A few reasons why I'm excited for Kronos

It's a busy time over here at CCP while we switch to the new "many releases per year" development cadence, of which Kronos is the first.

I just wanted to pause my dev day inbetween drafts of media alerts and social media postings to jump in here and highlight a few reasons why, as a player, I'm excited for Kronos tomorrow. There are plenty to choose from which I am awaiting, these are the ones I'm super excited about.

Mordu's Legion ships.
I'll most likely be investing in a Orthrus for PvP once the prices die down (the warp transition animation is awesome), but I have to say the Barghest is one of those ships that made the SciFi enthusiast in me say OHDAMN when I first saw it.

Solar Flares.
I use CTRL F9 a lot to grab random screenshots while warping around New Eden, so this little change brings much joy to my starfaring heart.

Little Things.
Specifically the color-coded fleet broadcasts. As an occasional Logi pilot, yes please.

Ok ok one more. Drone changes. May Caldari and Amarr drones see the light of day!

Yay!

I think I am most excited about seeing a more detailed landscape in New Eden, with the Factional Station Exteriors and the new Lens Flares. Don't get me wrong, those Mordu's ships are amazingly well put together, KUDOS to the Artists!

Also, the Serenity.... I mean Moa. Additionally, who doesn't love the Prospect? And those Third-Person Warp Effects? So many new beautiful things to look at! (read as destroy).

Even though I've been seeing all these goodies for a while... I still can't wait to see all of it on TQ!
I'll be chasing you all in a Mordu's Legion killing machine. Mwhahaha!

(..if I can afford one)

Kronos!

I know I'm going to absolutely love and hate the Prospect.

Love it when I'm using it, absolutely cursing its existence when someone is in my wormhole in it!

I would love a name of the dev alts for hunting and bounty collection purposes.

I don't have many things in this awesome release but the one I enjoyed most working on this time was adding the mouse hint to the online/offline notification to show you which labels you've applied to that character you're stalking.

I enjoyed it mostly because you people asked for it, and I like to deliver! :D

other than that, I'm super excited about the release because my co-workers have worked super hard on it to bring you nice things.

Oddly, I'm excited about being able to put a second MLU in my Skiff with only a little nerf to the tank.

And getting a new Mac client.

Ok this thread is starting to turn my stomach

It reminds me too much of when Games Workshop staffers have an eppy about their latest "finely crafted work of the model maker's art"

So many devs in here,
it's as if somebody posted about running beer through his soda stream... xD

Shocked

you put beer in a soda stream?

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
