A dev comment on the state of the Caldari railboats, particularly the Moa, Ferox, Eagle and Vulture, would be nice.
I.e., Are the devs happy with their pvp performance? Do the devs think that their balance of range, DPS, agility and flexibility is balanced in comparison with their competitors? If not, are there plans to change them in any way? (cough cough more turrets please!  )

I really think some sort of info on the T2 Battleship BPO is warrented.
I think that BPO's are what give the market a steady supply, they also act as a control on the price.
I never liked even the concept of BPO's untill invention came along. Now the system we have now works great. BPO's are still available as a long term investment for large corps, alliances or investment minded individuals. While invention keeps prices reasonable.
And while I am an advocate of some BPO's I still just really want word one way or the other as to if we are going to see BPO's for these new T2 ships or not. If there are T2 BPO's are they to be distributed via the Research Agent system or some other way ?
If its 100% invention then so be it, but its probably a design decision thats already made.

I am pretty sure that they remove any way to get new ones. They told some time ago that there will be some auctions for new T2 BPO but still they did not have any.

Just updated the blog with some edit notes answering some questions and emphasizing some points I didn't deliver clearly enough.
I don't do detail blogs anymore, that's in the more capable hands of the designer that is responsible for that task when he's comfortable with where it stands. Some of them are already starting their own blogs seeing the enthusiastic replies to this one (yes, they can indeed be motivated with positive feedback  ).
Hope this helps.

Edit note: Long-range is not a reference to weapons range but the ships ability to go deep into enemy territory and stay there for extended periods. It is not a HAC either
I dont get it. Shouldnt that be the black-ops battleship?
And how do you make a ship that has the ability to go into deep enemy territory and stay there for extended periods of time more than the current battleships already can? Does it produce its own ammo? Does it mine in order to do so?
Otherwise it just seems like its got a big cargo bay. :/

Edit note: Bandwidth referenced here is not in reference to your internet connection. It's to un-nerf specialized drone ships and allow more differentation between ships. There is also specific Drone Region content in this update.
Are you seriously telling me that drone ships are going to get a boost? That the stronger ships in the game, considered by most to be overpowered when not in fleet situations are going to be getting a boost instead of a relative reduction in power?

About time, yes. But clarification of bandwidth would be nice. Are some ships going to be able to control more or fewer drones? If so, which ships and what changes?

The focus in this expansion is obviously on Trinity 2, the new graphics, but there are quite a few other things in there and this blog is by no means a complete list. We often find time to get more in and we have more in the pipes already that we want to address. However, this is the list we are comfortably sure about getting done in November. By all means, if you feel there is something we should be addressing, chime in on the ideas forum. Chances are that we're working on it already.
Ask and ye shall receive.

Will Trinity 2 include a Shader Model 3.0 path? or 2.1 or 2.0?
for example Bioshock has no Shader Model 2.1 path so ATI X850s will not work with that game. A shader model 3 path would suggest a GPU upgrade for me (handy perhaps as my GPU seems to have just gone up in smoke!).
Also will the DX10 engine be included in this release or is that coming later? and would you recommend a Shader Model 3 card for speed/looks reasons over a 2.1 card at this time? Or should we just pop out and get 8800/2900s now?
(BTW Shader Model 2, 2.1 and 3 are all DX9 features last I checked).
The Trinity 2 engine coming with Rev III uses shader model 3.0. However it also offers the option to turn all shaders off, allowing it to run on more or less the same hardware that is able to run EVE now.
Do not - I repeat - do not buy a Geforce 8 or Radeon 2xxx series card! You will throw money out of the window!
First generation DX10 cards so far have been shown to lose anywhere between 40% and 75% (yes, 75%) fps when switching from DX9 to DX10 modes in the very same games, and this is consistent across just about all existing DX10 supporting games. If you want a graphics card for DX10 graphics, the ones that the industry sells you right now are a total scam and not worth half the money they cost. They are only as fast as advertised in DX9 mode.
Furthermore - or maybe because of that - Microsoft has just thrown DX10 out the window and finalized their DX10.1 standard. Which is incompatible to current DX10 cards. Furthermore, the new DX10.1 cards (slated to be released around the end of the year) are incompatible to current mainboards. So if I was you, I wouldn't be buying any new top-end hardware for the next year - rather get something cheap and easily replaceable. EVE isn't going DX10 for a while yet anyway, so you miss nothing.
By the way, the hardware industry loves Microsoft.

"These ships will currently enter like all other Tech 2 has entered the economy. Through the lottery and of course inventable."
I feel a distortion in the force as if thousands of players screamed in pain at once.
You know most of us cashed out years of Research Points after official "the lottery is closed". But now i feel fooled.

Clarification on "foward trajectory"? The bomber has to be moving forward?
I would imagine that at the time that the bomb is 'fired', it will be moving with the same speed and direction as the bomber. Thus if the bomber is travelling 1km/s 'west' (for want of directional terms in space), then the bomb will travel 'west' at 1km/s, exploding 15 seconds later at 15km from its launch point. Of course, the bomber pilot will not simply have coasted along by the bomb but will have turned around and (hopefully!) be out of bomb range.
Just an estimate, but this seems like a sensible implementation (assuming it fits with the physics engine).
Additionally, it hardly bears saying, but I'm very much looking forward to these changes - seems like a well-balanced set and the 6:1 ratio is sound!

Here an extract from the old blog...
"How do we then get blueprint originals in the future?
The short answer, is that you don't. When we transition over to Invention, we would accelerate the last blueprint lotteries. It's only fair that the ones that are already scheduled to go out be delivered. But say that we do the transition in Revelations 1.4, we would be accelerating the current schedule by 4 months. After that, Invention - the player driven way to achieve Tech 2 blueprint copies would be the only way to get into Tech 2."

Drones Revisited sounds great.
However, are we going to get some decent shortcut keys for drones, or are we still going to have to use the laggy right-click menu all the time?

It is ufficially an exploit for all I know. or at least a moderator (yes, not the highest autority) stated stated that almost 10 months ago.
Moderators are just ordinary players that sign up to delete posts on a forum. I went ahead and petitioned a GM and got the correct response. Not an exploit.

Please tell me that the lottery thing is a typo?
Invention is already screwed three times (cost to invent, time to invent, cost to build) compared to BPO holders. I was really looking forward to a fair and competitive market for something tech 2 worth building...

You are indeed right and my trusted colleagues have pointed out the flaw in my logic. There have been a number of Invention only releases and we will continue to do so. This is not the lottery you are looking for. It's dead Jim.
