So a small gun that usually has the effective range of 7000m, can now fire almost 2,000,000m? |

Its mostly because CCP has seemed to stop caring about making things actually go together with the Eve universe. The idea for allowing Destroyers to be used for Orbital Bombardment seems to be a cop-out. They seem to want to have a low entry bar for it, either because they know they won't be able to get older players to do it(after the first 3 months) or because they want dust players to sub and be able to do it quickly. I mean how could you go from a Moros bombarding a planet to a Catalyst.
In the end, everything regarding the integration with Dust seems to be half assed and not thought through very well. Seemingly out of desperation. Guess that's what happens when you bomb a built up major release(Incarna) then have major uncertainty with your first non Eve release, which has been indev probably longer then it will be active.
Edit: Also yes I'm bitter, if you didn't get the memo. |

I can think of one underlying reason that probably tops all others to start small instead of starting big.
Starting big excludes a lot of players who have yet to skill for big. Starting small allows all players, including trial accounts, to participate. Excluding players from game features is a good way to lose players and subscribers. Including everyone is a good way of encouraging more subscribers, and maintaining current ones. Let's not forget that, at the end of the day, CCP are a business - as well as doing this for ALL their fans and customers, they still have a bottom line to consider. No bottom line = no CCP = no EVE = everybody loses.
So with that mentality trial players should be able to fly titans. What you are asking for is instant gratification. You believe that everyone at anytime should be able to do everything. That isn't Eve. |

Eve ship classes aren't modeled after RL ship classes. You are trying to compare navel vessels to internet spaceships, the idea isn't the same. |
