Bellum Eternus Gallente Death of Virtue	Posted - 2009.02.25 01:12:00 - [1] Right now we have three of the announced five subsystems on SISI at the moment with no evidence that we're going to see the remaining two subsystems before the expansion hits on March 10th (if it even makes that date). So, are we or are we not going to be receiving the last two subsystems per section? I'm thinking not. Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam. Death of Virtue is Recruiting
Bellum Eternus Gallente Death of Virtue	Posted - 2009.02.25 01:28:00 - [2] Originally by: Kathryn Dougans Originally by: Apocrypha features page At first we'll be introducing three variations for each of the five modules, with the rest to come Soon (TM). You're not going to see them before the expansion, I'm guessing. http://www.eveonline.com/apocrypha/index.html Snap. Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam. Death of Virtue is Recruiting
Bellum Eternus Gallente Death of Virtue	Posted - 2009.02.26 00:57:00 - [3] Originally by: CCP t0rfifrans 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? Sure I agree 100% that it makes the most sense to have fewer subsystems that are well executed and highly polished delivered on time than to have five subsystems that are total crap, but the way you're talking, it's kind of a chicken and egg situation isn't it? If you deliver the initial T3 ships pre-nerfed the way CCP has traditionally done things (Stealth Bombers, BlackOps BS etc.) then player response will be lukewarm and apathetic and then you won't deem further development of the systems worthwhile. 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. Unless T3 ships present a clear performance advantage over existing designs there won't be much demand for them given their initial cost, complexity and risk. Sure some people (like myself) will still do crazy stuff like fly Marauders for PVP on a regular basis, and I might dabble in T3 even if it's not all that great performance wise, but if it's not extremely popular- as popular as mainstream content like Tier 3 BS for example, or T2 modules, then all that time and effort to develop all that new content is going to end up like say, COSMOS missions- a complete waste. Something esoteric and rare that is looked upon as a novelty rather than a key component of Eve game play. Bellum Eternus Inveniam viam aut faciam. Death of Virtue is Recruiting
