I will have to wait and see about the T3 destroyers but my initial thoughts are I will not like them so much.
Most of the rest of the stuff seems great.

Sweet!
A lot of unexpected stuff. That all looks really promising!
I'm just worried about the Eagle and Onyx new models, I hope that you didn't moved them away too much from the T1 model. That's what was most dissapointing with the Golem remodel.

Also, also. If you're doing a bunch of clothes with factional leanings, perhaps you can throw in some variants for the semi-minor factions? For instance, Thukkers, Society of Conscious Thought, CONCORD, etc? Right now, we have a few minors (interBus, ORE) released via the Gunner/Marshall series, but otherwise it's all big four and pirates.

You won't GÇö-ánot without a frigate-sized ice miner.
That there is ice in these systems is a little incongruous, but it's not actively harmful.

Like the expansion so far.
Thera looks interesting, and dangerous. Yay!
New systems for us wormhole dwellers to play in. Yay!
T3 dessies...Amarr, so boo, but new T3! Yay!
But that Blackbird remodel... I can't help but ask why the massive redo on it? Our old blocky glove just needed a nose on it so you could see which was was front and we woulda been happy. But blocky is out and....whatever that is is in.

BAH! Barring an oversight in that devblog, looks like you win this round....
It is interesting to think we might get a small scale ice miner. Back when the data mining was going on for the new venture variant, they actually found files for 2 t2 variants (Prospect + ???), and what seemed like a noctis variant. Here's hoping for more ORE ships on the way! |

its odd that ORE is effectively a faction of its own so why don't there ships have the faction icon?

A nice visual touch to the asteroid belts could be a brand new belt has very little debris and dust "floating" in the area. As the miner(s) bust the rocks into nothing and haul them into their ships, the asteroid itself starts spewing this debris and dust until only that is what remains. Or to ~trick~ bots, instead of the asteroid disappearing from visual view, have it as a husk of rock scarred in space with these debris and dust particles around them without any of the normal types of mining rock remaining within. Similar to how a ship turns into a wreck upon destruction.
Strangely enough, upon seeing the dust field picture, I thought of the ancient Atari arcade game "Asteroids" and how those rocks used to get shot down before the large or small ufo appeared and blasted your triangulated ship apart.

It all sounds pretty good, but I've gotta say I don't see why the Incursus needed a remodel. It's always been a fan-favorite as far as I can tell, and there are certainly other ships in much more desperate need of a remodel. Also if you want to change what the Ishkur looks like make it look like the Tristan. There should be a real T2 Tristan now that the Nemesis doesn't use the same hull anymore and the Tristan is the Gallente T1 drone frigate now so it all makes sense. Just as with the command ships, the Assault Frigates for each race could use a different T1 hull shape, and the Stealth Bombers are all different looking now to be easily considered their own hulltypes with no T1 equivalent. I think that would be awesome.

YES. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THIS. Those nebulas in sleeper sites really cause me a ton of framerate drop but the game plays performance issue-free the rest of the time. There really needs to be more specific graphics controls over those sorts of things so that we can tweak the problem areas without having to butcher graphics quality across the board to solve a single issue. |

All of the T2 ships will eventually have "new" hulls based loosely on the T1 version... so I don't think there will be any more "slightly modified from the original" T2 hulls anymore.
I'm pretty happy with that turn of events although obviously there will be some T2 hulls that more closely resemble their T1 origins than others do. I rather like the way the Blackbird hull is being handled, but I also like to occasionally see T2 hulls that pay only passing homage to their ancestors.

yes the account is still there, if you hurry you can activate it before the name is wiped. Otherwise you can make a new char with the old name.
Trails stay to be activated, I did this with one of mine about a year ago, but let it expire as I had no use for a 4th account.. but that might be changing...

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.

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. |

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.
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..
Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists
ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic.

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.

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. |

ah yes , i initially played with a 3rd DDA, but felt beside the cpu nerfing the fit in general, that i won't really need that extra bit of range in most circumstances.. actually you can get comparable dps to the sacrilege with the onyx.

would look better without it .. or at least add it to the other side .. but perhaps they could just leave the lance too the incursus if they really want it too stay that bad and then remove it from the enyo .. might provide a stronger variance in look too then ..
and the ishkur should really be based on the tristan model .

It will probably be a good expansion, especialy because of the clone upgrade removal. It should boost PVP.
Still, it can be better if you really take care of the feedback concerning the new features, mostly about the UI. For my case, the deletion of the options to permit the customization of the colors (RGB sliders) is a real problem as dark themes isn't something I can appreciate. I think that every developers know what it could cost to not give options about the UI since Windows 8.
So, keep up the good work, but please don't do anything wrong...
With the NGE, I'm sorry about the mistake we made. We screwed up and didn't listen to the fans when we should have, and it's not a mistake we're going to make again.

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.
If people are less risk-averse regarding the possibility of losing their skill points, it means there'll be more PvP.

Nice!
Now about Ishukone ships... every new model has had a distinction between gold and black (Eagle, Rhea...), instead of the ugly gradient from gold to black that other Ishukone ships have...
Since the art team itself indirectly admits that its better to not do a gradient of these two colors, could we get a change in the way Ishukone ships are painted? Please

No they aren't (at least currently), they're dark grey.
The polaris enigma is black and red. Kaalakiota ships are dark grey and red. They used to be black and red.
proof
Don't think it's too much to ask to make it a couple shades darker, I fly grey ships all day as a caldari pilot.
If you already did this, then cool. Too similar of ship coloring for caldari is getting annoying, even the nugoeihuvi ships are partially the same old grey.
I guess I could rectify that myself when more skins are released.

Great new changes and only a few more to make eve more enjoyable. I suggest, since you are going down the line of no skill losses with pods etc, that you reconsider and stop the skill loss for T3 Cruisers. It really makes no sense. If you're not going to do it with the destroyers and insufficient pods, then you should do it with the same on the T3's. People would fly them more and fight with them if they didn't have the annoying skill loss. Let's face it, made since before, but now with all of the new skills for drones and ships to be learned, it is not necessary anymore, there is plenty to train, for all but the oldest characters. Please surprise us and complete the no skill loss. Since it seems you want more pvp with the changes and most of us do then make the best one and kill the T3 skill loss. Oh, and complete the circle and playing field and kill local chat in null sec it's not needed as it is supposed to be hard and lawless fun. |

T3's first need to be thumped with the nerf stick on their OP subsystems & the buff stick on their terrible subsystems.
Or to receive the Tactical treatment and subsystems totally removed with it just being a list of optional modes you can change to while in space that change shape. Since only 3-5 match ups ever got used anyway.
Then once T3's are balanced they can have no skill loss.
But right now they are just too good in certain configs and something has to keep them in check. |

Hey CCP... So, we get Skins for Dreads, how about actually releasing the Skins for Marauders that you introduced LAST update.
Or at least gives us a Time when you are expected to let us use them. It's a Cruel joke to have them ingame, but not available..
Actually, Skinned Orca falls under that too. |

CCP, can you please re-do the poor naked Badger-class hulls! 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!)
Nope.
I take you don't know about EVE Classic graphics vs. EVE Premium graphics, nor the polygon reduction effort that followed when Classic was removed.
The Badger had a weathered-metal skin with a red stripes, looking like it had been in space for years (like the old Ibis). It was replaced with a showroom-new and Lego-blocky skin, and nearly all its antennae were removed. Example: It had a Ray-like trailing antenna from the rear top of the hull, and the front "bridge" section had numerous antennas as well (now it reminds me of a Turtle sticking its head out).
I'm trying to find an old picture, but it was circa 2009.
Example; Looks out-of-proportion but all I can find so far

Any word on the status of module tiericide?
It was introduced back in September, a few modules were (poorly) tweaked for Oceanus, feedback on the changes in the Oceanus thread was seemingly ignored, nothing more happened in Phoebe, and nothing further has apparently been announced for Rhea. |

Did you omit news about removing awoxing in highsec because:
a) You realised what a terrible idea it is and decided to fix the imbalances instead (corp kicking and unflagged neutral logi).
b) You're trying to avoid discussion of it because you're set on doing it and want this thread to be a happy place with oohing and ahhing over graphics and none of that nasty non-consensual pvp.
c) You think nobody cares about removing an entire play style, one of the things that makes EVE newsworthy and one of the very few options for highsec pvp.
d) You forgot. |

+1000% this, current pvp system and most important the fleet combat is boring. All you have to do is anchor on FC, click broadcast, press F1. You dont have to control your ship, just click f1 until you get primaried and die.

I suppose, in your world, losing your ship is at once less consequential and less costly than upgrading your clone?

To be honest, I'll admit that that reaction and post was impulsive and not as thought out as usual for me. It is quite a trivial detail, even more so having never suffered the consequence of failing to upgrade my clones. Nonetheless, over all these years, I've come to realize and depend on all the minor trivial details because summed up they make the biggest difference to the mergence of lore and game mechanics into a unique blend that pretty much spells the soul of the entire EVE universe and concept.
Likewise, after more time to think about it, it really is such a trivial thing and it's removal take little away from the actual experience. That, and reducing the amount of "ragequits" due to negligence by subscribers therefore more money for CCP, and everybody's happy!
On another note.... Tech 3 Destroyers! Awesomeness!! Ever since I discovered the excellency of the Tengu-class cruiser, I've been dreaming of and desiring more T3. Whether more new subsystem/hull components or actual complete starships. And, killing 2 birds with one missile, we get a destroyer class out of the deal - a ship type I'd always considered lacking in variety and needing more T1 teirs or advanced variants (like a command destroyer to serve in similar capacity of a command ship battlecruiser but more applicable to the FW battlespace).

I would like to voice my sadness upon reading that Clone Grades and the loss of skillpoints when podded without an adequate clone active will no longer be a feature of this game.
I agree, that the old system was out of date and the idea of charging isk for a higher sp-value clone was not much more than a punishment to older players (although lets face it, if you can't afford a new clone and you have a 100m+ SP character then you're doing something drastically wrong).
BUT. With that said, this was one of the appealing things to eve for me. That idea of loss and risk; It's the same with losing a ship and the modules fitted to it. What's next? Having a WoW-style graveyard where you can go and retrieve your stuff?
I realise that there's a good chance that my viewpoint will be either ridiculed or ignored, and honestly, I don't mind in either scenario, I'm just expressing my disappointment at the removal of what was, for me at least, one of the most gravitational pulls towards this game. |

CCP Has on numerous occasions hinted that this is just the beginning of a series of changes to the clone system. One that stands out very specifically was Pokethulhu's presentation in regards to EVE, Valkyrie, and Dust/Legion clones (possibly) becoming interchangeable and that you'd have a clone for each game all tied to one character. Rest assured, CCP has plans for clones. |

I'm excited to see the new changes, hopefully we'll get a nice preview next weekend at EDU.
I'm also hoping *really, really* hoping we'll be able to use a window mode of the star map. Would be great if window vs fullscreen was optional.
The same would go for the ISIS browser, i.e. ability to quickly place a ship on a mental map of how dangerous / can I attack it. Being an old but returned player, with several hundred ships in the game I find it too hard to quickly learn of a new ship's capabilities at the moment.

Oh, just one little thing I don't like. Rolling out the new UI may be a bit too early. I'd save that for the next release and make sure it just works the first time around. There's still a lot of concerns on the UI and icons and such, needs a lot of work. Please take your time with that before changing something as drastic and fundemental as the game's UI.

T3 rebalancing and work to get them into the PBR world are not coupled to each other. As for questions about ship rebalancing schedule, that's not my area and I'm not sure what's been planned or announced.

There have been a couple significant steps toward changing EVE's lighting model, including linear lighting, which is a prerequisite for PBR and came earlier in the year. PBR is the latest and probably the most dramatic.
Yes, PBR is the final step to make Amarr ships look like ivory and gold, as the design intended. You can see that in the PBR preview from CCP Seagull's dev blog:

Now that there is no skillpoint loss and clone upgrade requirements, I think rats should target and destroy pods. Here's what I'm thinking:
High Sec, Low Sec, Null Sec - regular system rats, missions level 1 - 3
Rats are less aggressive to pods, and in most missions and complexes might leave you alone if you're just in your pod.
Mission level 4+, drones & sleepers:
Much more aggressive to your pod but it takes a while, perhaps after 5 minutes they'll warn you, then open fire after 10 minutes or so. This way you can scout a bit, and even evade them unless they scram and web your pod. Perhaps these missions they try to kill you but won't scram or web your pod.
Burner missions & Sansha:
Will scram and web you, and pop your pod because they're dicks like that.
CONCORD:
Depending on your sec status, CONCORD should be huge dicks.
The benefits of allowing NPC to pod you allows new players to get into the habit of dying quickly and provides just a bit more realism to the game in my opinion.

Quote: No clone grades and no skill point loss on pod death
Clone grades, clone upgrade cost and skill point loss when podded (except when losing a Strategic Cruiser) will be removed in Rhea.
I really hope you will reconsider this decision.
Actual losses and the constant threat of Uncle Darwin is what set EVE apart from all the other mmos out there. I would also like to point out that your logic is a bit flawed in discussing this matter. For the old bittervets it is not the microscopic cost of the clone that prevent some of them to fly interceptors in combat, it is the 2.5b ISK pirate implants. Personally I am about to hit the 92m SP mark and my clone will only cost 10m, this is peanuts you understand? I can make 10m in about 5 minutes or less.
I can understand your reasoning when it comes to new players who are unfamiliar with the system but this could be easily rectified by some sort of warning box. For the first 1 month or so of a character's life a big box appears if the character tries to undock with an insufficient clone. After that you have no one to blame but yourself if you manage to loose a few SP.

Yes, PBR is the final step to make Amarr ships look like ivory and gold, as the design intended.
More than a few of us have been enjoying the steady release of graphics updates, so kudos to you and the rest of the team!
A lot of the snapshots of Caldari ships (including some of the Kaalakiota versions, like the Nighthawk) seem to have a lot of weathering. Was this intended or are these anomalies from specific graphics cards?

Please be aware that the state of ships on Sisi doesn't fully reflect what will be in the release. I can't speak to the state of specific ships because I'm not personally in the art direction loop on that, but I do know that there is a long list of visual notes being addressed prior to PBR going live.

Indeed.. Well then if it's not on their list..
The Kronos (Standard, not the Skinned ones that CCP Devs seem to want to avoid telling us when they will be made available) kinda looks like the skin is from the Lunar Lander's.. Aluminium and Gold Foil.. It's a little weird for a warship.. |

"No clone grades and no skill point loss on pod death"
This change is very disappointing. Instead of removing a mechanic, come up with something worthwhile to replace it with. This is EVE, there should be a penalty for being killed.
One of the main things that attracted me to EVE initially (and still) was the very fact that you can lose your ship/gear and also can lose SP (or isk) when podded. The rush and of pvp is lost when there is no consequence to being killed.
And will this really bring more PVP? I wonder since the same people that are too averse to pay a few minutes of income to replace their clone (or learn how to avoid being podded in the first place) are the same people that are too afraid to lose their ship or implants. They won't PVP anyway.

If you update your clone before undocking again, all you lose is ISK right now. Even if your pod had HG Snakes, that's still only ISK to replace.
The skill point loss from a substandard clone was just a busywork tax: did you remember to fill out form 27b/6 before hurriedly reshipping and running out to rejoin your fleetmates in combat? No? Here, you get to relearn Gallente Dreadnought V. Have a nice day!
Not to mention that, since clone costs scaled with skill points, there was a distinctly theme-park element to the design of that mechanic: essentially, you can only lose what you can afford to fly.

If you look at it that way, losing anything at all is a "busywork tax". Damn you died and now you have to do "busywork" to get a new ship. You have to make isk and deal with buying a new one. We should just get a new free replacement ship upon death since its all busywork anyway. /sarcasm |

No, because the choices I have to make once I find myself back in a station are the consequence of prior planning (or lack thereof), whatever materials the market chooses to provide, whether it makes sense for me to go back in another Moa, and so on. That's complex enough to qualify as gameplay.
The clone upgrade is a busywork tax because it's an unconditional step with no incentive to do it, only a punishment for failing to do it.

Have you never been stuck in a lost station in 0.0 having to jump 30+ moves in hostile country without having an upgraded clone ? If not, try it.. Its fun, and intense when you suddenly land on a bubble with 6-7 people trying to catch you..
The whole point in a game is to have what you call busywork tax, the main thing with the game is that theres a big difference to other online games like MMOS.. Where you can die 1000 times, and all you get is damage to armor..
If you really use a long time to refit, and get back in battles thats your issue..
Ive been playing eve the last 10 Years, altho on casual. Ive never had problems refitting ships after a loss, upgrading clones etc..
If you don't get to go out again, that goes with the game mechanincs, and perhaps your enemy wins the fight, becouse your teammates are bad at logistics.
Thanks,

First: I like EvE a lot, it's one of the most interesting and funny games.
Second: It turns into WoW sooner or later! With all those changes that should make it simpler for newbys you turn away the already playing people! Remember WoW when they implemented this panda-fairy-tale-expansion?! Tons of players stopped to play WoW because it turned into a game for childrens...I don't want to say something against children understand me, but why you have to always make everything "easier"? Just let certain things like they are thats some kind of the core of EvE. You know one change doesn't mean a lot but in the last few month and years you changed a lot such things that is just kidding the older guys in the game. EvE is a difficult game and thats exactly why I choosed it years ago and not because it was this simple to get the best-in-slot weapon/ship/whatever.
...maybe think about this once.

Ah, but you've been in nullsec. Try losing your pod in a wormhole fight some time. Logistics in K-space are at the very least predictable and easy to prepare for in advance.
And I will insist that there is a difference between a busywork tax and actual gameplay, namely: whether you have any interesting choices to make, or only a penalty for not explicitly making the one obvious choice. The former is a game. The latter is a tax.

Question to devs (relative to clone upgrading):
If you will delete clone upgrading, then please can you also delete Corporation-station clone respawn?
Because earlier, you was needed stations only with medical-center, even with corporation-station respwan, because you was needed to upgrade clone after death. But now, everyone will be able to respawn on any corporation-station, even without medical-center, without any problems. Thats not fair, especially for nullsec, it breaks all pvp/pve territorial mechanics.
So can you also delete corporation-station clone respawn? And make it possible to respawn only inside stations with Medical-center? |

Here I am giggling at the thought of the voice recognition giggling to itself and allways returning "The command has not been understood" because of my rudimentary french/russian knowledge, my english skills and the fact that I speak german. The pronounciation of a lot of systems would be vastly different for some even if the command was given in english. Take Bajing - for some reason it's "Peking" in german... granted that's a bit meaningless example as both are latinizations of an entirely different language systems; BUT we could go with Paris.
Paris (with an e sound like in electronics for english)
Paris (with an a sound like amen in german)
Paris (with an a like above but the s is swallowed resulting in Pari' for french)
Yeah ... fun times.
The Blackbird looks cool, as in a lot cooler than the current one.
Incursus remodel... ok. Ishkur gonna look the same? Not sure I'm in that - with the Tristan the definite droneboat maybe spliting AF / Intis up like is/was done with CovOps/HACs would be cool.
PBS looks epic (someone been playing RYSE recently hu? ^^).
The Dreads look pretty slick, nice Space Object Factory results there. THough I have no idea why in the Empress name iB needs a dread ... bashing POCOs in lowsec to make em NPC-COs again or what? Serpentis could make better use of Dreads...
Pirate clothes ... ok. Can I haz Hakama (the english article doesn't have the Iaid+ìka) and a hanger with a fuller-cut one-and-a-half-hander (aka the longsword) for my Cyberknight next?
Or an Amarr Assault Dropsuit with Scrambler Rifle - whatever people usually jousting with several hundred cubic tones of spacefaring doom wear as attire in their spare time. |

Any thoughts on removing the standing requirement for jumpclones?
I don't know why 8.0 corpstanding was introduced in the first place - but since years you won't grind standing but join a corporation, create jumpclones, leave corporation... or fly to Provi space... or...
8.0 standing requirement is somehow useless but may keep new players (unaware of how to avoid the standing requriment) prodly wearing their first +3 Imps away from trying FW, lowsec, nullsec, WH space...
You already don't need standing anymore to anchor a POS and soon clone upgrade costs will be gone, too.

Soooooo, what happened to the next step of the power projection changes? You have so far punished me repeatedly for using my toys and it has resulted in less time in eve and for that I'm sure my girlfriend thanks you immeasurably.
I was excited for this expansion to see what you would do to continue the changes you stared so passionately and decisively. Instead we get a pointless freighter thing that would only be useful if it had a jumpdrive (ironically) and some UI changes that has divided the community again.
I spend my days writing for the games industry, my own articles and many others for many developers and industry publications and it would be nice to be able to write about eve online and use ccp as a benchmark because of what you have created, but for the last 2 years there have been very few ups and a whole lot of downs.

So can you also delete corporation-station clone respawn? And make it possible to respawn only inside stations with Medical-center?
EDIT: i would also suggest to make corporation-stations possible (highsec, faction nations nullsec, lowsec) only with medical center.
Precisely. A simple fix to this massive sweeping change as you correctly point out, would be to make it so that a medical clone can "only" be set at a station with a medical facility.
This small fix would have no drawbacks. The alternative is that medical facilities have little relevance anymore which is not a good situation in any circumstances. |

What I'd like to see in an upcoming release would be a feature which allows us to get NPC stations to kick players who are logged in, but permanently camped in station, out of the station and into space - particularly spambots, scambots, and marketbots.
I think this can be done by implementing a "bribe" system, similar to the team auction system, where players can bid an amount to give to the NPC station to have them boot the target player from the station. To avoid getting booted, the target player would need to offer a counter-bribe, within say 5-15 minutes. The player(s) who initiated the bribe can then bid up the bribe again, and it will go back-and-forth until one party stops bidding and the bid timer expires. If the target player logs off during the process, then he/she could either be prevented from logging back on for a certain amount of time (ie. thrown in a detention cell) or fined a certain amount, based on the last bid for the bribe.
The bribe bids should be an accumulated amount, like team auctions, so that a group of players who are particularly annoyed by a specific station-camped bot, can pool their funds to boot him/her out.
This should make it more difficult and/or more expensive for a 23.5/7 bot to stay camped in any one station.
Ofc, this system could also be used to force relunctant players out of stations during wardecs, too. :) |

Clone grades, clone upgrade cost and skill point loss when podded (except when losing a Strategic Cruiser) will be removed in Rhea. I really hope you will reconsider this decision. Actual losses and the constant threat of Uncle Darwin is what set EVE apart from all the other mmos out there. I would also like to point out that your logic is a bit flawed in discussing this matter. For the old bittervets it is not the microscopic cost of the clone that prevent some of them to fly interceptors in combat, it is the 2.5b ISK pirate implants. Personally I am about to hit the 92m SP mark and my clone will only cost 10m, this is peanuts you understand? I can make 10m in about 5 minutes or less. I can understand your reasoning when it comes to new players who are unfamiliar with the system but this could be easily rectified by some sort of warning box. For the first 1 month or so of a character's life a big box appears if the character tries to undock with an insufficient clone. After that you have no one to blame but yourself if you manage to loose a few SP.
Your point has nothing to address the changes that are coming related to clones in Rhea.
Clone grade/upgrade costs going away - Was nuisance for all and provided no meaningful ISK sink
Clone SP loss when podded - this served only to truly penalize those who didn't know any better (and also brought up the real ethical concern of accrued SP is tightly linked to RL funds spent in the minds of many - and removal/loss of that SP would feel like CCP "stealing" money from those players by reducing the amount of effective SP/Time). Several of the CSM spoke about this and I believe it might have been covered in a dev blog/post as well.
To you point - clone costs are meaningless and insignificant to vets who pay the largest costs. The real cost of losing a pod is in the implants. That is not changing, nor have there been any words leading people to think that this might ever change. I have no idea what you're fussing about.

This change is very disappointing. Instead of removing a mechanic, come up with something worthwhile to replace it with. This is EVE, there should be a penalty for being killed.
One of the main things that attracted me to EVE initially (and still) was the very fact that you can lose your ship/gear and also can lose SP (or isk) when podded. The rush and of pvp is lost when there is no consequence to being killed.
And will this really bring more PVP? I wonder since the same people that are too averse to pay a few minutes of income to replace their clone (or learn how to avoid being podded in the first place) are the same people that are too afraid to lose their ship or implants. They won't PVP anyway.
LOL at the people bemoaning the "Death of PvP" because of a removal of a mechanic that almost NEVER impacts anyone aside from a wallet deduction right after station environment loads. Seriously, ITT, people with nothing better to ***** about.
If they aren't PvPing anyway, according to you, and they are afraid to lose their ships/pods, according to you, and the mechanic change that is "Ruining EVE" is so insignificant that it takes only a few minutes to offset then is it really all that important a feature for you, and others, to tear up so obviously about? I think not.
Look at it this way, since you're "All about the PVP" - you can now skip those few minutes of clone cost replacement time and use that to do more of what you like - PvP. Seems like a win win for you. Everyone else can then finally step past a mechanic that had no meaningful impact on their gameplay experience and join in PvP (or whatever floats their boat) themselves.
For a game in need of more new blood to swell the ranks and keep CCP in the cash positive position that allows for more EVE, we have some of the whiniest players who routinely "show their ass" on the forums over the most ridiculous things.

Draahk Chimera wrote:if you come to my wormhole in a tech 1 hauler and I pod you I want to know that you pay the same prize as everyone else.
Congratulations then because in Rhea you will have the same exact knowledge of what damage cost you caused to a pilot as you did before Rhea. Example:
T1 Hauler piloted by a noob pilot, pop&pod the noob - no implants = you have no idea what clone cost that pilot paid
T1 Hauler piloted by a 2009 pilot, pop&pod the 2009 - no implants = you have no idea what clone cost that pilot paid
T1 Hauler piloted by a 2003 pilot, pop&pod the 2003 - no implants = you have no idea what clone cost that pilot paid
In all three of the above cases, the pilots are still in the Alpha (900,000) SP clone which means it's free and you've done nothing to them other than inconvenience (and of course exploded their T1 Hauler and whatever it was carrying - oh noes).
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/What_happens_when_my_character_dies
All of this is because clone costs are not based on the age of the pilot, but rather how many skill points they have. This is not something visible in any way via in game UI, therefore you have no knowledge of this at any point in game. The only way to see this is if that pilot has made details of their character available through some API (EVEBoard or others). Barring that, you know nothing about what it cost them to update a medical clone. Zip, zero zilch, nada.
So, in short, your knowledge of what a pilot has to pay at the time of death is the same now as it will be in Rhea. It is exactly the cost of the ship+modules+cargo+implants.
Easy-peasy.

If these are the additional Sleeper Data Cache sites in kspace - they are not anomalies and must be scanned down.

So no, it's not about new sleeper sites, or not about caches.

first thing I noticed was the black pod. totally black..
the ships look good, nice and bright. No dust in the belts though.
UI color scheme seems ok. And I like the smaller Icons.
Don't see a change in the map at the moment.
So far so good and the update came on time +1 for that!!

Why not just pay your ISK and buy them from the NES yourself?
