Swiftstrike1 wrote:New names for the iterons with special roles plz. They are no longer merely the 3rd or 4th version of the same ship after all :) No, the names are fine. You only need look at them to see that they're still versions of the Iteron family - just with different subdivision of their cargo space. |

Leave them as they are, there is no conceivable reason to change them. |

Quote:The length of the Iteron model should be tied to your skill lvl. (in complete logic with the cargo capacity expansion per lvl) pls like this post to vote for this cool idea The flaw in that logic is that the Iteron IV is ttwice as wide as all the others. |

Anela Cistine wrote:The Itty III has a planetary materials bay, which is great, is that able to hold Command Centers? If not, could you make the standard bay a little bigger so the ship can hold at least 1 command center?
It seems silly for a newbie to have to buy a ship to launch his command centers, then immediately sell that ship and buy a different ship to actually run his planets.
Cargo expanders. |

CCP Rise wrote:Quote:Overall excellent changes, just one thing, will the special edition Ity 4 get any bigger Ore hold? The special edition ships are kind of odd.. Right now I have them set basically as Iteron Vs that are slightly better. I think they should probably stay that way since having a specialized hold seems strange for a ship that goes out for special events to a broad set of players. WHAAAAAT???????
No, no, no - surely you can't mean they'll change to the Iteron V hull model? That ship is the third stupidest looking hull in all of EVE, behind the Tristan and the Imicus. I can never figure what it most looks like - a giant, legless, space-going stick insect, or an Iteron III with an Iteron II's nose shoved up its arse.
The special edition Iteron IV's already have specialised additional cargo holds, so why should they change? |

LtCol Laurentius wrote:This is a much better version of the changes than the original proposal. One thing i dont get is that you avoid giving a ship a ship maintenance array usable for moving rigged ships (a relocation ship) because "it have broken the boundaries of Tech 1 specialization" Well, all ships currently equipped with ship maintenance arrays are Tech 1 mate  And to use the hoarder as a relocation ship with - say - the capability to move up to a rigged battlecruiser would be infinitly more worth it to the players than a ammo ship. Just my 2 cents anyway. To do that they would need a new hull model for the Hoarder. The present one is a collection of individual boxes bolted onto an open frame. How could that arrangement hold a battle cruiser?
I know that we can't be too pedantic about such things but that would stretch credulity a bit too far for me. Frigates - yes, destroyers - maybe, battle cruisers - no.
I just wish the Hoarder could be the PI hauler 'cos I'm going to end up with a PI alt with a useless cargo-rigged ammo ship.  |

Markku Laaksonen wrote:Special Edition Iterons are all manufactured by (or least have the paint job of) the Quafe Corp., right? Give them a special Quafe bay. 50,000m^3 of the good stuff. Maybe even make the hold bigger. They already have a special Quafe bay. The most they might need is to have the capacities of the normal cargo and Quafe bays altered to match the normal cargo and ore bays on the standard Iteron IV. |

These are expensive (12Mil+ per ship) rigs that are now going to be worthless on them. Totally wrong actually. As pointed out elsewhere the rigs / expanders in the lows combined with high skills will net you a massive boost in your cargo hold. This is most important in the Itty for PI, because that extra cargo space will allow you to carry a pair of Command Centers. It won't give you the bang for the buck that hanging them on your old ships gave, but it's plenty of reason for them to avoid a refund. No.
Rigs and expanders on the Iteron II - IV only affect the tiny cargo hold, not the specialised hold. |

As a side issue, why are they still called Industrials?
My understanding is that they were originally intended to be exactly that (i.e. ships capable of running undustrial processes, hence the huge CPU) but eventually emerged as something different.
I would like to see them given a type name more appropriate to their purpose, such as Cargoship or Hauler. |

CCP Rise wrote:"Iteron Mk. IV" to "Miasmos"
This one carries ore, which means ice, minerals and gas. We've pretty much covered the first two with the Kryos name, so we decided to have some fun with gas. A "miasma" is a gaseous contagion - actually one of the first on record, from Greek mythology; and as we tend to sometimes mythologize Gallente ship names, it was a good fit. Another candidate was "Atreus", the dude who actually caused the plague by doing some horrible things (seriously, look him up), but it's far too similar to the Atron; so "Miasmos" it is. What about the special edition versions? |

I don't think so - I'm pretty sure it's a specialised exploration ship. |
