Can we get a status update, is this a full patch, bugfix, feature specific etc?
As of now its only confirmed that the bloodlines and one carrier fix is going in.
Any other new content going in (Please oh please oh please third battleships, just so long as they are balanced)
Any other bug fixes?
I normally wouldnt ask but the in testing and in development etc sections are empty now.
Also, since I know its a longshot that the new Battleships (As irrelvent as they may be in the capitol age) will be done in time for blood, is there any chance that the concept art for them can be posted? Surprising as it may seem some of the playerbase really likes the Eve aesthetic.

Are these whole new battleship designs, or just variants? Please say they're not variants, that would be a major disappointment.

Suppossedly they are whole new designs.
I'm hoping for a Gallent BS from the Tristan-Celestis family (As the Navitas-Vexor-Brutix family tops off with the Dominix, Moros and Erebus, and the Incursus-Thorax family has the Megathron, the Nyx and the Mothership whose name escapes me).
I'm kinda hoping for a Minnie Bs from the newer thrasher-cyclone school.
I don't really care what the Caldari one looks like, and I've just accepted the fact that the Amarr one is going to look like a Bannanna.

I think this link will work. It's the Gallente one.
Also, it's called the Blood patch, cause they are releasing the new bloodlines.
Edit: Gierling, the Mothership is called Nyx and the Carrier is called Thanatos.
WTB: Gall/Amarr faction BS (Hint: no such thing)

Yeah I think those are the stats though not the actual looks, and last I saw those looked real rough and if they went into the game owuld make every existing BAttleship Obselete.
I'm still hoping for that 8 Turret Gallente Tier 3 with 10% MWD and 10% Falloff bonus... tres uber cool.

there are a few things we can count on:
-- THe model will be ugly.
-- It will defy logic, boosters will stick out in weird places, and there will be wings/spikes/blobs sticking out at random angles.
-- It will be inline with the otehr BS's, slightly better but not so much that it will WTFPWN everyone (I hope)
-- It will be even more ugly than you hope for.

I fly - weirdly enough - Gallente and Caldari BS and Amarr Interceptors and AF. But mostly am focused on gallente and Caldari.
Now.. with Caldari i want to see something like this: Manta Ray Battleship. That would be utilitarian and will be ablt to Fit either Missiles (my preference) or Large Hybrids (I dont know, I think that ship Deserves Missiles) So, sleek, utilitarian, oblong, with hardly any protrusions.
With Gallente something along sharklike machine. But I think, again that Caldari are pretty much deserving of a Manta ray ship :-)

Caldari need a turret BS. 6 turret, 2 Launcher, with turret and tank bonuses.
Gallente need... dunno. The megathron is a great sniper and decent tank, the dominix is very versatile.
Amarr need something with Smartbomb bonuses because I say so :D Again, no clue what Amarr need.
Minmatar need a tank battleship.
Actually, I wish the Tier3 would all be battleship with tank and leadership bonuses. But I'm just babbling.

If the Tier 3 BS doesn't have some special feature it will be pointless imo and will only make sure some of the current BS will be even used less then they are now.
And why do people insist on a gunship for caldari? there are variants for every desire allready, u want rails/blasters, get a megathron.
No, imo the Tier 3 BS needs to have some special feature making it worth to fly it other then it's firepower, and even worse would be if it were actually stronger then the rest, so for godsakes don't let it be an uber PWNMOBILE!!!
Anyways lets hope it won't be either a pwnmobile that will get nerfed once people start whining, nor a mediocre without special purpose ship, but just stuck into the game by ccp to stop the whining 'we need a tier 3 BS!!!' threads.
Having said that, what would u like to see in a tier 3 BS? what special purpose should it get? What i'm curious at, what would validate a 3rd BS?

no tier3 should ever come out IMO
each race should get another tier 1, because the race's primary design ideals are represented in their tier 2.
If you made a new one tier 3, you would have to either make it a beefed version of the tier 2 (uberpoc, uberaven, uberpest, uberthron) - which would be boring - or make it something cooler, like a caldari rail BS, gallente damp BS, amarr big arbitrator or something else
however, having something cool like that as the race's most powerful BS would be, in short, BS

Hmm. Ammar T3 BS is probably going to be a drone ship, after the cruiser whose name i forget. The only other possibility is a ship with a nos bonus (But without some very good balancing this ship would Rip through small engagements).
Caldari is probably gonna be a turret ship, with a 5% range bonus (We know the caldari love sniping).
The second Ewar ship is going to have to be Gallente to maintain any semblane of continuity between races. Gallente = Sensor Dampeners. Probably 6 midslot, 5 low, with only a few highs.
Minmatar is gonna have to be a tank ship or a crazyfast agile autocannon ship.
You wasted 4 seconds reading this post and you'll never get those back. |

Why not introducing a complete new weapon system that will be the same primary weapon on all tier 3 Battleships?
Which will not need Gunnery or Missile skills so every player starts from 0 in that class. (pretty good for the new players to catch up, besides i just started an alt that im jet not 100% sure on what i guns she should go for)
While we at it, why not make other races besides Caldari have a ship that can Jam pretty well.
And for god sakes make the BPO¦s be available in unlimited ammounts from the NPC market PLEASE! (again pretty good for new players and..... my alt :) )

Well by that logic if you're going to give the Caldari a turret BS, then it stands to reason then the Gallente needs an ewar BS akin to the Scorp.
