Wishing Mata could have Falcons that didn't suddenly have the Caldari symbol on them. We're kind of at war, y'know, and she'd so change the surface if she could.

Falcons are Ishukone, just be safe in the knowledge (if only OOCly) that they're sort of in bed with Roden and oppose the reason you're in a proxy war with the Caldari.


Or something to that effect.

If they had an Ishukone skin Mata could probably clench her jaw and bear it. As it is, it's as well the things spend most of their time cloaked.

... When was the last time you looked at a Falcon, Mata? They've had Ishukone skins (in various forms) forever, and the V3 iteration several months back replaced the Caldari logo with an Ishukone one.

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Well, it does say IZS has an "excellent security system". Meanwhile, Aliastra has stations in all empires, even in Syndicate. Likely needs a decent corporate security force too.

I'm sure there'll be information in the showinfos of each ship, as per the one for the Ishukone Watch Scorpion

Also, how many people fly their ships zoomed in enough to actually see the ship-skins?

Actually I never see my ship that closely... Except in the hangar, which is the only place for that tbh.

Morwen is correct. Mata is happier.

I like watching my guns swivel to point at their next target, so, uh. Me?

Same here.  I also like zooming in on enemy ships to watch them explode when I fly missile ships, but that might change with the new missile effects.

Guess people are divided on that one; Sai seems to think new missile effects = meeh, while a RL friend of mine will pretty much return to EVE due to UI changes and the missile effects xD

Personally I'm more looking forward to being able to tell how a missile boat is fitted by visual confirmation. Very useful ability with guns, so this makes things more fair.

I am not sure where you're reaching that conclusion about what Saikoyu said.

Sounded to me like the new missile turrets were going to result in Sai focusing more on her own ship, what with the typo. ("witht eh" → "with the")

I'd rather have the camera follow one of the missiles as it winds it's way across to the target.

That'll be fun  :twisted:

Tbh I'm fine with an isk sink.

AUR/PLEX is not an ISK sink. ISK only changes hands. It does not disappear from the game.

Talking to Dr E,
Isk sinks are when a player pays isk to an NPC, or has their account permabanned (yes, they really count this as a sink).
Isk faucets are when an NPC (like concord or the insurance company) gives isk to the player.

Everything else is just moving stuff around.

So, removing drone minerals and adding bounties instead is an increase in isk faucet. Increases in taxes is a isk sink.
