in the right click menu "Invite to Duel" being right beside "Add to Watch List" is not exactly the best place.

the new camera shake for your ship being hit is annoying and useless, please separate it from the camera shake for warp which is not so violent and actually a cool effect

\o/

Finally, Salvage Drones can be sent salvaging with a key. Gone are the days of having to lock up (at least the own) wrecks. The salvage outcome is still comparable low, but then again these drones only remove side effects in my case.

my 2 isk on the subject is..... WTF! seriously! are u on crack?! CCP, God gave all people free choice! stop forcing people into your plans. CCP doesnt want people to be caldari. obviously since all caldari ships now suck so much worse then any other faction they obviously are planing on removing them from the game right? i mean its the only logical choice. all caldari ships that were decent are nerfed. missles are the worst possible weapon for pvp yet because the drake is a popular ship it needs to be nerfed to be less popular. if CCP ran the government we'd have to burn all our hondas and toyotas because we should be driving whatever CCP want us to drive.

i started playing back 3 years ago and i researched for about a month before i created my character.
i chose a race based off the technology.
yes i can fly anyship i understand that but i spent years training skills for a particular race.
now those skills are useless.
shields useless, missles useless, u must fly mimnitar or we will just keep nerfing you.
i dont want to use lasers, bullets, hybrids,neuts, ecm but now i have no choice.
so i have a new year of training to suffer through so i can be effective with weapons systems i dont care to use.
i have max missle skills. my ship was doing 20% more dmg 1 year ago then today.
i had 27% more EHP on the same ship 1 year ago and i trained more skills during the year.

this is what happens when the devs are allowed to play the game.
whatever they want they give themselves.
shame they are all mimnitar.

i had 5 accounts i closed 2 and when the last 3 accounts run out of prepaid subscription time you will have lost 5 accounts from me. Thanks for ruining a game i truely enjoyed playing.
find a grease fire and jump in.

Yeah was thinking that too. My thought was that hardeners that still have a bonus switched off are basically shield resistance amplifiers. Maybe CCP wanted to make the amps something viable, and remove that tricky versatility you have switching hardners on and off. Amps when off, Hardeners when on. Tranquility is off-line right now, so I can't see if the compensation bonus applies to amps and hardeners...
Just my thought. Haven't tried it out yet.

For those who doesnt understand the drake change fully.
For those that do understand it, please ignore this post :)



INFO ABOUT THE BONUSES:
Before the patch:
Battlecruiser Skill Bonus:
5% shield resistance
5% bonus kinetic damage of heavy missiles and heavy assault missiles per level
7 Launcher slots


After the patch:
Battlecruisers skill bonus per level:
5% bonus to all shield resistances
10% bonus to kinetic damage of Heavy Missiles and Heavy Assault Missiles
6 launcher slots


For this comparison to be fair you have to understand that the bonus only applies to kinetic damage heavy and heavy assault missiles.
Any other type of missiles will have a lower DPS than before and the drake is not nor was it ever ment to be used with other than kinetic missiles.




THE MATH AND DPS RESULT:
(Observe that there are no damage upgrade modules included in this test and all skills that affect damage are set to level 5.
This test uses heavy missile launcher II's with T2 Fury missiles)

So ,
Before the patch:
1 launcher did 30 dps without the kinetic bonus. (Javelin fury missiles)
With the kinetic bonus it did 38 dps (scourge fury missiles)


So without kinetic missiles you had :
30 DPS per launcher and 7 Launchers = 210 DPS Total
With kinetic missiles you had :
38 DPS per launcher and 7 Launchers = 266 DPS Total




After the patch:
Still all skills at level 5 and still no upgrades

Without kinetic missiles:
30 dps per launcher.
6 Launchers * 30 DPS = 180 DPS total (less than before)


With kinetic missiles:
45 dps per launcher.
6 launchers *45 DPS = 270 DPS total ( more than before )


The buff gives you more DPS if you use the correct missiles and you dont have to use as much ammo to get the job done.
The nerf would be that you are less fortunate if you have to use other missiles than kinetic.


I hope this clears stuff out for atleast a few people.

All numbers are extracted from EFT and somewhat rounded

they still effect the passive modules.

Why are the Minmatars being punished every time?

Cyclone is now a Caldari ship, result of weapons change to missiles?!? and the nerf of the ASB. It's useless, weak and with no specific role. 5 mid and 5 low slots and a very limited cpu and pg, don't help this ship in any way. It's plain useless and a loss in the minmatar fleet.

Hurricane is a pale shadow of what once was the most dangerous and versatile ship, which was fine as the minmatar were supposedly the most feared race, commited to pvp, above all others. The Hurricane lost everything from a highslot to powergrid, ehp, speed, etc. Not to mention it has a lot less bonuses than any other equivalent. It has been the most nerfed and battered ship in recent updates without an understandable reason, penalizing all Minmatars.

It's nice to have ships to specific roles. Not nice is to invest time training for a ship cause it suits the role we want, and see it being mutated, changed, modified to something else, after that long period of training. It's not very respectful to players and weakens this game's credibility. If you need more roles, create more ships. We all would love that. Rebalancing is not killing ships or adding disproportionate advantages to others.

Why Minmatars are being punished?
Why Gallentes are being so beneficiated?
Why change Caldari's and Amarr's ships as they were fine already?

i'm sure i'm talking to the wind here. Afterall, it's up to ccp to make this game awesome. What i don't like is feeling like a pawn.
If I pay for a TV, I wouldn't like the company to come to my home and swap the TV for a toaster, just cause they feel like it, and think that's fairer for everyone....

I suppose these changes are cyclical and there isn't much that we (the common players) can do. Therefore I eagerly look forward for the time of Minmatars with the certainty that these changes don't help EVE in any way.
Add new features, don't change the game.

Other than the persistance issue im liking them, when in an incursion zone it always annoyed me i couldnt hide them. And allowing us to change the autopilot settings without opening the map screen was long overdue

was running 3 accounts on 1 comp before update, now cant run 2 accounts for more than 16 minutes before 1 of the accounts says not responding and goes white. lame! why does ccp insist on obsoleting good comps? this game is not worth buying new comp every couple of years.

Personally, I couldn't give a rats a*# about the route lines, waste of time and useless. Do like the new skins for npc drones tho (don't know if that came out with this or earlier...) and I agree BIG TIME with comment about little changes making HUGE difference in game experience!

To this point, I note with utter DISMAY, that a lot of little (what should be COMMON SENSE alterations) still have not occurred, such as;
why the f*#^ can't we have some organizational order choices ?!?!?!?!?!

What's that, you say? example one: Notepad - why can't notes automatically appear in alphabetical order? so simple....
- or by date created if that's what a pilot wants....
example two: People & Places - same thing when creating new Bookmark and having to scroll through all
the folder names which aren't in any f*#^ing order - makes it sooo painful
example three: PI - why can't the manufacturing info for ALL products, P2, P3, P4 have their material
requirements listed JUST LIKE SKILLS requirements are listed and tiered elsewhere
- it's bad enough having to click-to-death keyboard after keyboard just to mine
something but also having to click info window after window after window might lead
to carpal tunnel syndrome and then lawsuits thirty years down the road/wormhole

It IS the little things, after all, which make or break a great gaming experience, and I'm sure these are but a few, little ones.

PS - Drake is a great looking ship, imao
