Vint Rotach	Posted - 2009.12.15 17:07:00 - [2] Probably not--- FIRST! I like it I assue though that its paper thin and will die instantly another player shoots it? Are they contractable/marketable?

CCP Lemur	Posted - 2009.12.15 17:10:00 - [3] Edited by: CCP Lemur on 15/12/2009 17:10:52 Originally by: Vint Rotach I assue though that its paper thin and will die instantly another player shoots it? Are they contractable/marketable? You can make contracts but not sell it on the market. HP wise it is pretty much in the shuttle range, even a bit less. Oh, 2nd

el caido School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2009.12.15 17:19:00 - [8] Cool idea. Cheers, CCP. I'd rather have my chat windows not unstack when I log off, my computer not freeze when I undock or jump into another system, the Salad Issue Mega restored to its former glory, and so forth ... but this is a start.

Karma Vortex Incorporated	Posted - 2009.12.15 18:03:00 - [30] Edited by: Karma on 15/12/2009 18:03:39 seems someone was influenced by that one Deepspace nine episode where they build a ship propelled by solar winds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qMTY3DBpcs

MAX MEXX	Posted - 2009.12.15 18:15:00 - [33] It's so nice you decided to do this instead of changing moterships. It realy says what ccp cares about. (cash)
Polo Ex Empire Assault Corp	Posted - 2009.12.15 18:17:00 - [34] I think the ship is nice but needs slots, atleast for a cloak =)
Xtover Suicide Kings	Posted - 2009.12.15 18:22:00 - [35] Originally by: MAX MEXX It's so nice you decided to do this instead of changing moterships. It realy says what ccp cares about. (cash) By giving out a rare ship (they traditionally do this every year or so).... What does this have to do with money? Did you intentionally make yourself look stupid, or was this just a happy accident?

Did you intentionally make yourself look stupid, or was this just a happy accident? More people sub up inactive alt accounts to get extra versions of the ship. So i refer you to your own line; Quote: Did you intentionally make yourself look stupid, or was this just a happy accident?

So i refer you to your own line; Quote: Did you intentionally make yourself look stupid, or was this just a happy accident? Really, how many do you know? If you do know some, have them read my line as well. edit: in fact, more mom pilots would resub over mom fixes than people resubbing for a core probe launching shuttle.

Virtually nothing in Star Trek is original.

Ezekiel Sulastin Gallente Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.12.15 19:28:00 - [52] Holy mother of ... It's a gift ship, likely made by people who have nothing to do with whatever complaint about broken stuff you have. It's not like it's some all-powerful Velator of Doom requiring the full attention of the balance staff to produce, and putting what resources they did into this neat little trinket had minimal impact on their bugs, if any. I really do feel for you about the stupid issues, and I have a good list of my own I'd like fixed, but stop being morons about it! eagerly awaits his new shiny
kittypaws	Posted - 2009.12.15 19:37:00 - [53] What if you just fixed moterships instead?
Jei'son Bladesmith The Storm Knights The Cool Kids Club	Posted - 2009.12.15 19:42:00 - [54] OMG DO WANT also geez people, they're givin us an xmas present and all you can do is complain? if you're not happy then gb2wow
TeaDaze	Posted - 2009.12.15 19:48:00 - [55] Originally by: kittypaws What if you just fixed moterships instead? What if people stopped complaining about a free gift that tens of thousands of people can enjoy? I didn't know the team responsible for capital changes were working on this. Last time I looked CCP had many different teams working on many different things within eve. Of course if you want your motherships to have no fittings and a built in probe launcher, I'll happily support your proposal Seriously, CCP already know motherships need looking at and trying to troll in any thread relating to other game changes isn't going to encourage them to implement fixes any faster.
london Gallente Dark-Rising IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.12.15 19:55:00 - [56] thanks for the gift, it will go nice with my other special items like the apotheosis and snowball launchers.

Casiella Truza Back Alley Trading Company	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:01:00 - [58] Very very happy to see this. Though do we get it 28 Dec or 18 Dec? Also, any other specs? Sig radius, etc? And will "regular" NPCs target it? -- Ecliptic Rift, an EVE Blog Back Alley Trading Company is recruiting!
Gun Hog Caldari Ardent Industrial Arcane Alliance	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:01:00 - [59] Hmm...solar powered...I think the Minnies are going to love this ship! _______________________________________________
Astria Tiphareth Caldari 24th Imperial Crusade	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:02:00 - [60] Yay for free stuff! Merry Christmas CCP! Minor query: On the initial website message the free ship is available to redeem from the 28th and on the devblog from the 18th - which is accurate? On the subject of complaints - it's amazing how spoilt & childish some people can be. It used to be the case that such people didn't get what they don't deserve. ___ My views may not represent those of my corporation, which is why I never get invited to those diplomatic parties...

Rhonnen Arctic Flying Penguins Consortium.	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:02:00 - [61] Nice looking ship. Any chance of seeing a BPO of a cruiser size version that's more functional?
NedFromAssembly Gallente GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:04:00 - [62] You want to give a gift? Fix the ****ing motherships.
Enthral	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:04:00 - [63] Originally by: Jei'son Bladesmith also geez people, they're givin us an xmas present and all you can do is complain? if you're not happy then gb2wow Certain people will always complain about something, because if you look hard enough, there is always something to complain about. Everyone has their special little cause, which they believe is the most important thing, and when anything else is done which doesn't serve their purpose, they will complain. Even when CCP "fixes" motherships, there will be people (often the same ones) who will claim CCP broke it even worse. It doesn't matter what the solution is, so long as it doesn't sync up with exactly what they believe it should be, CCP broke it.
Sandy McMalevolent	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:07:00 - [64] Originally by: Casiella Truza Very very happy to see this. Though do we get it 28 Dec or 18 Dec? Also, any other specs? Sig radius, etc? And will "regular" NPCs target it? You can redeem it from Dec 18th to Jan 6th. Sig radius is 25m and regular NPC's will target it, just not sleepers. You can view it ingame by the way.

CCP Manifest C C P	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:09:00 - [65] Originally by: Casiella Truza Very very happy to see this. Though do we get it 28 Dec or 18 Dec? Oops. Been a long day! Special high five for catching that. It is the 18th of December and has been changed in the news post to reflect it. --CCP Manifest--

Vxrasa Caldari Arcana Imperii Ltd. Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:25:00 - [69] Very, very cool! Does this mean we aren't getting snowballs and snowball launchers this year though? -------------------------

So it IS a shuttle with a launcher :) Thx for the gift CCP .. then.... im lost as to what good it is for WH pilots as they were advertising? T3 cruisers (+10%), T2 cov ops (+10%), T1 frigs (+5%) sisters launchers (+5%), sisters probes (+10% normal probes) ...all get a better strengths. sure not being shot at by NPCs is good, but it'll be harder to GET the sigs to 100% in the first place. I was excited, maybe it was bonused and you could get a probe to a scan strength of like 150 or something over the current max (129 w/o implants) 'a shuttle with a launcher' is going to get stored in my hanger for a few years and then auctioned off since it can't even cloak as well

TeaDaze	Posted - 2009.12.15 22:38:00 - [102] Originally by: Kyvon Glarner then.... im lost as to what good it is for WH pilots as they were advertising? T3 cruisers (+10%), T2 cov ops (+10%), T1 frigs (+5%) sisters launchers (+5%), sisters probes (+10% normal probes) ...all get a better strengths. sure not being shot at by NPCs is good, but it'll be harder to GET the sigs to 100% in the first place. Not as good as a dedicated prober, but if it was (more) people would moan The point is there is no need to train ship skills and it won't take long to train some probe skills. Bingo, one wormhole finding alt to lurk logged out in your WH system in the event you get podded

I couldnt agree more. Even some of the most basic game play is broken yet again. I keep jumping through star gates and not appearing on the other side having to relog. Earlier today I had 2 of my accounts logged in sitting at a gate camp and 1 of them could see an enemy ship that warped into the camp a good 5 or 6 seconds before the second could. Annoyingly it was my BS that could see the enemy not my tackler which effectively took me completely out of the battle. From what I have heard from friends of epic lag in large fleet fights, massive reductions in the number of people that can now join in one battle. Couple that with the fact that 0.0 battles seem to be able to be won by deploying into a system first due to the lag preventing the 2nd fleet being useable. Did i forget to mention the "honour" system you requested we all stuck to or face the consequences - like were supposed to know how many of what sort of structures they have and we need. Do the guys that come up with this crap even play EVE!!!!! You have broken the game to the point that its almost unplayable and I will not be renewing my accounts until I see evidence that CCP has fixed some of the epic flaws that exist in new eden. It is clear from the posts on this topic what the players are concerned about. Its almost as if CCP are deliberatly ignoring all the comments from there users about Motherships amoung otherthings. It must be mentioned about 15 times in this thread and how many times do you thing it is referenced in the CCP posts. I will let you count for yourselves. The game is rapidly descending into a farce. We arent paying you to test this game. Infact I will end this post with an offer - I will be happy to test your buggy software if you pay me 14.95 euros for each of the accounts i am using. (In addition to the above - how buggy is this forum system, this tiny message window I am supposed to type in with 90% of the page blank is scrolling from top to bottom everytime I try and type a character).

Resha Kon	Posted - 2009.12.16 01:35:00 - [121] Thank you CCP for yet another double-edged gift, giving me a choice of using it for hangar beautification or dodging suicide ganks of all the players out there trying to increase the value of their very own Zephyr by reducing their total numbers in EVE. If you are so keen on giving out unique items, i suggest that you at least restrict yourself to BPOs of these things, since you have no problem having a limited number of those floating in the game yet inaccessible to younger players. You should make it a proper gift and just seed it in some loyalty store or something. At least your last year's gift, while pretty to look at, wasn't all that very useful. And there will be even fewer of Zephyrs available since its now one per account and not one per alt, raising its unique value and giving even higher incentive for griefers. I give this "gift" one thumb up for pretty ship design and abilities and thumb down for your choice of delivery. DO you guys play your own game? You've just managed to dampen my holiday cheer.
Sakaane Eionell Gallente The Golden Phoenix Inc.	Posted - 2009.12.16 02:00:00 - [122] There's just no pleasing some people, yeesh! Thank you CCP for this gift! Happy Holidays. : )

And remember guys: probe away at a safespot/planet until the griefers die down, and remember that it's too small and fast to get locked down by anything short of a bubble.
Hack Harrison Caldari	Posted - 2009.12.16 02:50:00 - [125] Just to make everyone aware - you need to be REALLY careful when you repackage a Zephyr. Those sails are prone to getting ripped and it is impossilbe to get a good quality seamstress in deep space...

Direstorm	Posted - 2009.12.16 05:55:00 - [140] Since the ship seems to be aimed at getting noobs to probe, any chance of giving it like a 50% bonus to probe strength? (Still less than a Heron with two rigs and a Sister's launcher). Noobs don't probe because a) they don't know how, and b) a blip that would take an experienced prober 30 seconds takes a noob an hour and a half of blood, sweat, and tears, which means that c) they have a disincentive to learn how.

Peryner University of Caille	Posted - 2009.12.16 06:44:00 - [143] hey ccp? you should also make this ship be something each character can get once for free by doing the exploration tutorial. I just think that would be neat. : ) also don't make is this same ship, make it a weaker one? or one with a different color? basically, based on this ships design, ORE makes a copy of it, not quite the same , and thus not the same ship at all, but one that they can at least give one prototype to each pilot that is interesting in exploration. and make it so you can't do it more than once.

Gil Harstone	Posted - 2009.12.16 19:00:00 - [180] The unasked question that we fear the answer to: If the ship gets ganked, do we loose it forever? Can we get a replacement? Is this a "user beware" type of ship. Will a cheap sub 3 mil frigate be able to turn this ship into a salvage pile? It is very cool, but I'd hate to loose it on its maiden voyage out of the hanger.

Eve itself is "user beware" 4. Of course. Don't want to lose it? Don't undock -- same with any other ship in Eve. Why would you think otherwise? "Here's your sign." - Bill Engvall
Gil Harstone	Posted - 2009.12.16 19:27:00 - [183] Oh I pretty much figured it would be gone forever.

I hope a Mod will confirm the permanent loss to put the icing on the cake.

CCP, 2 things First, Thank you for the ship... I think it'll be nice to take it out... once the greiefers die down. Second, I respectfully suggest the following 1. Write a script... Count all the posts with "FIX" and "motherships". where post date >= Patch day 2. At the next Scrum meeting, Take a calendar with you 3. Stick a pin in the current date 4. Count fwd.. 1 day for each 5 posts counted in step 1 5. Stick a pin in that day and announce... "On this day, we will BEGIN our rework on the mother ship"

Not all of us can make a trip to Empire just to see a cute little ship. Wormholes do appear out here, you know!

Instead of the star wars pod racer that I will never have a desire to board even once, here's an idea for a Christmas present. Buy some new servers that can handle something that even remotely resembles the Dominion trailer you guys ** teased us with for a month. Call me Scrooge, but if you guys don't fix this so that people can actually have large fleet fights, Dominion is a complete and utter failure and you'll be lucky to keep your 0.0 player base till next December. Please stop wasting your time with like this and fix your ***** game. Bah Humbug. Now that thats out of my system... Merry Christmas!

Also, it doesn't instawarp, they changed the intertial modifier to 675 (!) so it is about the same as a sluggish shuttle - ie quick, but not as fast a pod.

Wang LeeMei United Kings R.A.G.E	Posted - 2009.12.18 04:43:00 - [205] is it intentional that after assembling the ship and removing the probe launcher, repacking the ship, assemble it again = new probe launcher ? theres already a contract ingame w/ 100 iris probe launcher fly safe

Farlo Truan	Posted - 2009.12.18 11:05:00 - [208] Don't see why the probe launcher duplication would be illegal. After all, they can only be fitted on a Zephyr. If someone has a Zephyr, they will always have the Iris probe launcher for it. Only 'use' therefore is in 'scam' contracts.

Tumininotes Amarr	Posted - 2009.12.20 01:27:00 - [219] Wow... Thanks CCP. On my first excursion I was able to find a wormhole, scan the area, bookmark about ten sleeper locations, plan my attack, and execute it, and just about clean out the wormhole in about an hour. The Zephyr makes it easier since you don't have to worry about cloak, it's fast, and because of its small footprint it leaves the wormhole stable for a second run. I'd like to see if it's possible to match all the high points with a normal frig. Now is the time too... Oops... to late.
DeMichael Crimson Minmatar Republic University	Posted - 2009.12.20 03:14:00 - [220] Thanx for the w-system scan ship. It's a nice trophy for the station items hangar. Would be nice if it could use the civilian codebreaker, salvager and analyzer. Since it has a very small cargohold it wouldn't be able to take very much loot and would only be able to access the cans in w-system exploration sites. This is just an idea which would make all those civil mods worth something. Anyway, thanx again. Hopefully a cold energy wave will sweep thru the eve universe and refreeze all the melted snowballs so everyone can have a little more fun like last year. Maybe it could happen on Christmas Eve and last till New Year's Eve. Would make it an excellent white Christmas

Makar Kravchenko	Posted - 2009.12.20 15:05:00 - [221] You know at first, I was like awe man, where are my f-ing snowballs. And then I had this idea. Snowball Launchers on Zephyrs, shooting sleepers. What could be more LOL? Snowballs pls. Kthx.
Shanitra Kerr	Posted - 2009.12.22 08:41:00 - [222] I like the looks of the Zephyr. Really. I'd like it even more if there weren't as many creeps out there who yearn for yet another Zephyr kill.

testkyra	Posted - 2009.12.27 08:38:00 - [227] So just one question. Why only NPC stations. I understand the whole Storyline and plausible crap, but hey Santa brought this so that should go out the window. You should be able to redeem it anywhere you are. Because this thing won't make it out an NPC station in 0.0 space. Thanks for the ship in the bottle.

gulftobay	Posted - 2010.01.06 02:51:00 - [233] Per the holiday gift dev blog here: http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=722 Beginning Dec 18th 2009, you will find the ability to redeem it on your account login screen. You can then assign it to a particular character and the Intaki Syndicate will deliver it to your hangar bay. You will be able to redeem the holiday ship once per active (not trial) account and will no longer be available after Jan 6th 2010, so make sure you log in to receive yours. "After" being key word, seems to me you should still be able to get it on the 6th, but not sure.
