T3 should have been

MARSHAL: Looks fine, being a battleship doesn’t suffer as much from the low speed the ship line has, the plenty of slots and fitting really starts working now. You can shield tank it and still use the e-war bonuses etc. damage is still a bit shy but the environment you are going to use it in and e-war makes up for that by now. Battleship without a drone bay is pretty unique at least :)

Would it really hurt them to have a CPU reduction for expanded probe launchers? I feel like finding people wherever they are is something concord ships are good at. It would fit the flavor.

Can you make bonus only apply when the ship is in high/low/null/wormhole space respectively?

For example: "Very powerful ships when they are being used in high/low sec" sounds quite Concordy.

This is the best part. I hope I don't have to wait a decade for this...

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

If you think about it, it makes sense. Without that restriction, the ship could theoretically be quite useful to law-breakers.

However, with what I assume is going to be explained as a black-box function CONCORD put into those to keep them out of unlawful hands, the ships can only be used in most cases for ratting or hunting down criminals.

Rattati Senpai noticed us! See you in the next FPS!

Bonus like that are already problematic IMO. At what point do you balance the relative power of the unit? It's maximum potential? Then it underpowered if you don't min-max your sec staus. Balanced by minimal potential? Then it's broken when in the hand of someone who does min-max it.

This bonus is tailor made for ships that we're perfectly fine with balancing to be slightly underpowered but very cool and thematically resonant. Since these are promo ships and not part of the ordinary ship rotation that sort of balance fits well.

Matthias Ancaladron Imperial Shipment Amarr Empire Likes received: 483	#92 - 2017-04-05 03:27:15 UTC I don't particularly like the new design but I hate the old design. Color is odd. Shape is kinda cheesy. It's a big T that's all. But it's "less bad" than the old one? They should really go back to the drawing board. Hope this means the soct will get redesigned too cause they're the worst offenders for just being ugly ships.

You have to pay thousands of dollars to go to Iceland lol no thankyou. If they're not obtainable by everyone through the game then I have no interest in them at all.

so assuming this isn't an april fools troll post, then what is the jump range of the battleship?

If it gets a 75% reduction and can fit the portal gen, then it must have a jump drive... so what is its base range?

A black ops without a jump drive would be really weird lol, except if you can covops it but hey...

Pretty crappy mechanic. Unless you enjoy getting punished for using your ship, will be restricted to null sec.

Doesn't matter to me if they add the negative bonus that goes with it on pirate hulls

100% boost/repair bonus, wow.

I asked so because I am not sure where does the "ceiling" exactly comes from: Is it comes from the 5.0 maximum sec status for most players? Or this is a fixed 50% bonus to players who are at 5.0 or above?

After all, eve is a game full of "ancient wonders" or "a-decade-ago mess", just to make sure nothing goes out of control.

I assume you mean its slightly underpowered even when min-maxed? Your response isn't very precise/clear in how it addresses his comment. If you came here to get initial balancing feedback, being clear about the general boundaries is probably a good idea, no? For example are you insinuating that the tanking power of these cyno lighting tackle boats should be underpowered even at max NPC standings?

Also, you see that the second sentence begins to ring hollow given that you already are talking about expanding the range of ships which get this mechanic (and only a couple days in)?

i wish to ask ccp for adding to cruiser probe scanging bonus 10%/lvl, or maybe to BS to

becouse you some how manage to do from concord ships, covert ops ships, and since odyssay expansion there is limit to only one ship with limit to only one weapon system, dornes, with scaning bonus that can do hi sec combat explorations sites wich is stratos, witch is not entartaining with that big limits, there is genos but it can not acces large number of sites, and is much slower, and t3 desis have not much dps and tank, also buff damage at least 10% or 15% per level, staratos have damage bonus, tank bonus, scaning bonus, cover cloak, and can get even 800dps so i think it is ok. and probe scan bonus in not big deal i think in age of alts and multiple accounts
and you can drop at least one or two secends on aligh time on max skills

also consider change tracking bonus for hybrid to range bonus, players wich use hybrids may be little upset becouse of this, all other get range bonus

it is possible that frigate get 10% per lvl web range bonus? and maybe 7,5% damage? bulzard and helios still will be better probers, becouse one more med slot and astero still be equal or better becosue have full dps power option becouse drones don't need hi slots to get damage, with fited cloak and proble launcher, wich that frigat can't do

also i think this rep boost bonus from security status is not very good, people wich are pirates may be upset that they can't use this ships with all potential, becouse ss, is very wierd at least for me, that ss have impact for efficency of ship specs, and it is not fair to limit of using ships by these
