Yeah it is unfortunate that only one race gets the desperately needed new ships. For those that say we are entitled idiots grow up. We pay just as much as everyone else. Also don't tell us to just "train into them" that's a 70 day train time for those with no amarr skills. Stop.

It's pretty realistic to be honest, that the races should develop their technology in a staggered order. Kind of like an arms race between factions. One faction develop a new class of threat and the other races follow on with counters of their own.

Thank you.



I really feel like, at this point, the bulk of their development effort should be in the arena of new ship designs/redesigns (the latter of which, I would argue, do generate valuable interest), combined with QOL changes like the cloning revamp (which may have angered some players, but -- as far as I can tell -- didn't just encourage high SP players to fly small ships, but, just as importantly, generated a lot of buzz amongst fence sitters who like EVE but waffle on subscribing long term).

Things like the asteroid belt effects, while very cool, aren't really a useful utility. There is always room to make graphical improvements, and I do appreciate them, but the list of these potential tweaks is, by nature, endless. We spend most of our time staring at the ships, so new ship models/redesigns are arguably the most obvious and evident changes that you can make in the game. They provide a constant improvement to the visuals, and they give people something new to train towards.

Asteroid belts... sit there and float around. They look better, but what's the point?

Did CCP take on too much work or was it intended to be this slow? Either sounds silly but I honestly would like to know.

Not really looking to comment of what has or has not been promised by a DEV or CCP on the subject so far.

More aiming at current reality, the delay makes little sense to me. The player interaction in the release order is kinda cute I suppose. But the delays can't be this big, as a Gallente boy I was already sad expecting to have to wait 3 extra months (or in CCP terms, wait 45 bucks )

But the slowed down release schedule that we now seem to be on really just makes it silly. Its a unique ship class with unique abilities. As a Gallente (or Caldari or by the slow release even Minnie) pilot I shouldn't be behind the curve this much.

Contest and influance or not, I'm being 'punished' for something I deciced to do before the contest (go Gallente) and had very little ability to influance the release order (whats 1 guy really gonna do on his own?) Nor do I think was it clearly stated what the contest would give, besides an advantage. Many people (including me) would have done more if they knew it was for a T3 Dessie

So as far as I know a very small contest (player base wise, I know a lot of people in EVE (In PVP, PVE, Industrial, High, Low, Null) and not one that participated in the contest. CCP feel free to correct me with numbers maybe I just happen to know all the people in EVE that didn't participate ) has had by comparison way too much influance on something that effects and aweful lot of us.

This should not effect and annoy 75% (is 75% right? Not sure if each faction actually has roughly 25% of the players) of us for 6+ months which is what its starting to look like.

Anyways not to whine, looking to improve for the future, was CCP comfortable being this slow from the start or is that an unexpected by product of actually designing and making the ships? If its the 2nd option I could atleast respect it a little more.

Anyone have an idea, insight or (CCP/DEV confirmed) answer to why its going the (slow) way it is?
