Happy days.
Happy happy days!
Thank you - thank you very much 
I could go on... but I'll just tell you why i'm so pleased, since you created a thread for it:
First of all - my Hurricane looks awesome. It used to be a shovel, now it is a glistening knife of death.
I can now look at my Typhoon without being sick. In fact it's lovely!
But most important of all - Gallente ships! I'm tempted to train for them now, and am baffled by all the derision they're getting. They are tough-looking, graceful boats (yes, despite the colour - I thought the old colour scheme was ugly), and now they no longer look like cartoon or balloon animals... well done.
I'll probably get flamed for this, and I don't care - because no matter what one says on a public forum it will attract vocal vermin of one kind or another, but I think some people need to read this:
Yesterday I thought CCP had removed bounties, as did many others, because of the new payment scheme. So what did I do?
I trained salvaging, and set up a salvaging ship, and went off salvaging my missions. Then I realised, and parked it back in the hangar.
My point is this: No matter what you do, people will whinge because they feel they have the right to dictate to you, as customers. This is a misguided mindset - all they can do is quit, which doesn't affect you because by failing to succumb you will attract more customers (your game will be better).
When I thought bounties had gone, I thought "B*****ds!". But then went about manipulating circumstance to my benefit, which is what the whole game's about! I wish peole could see that a nerf to you is ALSO a nerf to your enemy. It really sickens me to see all the smack on this forum, because it doesn't represent what has been achieved.
All it represents is the stubbornness and lack of wit of the players who now have to make minor alterations to their strategies, when what has been achieved is remarkable.
Even on the lowest settings (computer a little out of date) it looks stunning. The whole galaxy is much more compelling, rich, and intriguing. I can't quite explain it - Eve is just nicer to look at, and spend time in, than before...
Glad I don't have to salvage, but I'm prepared to do it if I need to. To cut a long story short: Don't like something? Adapt.
Thx for reading.
