This is my first expansion. I'm scared. Will it hurt?



Oh dear Panda it won't hurt.....much.


Just make sure you back up EVERYTHING and make a Windows rescue disk (if you don't have one) or go purchase a full OEM Windows disk.

You know....Just in case.

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!



I am with you on the Barghest Battleship but the cost of getting one of those anytime soon well that one will have to wait.

Except when you are on the test server everything is 100 isk LolP

I do like the new design Typhoon well done to the artist who redesigned the Typhoon Well done CCP Big smile

And I do hope in the near future that the rest of the Minmatar Battleships would get an update to them as well.

OK , yes I am a bitter vet, looking forward to the new ships and colour codes for fleet messages, but as a bitter vet I do have a long skill training (7+ days)

Also longs for the color Pink, just like CCP Explorer :3

Mommy mommy why are the CCP Devs acting strange and are out in numbers. I'm scared mommy.Roll On a more serious note I'm positively stoked about the changes in FW for kronos. Hopefully this will take away those god annoying bot farmers that instantly cloak up.

I like Kronos too (mostly) but this is pretty self-congratulatory on top of the stuff you already do.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

I bet it's because:
1) everyone submitted the projects they had been working on for the expansion and now have nothing to do...until:
a) expansion somehow collapses and CCP needs all hands on deck to make any fixes.
b) expansion works and new assignments get handed out.
3) Hilmar is out sick and so it's be social day.
4) That pizza thread actually went somewhere and so it was Pizza Party Day at CCP.

Place your bets people.

PS Speaking of a Kronos... can we get the Marauder "tractor beam bonus" looked at pretty please?

Marauder Tractor Beam:
Max Range = 48,000m
Max Velocity = 1,200m/s

Mobile Tractor Unit (standard MTU):
Max Range = 125,000m
Max Velocity = 1,000m/s

Keep in mind the MTU:
1) frees up high slots
2) is passive so you don't have to multi-task while shooting rats or PVPing
3) (if you really wanted to) a Marauder can fit 11-12 MTUs in their cargo hold
I see no reason why a capsuler would want to use a Small Tractor Beam II on a Marauder.

Can I get a "hell yeah!" for the reload timers?

The only complaint I have is I won't have internet for a while come wed since I'm moving and will be looking for a new job. Sad panda and all.

By the way, anyone have any feedback to give on AT&T for internet? I'm honestly sick of Verizon's crap DSL and even worse the way they have screwed us over the years.

Not to poop on your foot or anything, but we practically screamed for them to do something with the tractor beam bonus already. I don't think they will change that anytime too soon.

Kronos is chock full of win and I can't remember being this excited about a release ever. The only thing I don't like are the missiles on Mordus ships. The models look awesome, but I can't use anything but rockets and torps :(

Drone changes and all the small lowsec buffs are my picks out of the changes.

If I have four Barghest Ships, can I combine them to form a Lucky Clover Super dreadnaught?

The best reasons to be excited for Kronos:

- CCP Punkturis and CCP karkur released dev. blogs detailing their work.

BOTH Punkturis and karkur!

I mean, all the little things of our hearts, all the interface upgrades, all the delicious things.

They could alternate between being Goddess and Empress if you ask me.

You!
There you are!

I've been looking for you!
I already forgot what I wanted,
but glad I finally found you again! :D
