Hello fellow space pilots!
Looking at the type of fule used by the jump drive on a Rorqual (Oxygen Isotopes) i cannot but wonder if this does not offer a certain race in the game an unfair advantage.
Couldnt it be possible to change the Rorq so that it uses all the Isotope types to jump? EG the ship has a built in reactor that can take either oxygen isotopes...or helium...etc
An then apply the characters skills to determine how many isotopes are used for a jump ofcourse.
I think this would make the rorqual more accessible for all areas of the eve universe!
Cant wait to hear our thoughts!

ORE ships are, when it comes to the race, Gallente ships. Therefore they have the characteristics of Gal ships (Mag sensors, oxytopes, etc). So this is working as intended.

This.

That said, some ORE-style ship classes would be interesting. There are plenty of factions to build on that idea. T1 Khanid ships and BPOs anyone?

Ok k...so Gallente have the best mining bonus giver out there....any other unique cap ships for the rest of the races?
Or is CCP trying to tell us that if we wanna mine properly we should be born Gallente?

The rorq has exactly zero racial skill per-requisites.

What is your issue? Just buy the fuel the ship needs.

ORE ships are based on Gallente design principles. The Rorq is NOT a Gallente ship. There's a difference.

Yes, because training Gallente frigate 2 takes SO VERY LONG if you start out as another race.

Seriously, it's less than 12 hours of training to get what another race starts with. Why do people think race matters in this game after day 1?

It means we now have to mine 3 racial ices. So that's more barges that have to be built and operated. I can't wait for some newfangled patch to make some new doohickie that eats all 4 racial fuel blocks. Roll

Again... not empty quoting.



What we do need tho... is more capital ships from other races that use their fuel and make our lives more sexy...

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!
