Ugh, I hate the new Reaper. I just rolled a new Minnie char and since her job right now is to sit in a station and train some boring skills, the Reaper is all she has. It's seriously lolbad, looks like something from a cartoon about spaceships rather than something that follows the Minmatar ship-(and stuff)-building aesthetic in general. The old Reaper looked like a piece of space junk that fell off of a bigger ship, but the new Reaper is far too much in the opposite direction: cartoony, something that looks like it came from WoW.

Not impressed, and lol @ it being the ship used in the "their gear, our gear" promo. I see that it actually HAS been aimed at WoW players who are used to cartoony graphics, it seems. It all makes sense, but the ship is still bad and not at all badass Minmatar like.

Congrats, CCP, you achieved the impossible: made the Reaper worse than it was.

Just discovered that the Velator weighs in at 1.148.000 kg, while the Gallente Shuttle weighs 1.600.000 kg. What's up with that? Shocked Do they fill the shuttles with lead?

On a related note, anyone noticed how on the concept art for the Ibis, it shows turret hardpoints on the top of the craft, and also on the nose below the cockpit in addition to the side mounted hardpoints? Ingame there are clearly hardpoints in these spots(you can see where the turrets are meant to go) but weapons are all mounted on the side hardpoints. What are these mystery third hardpoints for? Secret T2 rookie ships in the works?Shocked I certainly hope so.P


The rookie ships show up as Pirate NPCs. NPC fits often include more guns than available to players.

I like all the redesigned rookie ships, they look nice. I like the Amarr one the most.

You get what you pay for. The Velator's are free, prolly made by the lowest bidder. I wouldn't be surprised if the armor plates are actually hollow.

You do realize they warp at 3 AU/s right? That's half as fast as your standard T1 frigate, and less than a quarter as fast as some ships (certain interceptors and covert ops).

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Yep. It's better to use a shuttle if traveling is the sole purpose.

New velator isn't organic looking enough, new shape is too caldari. Also, the new ibis doesn't havy nearly enough sexy blue lights.

This is your problem. I suggest you get an interceptor.
