It’s a shame that the CCP storylines never really follow through. They’re developed so slowly as to be almost inconsequential

Feffrey: what are you talking about? Look under Ship Changes.

- One class of transports (I’m not sure which one, I can check later) are losing their Warp Stab bonus, and instead get Covert Ops cloaking fields and Jump Portals. Which looks like a pretty interesting toy, to me.

- Speed Changes to a bunch of crap, as per the Nerf. Which I’m also curious about, since it looks a little different from the original version. Which, while it’s basically a nerf, does seem to provide a whole lot of new toys and new ways to use things. I’ll probably spend some time today poking around the site, and seeing what the state of the nerf is; it looks like they answered some of the issues (mass changes, missiles becoming overpowered), and I’m curious to see what things look like now.

- And a whole bunch of other, minor crap.

The Gallente doomsday is that black hole type thing you see by the titan right before the video cuts. It’s not as flashy as the Amarr one sadly.

the Deathstar is a good deal bigger though.
Those Dreadnoughts are only 5 kilometres long or so (about the size of a normal star destroyer) the Motherships (the big frisbee things) are about 8. The titan is about 15 (a little larger than a Super Star Destroyer)

But they fill up space nicely in close formation.

@TooNu
If I remember back to my geekier days, an Imperial Star Destroyer is only 1.6Km long. So a Dread would dwarf an SD
*scuttles off in shame*

What can you say about those sneaky slave running Amarrians. I’m Gallente so I couldn’t help laughing when one of our Titans showed up dropped a doomsday on them. Better watch what I’m saying though, as I just picked up an Amarrian agent to help raise my standings with the Caldari State. Nothing like being a triple-faced hypocrite

It is a well known fact that frog ships give you Hepatitis.

@Seniath says: “I hate EVE trailers. They’re far too good at making me want to play again.”

Yep. I quit for reasons that still seem good (there is too much waiting, and the practicalities od dealing with humans were a pain even tough it’s the most agreeable multiplayer community I’ve ever encountered). But I can’t help thinking about what might have been, that fun that always seemed to be just around the corner but never arrived.

I should probably stop stalking RPS EVE threads like a sad ghost, moping over what might have been…

Actually, quantum just means that it’s fundamentally discrete rather than continuous. All they’re really saying is that they didn’t program it on an analog computer.

Reid: Much as I love EVE’s universe and plot, I think that the players actions and 0.0 intrigues are still supposed to be the focus. Although maybe what Jim says in his earlier post about CCP trying to attract a new kind of player is true.

Gallente for life, of course. Did my part for the Federation over the summer before coming back to 0.0

elefaire: OK, so what they’re saying is: “This patch will update your game by an integer number of bytes”?

Everyone has a different point of view. Personally, I think
this update is the best yet. I’m a transport trader and I think that these enhancements are the the only ones so far that are going to have a real positive impact on me.

There is nothing more challenging than blowing through a gate full of baddies in a fast unarmed ship with nothing more on your side than skill and technology.
