Greetings Capital pilots!
As I'm sure many of you are aware, tomorrow we are bringing you an extensive update to the Capital Ships of New Eden. This involves many moving pieces so to make the transition as smooth as possible we're making this thread to detail what you can expect to find when you log in after tomorrow's downtime.
[NOTE: THIS TRANSITION IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU HAVE A CARRIER OR SUPERCARRIER OR ANY FIGHTERS, PLEASE READ IN FULL!]
Fighters & Drones
- Existing Fighters are being multiplied by 6 (Their size & construction costs are reducing by a similar amount).
- Existing Fighter-Bombers are being multiplied by 4 (Their size & construction costs are reducing by a similar amount).
- Fighters will be moved into the new Fighter Bays of their respective ships.
- Fighter manufacturing jobs will have their outputs multiplied appropriately.
Carriers
- If your Carrier DOES have a triage module fitted during the patch: It will be converted into their factional equivalent Force Auxiliary!
- If your Carrier DOES NOT have a triage module fitted during the patch: Nothing will happen
Drones in Carriers/Supercarriers As drones can no longer be used by these ships, we need to move them to an appropriate location.
- For character-owned ships, this will be the hangar bay of their home-station as listed on the character sheet.
- For corporation-owned ships, this will be the corporate HQ
- For ships owned by neither a character nor a corporation (such as ships in a contract) we'll put them in the ship's main cargo hold, and then let the new owner sort it out when he gets the ship.
Force Auxiliary Skills We were planning to refund all isk spent and sp trained in the now defunct Force Auxiliary skills along with this conversion. However we have encountered some complications that mean that we do not feel confident delivering this tomorrow. This will still happen in the coming weeks (Or at the latest by the next release). Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!
Thats it! Hopefully this should clear up any concerns you may have and leave you with all the information required to be ready to go as soon as the patch hits.
Fly safe!

Celthric Kanerian wrote:So buy 1 fighter today, then have 6 tomorrow, then sell all 6 for the price of 6 fighters before?
Would that be considered an exploit? If you manage to make a profit that way I would consider it shrewd business

Fly safe! This does not apply to supers. It definitely does, as they are losing their Drone bay and gaining a Fighter bay.
