Mine is staying in the station. I flew it once to go "oooh" and "ahhhh" but funs over. KB addicts will not get mine. They do have a target on their back: http://imgur.com/uqboIwp If House played Eve: http://i.imgur.com/y7ShT.jpg |

yeah but that's fine as it wasn't given to people with multiple accounts exclusively. |

What I found funny, or perhaps it's my shoddy graphic card, is that the Leopard is way the Hell off in warp before the cloaking effect of the previous jump has worn off.
And I mean WAAAAAY off, and not the few thousand meters you can sometimes squeeze out of the game by various tricks.
Working as intended; suck it up, Princess.

(Comparison: Ares =0.32, and lower is better).
Mrrm? An Ares has 3.1x. It's also based on mass, and shuttles weigh nothing.
Base align time of a shuttle is something like 1.25 seconds with max skills, where an Ares is 2.8 seconds (or with double nanos around 2).

Not to mention the increase of a gamker's E-peen by claiming they got a unique ship kill, nor the joy felt by others at the tears of the victims because of their loss. I welcome someone to try and gank mine. Really the only way I see it happening is if I get smartbombed on a lowsec gate. Latest video - Pandemic Legion titan and supers killed |

Pretty much this. People who don't ePeen would not expect nor understand this. The Leopard should be flown like a poorly tanked Astero. |

What is the speed limitation that the server can handle? I imagine there has to be a limit to how quickly you can get into warp and drop from warp.
Imagine warping so fast that you essentially blip from one point to another. Would the server be able to keep up with it?

The Leopard is pretty much warping away by the time you can try to click it to target it. Unless you are smart bombing or catch it in a bubble in nullsec you aren't catching it. |

I don't know about the server, but before they made warp deceleration slower on sisi, doing several warps in a row between grids would crash my client.

Hasikan Miallok wrote:what were they actually expecting ? Titans that can be flown without skills ? CCP should give everyone a ship that's as big as a dreadnought, has a jump drive but can't use stargates, aligns slow and warps slow like a dreadnought, but fits like a cruiser with extra EHP to make up for its huge sig radius, and has a tracking penalty making cruiser weapons track like capital weapons. And can be used in highsec.
That way we can pretend we are flying a dreadnought in highsec. Fit a warfare link to your tech 1 battlecruiser. Train Wing Commander. Get in the Squad Commander or Wing Commander position. Your fleets will be superior to everyone else's. (had this sig BEFORE Odyssey BC rebalance) And bring back the missile Inquisitor!! |

Can you imagine both the tears and the fun if this thing had interdiction nullification?
I would not know which aspect to enjoy more. |

Confirming the Leopard is absolutely **** to fly! I maybe buying some more in the near future.
Edit: Really, I can say "ass" but I can't say that? |
