I was leading team Myrm but I'm also super excited to fly the Navy Brutix. Also don't let the looks fool you, under its skin the future Eos is going to be the T2 Myrm you guys have always wanted.

You do realize this is CCP slowly turning the heat up on the isk faucet problem? With a bit of "you can have your T1 BCs back to near pre-nerf levels, but you'll have to pay for the privilege". Damn chocolate rationing...

Yeah that's what I figured as well. At least the kings of the past should be slighlty more "balanced" by price in relation to the tiericide project.

I don't care if it's really a "Drake Navy Issue", in fine EVE fashion ima call it the "Caldari Navy Raven Drake" lol.

Harbinger actually looks the most powerful. More armor HP than its equivalent attack battleship, five midslots, plus those bonuses. You can fit a monstrous tank and still have room for DPS modules Pirate

Brutix is gonna be my favourite though. Maximum gank Big smile

Unneeded ships.. unneeded patch...

And again.. Navy Drake beets all other ships in same class...

Rediciulous bullshit :)


And also.. why FW geeks get 50% lp cost AND 10% isk ?

Why dont they just take the Caldari ships and remove all turret and launcher slots, it would have the same effect.

So did mission running for LP just get more profitable?

We also "knew" about DUST514 and Incarna for a couple years before it was officially announced.

More ships > less ships. Pretty simple, I'd think?

That said, I'm hoping that CCP releases more than just four re-skinned ships. While I appreciate the need for care in balancing and that modelling resources are being dedicated to the V3 ship pass, it seems like there are a lot of art assets that still haven't been used for players, such as a range of pirate and navy ships.

Also, I'm really hoping CCP has some new ships coming out with Odyssey -- for instance, T2 exploration cruisers would be a brilliant dovetail with the exploration focus, and give something new and interesting to aim for/play for.
