Corvettes back when the server dump spat them out suggested that they where pod controlled fighters shot out of guns. (no litterally they where fired out of guns according to the stats) then again this was when the 425mm Tech III railgrun existed to have chip slots in them. This is all old ancient stuff no longer likely the case.
I have suggested that they be fighter squadron leaders since when a carrier assigns fighters to a ship loses all the carrier bonuses. It would also be a cheap non gate capable ship to replace losses on the field without having to go all the way home.

It would make me a happy man.
Well after some deliberation the MCC is about sub destroyer size clocking in at 90-110 meters and the way the game is playing out now... I wouldnt think a corvetee would fit in the game proper yet.

I think one interesting concept would be:
Corvettes are a fast manned attack vessel slightly larger than a fighter, the pilot does have a pod. Super Carriers can optionally carry a large volume of them in addition to their fighter compliment. When pilots lose their ships they can jump into a Corvette at the closest Super Carrier and get back into the fight immediately. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

as another plus, if my geography does not betray me, Minnesota is farther from Jersey than Louisville, which is always an extra plus. |

Looks like a fictional weather forecast, seems way to cold for anywhere people live and it mentions snow, which I have never seen so must go in the same category as dragons, fairies and sea monsters. Now I know places do get colder than that but why would people live there? So best advice throw more fuel on the fire and go deeper into the cave. How is that too cold? -12 is not as bad as the -30 that russia gets sometimes :s

Damnit, fellow Minnesotan beat me to it :(
Today is, what, 28 degrees F/ -2 degrees C, and I didn't wear a coat today because it feels NICE (coat is in the car in case of ending up stranded, of course). With no wind, anything at or above the freezing point feels pretty damn nice this time of year.
What I wanna know is why/how did people USED to live here? Before central heating and air conditioning? |

Renaming the rookie ships Corvettes makes sense, especially when the pirate faction versions are factored in.

A corvette would be heavier armed, but about the same level of protection, and slower. Meaning: Effectively useless. Historically, Corvettes were ASW escorts, weaker than destroyers in all respects - speed, firepower, and survivability.
Basically, if you could put a popgun on a shuttle, you'd have a corvette. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

But how do you get pirate ones, if rookie ships remain racially bound? Maybe changing it to be based on the station owner instead of your race. |

Rookie ship based on the station owner would be good - if it happened I can see a nice sideline in parking some alts in cloning stations in delve, curse,venal etc to farm some for the collectors market. |

Way to cold it gets to -5C here in winter and that is too cold give me 38C + any day
We get a lot of days here over 110 F, and I would take those any day over the cold. EvE players have no voice. Just don't bother voting for the CSM, really its not worth the energy.

Sort of like a DUST Troop Ship of sorts. Allow players up to stations and visit say a cityscape area on some worlds. Allows EVE players to hunt them requiring escorts and intel.
Say 20k EHP Destroyer size, Cruiser speed. I don't know if it would interface well though. A lot of ground work would have to go into it but imagine missions where the Capsuleer enters the complex, the Troop Ship Docks and the Capsuleers fight off waves while the Bunnies clear the base.

Celcius is easy:
0 degrees: Pure water goes to solid state (freezing point). 37 degrees: Body temperature. 100 degrees: Pure water goes to gaseous state (boiling point).
