I'm disappointed. Most of the best stuff for this "expansion" don't really justify being called such.

Furthermore, the speed ninjanerf is still in hideous condition on the test server, ships that you would never speed fit (such as a Raven) are slower than my carrier. 117m/s is way the hell too slow for an un speed fitted battleship, the 145-150 on the live server now is not exactly game breaking.

Interceptors... Well, all I can say is that when I lose the one I have currently I won't be replacing it, interceptors will be the "new" assault frigates, being useless because they now have no role (they are supposed to be tacklers obviously but now can't go fast enough to do the job). People will just use dictors and recons, which had already taken away most of the interceptor's role anyway.

And, the really crappy thing about it is that nanogangs will be probably MORE powerful than they are now! What with everything else being slowed down MORE than the nanos were, made less maneuverable than they are now, they will effectively be "faster" than they are now, and some of the best anti-nano tactics (double webs, interceptors) have been nerfed.

And to add insult to injury, medium drones have been nerfed into complete uselessness, making any ship that doesn't have a drone bay large enough to fit 5 heavies not really have much reason to carry them instead of lights (which will now be able to easily overtake and kill interceptors).

Also, there appears to be no content in this "expansion", and only one new ship, which I probably won't want. Given that the last "expansion" offered me nothing because I live in 0.0 and am in an alliance a second one in a row means at least a 1.5 year long wait for me for anything new.

Where is ambulation? Where are the long promised POS revamps? And why the tease crap?

And I for one don't expect much more than what they dropped with this "expansion announcement". They did the same thing with "empire-an age" and nothing else significant showed up after the initial announcement of faction warfare, not even a single new ship.

So, CCP, we are underwhelmed.
