With regards to WASD, will there be camera options to have the camera swing into place following the ship's motion so you can see where you're going?

From my view CCP is removing with that one of the unique features of the game. Till Rhea it was possible to loose everything without 900k SP. After Rhea Eve will get a tiny step more into the direction of Theme Park Online.
This is a pretty poor way of looking at it. Clone grades do not add any nuance to the game GÇö-áthey just add more busywork that you are punished for (in a uniquely unusual way!) if you fail to perform the busywork. The amount of money clone grades removed was never meaningful and I doubt anyone will really notice.
Taking things that perform their intended purposes poorly and eliminating or revamping them is hardly an indictment of Theme Park Online transformation.
Clone grade removal is on the same platform as the removal of learning skills, and (hopefully) the removal of learning implants.

Hate to point this out...but InterBus isn't a Gallente company. It's a completely separate faction; it'd be like saying that you're coming out with an EoM edition raven or something. Why choose something as off as that when you've got such a huge group of gallente NPC corps to pick from? |

Also: Fix the UI as suggested in the feedback thread. It is horrible and barely usable at the moment.
the jackets are a bit bland and too samey

Eh, it's not that out of line. Heck GÇö-ágallente NPC corps sell moros blueprints on the open market. Who's to say that Interbus can't pick up one of those and start cranking them out for profit, using a swank paint job as a value-add?

the new Falcon/Rook/Blackbird models have something to them, they look very much like Ewar ships. What I especially like is the fact that they have distinguishing features on the model. Can we have this for the other T2 variants of T1 hulls, too? Like the Condor/Crow/Raptor, or Crucifier/Sentinel, and basically all the following updated models? |

What's wrong with the Eagle and Onyx? Haven't flown an Onyx yet, but the Eagle is pretty amazing. The range of the medium rails is absolutely outstanding and I rather have that than more damage. For sniping and long range engagements, the Eagle is a very capable ship comparable to something like Cerberus, Muninn and Ishtar. It's certainly not something for small engagements where you don't have the numbers for sufficient DPS, but if fills a very nice niche role and has its unique usage scenarios. |

Losing skill points because of forgetting to upgrade your clone is not a good game mechanic. Especially when the clone system isn't set up with enough attention for the user to make it abundantly apparent that they need to upgrade their clone. If you're in a large fleet fight, thinking about upgrading your clone before getting back into the fight is one of the last things on your mind. This is a Good Change that really has no downside.
That said, losing skill points because of your choice to utilize a t3 ship and lose it is an excellent game mechanic. T3 ships are very strong and versatile, and rightfully so, have additional risks in flying them. I would like to see more of these risk/reward options come into development (T3 Destroyers!)
Despite me perpetually bashing on CCP for certain game design decisions, these changes are some really good decisions and I'm looking forward to what they continue to bring our way. |

if i want too snipe why would i want a slow fat effectively brawler type ship that for some reason has lots of range plonked on top of? i can pick a talos too the job with better dps and range without training HAC's too do it or use an ishtar with much better dps and flexibility.
Onyx is atm only worth using in 0.0 or maybe wormhole/ Low sec ops .. ok if you live there i suppose .. although flying them is probably suicide ...

i still think its silly you cant use the scripted point in high sec .. and be reppable with the scripted version ..
along with removing science lv5 as a prerequisite or remove graviton physics from it.. a science skill shouldn't be needed for a combat ship.. then maybe i would fly an onyx in anything other than a wormhole
Show me the Talos that can reach 177 km range, both locking and weapon range, with at least some resemblance of tank. The Eagle is not meant for brawling, that's why it has a range bonus and not a tracking bonus. If you want to brawl with blasters, you have to use the Deimos.
The Ishtar on the other hand is bound to its drones, you can't fly too far away from the enemy or you can't activate the drones on them anymore. And you constantly need to keep the range of the drones from the enemy in consideration as well. And drones die, which leaves the Ishtar very quickly without anything to fire. The tracking is also lackluster after the last round of nerfs to the Ishtar, whereas enemies always have to follow your Eagle around -- you can fly straight away from them, and have absolutely no problems with tracking.
That's the point of the Onyx, of all Hictors to be quite frank. They are not meant for damage or something, they are meant to be tackle for big ships and mobile (the real mobile) bubbles. There should not be another use for them. Sure, a bit more DPS is fine, in order to not have a "worthless" ship in your fleet ... but that is the completely wrong and warped perception of the players, who only want more DPS and don't see the point of different roles in fleets.
Why is it silly that you can't be repped with the focus point active? If the remote repair was possible with the point on, there would be absolutely no way of killing these ships with your cap, making the Hictors highly imbalanced.
Why should Science V be removed? You activate a highly sophisticated module that uses various scientific effects. A basic understanding of these is mandatory to be able to use these effects properly and to know what you are doing. It's not something like the current drone problematic in RL where you should expect that people use more common sense when they use these drones. The bubble generator is something a tad bit more complicated and totally warrants the training of Science V and Graviton Physics. |

i think you failed too understand how powerful ishtars are.. how much did you read the HAC thread??
sniping at 160km .. talos and naga mind can do that just fine .. and who fits tank too snipers fighting at that range anyway??
Eagle and onyx are both niche ships .. they perform one role only well.. neither of which suit HS gate fights .. where as my ishtar can perform either role at just fine..

I find it rather ironic that CCP went through a polygon reduction phase, ruining many ships (like the Badger-class hulls being stripped of all antennae), and now are reportedly pushing the polygon limit (with ships like the Bowhead).

I don't need to read the thread, I fly Ishtars almost every day in a variety of scenarios. Then you are solo-sniping with hit and run, that's something different from fleet sniping or fleet longer range fights. An Ishtar would need 4-5 dronle link augmentors to reach 180 km, or range augmenting rigs, which either use immense amounts of CPU or reduce the CPU severely, effectively limiting the Ishtars fitting in other aspects. The Eagle has none of these problems. The Ishtar certainly can't perform the role of the Onyx, that's completely impossible.
Yep, and the niche is perfectly fine. They don't need to perform well in High sec gate camps, other ships excel in that category already. They don't need to serve your purpose as long as they already have a properly used purpose.
Also, as far as I know, Hictors could use their point on caps in High sec and prevent them from jumping for a while just recently. Was a bug. |

Hrm, might this actually be the LODs you're seeing? CCP within the last year or so introduced Level Of Detail based rendering to ships, that make them take less polygons to render the further away they are from the camera. Try zooming in on the ship and see if the antennae reappear.
(I don't know if this is actually the case or not, but it might be!)

Drone activation range with 2 DLA is 133km. Unless you use rigs. And DPS brawling is not a role of the Onyx, in any area of space. Using it for that and not meeting results like a Sacrilege or Deimos, or your Garde/Ogre Ishtar, is not completely unexpected. |
