I dont know, is "White Wolf" still publishing rulebooks and stuff, and is CCP cashing in on it? As they like own them... But even if so, its a tiny amount of cash.
All work and Incarna, Dust and still "secret and unannounced" WOD MMO is payed by our, EVE subscriber money. OK, CCP is a free company, they can do whatever they think is best for them. They should really pray that Blizzards next MMO isn't fantasy setting (or god forbid, "urban dark fantasy").
Now, 70 people walking on walking in stations is a bit extremely too much. I only hope that Incarna is planned to be the basis of WOD engine so its shared work. Otherwise it is obscenely too much resources devoted to something that can be categorized as glorified station UI redesign.
And I agree that CCP Warlcok's paper sound delicious to my CS&IT eyes and ears, is it public? Please CCP, pretty please?

No, they have a team dedicated to creating needlessly complicated tool that will replace all the naughty people that keep failing to appear on mass tests. And once they get the "fleet fight AI" on, well... it might help them run automated mass tests and try to find the Dominion bug that killed the performance.

The fact that we have a lot of old stuff we definitely need to look at doesn't mean we don't iterate, it just means we have to do one piece at a time. Waiting sucks, but we only have x number of hands for x tasks. Sure, we could leave PI and fix an old feature, but then we'd have people asking why we gave up on PI.
Dear sir, that sound all ok, but problem is they you have kept adding in features without fixing previously broken or abandoned stuff. That is what is taking toll on EVE.
And while "new content sells better than polished features", in a lot of cases we aren't talking about polish but about fixing critical bugs and terrible server performance and balancing issues that linger for years.
I just don't think that "new broken and imbalanced content that just piles up on top of all broken and imbalanced content" sells that good.

Actually, there is lot of indications that Incarna most certainly isn't 2010 winter expansion. And devs and CSM reports say that it isn't either any of 2011 expansions.
Incarna coming earliest in 2012 is in full agreement with the "18 months" period mentioned so much.
I just wonder when is Dust coming out, because if its not on plans before late 2011 or 2012 why have people working on EVE - Dust interface at this time.

Best 'fix' for rockets would be to remove them from the market, no one can buy them, no one can use them, no one can complain about them... ;-)
Troll harder please.
If CCP ever started removing ships and modules that are "useless" or "grossly underpowered" in a couple of years we'd be left with a single ship and a single fit for it. Removing stuff is worst method of game balance.

You somehow missed the winking smiley at the end of that sentence? Of course I wasn't serious, but it is an acceptable response imho to the statement that "it wouldn't take 20 minutes to fix".
Ah sorry. This thread (aka the situation EVE is in) is a bit rage generating, and there have been some vicious trolls on previous pages so I stopped looking at smilies and who undertones of posts. My bad. :(
Fixing rockets isn't 30 minutes sure. But 2 or 3 people who have some sense of small ship combat and know how to modify stuff in master DB could just take a look over some Assembly Hall trednoughs on rockets, do a minor tweak and let in on SISI for people to try out.
Now, active armor tank and hybrids would need a lot of man months to get right. But its still something a small team could achieve in month or two.

Hmm.. sometimes you have to make one big step into the future and forget about the past. Sometimes you have to just do something and not think about the opinion of the others. Sometimes this is the only way to achieve results.
I think CCP is trying hard to get such a big step done. So all of you - calm down and show some confidence in what they are doing here. If they fail - its their problem.
We are the customers.. CCP is the owner of EVE - so we may suggest something and we can decide if we want to stay ore leave. Everything else is up to CCP.
Lolwut? I mean you yourself said that we are the customers. We can voice our disagreement over CCP nearly completely abandoning EVE, and if they don't listen we can simply cancel our subscriptions and go back to some other well supported and managed MMO.
CCP depends on us to give it money. Not in any way is that dependably the other way around. And if they cant allocate one small team for bug-fixing and other for game balance for next 2 years... why should we possibly wait?

For one more time.
Nobody's asking to "fix everything". What people want is that both bugs and balance issues that have been present for years to be fixed. We have quite a bit of issues that have been hanging around for over two years, and CCP tells us that they wont be touched in another year and a half. That is way way too long time to wait.
We are not naive enough to demand "polished perfection" we just want game and balance to be a little bit less broken.
And the Dominion large fight performance issues.

Subscription successfully canceled.
There, done. And no one can have my stuff. I want it waiting just in case that in two years CCP miraculously starts fixing stuff and if I'm still interested in playing the game by then.

Truly wonderful. Now that thread has degenerated into random trolling CCP can lock it up and forget about it, without ever giving a single proper answer.
Yes everyone has "their" bug or balance issue they want CCP to look at, but that is only because all of EVE is broken to some extent.
Only customers that CCP has right now and will have for next year and a half till Dust and Incarna go out are "spaceship flying" folks (who by the way consider that to be EVE), and no one can be happy at silly 18 months thing.
Incarna players will supposedly want to undock at one time, if only to get to another station, and that will give them opportunity to see and judge the quality of spaceship parts of game.
Even when talking about Dust, CCP will have to go back to PI and make it worth it enough that people bother hiring mercenaries from another game.

In the topic. Dozens of trolls trying to say it is OK if game isn't supported, bugfixed or balanced for next year and a half.
This isn't just about lag or rockets or about any other single issue or combination of issues. It is about all of them, about status of entire game, and about tiny number of developers left working on it.
