With all these new ships coming out anyone else wandering what its gonna do to the next alliance tournament?... I mean will these new BC's be used? And will the drake finally be getting replaced by its new big brother? What do you guys think? I for one think that we will see quite a few of these BC's in the tournament, whether or not it will be fielded by some of the more elite tournament teams i doubt but i definitely think that these ships will be in there. I wonder if with these new ships CCP will lower the points for Battleships i not then we will truly never be seeing teams field them. |

Meh.. not so much, mainly because it's for Alliances only. It can be fun to watch some of the commentary clips though. Features & Ideas Discussion: Skill Training, Agent Finder, Black Holes Needs a banner here.. |

As I recall the final in last year's theatrical production of the AT was so bloody rigged that it wasn't even decent entertainment let alone a tournament The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

After last years AT final i'd rather roam cloud ring for 30+ jumps and not get pew pew rather than watch that load of crap if it's going to end up the same. |

Haven't watched a tournament in years. I'm willing to give the next one a whirl though, what with the new rebalancing and all. No one wants to play with their expensive toys. This needs fixing. |

It mainly depends on what point values CCP assigns them, but I doubt the tier 3 BC will have much effect. Large guns and torps aren't as effective against the fast cruiser and frigate hulls often used in the AT. Buffer tanks are also very important, and glass cannons usually can't pull their own weight in the AT.
That said, we don't know what the final ship stats are going to be, so if they do something unexpected (like especially high sensor strength, or 8 mid slots, or lots of extra power grid, etc.) they could be a new AT favorite, but I don't expect it. |

Of course! However, along with the many before me and the many I am sure will agree afterwords, the final did blow hard. Watching would be great crews get bought off and the shenanigans (conga line anyone) was pathetic.
I would love it if they made a CCP Bittervet AT moderator who could use the mighty hammer of AT justice on teams he thought weren't giving us good enough of a show, much like gladiator tournaments. |

After watching one alliance intentionally throw the last match to the other, no I'm not looking forward to it at all. I am neither fanboy nor flamer. I am logic, dispassionate and cruel. |

if CCP introduce penalties for "Match Fixing" that merits a disqualification if proven then AT might be worth watchin
also CCP should create a new contest where individuals sign up and CCP assigns them to a team through a randomised system
it would force enemies in game to work with each other in a team context. Would make for even more entertainment. Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless your from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs. |

Can't say that I am, between the events of the last one and the time and effort that is wasted on them by CCP there are better things they can be working on that benefit all of Eve.

Last years tournament really messed up. The cynical play and match fixing made a farce of it.
At this point I think CCP would need to go back to basics with the whole design and aim at accessible fun again rather than simply massaging the egos of the metagaming aristocracy with uber prizes for uber nerds.

Imagine you bought a ticket to see the football world cup final and the players from both opposing teams walked out onto the pitch and started playing the biscuit game after the referee blew for kick off.
Something like that.
