Is the upcoming mini expansion just adding the multisized rigs? I just want to clarify whether the rebalancing is for future releases or will there be some rebalancing in the mid august expansion?

I rarely agree with reasons to change the drop rates (it's good to have some more rare stuff) but one thing you should do regarding T2 salvage is to increase the drop rates in Arch/Sal sites. Sites I've done recently have dropped only 0-2 pieces of T2 salvage each. Increase it to around 8-12 pcs per site and they'll be way more interesting to do and helps the T2 rig market.
Not really sure salvage conversion is needed or not as rarity IS a nice twist here and there. 
Edit: add another NO to more BPOs |

Any news on a date for the mini-expansion? I'm holding off buying and rigging some new ships until after this comes out.
I saw August above and we're near the middle of that. Must be soon right?

About time you can fix "broken" salvage. Atm we are able to build starships, and all of the components to kit it out, why in gods name could you not repair the parts to make said starship. I would vote "Hell NO" to having to do it in .0 or low sec. Too many griefers out there who want nothing more than more targets to blow up. I hear the constant complaint of it being a wasteland. Gee I wonder why???? Could it maybe be that not everyone wants to have their "specially" kitted ship blown up by some moron who has nothing better to do? Some like doing the pve. If you want more people out in low sec/null sec start to remove the pains in the butt. Someone steals your wrecks, fine pop them. Someone flips your can, again fine go after them. But if you are simply sitting in a low sec/null sec system minding your own business, mind your own business.

 Originally by: Bomberlocks
What I do think the end result of this patch will be is that frigs, destys, cruisers, bcs and assault ships will now be rigged almost all the time as opposed to almost never in the past. Now, it'll no longer be a a big question whether or not to rig your AS, because adding three rigs for an extra 4 million is small fry compared to the price of the ship itself. HACs have always been so expensive that it's been worth it to rig them, just like it has been with BSes.
It's certainly going to make rifter and thrasher combat more fun though, and I for one will be getting as many as I can for my dozen odd rifters and thrashers in storage.
CCP Coding guide:
1 BPO tab instead of new versions.
2 Implement Calibration Points that actually prevent abuse. RR, DPS rigging come to mind.
3 Restrict my T1 fitting options to ship classes again and I will come to Iceland. This is a Capitalistic vision of the future.
4 New players need to learn about Loss management. Rigs are not cheap toys. veterans buy b/c they know how to use AND keep them.
5 Increase Salvage drop rates in Lowsec. Heard it needs a boost.
This change is not good for PvP. It creates a classic Cold War arms race.
Every T2 ship will be rigged due to the reduced pricing. This is akin to allowing lvl5 missions in Highsec...very carebear, as there is LESS RISK for MORE REWARD.
The T2 ships will survive more combat, and it will be cheaper to do so. I will rig EVERY T2 frig I use and some T2 cruisers. No balance in calibration, and less risk...very disturbing.
If another T2 ship wants to challenge me, he better come rigged also, a la terms of The Cold War.
And this will lead to more buffer tanking and RR capabilities with smaller ships, so this will get nasty.
BPO implementation is also very horrid, no way to create tabs from the ones that exist in game? A selectable tab for Size from the BPO when accessed at the lab?
As I've seen stated the ideal system is still one size of rigs with a small bonus at high price. You pay for that diminished return.
And this new system fails by ignoring Calibration points AND restricting classes. If I need 5% more tank on a Domi I want to use a Small rig with a penalty against it and get the 5%.
If I want 35% on a frig, dammit I will fit a Large use up near ALL my Calib and get my >35. When it dies, at least, it was doing I wanted it to do, well.
This new system is a step toward Calibration Implementation and also a step toward ruining solo combat.
Increase Salvage droprates in lowsec. Heard it needs a boost.
This is a sandbox and this change is a bit "WoW" for my tastes.
Boost active tanks btw, those buffer tanks are nice but active tank skills are now not creating the Reward aspect. |
