EVE Information Portal

Nice name. Hopefully the game changes live up to that name.

Better yet, how about I simply tell you what game changes would be worthy of the name "Inferno."

Major changes:

1. Technetium moons should be included as a part of r32 alchemy. This would do the most towards ending supercap proliferation. It will take a while for major alliances to go through their stockpiles. I think this would do the most towards burning down the supercap fleets.

2. Alliance taxes need to implemented. With the passive income from tech moons being gone there will have to be a replacement, an active replacement.

These two changes would do the most towards making the "little people" matter. Lets face it, these changes are very obvious and a long time coming.

In addition to these changes I have a pet peeve I would like to bring to attention.

Siege module displays a -50% tracking bonus upon activation, however upon deeper investigation the real tracking bonus turns out to be -92.5%. It also turns out that the explosion velocity has a bonus of -92.5%.

I will check a little bit later, but it seems the siege module still displays an incorrect tracking bonus.

These stats also further demonstrate that the only thing dreads are really useful for is bashing immobile structures. If anything is moving in a direction other than directly toward or away from a dread causes rather significant loses in dps.

If you want dreads to be useful for anything other than bashing structures these stats will need to change.


Also if you ruduced the siege timer down to 5 minutes, why not reduce it further. Dreads truly are sitting ducks sitting on the battelfield, just waiting for a fleet of any significant size to come tackle and inevitably destroy it.

As it currently stands supercaps are far too survivable (squishy hictors) and dreads far too vulnerable as well as too limited in capability.


Sometime down the line I want to see dreads blapping support fleets, not titans.

Nice tease :)


I would just like to re-iterate comments that I have made before:

The new attitude of CCP and even just the manner in which they are responding to the community is a refreshing change. This beast that is EVE is something that has been ingrained in my life for over 6 years. The changes and updates have actually made me look forward to logging in again.

The new dark look and gorgeous graphics are astounding! But better yet is the meaningful and productive exchange of ideas and information that has taken the place of the rants and rebuttals which clouded the forums in 2011.

Keep up the awesome work and I look forward to the blogs as they are released.

I noticed that while updates to Wardecs and FW are mentioned, nothing was said about the iteration to the Sov system. Is there any plans in place to take a look at and/or tweak Sov for Inferno, or is the previously discussed iterations on it going to be so drastic that they require more time to develop? The iterations or concepts I'm most interested in were moving towards a more usage dependent Sov system, smallholding, and small(er) scale Sov warfare usefulness. Any new information that can be shared on these subjects? Or at least an indication of when in the current development timeline they are intended to be looked at?

Guys,

keep in mind that there are paths in eve that you may chose, the Military is just one of them, and most of the NEW players that join eve don't goes to PVP area and end up stopping playing, that is why there are more PVP players then Industrials, you can see this opening you map and checking the SOV development indices.... there are LVL5 millitary everywhere but almost no industry...

Althoug the playerbase is PVP oriented, because most of the industrials already quieted playing, so there must be this update to keep the old players, and only then there will be an industrial update to get these players back ...

There are many problems that MUST be solved to keep eve growing, for example the Dronelands (that kills the Minning job) , The AFK cloaking and clock bots issue, and much more. But CCP are doing its job, and in the last CSM meeting most of the solutions fore this problems was proposed, like changing the drop from drones and placing them bounty and adding a cloack hunter ship to the game, these are the steps that CCP are taking, and it WILL change EVE economy allot, There is no need to change the car engine if you only need to put the right fuel...

Inferno will probably keep the game heated for a long time, enough time for ccp make the DUST LINK, improve the Avatar Part and fix and inprove the industry! And then Add new Features.

I wonder if they ever considered having things reference pointeded instead of xyz and work out how moving/orbiting grids work and what to do if a grid where to run over a non referenced bookmark or something.

Confirming that no industrialist play Eve, and no-one is doing industry because they've all left. picardfacepalm.jpg

Industry is alive and kicking, just look at the quantity of stuff available in trade hubs. There isn't a shortage of anything that players manufacture (and people want to buy).

As for the expansion, looking forward to seeing what CCP will come out with. The wardec system and FW are in desperate need of an overhaul, not to mention the 0.0 sov system, and many things need balancing. Less teasing more info please.

As you rightly stated in the dev blog, Crucible achieved so much win within such a limited development time. Inferno holds out the promise of continuing on this path and I, for one, look forward to a scorching hot 2012. At this rate I might have to sign up to the CCP Fanboi club!

I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that the FW changes are largely in the direction that the FW community have indicated in numerous threads and discussions.

+1 for the teaser and keep up the good work.

Starting the countdown until CCP says.

"Uh, yeah. Sorry that was all too hard. None of that is actually coming. We pulled the teams off other projects to appease you with 6 weeks of small fixes and we're off on our 3 month vacation suckers"

If you want any proof of this, visit me in the establishment as we talk about the sov mechanics.

I hate you CCP for not making the new Inferno wallpaper immediately available in a proper wallpaper size. I am "patiently" waiting for this...can you tell? =P

Thanks Guard. I will be sure to check it out and give feedback.
