Probable changes to drone bays and other Stuff™

So far, what I can see based on the actual testing of those ships, is that the Bastion mode is good, but that the hulls were most likely nerfed a bit too much.

I agree with the drone flexibility - while I don't see them necessarily keep the TQ bandwidth, they can use moar dronebay.

Also considering reverting some of the other hull nerfs, will let you know when we have more details (we aren't going to change their role though). And sorry to say, but version 2 with web bonuses is not coming back, it just didn't fit that well with the role and Bastion mode.

What really horrifies me, is that even just the basic t2 fit can tank almost 30k dps if needed. That means that ship can tank up to around fourteen ABCs off one booster, assuming it doesn't get alpha'd.

9k shield, a flight of Tornados will cut through that, you need to look at a healthy mix of buffer and resists.

Paladin's probably the best place to start, Amarr T2 resists and doesn't need the TE in the lows that the Kronos does. Plate that sucker up.


Glad to see they're considering extending the Drone bay, allows me more damage drones without dropping my salvage team.

Textured Vargur transformations:

BITCH I WILL SLAP YOU WITH IRON FANS.

... Yeah, the Vargur's animation seems a little... lackluster.

[Katrina Oniseki]

Don't they all? It does remind me of Rainbow Dash though. LOL

[Esna Pitoojee]

Frankly, the first thing that caught my eye is the little bit that slides back and forth underneath the upper "prow". Expecting Minmatar duct-taped-on-giant-shotgun jokes in 3... 2... 1...

[Katrina Oniseki]

Pump-Action Vargur. That explains the sail-boners.

[Seriphyn]

All in all, not bad, but they really shouldn't have hyped it up as 'transformations'

I believe Degen has the proper term for this:

"Wibbly-woo". They are more advanced wibbly-woos, with an on/off button.

Have we seen the Paladin yet?

[DeadRow]

Looks better than the Kronos animation at least.

It'll be out this week ideally.

This has suddenly dawned on me as to why the art department was slightly evasive when I asked if the Golem and Vargur were getting new models the same way he let slip the Kronos and Paladin were at Fanfest.

Suppose the Dominix redesign will be a little later than winter then
