we want to release factional warfare now instead of later so we're leaving rewards and mission reward balanced for a later date. Don't worry it's coming.

Probably cause they realized that it was ******ed to need to bribe people to PvP.

Originally by: Misanth Apparantly CCP was working on a 1v1 duel arena that'd be ranked.
That actually doesn't say exactly what the final design iteration and constraints of the "Arena" would be. But anyone it isn't happening.
Are we losing two subsystems? Well, are we gaining T3 hulls and 3 subsystems?

Originally by: CCP t0rfifrans The time the fifth variation will be launched is dependant on the interest and pick-up of T3 ships.
Isn't this backwards?
You have the potential to make a feature really awesome, widely used, and change the face of New Eden altogether and then surely build on that success (well, finish) it at a later date.
The fact it seems that your not confident in the features interest is deeply worrying.
The can have all the confidence they want in it, but the basic fact is they aren't the majority of players and can not in fact read minds.
If you seem to think that the success or failure depends on one extra subsystem, then I don't really know what to tell you. But it makes more sense to see if a feature becomes super popular before deciding how far up the importance chain it is.

Originally by: Finnroth Edited by: Finnroth on 25/02/2009 16:42:55 A fourth variety sounds promising in this time frame, could make T3 actually interesting.

You have to consider, that there're vastly more possibilitys for fittings with each group of modules added on top of that. Adding "just another couple" equates to seriously a lot more ships, and not just on paper but in acutal options to put them together (in a useful manner). This stuff is all about choices and customizability, so i have to agree wirth Pattern Clarc. If you cut it down, you make it less appealing wich leads to less use ig which projects a feel of non interest in this feature. And this is basically wrong - one just has to read the forums to see they were pretty much anticipated.
However, in its current iteration, there are still a significant amount of numbers. Yes, to make up some numbers 50,000 is more than 5,000. But 5,000 is still a lot.
Frankly, I can see a lot more possibilities in seeing how these play out and possibly adding different types of bonuses to the ships. Ones that are possibly more unique, so we don't just end up with 5 subsystems of 1bil ISK Hac/Recons.
I'd like to perhaps see subsystem 4 or 5 be something like "99% percent reduction in CPU/PG for ______ (Focused Warp Disruption, etc etc)." Maybe then with some sort of drawback.

The time the fifth variation will be launched is dependant on the interest and pick-up of T3 ships. Would I have liked to have all five at M10? Of course? But considering the life time of assets in EVE, I want what goes in there to be polished and smooth rather than rushed so the decision was taken to focus on the three and make them awesome, which they certainly are.
Bolded/italicized/underlined the important part.
Seriously?
It is critical that T3 be amazing and spectacular upon release, for every other aspect of the expansion rests on the success of T3 being interesting enough for the player base to pursue. If it's not, then there is no point in venturing into wspace for the parts to build T3, or developing production infrastructure to produce T3 ships.
I agree 100% with Bellum on this. Let's face it the lack of the additional subsystems is a huge 'apocryphail' (sorry couldnt resist).
Without the additional subsystems the whole variety and scope of the T3 cruisers becomes significantly 'meh'.
What's stupifying is that t0rfifrans then comes back with 'we might not even do that if its not popular'.
?! So basically all that hype at Fan Fest was what? One gigantic marketing exercise?
This news has totally dented my enthusiasm for what promised to be perhaps the best expansion in EVE's history.
Not any more.
C.
I'll put it in simple terms for you:
Reality happens.
