SOE Faction ships.

Just when I think I'm out...

Yyeeaaaah got all the skills to V already \o/

[kalaratiri]

21:37 New missile launcher

"BS sized launcher to pair with the Rapid Light Missile Launcher, this one fires heavies. Missile launchers have few options compared to turrets, balancing this out. Looks cool."

"Time machine to 5 years ago, RAVEN WILL BE AWESOME, CALM DOWN"

21:39

New ships

"Sisters of Eve (new pirate faction 'oops' -Rise)"

Holy shit they look cool. OMG that's some good art

"Gallente/Amarr bonused. Long deployment exploration, versatile, combat capable when away from home a long time. Amarr armour resists bonuses, Gallente massive drone bays, exploration bonuses hacking, probing and cov ops cloaks. Probably not quite as combat worthy as the other pirate faction ships. Able to work on almost any PvE exploration site, but also capable in combat"

"SoE are peacekeeping, humanitarian. Self defence with a vengeance"

21:42 Usability features

"Certificate system is being completely reworked, dev blog out soon. Certificates will no longer have other certs as pre-reqs. Better organisation, new concept called 'Mastery', shows how generally good you would be at a ship. Just one cert for eg Navigation, split into 5 levels. No longer a seperate window to the character sheet, Faar better for new players"

"Tells you when you are super-elite"

" 'Interbus ship progression tree' lists all the ships in Eve, shows what you can fly and how well you can fly it. They light up if you're awesome. Still WIP, dev blogs on the way. Better guidance for where you're going and how to get there."

[kalaratiri]

21:47 Character selection screen

"More information, slicker, better looking. New functionality - more on that soon"

Last on the list for Fozzie and Rise:

"Integrating Twitch TV into the Eve client. Makes it easier to stream, share what you're doing, no 3rd party software required at all. Push button, receive stream. Adds more usability for people in game and out. Please give feedback, we really want it."

The list is not final, things may be added or changed

Moving swiftly on, announcements:

Collectors edition ships late October, still available to pre-order

Eve Vegas, Guard, Fozzie, Rise, Loxy and Bro will all be there, speakers, prizes, workshops etc. First 500 pilots to show up get one of the remaining resin cast BS models, Valkyrie will be available to try in HD. Tickets can be brought in cash or plex.

Eve Down Under at end of November for the Aussies, Fozzie will be there, Chribba too.

21:54 Stream ends, after thanks and requests for feedback when the threads go up.

Thanks, kalaratiri!

So. Thoughts: the depot -sounds- nifty? But I'm not convinced. It sounds like it'll mostly end up being a giant loot pinata-- though depending on toughness and all that, it might be useful in wormholes.

The flipside is that if it's not tough enough or doesn't go reinforced, then it's again going to be a giant loot pinata.

The siphon is going to be way too fun. I can already see the various alliances having to patrol their moons to make sure noone's siphoning. Definitely wonder how long they need to siphon to pay for themselves, and how these interact with moon defenses. Hmmmmm, I say. Hmmmm.

The SOE ships look awesome! And I like the idea. I'm mixed on how it'll play out. If they're a match to Cov Ops in performance, then why would one use CovOps when one can do better with SOE? And if they're not as solid as cov ops in one area or another, why would we use them instead of the cov ops or T3 cruisers? Further, considering that each faction already has T1 exploration frigates, all this adds are T1 exploration cruisers for general use.

I think I'd be happier if they made these a destroyer and battlecruiser; then they don't conflict as squarely with existing ships, and provide a new approach.

Of course, I could be flat wrong with my guesses.

[Vincent Pryce]

SOE ships resemble the Vulcan D'kyr class design quite heavily. They look cool tho.

[Streya]

I love these changes! I'll probably end up glued into a SoE ship if they offer a good combination of scan and stealth ability, and firepower.

And the anchorable depots? What do you all think of those?

[kalaratiri]

Thanks, kalaratiri!

Awww you guys   

[Makoto Priano]

And the anchorable depots? What do you all think of those?

So-- at first, I was unconvinced. But it sounds like they aren't open cargo containers; instead, they're locked and have a reinforcement mechanic probably like POCOs. So-- huzzah! Sounds like they're going to be useful. And depending on how much storage they have/use, they may dovetail with some diabolical plans. ;D

So. All the deployables sound rather fun!

I especially think that the siphons and depots will make passive income messier by allowing for the weird notion of nullsec piracy. 

[Z.Sinraali]

I am going to buy all of the SoE ships.

[Makoto Priano]

I'll admit, the Siphons make me want to go Guristas... 

[Katrina Oniseki]

Siphons are going to make all our POS managers fucking quit.
