Also some nice new t2 mods in there maybe enough new meat for another blog Kirith hehe would love to hear your thoughts on this stuff.Talinthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548032123916667510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-74529411978506059292011-10-25T15:05:10.631-04:002011-10-25T15:05:10.631-04:00http://pastebin.com/TkY3rY6q

They also needed to do something dramatic to bring in new people to the game and hopefully bring some people back.<br /><br />There isn't too much that's more dramatic than PEW. What better way to show the refocus to FIS than have new ships? Esp new ships with big guns :)<br /><br />I'd love to see a T1 exploration ship as mentioned (though I'm really liking my T3 for that), but can certainly see the value of what CCP are doing.Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278950336161773752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-26812388575937351652011-10-24T23:00:51.924-04:002011-10-24T23:00:51.924-04:00It is also worth noting that we could very well be...It is also worth noting that we could very well be limited in weapon selection. The most comparable ship we currently have is the stealth bomber class. Its worth noticing that stealth bombers only focus on torpedoes, without giving an option for cruise missiles, heavy missiles, and so on.<br /><br />In short... its very possible these ships could be limited to only close range or only long range weapon systems. Following the bomber example I forsee not being able to use blasters, autocannons, pulse lasers or cruise missiles. This would give other smaller ships a more even chance against the ship due to tracking concerns. Yes, it leaves the alpha option open, but that makes younger pilots with smaller walkers welcome in alpha fleets, even with t1 guns.<br /><br />Its also worth noting that these same bonuses on the hull could be easily setup to prevent fitting medium guns and a huge tank. A 99% reduction in fitting requirements plus just enough powergrid for one 1600mm or one LSE is my prediction. <br /><br />Hopefully we won't be seeing eight BS sized blasters, or 100mn nano cruise missile BCs.Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00976964829879888672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-22909691890399997852011-10-24T14:17:18.293-04:002011-10-24T14:17:18.293-04:00Actually you need to go to WWI to look at cruiser/...Actually you need to go to WWI to look at cruiser/armored cruiser/battlecruiser differences. http://www.worldwar1.co.uk/warship.html to see what I mean.

Point 1.) Not sure...Hmm.. here's what I think:<br /><br />Point 1.) Not sure if you are thinking that 8 turret hardpoints = 8 gun highslots. A second argument on that is that most of the combat ships have several turret hardpoints, but even if fully fit with their maximum turrets, don't use all those hardpoints (could be just asthetic placement for some pilots).<br /><br />Point 2.) I think that is a huge concern.. and was my first worry as well. I think what we probably won't see are ships with any tracking bonuses or any explosion radius bonuses. Useful against battleships and up... but not all that great against smaller targets. I suspect that this could benefit Caldari pilots the most though.<br /><br />Point 3.) I think there is a need for newer players to feel relevant. Eve's big selling points have been these massive fleet on fleet battles, but it takes months, even up to a year, to get a new player viable currently. This could give a place to the guy just joining.<br /><br />Point 4.) Well, not really. The major aspect of battleships isn't necessarily their DPS, but their range and tanking ability. The new BC will likely only address range.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-31446625300233948072011-10-24T13:31:01.539-04:002011-10-24T13:31:01.539-04:00I dont think a Quick dilivery and imagination go t...I dont think a Quick dilivery and imagination go together! We are only getting these ships because the eve community pushed so hard for ccp to focus more on eve.. Im 100% sure (but probably 50% wrong) this wasnt originally planned for the winter release. So in the usual CCP fashion we will most likely get an unfinished expansion and poorly thoughtout content!Acute Dragonishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430573473956688873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-89644396284472193472011-10-24T13:16:43.968-04:002011-10-24T13:16:43.968-04:00Yeah, heavy cruisers in general are a good name bu...Yeah, heavy cruisers in general are a good name but growing up I went through a phase where I was enamoured with the story of the Graf Spree and that is what came to mind first.Kirith Kodachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322297953184168725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10989652.post-31667569411007851132011-10-24T13:13:52.193-04:002011-10-24T13:13:52.193-04:00Good post.

I was actually more reminded of the pre-WW2 so-called "heavy cruisers" built by the U.S. due to the limitations of the 1920 Washington Naval Treaty. They had the same design compromises of "big guns plus thin armor." But while the German pocket battleships never saw significant combat, the 15 U.S. heavy cruisers participated in every early battle of the war. USS NORTHAMPTON and USS INDIANAPOLIS are stand-out examples.Jesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06362457304801165584noreply@blogger.com
