That light pits, used to hold ships in place, are filled with complex electronic equipment, have no safety boundaries, and are lit with a dim blue light when not in use? (The Burning Life p. 77)

The Kronos has no reason to not go completely vertical.

There was some discussion of this where they basically said these were "trial runs" for initial animation ideas - i.e., they were just making sure the animations looked okay before expanding them to something more proper and dramatic.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

So the Kronos is more of a..... lowrider on hydraulics?

They said Rorqual, not dreadnought.  I demand something much more elaborate!

If you want Rorqual-style animation, all they need to do is roll the ship and open a mouth somewhere.

I can't help but think, "Humping Megathron" every time I look at that Kronos animation.

Makes sense I guess, I don't know.

On the Kronos, I think it would be best to have a tower rise up out of the center area above the dronebay.

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.

Anything more than a few tiny bits like guns slots like on dreads will look utterly silly to me.

I would think a gun platform extension, a powercore shielding removal, and 'supercharged' ship powerlines would be sufficient enough. The main visual indicator could be the powerlines being much more prominent... looks hella sweet too.

Post No. 4373

Quote from: CCP Ytterbium
Hey people,

We've been away from this thread for a while to let things cool down a bit.

With Rubicon coming to Singularity soon, we've decided to revert Marauders to the original design for now, as we want to see how they actually fare in practice within player hands before committing to the version 2 change. We will let you know if and when we move to version 2 again. We’ll most likely open a new thread when they appear on Singularity as this one has become quite convoluted.

That means:
  • Shield, armor and hull resists in Bastion Mode only
  • Keep the 37.5% tank bonus on the Marauders, no web bonus
We are also aware this won't please everyone here - regarding their comparison with Pirate Battleships, especially the Machariel, please remember we have stated many times Pirate hulls were due for a rebalance, with Angel Cartel being on the front line for tuning changes.

Thanks for your time.
