I want a "Head in a Jar" - how do I get one ???
Seriously, can some of the vets here tell me how this change in speed is any different to the time they got rid of dual MWD fits ? I seem to recall everyone saying the sky was falling blah blah back then, but once people tried it out - the game was better for it (no more cavalry ravens for instance).
Roll forward, and CCP piled in new mods, pirate implants, new ships with speed bonuses over time, and (wrongly) didn't foresee that they were storing up trouble, now culminating in todays variant of the cavalry raven - the nanoships.
Fixing overpowered speed options didn't break Eve in the past, why should it break Eve now ?
Please, I am more curious than arguing one side or the other, so put the flamethrower down before replying.

Why did CCP decide to take down the servers for an entire day when Canada has a national holiday?
Now I'll have to do something with the family....

100% packet loss to CCP inside London at 4 hours before change. Someone is ****ed at coming changes. They **** me off since I can't change my skill to something long. In fact this one is about to finish.

Server restarting - I wonder if they will delay deployment if they won't be able to find cause of nodes death.

LOL -- any major game change favors someone and trashes someone else. Perspective -- fast ships are bad for your style, ship and skill set. So celebrate that CCP feels that you are part of majority.
If you want to avoid nerfs in the long run keep your style as a directly proportional outgrowth of n00b skills. However, you will tend to get the stuffing beat out of you in a new way by each new set of modules and special skills.
If you think about it CCP game designers do this intentionally to keep the game fresh in terms of what strategies etc dominate. It also throws a couple bones to n00bs and middle of road players -- they aren't dominated by same type of play forever and they never lose big advantages like people at cutting edge. So yeah there are shortcuts to the top of PVP...but those investments can become worthless with any patch. It is the old rabbit versus hare fable.

Oh so it wasn't someone outside CCP.
LOL -- it was like someone else noted "they are doing patch changeover right after EVEfest while people are still hungover?" Guess some hungover DB guy was prepping or backing up the DB in advance of downtime for patch...basically had a brain fart on impact of certain procedures on a live server.
Must have involved accounts DB too because I have heck of a time accessing this forum too. Very slow and posts failed.

Nice hung in a loop at 0-3 second to starup complete. Maybe it will work its way out.
I just want on long enough to change my skill. Then they can crash for a couple days. Not to be 100% happy with that but not 100% unhappy either...unless they can add back a free skill training "token" worth the time a skill was not training after server down.

Hardware improvement + patch stuff + speed nerf + make up details = CCP call this an EXPANSION

I'm pretty sure no play ever said hey my ship is too dam fast slow me down.
Really not happy with the fact that CCP just took 1/3 of my speed off my ship, not like it was fast to begin with.
really wish the developers would spend time programing in the stuff us players want, and not screwing with the stuff that is already there and works just fine.
