why not, my idea is not to remove the new ones, it is to make an option in general settings called "use old weapons" or something else.

"Why not" has brought a lot of problems with Eve in the past. Mostly developer resource allocation issues from my memory.

If legacy stuff doesn't require maintenance, yeah, CCP will add it. (They have done so in the past on few occasions, I think) But it does require additional resources, the major one being the legacy and premium client issues.

A game, especially an online game, has to keep evolving and everyone needs to stay on the same ground. If CCP starts to add legacy stuff, and that later it is revealed that legacy stuff will give users more framerates or whatsoever, people will start to use legacy stuff for any advantage. This is just one example of what might happen.

Captain's quarter, or at least the concept, was talked about by CCP as early as 2005. It was a fairly ambitious project at that time. And it wasn't supposed to like the current Captain's quarter. It was supposed to add a whole new layer of social aspect to Eve.

It looked good on paper (everything looks good on paper anyways...) and many players, including myself, wanted it to become the reality.

But, alas, I guess it had been in development for too long and many aspects went wrong during the long (or lack of) development.

The current captain's quarter is a total failure.

i find shipspinning better, but the old turent models looked better on the ships (Enyo with Neutron blasters looked good. and now, same ship with Neutronblasters, Looks EPIC FAIL)

I have to admit I prefered the pre Crucible versions (or not the really old ones) purely from an asthetic point of view as opposed to notstalgia, I think they afforded easier identifiable discrpensies in some cases also, like the turret icons, making it quick to recognise which is which.

No, that's not the idea. The only reason why the ship hanger was returned was because right now, CQ is just impractical and slow. You don't add options if they don't serve a function.

Adding the old turrets don't serve any function. Plus, it seems that the only thing the player base liked about Incarna was the new turrets. Bringing them back won't do anything.

Plus, you can't even clearly see the details on the turrets past the frigate leve when your flying in space so what's the point?


Look, CCP is really busy right now as they are putting production of DUST 514 in full gear AND trying to improve EVE Online. And CCP isn't the super game developer that you may think it is. Time is the most precious resource when you work on a deadline and wasting it by adding frivolous features that do nothing is a recipe for disaster.

Look at 0.28: the heron or the buzzard are dedicated missile launcher, but they are shown with turrets, 1.02 ... a f**** raven with Ion Blaster II WTF CCP ?


There are four (4) turret slots on the Raven ...

just because they're un-used/bonused/etc doesn't mean they won't fit.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I can't believe that people actually think the old models were better. The change is one of the best things to have happened to EVE in a long time, and if you think otherwise you're probably objectively wrong.

Its never going to hapen, you will never have old turrets back. It must be obvious to you, so why you keep bumping this trollthread?

CCP really please dont use Upgraded, Limited, Experimental and Prototype in item names. It sounds like the item is actually worse than basic meta 1 item. Use Calibrated, Enhanced, Optimized and Upgraded. Its really easy to understand that the item is better than meta 1 and its also in alphabetic order.

Screw turrets! Remove them entirely from the game! Missile launchers only!
