I have been checking the last days if the black ops did got that fuel bay that was mentioned and till now no confirmation of that, not a word from any one from ccp that it is or its not coming and so when.
Its seems that this upgrade with the fancy name ''Quantum Rise'' aint nothing more then a patch and nerfing is what it does most, no new contents really. ( orca is the exception )
CSM - CCP Meeting 001 - 0004 Black Ops Improvements

Noah (CCP) indicated that CCP was aware that battleships with jumpdrives would become the ultimate ship, and to this end Black Ops ships were pre-nerfed.
Andrew (CSM Jade Constantine) noted that the range of the drive and the presence of cynojammers made the jumpdrive capability virtually useless. Another problem is the limited amount of fuel that can be carried.
Bane (CSM Bane Glorioius) added to this that due to the fuel taking up large amounts of cargo space, loot from successful operations often cannot be hauled back to friendly territory.
Noah (CCP) commented that a Fuel Bay can be added, so that fuel no longer takes up cargo space, or that specialized haulers could perhaps be used to haul the loot back or bring in supplies. CCP will also look at the issue with cynojammers. Jump range might be looked into but is of a lower concern, otherwise Black Ops ships might become too competitive with capital ships.
So we are 4 months further and I guess ccp had enough time to look into this and they come up with the idea of the specialized haulers could be used to bring in supplies and ,what its more important, ANOHTER paying customer is needed for this refueling.
We all understand that ccp needs to make money and so its commercial orientated, new skills so people needs to keep up training and such is an logical step to do so, but you can go to far in this, and this is just such an example, ccp had the choice between a black ops extra fuel bay so it can be self suportive or another character needs to be used for this refueling, obvious the second choice is comercialy more interesting.
But its a headack to depending on cyno alts and refuel alt just to use a ship ingame that aint that great in the first place.
I dont know, I will have a word with some of my mates ingame but atm I feel more for stopping playing all together and see if in the next months ( next patch/upgrade) something improves as to see if I come back or not as I dont see anything intersting for me atm ingame to go for.
The only thing I see is nerf, nerf, and pre-nerf, this is coming and that is coming, walking in stations ( how long this option is talked about ) and now t3 personalizing ships. Talking about it is all I see
