Not that i want to complain about it, the exchange for the Covert Ops Cloaking device is good enough. Just not sure if it's a mistake or intended. You are correct, the Prospect doesn't have extra warp core strength, as the covert cloak handles that function. Hope you guys enjoy these changes, I'm heading to the fight them pub crawl so I won't be answering questions tonight, but rest assured I will be back later to read everything. Cheers!
Fozzie, awesome on the ship. I love it. But it is missing one very important thing. The ability to Ice Mine! Why can we not have a ship like this which can mine ice? That would be perfect. |

How so, petulant much? |

In fact the hole of fanfest has been a let down so far. How so, petulant much? Petulant - A word so rarely used - And not really appropriate in context. Negative or closed minded may have been better choices. One could say you are being overcritical of another - but that isn't fair either. I agree many of the proposals for summer are somewhat underwhelming - Not being petulant by any means, just stating an opinion.
It is more the manner in which you state your opinion which makes someone come across as petulant. Nothing wrong with criticism, but how you voice your criticism is what matters.
As for fanfest being a let down, I think there is a lot of interesting stuff on the horizon, although it seems as though everything is being finalised so they didn't have any high quality demos or models. The warp effects are pretty awesome, although the tech demo did them little justice for instance.

I still like it, but some parts disappoint me.
My biggest problems have already been mentioned by others but I wanted to summarize them:
1. still only 2 turret slots.
I hoped for an increased gas mining capability as this is a more specialized Venture
2. gas mining in null sec
It is very hard to run gas sites with two or more people because of the explosions. If you are unlucky even your own gas harvesters can kill you. The only way to be relativley safe is to bring another guy in a logi cruiser
3. finding the gas sites
I hoped for at least a little scan bonus in order to find those sites easier.
Who cares about gas, we already have a very decent gas mining ship. What we need is a ship which can mine ice in hostile space. This would be great if it could equip ice mining lasers. |

I did a little working it out if I figured this right you should be able to fit it this way
High
Miner II x2
Covert Op Cloak
Mid
Invulnerable II
Medium Shield Extender II
Afterburner
Low
DC II
Mining Upgrade II x3
Rigs
EM Shield
Thermal Shield
That will burn a lot of Ore
You can get the AB II on it with maximum skill in mining upgrades. And just under 800m3/min yield. |

CCP Fozzie wrote:Hey everyone. Thanks for the feedback so far.
I just got back to work after a bit of post-fanfest death plague recovery. I'm working through a bunch of threads to catch up on what was discussed over Fanfest and the last two days.
I've now caught up on this thread and I'm glad to see how many players are excited by the concept of this ship.
Quick note: I'm not worried about the Prospect being used for afk FW farming since as of Kronos it will be impossible to cloak within capture range of a FW button.
Hey Fozzie. Good to see you back. Is there any chance of allowing a covert ice mining ship in future, or even better allowing this one to have a bonus to ice miners?
That is the big gap still missing in allowing industry to thrive in null and low sec. |

Great to hear that. For my organisation in particular who live in NPC 0.0, the ability to use a ship like this to mine ice would mean we aren't forced into importing it from high sec. I'm sure it would help many others also. |
