Have fun with your first gate jump :P

And since you missed the several years in the middle where we had no engine trails I guess those will look a bit better for you.

Ships have higher res textures now and updated shaders. They all also have their manufacture's logo on the ship somewhere. (we assume that means corp logos in the near future)

All of the space backgrounds got updated, they were based on hubble pictures and actually reflect which space you're in. Gall space is greenish, amarr is bright yellow, Caldari is blue, etc

Teiricide means all ships of the same class are comparable now.
Attack BCs are awesome :D

3 years huh.

Well, there were incursions. Theyre dead now.

Then there was Walking in Stations. Its dead now.

Then we got animated turrets and pretty clouds. Nobody looks at them.

Then there were Tier 3 BCs, and tier 2 destroyers. Theyre awesome. Im sure they'll be dead soon.

Ships got new skins. NO, you cant customize them, NO, your idea of corp and alliance logos is not original and doesn't deserve a thread in F&I.

Missile launchers have animated turrets. Missiles were buffed/nerfed. The Tengu died.

The new UI was DOA.

New bounty system. Here, have a bounty.

Crimewatch is fun. 10 bucks youll lose your 3bil ISK mission boat ala CONCORD due to new mechanics. LOL in advance.

Some ships got pre-req redone. NO YOU CANNOT HAVE SP REIMBURSEMENT. Have another bounty for thinking about asking.

New Launcher was DOA. Before it died, it killed the login screen.

And something happened with scanning.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I just love how one thing hasn't changed at all: the enduring, limitless, angst-filled pessimism about the game everyone loves and hates.

Lack of pessimism breeds complacency. Always remember that, especially in this game.

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

What's happened since then? I know i have to remake my characters face etc. Apparently i only have 93m SP, is that even a lot anymore? Any interesting new ships or things i should know about? tech 3 or something?

I used to be in RHNVY and Invicta/Cry Havoc. Who are well known for being very good pvp'ers these days whether it be pirates, mercs, 0.0 groups, or whatever? Any information to get me grounded again would be helpful. Thanks!


CCP decided over the course of multiple expansions to ruin sov mechanics, remove diversity from the game, casualise and dumb down most aspects, remove exploration, remove probing skill, introduce minigames, allow botting and RMT, implement half arsed ideas such as planetary clickfest and walking in stations, oh and of course there's the ludicrous failure that is Dust.

On the plus side, there are now incursions, meaningful faction warfare, bounties, and nicely balanced ships, good looking ships, no session timers, lots of UI improvements.

CPP seem to have been on a mission to tear the heart out of Eve, homogenise everything, remove all the idiosyncracies that made it what it was. Eve does really seem to have died this time around, the death throws will last another couple of years but the game you remember is gone.
