I guess T3 ships are not combat ships Sad

But yes, I do agree that CCP is making some great changes in the winter expansion. I just hope they take their time and don't release half finished stuff.

so will miners get any reprieve to help counter the new suicide ganker ship griefers are getting?

not that i really care for afk miners but if they cant mine without being ganked all the time, im sure alot will drop their subs for that account(s) which will only serve to hurt Eve online as a whole due to less revenue and more staff layoffs.

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

They should, but they won't.

Goons like ruining games, Goons run CSM, CSM tells CCP that Eve needs more mayhem in it, CCP creates the ultimate suicide gank weapon, game potentially in trouble if this ship class is as effective as suggested.

Really, no correlation there at all.

Actually if I remember correctly, I do believe the 2nd battlecruiser for each race was in the very same patch with the tier 3 battleships. You know, back when the Caldari were stuck with the Ferox as their only bc?

In any sense, it's fitting that we will see yet another BC. Though I have always wished we would see the hurricane hull used for some new class of tech 2 battlecruisers. ;) But I guess that isn't all that likely.

They are not turning "lag" into a feature. They are featuring a feature that is aimed at dealing with lag.

There's a difference....

Equalizing lag for everyone, essentially.

It's a fool who thinks lag can ever be eliminated completely. This makes the playing field fair for all those involved.
