Dramiel nerfs(on sisi)

The Dramiel is losing scan resolution, velocity, CPU and powergrid output, and gaining mass (slowing it further and reducing its agility).

Don't you already have a super thread with this stuff you were keeping updated? Look I aint complaining, you're a gentleman and a scholar doing yeoman's work here but just curious why not bump your original masterpiece.

Keep up the good work either way.

+1

Because there is literally not enough room to add more changes to that post. I don't know if you noticed, but you can only have 6000 characters per post; that's 100 characters per change, which is like 2 words and a URL if we manage to find all 60 changes that go out by release. The post that's already there, I can't add more than 10 words before it is too long without cutting out something else :)

Shamelessly sniping the first page.

Player made orbital infrastructure - on Crucible intro login page?

Off topic posts removed. Please stay on topic.

Link to map improvements would be one of the more recent video blogs

Why is this thread missing the blue dev-tag,
altough a dev posted in it ?

I think it's because the dev post was informing us of a thread clean-up, rather than actually containing useful information/jokes.

Thats a caldari station/outpost. Labratory type if i recall right

I was about to make a more detailed one but you beat me to it, well at least this is more expandable until launch day.

I think corp and alliance chat bulletins are a go...

You know there is something called like "Patch Notes" that comes out ... right?

On SISI the autolinked text is nolonger yellow --- its white and does not stand out near as much

Please fix this -- I hope this is not a feature

From http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=3029

The four racial fuel blocks will be built in batches of four in all stations, plus starbase ammo assembly arrays (blueprints coming to a Thukker Mix station near you; build time approximately ten minutes). Each batch of four will need the following components:
GÇó 8x Coolant
GÇó 4x Enriched Uranium
GÇó 400x relevant racial Isotope
GÇó 4x Mechanical Parts
GÇó 20x Oxygen
GÇó 1x Robotics
GÇó 150x Heavy Water
GÇó 150x Liquid Ozone

Towers will use 1 block/hour for small, 2 blocks/hour for medium and 4 blocks/hour for large. The CPU and Power load will no longer have any impact on your fuel needs - all towers now need the same amount of fuel, regardless of configuration.

Blocks will be 50m3 each. To make fuel bay sizes line up more nicely, we've boosted the bays on normal towers to 35/70/140k, so you get a nice round 700 cycles in each, which works out at a hair over 29 days. (Does not affect strontium bays!)

The one downside of this big-blocks approach is that it's impossible to give faction towers a fuel consumption bonus any more (you can't consume 2/3 of a block). We talked to some large-scale starbase operators about this, and they told us that the main bonus of faction towers for them is actually that they last longer between fuel cycles. To try and compensate for the increased running costs, we've taken the above bay size increases and added +25% bay size on top of that for the "tier 1" faction towers, and +50% bay size for the "tier 2" ones. We're hoping people will find that a satisfactory tradeoff, but we're listening for further feedback on this change.

one possibility is to change it to producing 40 blocks at 5m3 apiece
then having small towers need 10
tier 1 factions need 9
tier 2 factions need 8

Here is the latest update on these ships:

NAGA

• Missile role removed, now focuses as a hybrid platform
• 10% Torpedo velocity per level swapped for 5% to Large Hybrid Turret damage per level

As pointed out, even with the velocity bonus, torpedoes have a too short of a range to be useful in practical situation with the Naga since it has the lowest mobility of all tier 3 battlecruisers and quite poor defensive options. Aligning this ship into a missile platform would have required a long range option as well, meaning the use of cruise missiles, which created a certain number of issues.

Specializing for a hybrid long range platform made more sense with the Naga role, which is why the damage bonus was appealing, especially when combined with CCP Tallest changes; it also makes more sense regarding Caldari tier philosophy, where highest tech 1 tiers usually are hybrid platforms (Merlin, Moa, Rokh).


TALOS

• 25m3 dronebay and bandwidth added

Even if quite in opposition with the tier 3 battlecruiser role design, it adds an edge this ship needs over the other variants, especially since the Naga now it does the same damage with Hybrids. So, while we are looking at the blaster situation, we agreed giving the Talos a bit more survability against smaller threats was a good compromise for the time being.


TORNADO

• Large Projectile Turret Falloff reduced from 10 to 5% per level

The reason for this reduction was mainly due to the range falloff reaches on autocannons when combined with the proper rigs, Barrage and Tracking Enchancers, dwarfing blasters in the close range department; we will see how the situation evolves and possibly make further changes to compensate.


Also, please note some small powergrid/CPU changes may happen to the tier 3 battlecruisers in the next build.

Thanks for your time.

Also I have been told that the starmap is now overlayed into the sky box proper and that all the star gates are now aligned with the stars they are going to.

WTF -- no missile option?? What did u do to the naga? and WHY?

I LOVE it. Better to be good at one thing than terrible at two. +25% damage to railguns might actually make them useful.

Edit: brainfart

The Naga was fantastic for structure bashing! It would be even better if it could actually manage timely damage projection, like what I suggested with the flight speed increase/flight time reduction. EVE NEEDS MORE MISSILE SHIPS!

That's only one aspect. What eve doesn't need is more one trick ponies. More importantly, if Caldari are going to stick to the railgun and missile philosophy, what they really need is more (good) rail boats. They already have superb missile platforms in every ship size, but their railgun offerings are lackluster at best and embarrassing at worst. The Naga might finally be the first truly worthwhile hybrid (and specifically, railgun) ship in the Caldari lineup, outsting the Rokh and everything else that ever almost worked but didn't. It's an exciting step in the right direction IMO. It just needs to be taken a tiny bit further so that people actually genuinely prefer it over other ships for certain situations and roles that actually exist in the current meta.

Unfortunately it really suffers from a case of being all dressed up with no place to go.

I have a question .....

With all the changes and tweaks going on has there been any mention of addressing the existance of T2 BPOs?

New CoP updates

http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=3075

In a nutshell all current will be concord (high sec) and insterbuss (everyone else) interbus has higher tax but is destroyable and replacable with your own. You can set access (ie those with bad or neutral you could charge 100% tax to troll.) or deny access based on standings. And transfer the office to somone should you feel like abandoning. Also warning pop ups and upon death generates a kill mail.

Iam you seem to be falling behind on updates :P

Jita Statue Destroyed due to the riots.

Updated Statue

OP's updated. Have at ye!

drugs ? missions ?
any specifics?

This just in! Rage, Fury, Precision, and Javelin missiles no longer have penalties on the most recent Sisi build!

Missile pilots rejoice!

Shields and Larger electronic footprints.

well I was half right then. I used to remember a tech 2 ammo that ate into your shields though done forgot considering they been removing them as well.

No word yet on what it looks like when you're inside or warping through a sun.

Great Work thanks again.




This is what it lookslike Inside the Sun

Cool!

Does it look any different if you enter warp? Does it do the big black tunnel the same as moons, does it do a white tunnel (which would be awesome), or does it do nothing?

Iam Widdershins,

Has there been any mention or patch notes to inidicate that there are any changes comming to the Rogue Drone npcs, Bountys, or a changed loot and salvage table. There were some earlier dev post from a month or two ago, but nothing recent. Additionally, the dev blog about increasing values of anoms, are they simply adjusting the value of lower end anoms to make them more competitive with the higher end anoms, havens and sanctums. Finally, are all of these updates going to be in the first release of crucible or are the comming out over the course of several months.

thanks

Blueprint type in Killmails

Players can now see whether a blueprint was an original or copy in killmails.

Apparently killmails will now show if the destroyed blueprint was a copy or original. Didn't see that on the list but its on the crucible site

bumping this extremely useful thread, can't believe it fell to page 6

In addition, "Lock windows when pinned" has been removed from the current Singularity build, according to CCP because it is too hard to maintain. This is a travesty, please post comment in this thread telling them so!

CCP has already backpedaled on that - but it's too late to put the lock window function back into the code for the 28th. So it will supposedly be fixed in a "point release".

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=409062#post409062

No word yet whether they will list it as a "known bug" in the Crucible release notes.

Thank goodness. The player is heard!

There's been only one instance in which player feedback produced a terrible result so far, and that's with the Naga being converted to a Hybrid ship and losing its torpedoes. I just think that's a travesty; it was my favorite one, I no longer have a use for it whatsoever.

On the other hand I've seen some very nice looking setups for a blasternaga

I bug reported that the new fuel block BPOs still aren't seeded... (eep).

And text chat was being very strange - not sure if that's a new bug for today's build.

Well, I submitted 2 bugs just the other day and both of them got accepted...

one about lower case L and upper case i looking exactly the same, and one about Nugoehuvi Synth being exactly the same as regular synth after the boost (which now doesn't matter as the drug changes have been abandoned).

Pretty sure market seeding isn't ever a development goal for the test server. Obviously if it's still a thing on the live server report it.

Yes, the devs have stated that specifically within the last few hours in the starbase fuel thread. So we can simply cross our fingers and hope they get it right on release day.

Then again, they included Drone Tracking Computer II in the list, rather than Drone Navigation Computer II, so who knows. Expanded Probe Launcher II is available on the Sisi market and appears under Invention on the T1 blueprint...

I read that a few times and I think one of the "drone tracking" lines in the patch note applies to the capital version. Or it's a typo on the patch notes.

So... whats on your top of the list of cut pushed back things you'd like to see make it next patch Iam?

There is no capital version.




Uhhh... circles around cloaking devices, Ewar drone balancing, and AF bonuses. Also looking forward to shield leadership bonuses being applied instantly (by percent instead of by maximum, making it work more like armor does).

And speaking of alliances, I've heard that those ragtag things will now be allowed to join the empire wars en masse. Which is wonderful! That's all they're good for, fighting and war. Best to put their focus on something like that, and not have them getting in the way of people trying to do proper business.

Rifter?

Trying to guess the mystry ship, none the less my second guess would be the Dramiel again.
