I am very glad to see CCP has hired such a disciplined and tactful developer to act as a spokesperson. I'd rather have no communication than continually be talked down to by representatives of CCP.
Here's a couple tips for a certain poster in this thread:
Pass over the angry players and speak in a neutral, factual tone.
Never forget who is the boss, the player; don't speak down to her, she might stop paying your salary.
Say as little as possible while answering a question; you never know when someone will throw your own words back at you.
Add some general humor to your comments, it might just make the boss (the person pay $15 a month for your game) like you more.
Develop a sense of commonality with people who hold different views. For instance, say, "I see where you are coming from, but we did this because..." That right there tends to help alot.
The players pay the salary, but they are not the boss. CCP has shown many times that they do not compromise their view of the game in favor of mass outcry or threats from the players. If they did we would be playing WoW in space by now. Being talked down too is a small price to pay to maintain the integrity of this game, and i don't really see where they are doing it. They don't have to explain anythinig to us.

I see where you are coming from, I'm trying, believe me I'm trying :)
But if people keep shooting me down with no content, I've got no way of responding.
And I think I'm pretty much boned if I want the players to like me, it's been like this forever, you all hate the man with the nerfstick.

I did not ask the game to be compramised to what I consider best, only to be treated with respect. Sorry, but I don't see how being tactful harms the integrity of the game. You are right, however, they don't have to explain anything to us -- as I said, no communication is better than bad communication.

Logistics should be EASY. People are far more willing to go out and lose ships (you know, play the game), if they know they can have a replacement cooking the second they come back. Adding more work hinders this and will put a damper on 0.0 large-ship gang combat.

We did consider it yes, but came to the conclusion that even if we weren't introducing "Jump Freighters" we'd still want to remove this ability from carriers (since it's not an intended role). We did also discuss not introducing an alternative to the "hauling carriers", to encourage freight runs and make moving stuff in mass quantities more challenging. Thats also part of the reason why "Jump Freighters" are hard to obtain (T2).
Is it just me or that is the most boring part if this game and it makes lots of people consider quitting? I am ok with a bit of hauling but what you are now aiming at is for me a game killer... Small corp get shafted through and through again.
Fulling that odd POS in 0.0 will be a massacre at the freaking gate camps and major/rich Alliances WILL have a score of those jumping around and refueling very effectively their POS.
Now Yes the carrier mod are "nice" we can now bring a built battleship up there instead of 3 unbuilt BUT you can't put general loot in there no more cause you know, they for some XYZ reason have to be taken out when you jump else the thing a magie don't jump no more. MUST be part of the 2 D universal law...
The only difference in this to me is MORE AND MORE jumps to do the same thing, MORE time sink, more boredom, more reason to quit.
Carrier have to be nerfed I agree, what about giving us the option of sacrificing those 100m3 of drones and ships for cargo? modular hangar anyone? No instead you force the carrier in a niche.

I'd love to hear the developers thoughts on the role of titans/mommas.
I for one feel that their role has been nerfed out of the game and will continue to lose usefullness with these new changes. Their seems to be little use in them, considering the costs/risks inherint (sp) in their use.
I've heard a lot of people say that ccp doesn't know what to do with these 2 classes of ships... not sure I agree with that, but I don't think anyone can argue they have a distinct lack of role these days.

Yeah, you can still use deadnoughts or expanded rorquals, however you completely sacrifice your fit and you're nowhere close to being as effective.
It's our opinion that logistics have become too easy with "hauling carriers", and I'm pretty sure the game would become even more fun and intense if people wouldn't always have that replacement cooking and the stakes where a bit higher(this is just my opinion, not necessarily where we're going).

my guess is that all this is intended to kill 0.0 LARGE-ship gang combat, if not completely then to a good part...

You mean besides the fact that you wanted less blobbing and changed the game so it increased blobbing...or the fact that you added more alliance blob mechanics while the servers go down the drain? How long has it been since you announced the 'yarrware'? Fact is EVE had less laggy fleet battles during exodus than now. Just check the old eve videos.

They were the amarr flavour of the month. The only decent amarr ships left.
Quote:
"The thought that anyone would fight in a logistic ship" If you don't see the benefits of using logistics in battle, remote repairing etc. I'm simply amazed, I know the PVP championship doesn't really portray real PVP, but logistics dominated it.
Yeah. A fight with rules and a fixed amount of players are a great example of EVE pvp.

Actually nobody cares about the fit they have to sacrifice because they want to transport stuff, if they want to fight they just refit (like carriers also do atm)

If i'm in 0.0 and i loose my ship and i don't have a replacement i don't think i will have as much fun as the fun i would have if i did have a replacement ship. My idea of fun is to get into a fight and not to run some boring logistics run  Also this idea is pretty much the opposite of what CCP tells us they are trying to do (get more people in 0.0)
Can you also please give an answer to the fuel question ? Atm you just cannot use your cargo hold for items and also be able to jump somewhere.
And another question about the jump freighters, have you also considered the fact within a year most corps will have one and they will not be rare anymore ?

Ok, one more question if you will:
Do you view the ability of 0.0 alliances to project force throughout multiple regions as a problem?
The way I see it, I do not think it was ever intended for BS gangs to cover 40 jumps in 1 hour, or for entire capital fleets to fight on two completely opposite sides of the map in the space of a few hours.
EDIT: optional bonus question:
Taking the above one step further, do you view warp to zero as a problem?

Well, I'm afraid not. A whole lot of people like TomB for example and he was the sole responsible for nerfbat for years. It's not the nerfbat, it's that person who wields it make poor choices.
For example one page earlier you slanted one player that logistic ships are used in tournaments and thus in pvp, when he clearly meant logistc ships as "ships you use for POS logistics (ie iteron V, carrier loaded with 5B of fuel etc). Ask yourself what was the point of that?
Because for us it seems you either so desperate in need to win discussion you have to blantanly twist others words, or so unwise you failed to understand what that player wrote. (or alternatively - just skipped through post and got that one sentence totally out of context).

So apply the same logic to carriers - allow them to continue their logistics role at the expense of their combat capabilities. Nerfs are simply the neanderthal's way of dealing with a problem.
Quote:

Out of those who share "our opinion", how many of you have ever dealt with large-scale (or hell, even small-scale) carrier logistics for corps and alliances?

Aside from being more wrong than you can realise, the stakes are exactly the same. The ship still costs the same amount for the pilot. All you're doing is putting more time into the boring, useless bits of the game and directing it away from EVE itself.

its very good to see somebody clearing the confusion that rages in theese forums for weeks now.
i have 2 questions i would like to ask you:
1) drone recharge: can you pls clarify what you intend to do with that change? i use a dominix for missions alot, and sometimes for pvp. in pvp this change means that my main weapon is destroyable now without a real counter, and i don't see remote repping as a real alternative because of the range. as it is i can scoop and relaunch drones, what takes about 3 seconds under optimal circumstances, so loosing ca. 1400dmg in that time.
i have alot of them in both my ishtar and my domi, but no endless amount. and i can't kill others peoples mainweapons anyways (if i can't force him to overheat them for a long time somehow ), so i honestly don't see the need for that nerf.
2)black ops: first, can i use the jumpbridge in empire? if so, do i need a faction standing of 10.0 for the actual space to jump in and/or use it, like stated in a blog i don't find anymore unfortunately?
second, are the SISIstats on thoose final, or close to final? especially the sin's tII bonuses seem to be very mismatched, 5% agility is not exactly the essence of my wildest dreams... is that one only heavily prenerfed and might become better?
and is there a chance they in general get the ability to use covert ops? i must admit i'm not a very rich player, and atm neither the marauders (which are somewhat meant to be pve ships as i understand) nor the black ops attract me alot to spend such an amount of isk for.
as i spent a very long time now focusing on bs-related skills and leaving for example command ships alone to have decent (perfect?) skills when tII bs finally hit tranq, i must admit i'm rather disappointed in the sin in its current state.
thx alot
We decided to change the drone recharge because people were basically "exploiting" it, by like you said scooping them and launching them directly again, in PVP. It was mostly being done by people using "Sentry Drones" but we decided to remove the instant recharge from all drones. The drones will however recharge at a normal rate (like the shields) while in the drone bay.
You can use the covert ops jump portal in low-sec, same rules as capital ships basically. You don't need any standings or anything to do so, at least not that I'm aware of. The SISI stats for the T2 BS are pretty much final. The Black-Ops ships are pretty expensive ships, and will probably not be used in close range combat. The agility bonus was to allow the Sin to scoop up sentry drones, and accelerate quickly to warp out.
We're probably never going to allow the Black-Ops ships to use Covert Ops cloaks, they do however get bonuses to normal cloaks. (you even go faster while cloaked)
Sad to hear that these ships aren't attractive to you, I'm really excited about both of them myself (mostly the black-ops though).
Hope this answers your questions.

It's not a problem if the alliances have the infrastructure and manpower to actually harvest and build up those regions. However when alliances claim space just to claim space, maybe we need to look into something there.
Originally by: magnus amadeus
The way I see it, I do not think it was ever intended for BS gangs to cover 40 jumps in 1 hour, or for entire capital fleets to fight on two completely opposite sides of the map in the space of a few hours.
Travel times have gotten a LOT shorter, yes, but it's not really a horrible thing. A fast moving fleet should be able to cover decent distances relatively fast. A capital fleet should however have a little more problem moving around and take more time and logistical work (than the battleship fleet that is).

EDIT: optional bonus question:

Nope.
Originally by: magnus amadeus
EDIT II: sry if this sounds like a reporter, just questions I think myself and many amarr are interested in (well my first post) and I think 0.0 and low-sec are interested in the question presented in this post.
BTW: We don't HATE the nerfbat guys, just sometimes disagree with their decisions and viewpoints. If I really HATED anyone at CCP, I wouldn't be posting here or paying for eve.
Fair point :)

If he was talking about "ships you use for POS logistics (ie iteron V, carrier loaded with 5B of fuel etc), then no I don't think we ever expected to see Iteron MK V's on the battlefield. We did however expect to see carriers on the battlefield, but we didn't expect that people would actually use them as fuel haulers. It was never their intended role. They were however supposed to be great logistics ships, by bringing spare ships to the front lines and very good at supporting other ships in battle.
Hope that clears up that misunderstanding.

Since this is the cool thread to post in and get a reply from the devs.
I have concerns about Super caps atm.
1) If a Titan goes to low sec to get more ships for his fleet, and he gets scramed, how does he defend himself (keep in mind that no one has ever really fit guns on these ships). Is the answer always, the support fleet should be able to help him??
2) To balance the ability of ships to tank the specific damage type of Titans, can we change the fixed damage type that Titans can do? E.g. How about let an Erebus fit a Judgement? This gives them a better chance to survive, as now every Titan pilot is in address book so they know what is coming every time.
3) When is bumping going to be fixed?? A BS bumping a Titan is the equivalance to a 200lb man trying to push a moving 3500lb car off its vector! This is unacceptable and is one of the biggest reasons (besides lag) that these things die.
I think those are my questions about Super Caps, thx if you can answer them.

I normally try to avoid this type of thing, but here we go.
1)When you guys added the armor compensation skills, did you realize that those would eventually create to the dreaded omni-tank of doom, and do you still see it as a problem?
Neither me nor Nozh were in the balancing team when these modules were introduced. However I can imagine that when they were designed people realized they would be useful. If I remember correctly they were in game for a while, mostly unused, until they were boosted to their current stats, making them a lot more efficient than they were.

2)When you say they are "lacking something" is it possible to elaborate on that? Would it be clear definition of the roles between ships? I ask this because Amarr now have a missile line, a tanking line, a ganking line, and a drone/ew line of boats, so they do not lack in variaty anymore IMO.
I have to be vague here, but my personal opinion is that Amarr lack some "oomph".

3)Do you view the racial resitance bonuses (+10%) as somewhat imbalanced or fine(10% being +25% for minmatar, while being +11% for amarr)?
The Minmatar resistances to EM are quite ridiculous in my opinion.

4)Will CCP try to continue and keep the -10% capacitor use per lvl on amarrian ships?
We haven't really looked at anything that would take that ability away from them.

Now to the meat of it. Its no secret that certain amarrian ships are lack-luster. The omen, prophecy, maller, punisher, apocalypse all suffer from a lack of damage coupled with a lack of versatility when compared to other ships within the amarrian line and racial contemporaries. Do you, and by extension, CCP share this point of view?
I think we could do something to make these ships more fun and useful. Do you have any ideas? Note that we have at no point sat down and said "lets tinker with Amarr". I'm just talking theoretically here :)
