A pointless change that will do nothing but serve to **** people off. Furthermore, if you're going to bring real naval tactics/ideologies into Eve then you're going to have to reconcile the failure of Eve ships meshing to their rl naval equivalents, which would effectively make everything w/ large guns or bigger a capital ship; which would again serve no purpose but to **** people off. It makes perfectly good sense that you need to have smaller versions of larger ships trained, such as Assault Ships -> HACs, Cov. Ops -> Recons, etc. They show more field specialization as opposed to ship specialization. It would also open the door to far too many niche trained chars; like a char that is a max skilled Logi pilot but somehow only has 8mil sp, making it the functional equivalent of a level nerf. Thus, don't do it. Besides, the current skill trees aren't as painfully cumbersome as they're made out to be, they just require more than 3 working braincells; it's the same flawed logic that went into the renaming of meta prop mods and missles. |

This seems like another case of changing something for the sake of saying you changed it. You don't have to majorly overhaul the game every 4 months to keep it interesting/new/profit/etc. The game you have is fine now, just stick to tweaking and rebalancing what you have before you go and breaking it just so you can say it's new and shiny. The last several patches have been nothing BUT new and shiny and have been largely disliked by or at least considered with a level of ambivalence by the playerbase. It also makes it hard to believe that you don't have the resources to get real things done when you apparently have time to churn out bullshit and spend more time trying to make Dust not be a failfest. It's nigh impossible to take you guys (CCP) seriously anymore and it's no wonder that people are dropping like flies. |

1. Why are you trying to change something that isnt broken
"Nuff said". And if the devs pvp'd then they would realize the obvious faux pas of stating that Megathrons/Apocalypses are anything other than plated to high hell; which is what battleships are in any reality, big guns, lots of armor. |

Another thought on the capital ship issue. While any sane/competent/cautious person would wait till they are properly skilled to use a capital ship; that is often not necessary to turn the tide of many battle when they reach that scale. Just the presence of an extra carrier/dread on the field can play a big role both in the percieved threat and in morale, and there is no way for the attackers to know that the pilot of the Thanatos that just undocked has **** poor skills, then just know what that Thanny CAN do. So yes, while knocking off one 30 day skill doesn't mean that you can be a good cap pilot instantly, it does make a bigger difference than can be easily downplayed. |

This is so asinine it makes my head hurt. I have an idea, lets start all walking on our hands for a change. It's a change so it must be good. Just because something isn't broken doesn't mean that it is 'stagnant'. |

I trust CCP to take care of this as much as I trust a meth head in my ammonia warehouse and as much as I trust a Muslim parent with a beheading implement around his daughters and/or wives. |

/sarcasm
Since when has anything on the internet or anything electronic had anything to do with the concept of 'the long run'. If something isn't good people won't play it, even if it MIGHT be good at some random point in the future. |

"If you can fly it now, you can fly it tomorrow." It sounds an awful lot like "the NeX/PI won't affect the market." All promises from CCP mean nothing until they have proven their intent. Remember monoclegate? What they promise and what they do are hardly the same thing, so you will forgive me if I am skeptical of any sort of promise CCP makes because at this point I believe them about as much as I believe a presidential candidate. |
