Carriers spidertanking makes capfights pretty boring, but at the same time 20 dreads kill a non spidertanked cap in seconds, does ccp have any plans on adjusting this?

Are you working on a UI Overhaul, both functionality and graphics wise?
Will the website & forum ever be updated, both in looks and more features?
Will Planets ever be huge and more realistic?
Could you increase the size limit and resolution on signatures on the forums? :D |

Edited by: Batolemaeus on 24/10/2008 14:43:13 I've been into exploration for quite some time, and made a few threads about it.
What i'd like to ask is, do you plan to build more into the current exploration mechanics? In my opinion it could counter a lot of problems we have currently, and be a mighty tool to make eve more dynamic.
So, my question comes down to one thing:
Belts. In Exploration. When? |

1. Can we please get a total UI overhaul, so you recode the whole UI so it doesn't suck quite as much? 2. When will you kill off blobs? What is your plan? More goals for 0.0 warfare which doesn't encourage blobbing? 3. When will you expand 0.0 with more regions? Maybe make it harder to claim whole regions for alliances? 4. Exploration is getting static and stupidly time consuming. Any plans for a bit of love for that? More variation please? Maybe more things to do than just the 3 types(Mag, Radar and Unknown) which are currently even worth doing(The first 2 are hardly even worth it anymore). 5. Force multipliers are the flavor of the month. Any changes to that after you nerfed nano? 6. Will we get T3 ships? More flavor in ships perhaps? 7. When will you remove local and improve the intelligence tools we have?

My only question: What in the Flying Spaghetti Monster's name makes you think that not having a skill queue encourages more playing?
I have a limited amount of time I can devote to the game, and no skill queue will change that. In fact, not having a skill queue slows down my progress, so I have to wait longer to get to the desired level to do some things or fly some ships (I have a pile of lvl2 and lvl3 skills that I find difficult to train without wasting precious training time.)
A 12 hs. (or two skills at a time) skill queue will be enough for me and most people with a regular job to train at least one 3 to 10 hours skill and keep the training pace of other people with more time to play.
So, to make it short, why you think that, but putting things harder for people like me, you will encourage me to play more? If I need certain skill to do something in the game, and that skill ends up at 3:00 am on a working day, do you think I'm going to wake up to change skills? And do you think that I'm going to start playing at 3:00 am? And if the skill ends in the middle of the morning, while I'm at work, do you think I'm going to leave my office (I can't install anything at work without the SysAdmin's approval) to go change the skill at home and start playing the game? While at work?????
Explain your reasoning, please. Thanks. ----

We all know that sometimes CCP is aware of a situation that is possibly fubar, but takes a while to get around to fixing it, because it's low priority.
Is the fact that t2 ammo penalties stack for each gun in which the ammo is loaded one of these? |

First of all kudos for Zulu for doing this <3 nice to see this kind of thing happening.
QUESTION TIME, GO
1) How viable should solo PVP be? 2) Are mechanics that encourage bringing more people good because they encourage cooperation, or bad because it makes an individual more meaningless and discourages certain playstyles and tactics? 3) If I am in a solo roaming ship X, and I jump (not warp) into a well-organized gatecamp, should I die, either on that side of the gate or upon burning back to the gate and jumping out, where X is... AF Interceptor HAC Recon BC SB 4) Are you concerned that making ABs the superior module for tactical maneuvering and damage mitigation is problematic, since the reason MWDs are fit on basically every ship isn't to mitigate damage but to burn into range / out of range / back to gates? In all of these cases the speed boost from an AB is not sufficient and the MWD boost is needed to be able to avoid blobs and not die to any random old gatecamp you encounter. I feel that without giving ABs the ability to use scripts / charges / huge overload bonus which enables them to be used to burn back to a gate in times of "oh ****, gtfo", all of the effort spent balancing AB/MWD will go to waste since the MWD will be just as mandatory and fit just as often as it is now. Do you understand my concern, and do you agree/disagree?
P.S. Would someone pass on to the art department that the orca is super duper sexy? |

1.) will there ever be a new class of missiles? ie: some sort of fast moving high dmg (to ships not structures) missile?
2.) If you were going to give a rough estimate of when we can expect Ambulation - when will that be? ie: Q2 2010? or something of that broad nature
3.) In the eve store there are battleship models for sale. Will there ever be any other types of models? Possibly ones under 100 USD?
4.) Very briefly what future plans does CCP have to go after illegal isk sellers?
5.) In short will hi-sec ever be nerfed? It seems crazy to me that you can chill in hi-sec and make just as much money running level 4's as risking your nuts in 0.0 ratting. Risk and reward between security systems should be rebalanced IMHO.
Thank you! |

One of the ideas speculated upon for an increase in the complexity of Industry was the possibility of introducing components to the T1 manufacturing process with the potential of Meta T1 Production being enabled as a result.
Given that the next expansion will be pitched towards industry, has this idea been given consideration, and if so, what are CCP's feelings towards this? |

Ok, i have some few questions here.
1. Is there any plans on fixing the few things with the Tempest that we have now?. Like the Tempest that have more shield than armor when the ships is more an armor tanked ship. Will the Tempest get any shield and armor hp exchange ever?.
2. Will there be any fix to the projectile ammo (EMP for example)?. Like get the damage on EMP L ammo for example up to what the Antimatter Charge L ammo are on, or the other ammo types?. Even when the EMP L ammo and Antimatter L ammo have the same damages, the Blasters will still take more damage then Autocannons. So i see no problems with that.
3. How much beer do you want me to give you when i'm coming to the Fanfest next year?.
Alright, that was my questions so far. I might update my reply here if i have more questions to add. |

1. When will we see ambulation? Ballpark would be nice since many thought it was coming in Midas
2. Will Midas remove material penalties for specific POS arrays (e.g. component assembly array, ammunition assembly array)? Does CCP see POS's as a way to relieve manufacturing slot congestion in high traffic areas, or is it not on their radar at all?
3. Will we ever be able to run reactions (reactions, not moon mining) in High Security space?
4. Will the change to webifiers in the nano-nerf affect people's ability to use webbing to make freighters enter warp quicker?
5. Given all the nerfs that super-caps have gone through and given that they are far more vulnerable (especially moms) than they were on initial release, is there any intention to allow them to dock?
6. When will CCP develop a jump planner tool similar to whats is available on EvE-ICSC. Why has CCP out-sourced this kind of functionality to its customers when it should be available in-game?
7. Will CCP develop a secure method for trading ships that cannot dock, e.g. Moms and Titans?
8. Secondary markets: When will EvE have a formal stock market trading system?

Edited by: RedSplat on 24/10/2008 15:32:06 How many of the developers actively play the game in something other than an NPC corp: also perhaps some of them would like to write/comment about their favourite aspects of EVE and what they personally would like to see happen in the future?
Is the sentiment that 'blasters will be fine' (paraphrase) after the speed rebalancing one shared by the majority of the Dev team or does this represent your personal view?
Do AC's need to be looked at and re-balanced?
The proportion of players that post on or read the forums with any regularity is rather low, in addition few people get to see proposed changes first hand. Do you think making an effort to encourage more players to jump on the test server would be a good idea? At the least your 'quality' of feedback might improve- or at least become invective with a grounding in truth.
Do you think changes need to be made to gameplay that promote small gang warfare?
Do you think you (and anyone else involved in future dev-blogs) could please avoid making vague statements- please?
P.s. Nice idea

My questions:
1. What steps are being taken to ensure that blaster ships remain viable in light of the upcoming speed changes? A large portion of the playerbase that has adopted this playstyle feels ignored when all the evidence suggests that their concerns are valid.
2. Can you release any solid plans on the future of the Black Ops battleships, other than to say that they are getting a fuel bay? More jump range? Ability to jump a fair sized cloaking gang a reasonable distance, ignoring cyno jammers and to also have a useful combat role in their own right?
3. Can you please reduce the price of bombs to a level that is line with other ammunition?
4. Ships such as the Arazu were hit very hard with the nerf to sensor damps. Are there any changes planned to restore there usefulness, perhaps with a boosting of the ship bonus, or even the addition of a module similar to signal distortion amps for dampers?
5. What reason can you give for the inability of Stealth Bombers to warp cloaked? Is there any scope for this to be changed?

1. How will the nano nerf affect guerilla warfare? you have once said it was possible in the past before nano ships were used as they are today, and you are correct, but back then 0,0 didnt have things like jump bridges and large bubbles.
2. Why the speed reduction on battleships currently on sisi? dont you feel that ships like the megathron is already slow enough as it is?
3. how will the web nerf affect blaster ships chance to hit smaller targets? and is this something you are looking into?
4. why the nerf of medium drones? i havnt seen a single post in my over 4 years of playing were anyone has complained that medium drones are overpowerd.
5. Will Minmatar get a boost now that you are nerfing one of its biggest assets(speed)? they have the worst dps, the worst optimal, the worst tanks(tempest/muninn anyone?) oh, and they also have nerfed ammo for godknows why reason.
6. Can you please have a look at the muninn from a balancing standpoint? and if you tell me it performs as well as the other hac's ill shut up about it, but i will really want to see some good arguments made by you then about it
7. Can we please swap the hybrid turret damage bonus on the ishtar to something thats actually usefull? like a armor resistance or armor rep bonus? it only has 3 turret slots so its probably one of the most useless bonuses ever.
8. once again, please look at projectiles and the tempest and tell me if you find them extremly underpowerd compared to other ships/guns ( i will happily trade non cap use for actuall working guns that dont loose up to 50% of their dps cause they were designed to fight in falloff, witch is actually right in the middle of pulse lasers optimal)
9. What plans do you have for jove?
10. What will tech 3 be like?
11. when will we see t3 and jove?

1. When can expect that CCP remodel some ships, i.e. caldari one and why dont you redesign all t2 ships instead giving them a existing hull ?
2. Why didnt you give from beginning of eve Online all races missile and turret ships and not only caldari and some to amarr/min?
3. Whats the point to play this game ?

Edited by: Sidus Isaacs on 24/10/2008 15:40:39 Why do the T2 Javeling missiles have reduced range? Does not that make them usless?
Will the Drake ever get a slight PG buff?
Will missiles launch seperatly like guns (separate in space, not time) in the future? or keep going like a blob?
Will blasters get a change/boost after speed changes?
Will it be possible to change my skill training via my cellphone in the future?
Will Industrials get some tractor boosts? or do they get tu use their great cpu in the future?
Will warp jammers affect MWD's? If yes will that not be overpowerd, and basivally make the MWD usless excpet for very specialized long range ships?
Will we ger pirate faction BC and dessys?
