The ship look beautiful.

However, I'm not happy about the web bonus, because that will pigeon-hole the ship to a blasterboat role. Every other new BC look like they will be effective whetever the range, if you fit them as snipers or brawlers, so why limit the talos to close range? It should have a single 10% damage bonus, imho.




PS: please unstick some of the older dev blogs. Too many stickies defeat the point of them being stickies in the first place.

I'm pleased with your offering. You may continue to bring me more.

But seriously, shiny ship, and I can't wait to see the amarr and caldari models as well. When is it going to be on SiSi and/or TQ so I can play with it, this foreplay can only last so long... Please say mid-November at latest Blink

Well, assuming the gankers are stupid and don't just use 10m worth of a few neo-Thrashers instead of a 50m isk battlecruiser.



I hear those thrashers can do 1200 dps?



Keyword: few. Few implies more than one. As in multiple. As in not one.

Three neo-Thrashers can output about 1500 DPS and hit a cruiser size ship a lot better.
You're assuming individual players are paying for the ships and not our alliance which is rich with Tech and throws away isk like it's ****.



Oh goons, what would we do without your reckless financial abandon making for such hilarious stories of ganking. I simply request you make a hilarious video (preferably not like the weird commie crap Mittens put out).

everything listed on the winter 2011 ministe feature page is for winter.
some are written as coming soon, because they don't have blog yet.

How do you think it will fare against your Tornado? Big smile

Given our military alliance with the gallente it would be undiplomatic of me to choose favourites. None the less we expect these two ships to be more than a match for there caldari and amarr counter parts. XD



o/ Pattern. Not sure If I ever thanked you for adding my ship to your collection, but if on some slim chance mine ends up being the Naga, I propose we have a duel! =)

Oh, so that's pretty much confirmation that the new BC's are turret slot heavy then?

*sigh*

I was so hoping they'd be limited to 5 or 6 to differentiate them more from BS's in a more obvious way rather than just having a PG/CPU limit imposed upon them.

I don't want to be negative but It will die a horrible death while trying to get into blaster range. Also your drawing looks a thousand times better than the presented ship.

Ur art guys should have used The Aquilon instead of enlarging a destroyer model

I don't suffer from insanity.. I enjoy it !
