Dear CCP Fozzie, You've writen:

> The plan is:
> Absolution becomes a Carthum Harbinger
> Eos becomes a CreoDron Myrmidon
> Nighthawk becomes a Kaalakiota Drake
> Sleipnir becomes a Boundless Creations Hurricane

Have You ever been playing EVE? Have You taken the part in medium or large gangs ever? Let's imagine that You are saying in team speaker: "Primary Boundless Creations Hurricane! Shoot Boundless Creations Hurricane!" Do You really think that this is possible in real fight?

The player.

I actually like the new Sleipnir very much. But I fully understand people who don't like it.

I didn't like the old Sleipnir, so I didn't skill for it.

I did like the old Absolution so I did skill for it.

Is it that hard to get CCP? Guys this game is not only about stats - it's about fun. And those changes will ruin a lot of peoples fun...

Where were all you whiners when this idea was proposed? I remember when everyone I knew in EVE thought that a Kaalakiota Drake would be freaking awesome. Now that it is finally here CCP is drowning in tears. I'm surprised they modify the game at all with this crying.

I like the changes. Especially the CreoDron Myrmidon.

^ the above text ^

There are no longer such things as fleet or combat command ships. That distinction was removed when we rebalanced the class.

And just to be clear we're still early on and nothing is set in stone at this point. What I don't want to do however is make kneejerk changes before more people have had a chance to try them out and give the alternate hulls a chance on Sisi.. Take the time to check them out on Sisi and let the idea settle in, keep letting us know what you think. We will continue to be taking feedback for quite a while.

Contrary to your belief, this is CCP listening to their players. This was brought up in a previous thread and it was overwhelmingly popular. It was tweeted, it was broadcasted all over the forums, it was on YouTube and it was on Reddit as well as spammed in lots of ingame chat channels. Don't complain because you arrived late to the party.

I hope so.

I hope it doesn't resemble a Harbinger whatsoever.

Because as I have limited missile skills, I'm going to need one. The Absolution was a souped-up version of the Prophecy hull that got snatched away and as it always was a goal - it just became a more-important goal over the past few months. I'm not flying that Harb-variant, no matter how good it is. Asthetics matter more to me than many other things. So now I definately need a new goal. I still think the Damnation is beautiful and sure, I want one. But it's still not the same. When they took the Prophecy, it was my favorite-styled t1 ship and it sucked to lose it. But this time, they killed a 5-year-old dream. I've slept, and I feel better about it, but this still sucks worse. I didn't even get a chance to complain before the change and making a spectacle of yourself after the fact is lame. It's demoralizing. So I probably won't have anything else to add.

The only silver lining is that my interim goal until Dec. 7th is to earn isk for PFG so I'll have another week for this to sink in. I'm just not even going to think about it. I hate it that much.

But if there's any chance the paintball number being fired at Dolan rises too high to guarantee his safety, put me down for shooting the rest at Fozzie.

Ugh.

YK

The original thread that is being referred to which supposedly got overwhelming positive feedback had a misleading title which only proposed a change to the eos, which is why most people flying other command ships probably ignored it. I hate the new sleipnir but I've learned my lesson, read everything, complain as soon as possible if you don't like it.
