I think we can expect Serpentis ships to continue being available from Serpentis and Angel LP stores only.


serpentis ships are not available in angel lp stores, however can ccp confirm this if angel lp stores will have the serpentis caps when released


Are the angel cartel and the serpentis friendly-ish to each other? I thought the angel boats only come from the angel LP stores and the serpentis ships from the serpentis LP store.

And no, I haven't been in either of them. I only was in a blood raider station once and in a True Sansha one.

Can imagine the capitals being a silly amount of lp to buy, Vindi =800k lp cant imagine how much a titan will cost (80mil lp??? lololol)

That is what allows titans to get dread-like damage bonuses without going into siege. I believe that normal titans get 900%.

This is a signature.

It has a 25m signature.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

Probably.

Btw my corp's recruiting.

Yup, the Erebus gets 180% per Gallente Titan skill level. This thing gets that 1000% plus a 5% per level rate of fire bonus.

Are we only getting these three or will there be a carrier to come later?


Just these three.


This is kind of disappointing, Any call on the reason behind this?
I was looking forward to seeing the Carrier :(

Question to CCP:

Except for wormholes, what is the incentive to buy the faction dread that has to commit to a field without reps for 5 (10?) minutes when one could instead buy a regular supercarrier for the same price that has less of a chance of dieing?

Pretty sure use-case is up to players to determine.

Someone, somewhere, will buy one of these things because it's just slightly better than a Moros.

Yea I'm sure that somewhere, people will use them simply because they can, and while players might find a role for them I'm more wondering what CCP actually intended them to be used for.

CCP generally don't have a specific intent for something. They'll have an idea, like you or I do about them getting used in wormholes or other niche roles, but they mostly leave these things to the players to figure out, because we will inevitably come up with something silly and/or crazy just by sheer number of brains that CCP never would.

Why do you think CCP needs a specific, and from what you're saying rather widespread, use-case for a new ship? Especially one that costs billions of ISK.

No no you don't get what I mean. I don't mean a specific intention, I mean in what way are they designed to have enough benefits over their counterparts to justify their use in any situation except for fringe cases? CCP wouldn't create an underpowered ship just because they think it'd be "cool" and then hope that the players can figure out a reason or two to justify using it, so I'm curious in what way they intend there to be justifiable benefits over other ships.

They absolutely have a benefit, it's just not a cost effective one, and cost effective is not something these are supposed to be *at all*.

Cost is not a balance parameter. Hasn't been since Titan proliferation started.

30 billion for this new dread?! That it way overpriced!

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

You go really crazy with Mats needed.

The Vehement Build Cost goes to 1,5 Normal MotherShip Build Costs, Vendetta goes to 1,5 of Titan and Vanquisher 4,5 times the cost of a Normal Titan.

And I didnt consider ME of T1 Caps, the Special Mats "Serpentis Modified Capital Microprocessor", LP Cost and ISK Cost of the BPC.

Can you confirm that those are not Final?


Sorry If I bump my own post, but is posible to have an answer on this?

I could swear I remember seeing one of those pirate factions also selling the other's ships and BPCs. But my memory is ass. So I could be wrong. Easy enough to check on sisi.

Thank you, dear!

Well, they have more than a month to surprise us with Serpentis level 5 missions and a LP store price for them. Until then, you might get a copy of those, so go kill some Serpentis and angels as of tomorrow.

I dont kill angels or serpentis, rp and all that, allthough my recent surge of minmatar lvl 5's has tarnished my faction standings with them Blink dont tease with the lvl 5's!

So +60 to warp core strength? Cause you get a +6 per level on the Gallente side, and the same bonus on the Minnie side per skill level as well... I mean, I get it. I really do. You're not suppose to have just a few people capable of holding this thing down, but dear Bob..

Gonna see that these are going to be OP as all get out.


The regular Titans are +50 at the high end. What's 10 more? Single HIC will give **** all either way = P

Will you implement an LP tax to make the BPCs easier to obtain? As in, not just a multi-month farming ordeal for a single individual pilot that has to make 10+ mil LP to afford the BPC?

Will you be seeding more L4 agents for the Serpentis as well? Currently, they only have three security L4 agents in the entire game, which is going to be a serious problem for anyone who wants to farm those upcoming Armor implants. This is at odds with other factions like the Guristas "god race" who has like 7 agents between two stations just 3 jumps from each other in Venal. Even the Angel Cartel has twice as many L4 agents in Phoenix, Fountain, than the Serpentis do, and that's supposed to be the Serpentis home constellation.
