Give em credit mate. Where it's due, seriously. Hybrid buff? Hells yeah! Assault ship bonus! WEWT! It's like they're finally listening.

And.. AGAIN its PVP that gets some fixing.. if its not PVP, its Null... hey - dev's.. gues what.. there are actually spaceship that ISNT PVP... *OMGOSH* surprise i guess.. so.. when can we expect to see some fixes to Industrual Spaceships.. like.. the Orca... "hint" for a fleet mate not in corp to use a orca, u need to configure it each time u leave a station/jump a gate *DOH*

And lets not mention the "new feature" added in latest updates - the auto-close window of the Ore-hold when u undock.. excellent feature.. what's its use anyway.. it only holds 50 K ore.

Then we have the wish for a Gas mining ship on one side, and the utterly useless, thow rather cute Procurer... and the list goes on.. but i guess thats not really relevant, as im still to see a single GM/Dev to step up and admit that he has a industrial alt, and never PVP/are in Null - and are proud of it.. Somewhre on the line - the GMs and devs of this game went off track, when they all tend to be focused on PVP/Null - and ignoring prolly a very large part of this game.. the PVE Industrial.. go figure..
And no.. fixing 1 indy thing, each time u fix 100 pvp thing, or add 50 new things to null, isnt good enuff, and its certainly not focusing on us that are NOT interested in PVP, Not interestd in Low Sec, NOT interested in Null sec..


And off i go..

Thanks for this CCP, you-¦ve restored my faith in the game, hopefully the hope is not misplaced.

If I could make one wish, to complemented the great things you-¦ve already have planned, is to give us new T3 ship class to play with. T3 frigates, T3 battleships or even T3 carriers would surely keep us busy, same way as T3 cruisers have for this long.

C) needs to show other players docked ships. That would just liven up the space so much, the old hangars (pre-Trinity) had visible docking pads for several ships. I always wanted to see other ships entering and leaving. Heck, even if they were just on a script and not representative of players.

here are the fixes for hybrids:

blasters:

concept shotguns (short range arties...)

1. Increase base damage by 50%
2. Decrease rate of fire by 30%
3. Increase base tracking by 15%
4. Increase falloff by 50%

railguns: Concept long range auto cannons

1. Increase base damage by 15%
2. Increase rate of fire by 15%
3. decrease activation cost by 40%
4. increase falloff by 50%

ammo:

Simular boost that projectile ammo got

concept choice between what damage type you want to do between thermal and Kinetic (i.e. antimater does 80% thermal damage 20% kin damage, uranium does 80% kin damage and 20% thermal damage)

also include a tracking bonus built into the ammo

Caldari boost:
remove the optimal range bonus for hybrid turrets and replace with a rate of fire bonus

gallente boost:
remove the falloff bonus and replace with a mass reduction bonus

change the internal rep bonus to include a bonus incomming remote rep

General fix:
change the speed reduction affect on armor rigs and replace with an agility reduction
change reload time from 10 seconds to 5 seconds

How about if it showed some of the other ships we ourselves had in that station?

I hate to sound like an old door or a stuck taperecorder, but Zulu; 13 days. How can you accept a working environment where you give promises, then two weeks of purely insults and silence, just to be followed up by :words: and no content? I would feel sorry for you, but you could've had some integrity and put the foot down. And most of all, you could've avoided insulting the playerbase.

The CSM and former CCP employees usually have mainly good words about you. But your public posting is beyond horrendous.

This blog is one of those standard 'intent'-blogs we expect from you guys, but we havn't seen any progression at all, yet. Until you guys (the staff at CCP) stop lying, stop the silent treatment, stop running past CSM (and at the same time try to use "we ran this by CSM" in some cases, while in others you ignore them), stop insulting and attacking players on forums, stop banning people you have a grief with (even tho they havn't broken any EULA or forum related rules, i.e. t20, Helicity, etc), and most importantly: goes back to developing the dangerous space-MMO we used to play; we have no reason to feel anything but distrust and disgust.

Your list of Winter Expansion goals btw, it sound awfully populistic (hybrids, AF's, Capital Ships, t2 modules, could use improvement but isn't gamebreaking), the only big real fix there seems to be starbase logistics management. You didn't mention either of some major PvP buffs you could do:
1) completely removing 'upgraded systems' for sov nullsec, as it just blobs people in one system rather than spreading them out.
2) highsec being way too safe, and in many means really easy to dodge wardecs by repeatedly jumping corp, where's the dangerous EVE we had the first five years?
3) means to attracts players to low- and nullsec rathern than keeping them in high in the first place
4) nullsec logistics being way too easy and safe, jumpbridges among the real big pvp killers

Those are some major concepts that would have alot more impact on PvP then either of the stuff you mentioned in the blog. Your choices are pure populist choices, and the real core PvP issues (small- and medium scale, and in a sense easy-access, PvP being irrelevant and overlooked for years and years) are not even looked at.

And the safety in highsec, combined with the reluctance of forcing people out of high-, just makes :tinfoil:-rabble-folks like me wonder if you are more keen to keep the subscriptions of carebears (who break the economy btw, producing way more than they are losing and plowing isk into the market from their PvE activities) than to actually maintain a functioning ship- and market PvP. And in a longer timeframe: the game as a whole.

how bout you add balancing moon goo throughout the regions and nerfing RMT and botting? Also can you add a dislike button so people can dislike my biased post.

this is the hybrid fix you are looking for:
