Oh yeah, First Person View ala Privateer/Starlancer/Tachyon style control would be nice
Which I think Infinity will use from what I peek in their forum, but that'll turn off some people who can't aim better than the other guy hehe

I still loves EVE. The scandals doesn't affect me much. Unless I'm involved in 0.0 politics or BoB taking over 0.0, then that's a whole lot different story.
At least what I can do at the moment is cancelling my account, it's cc subbed so it's still active. Hopefully other players are doing yhe same at the same time period, which could be now or not, so CCP perceived this as an exodus from EVE and get their act together

Oops, wrong screenie in wrong thread

You're done with your wedding, yes... but your honeymoon leh? Finished already? Too quick la. Go enjoy your honeymoon before you join a rank below Red's.

Infinity is stated in development for a year or 2 before their close/open beta, so their graphics may not be finished products.
Either way, CCP would better upgrade EVE's graphics before Infinity or other direct competitors.

- At least make ships capable of fitting missile launchers have proper launcher ports. Wouldn't it be weird to have missiles launched from the centre of the ship? If you can remember Homeworld (is it 1 or 2?), there is one missileship that launch missiles from actual launcher ports.
- Missed or no damage shots from turrets actually miss graphically and trail off into empty space similar to missiles that lost their target. Now that'll make fleet battles abit more realistic like those you see in movies
- Space dusts bounced off ship's armour or shield.
- Asteroid belts that are actually belts, not some half-ass belts.
- Concord/Custom/Military ships in formations rather than flying aimlessly and bumping you.
- What else leh...
Also, prepare to upgrade your graphic card

Wah.... should rant this in EVE-O...

Yo dude, missiles hardly miss la, unless:
1. The target's velocity (i.e. MWD'ed Overdrived Interceptor) is faster than your missiles' velocity. The missiles will used up of it's flight time and expire;
2. Should the missile catch up and explode, but the target's velocity outran the missile's explosion velocity. The explosion didn't make contact with the target;
3. ECM/Remote Sensor Dampener. I'm not really sure if the missile were launched, then the ship were jammed before the missile make contact with the target, the missiles would lost the lock and miss or they have their own in-flight independent lock. Please advise on this;
4. When the target they locked on are destroyed before they make contact. The missiles would just fly aimlessly and expire their flight time;
5. When the target warped away before the missiles make contact;
6. Don't think counting missiles destroyed by Smartbombs and Defenders as missed, but for your informations.

Realistically, sustained missile launchers need to be fitted inside the ship rather than turreted missile launchers as they are one time use only. The only problem is that with the launcher pointing the other way from the target, the missiles have to make a U-turn. But that's more eye candy for ya

Oh yar... I forgot you're a turret user, not the typical missile loving Caldarian. Ceh

Homeworld 2. Hiigaran Torpedo Frigate

Sauce: http://shipyards.relicnews.com/index.html

Homeworld 2: Dustwars (Cancelled). Kushan "Perdition III" Missile Destroyer

Sauce: http://www.hwshots.homeworldtrinity.org/v/dustwars
This was supposedly the 3rd generation (or Mark III) of the Kushan "Perdition" Missile Destroyer from the next installments of Homeworld 2 which is called Dustwars, but the game was cancelled
Couldn't find images of the Perdition I firing missiles, so I used Perdition III instead.

Good thing about EVE's outdated graphics is that it doesn't need powerful of a graphic card to play. A mid-end should suffice, except when there's the bloody space clouds.

Here's a dream setup: Buy 3 similar displays, LCD perhaps, the a decent high-end or best mid-end graphic card, and the final ingredients to the magic, a Matrox TripleHead2Go. And... voila!: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/prod.../gaming/eve.php

What are you?! Trying to be funny ar?

Long time no see you Kana
WoW got smarbomb meh? And Concord missed you very much.

New skills to check out on:
- Tactical Logistics Reconfiguration
- Projected Electronic Counter Measures
- Bomb Deployment
- Remote Hull Repair Systems
- Capital Remote Hull Repair Systems
- Starbase Defense Management
- Thermodynamics

Meh... nothing interesting

A hyuk hyuk hyuk

And the overheating from overloading is optional. You can leave it as it is, that is not overloading it.

And, no, missiles do not necessary out-damage turrets in term of DPS.
Averagely, Rails/Beams/Artilleries deal less damage than Missiles in exchange for long range capabilities.
FYI, in long range type turret class, Beam have the best DPS.
Short range turret class out-damage Missiles, except the short range counter-part of the Missiles (Rockets, HAMs, Torps). There's more to why the short range Missiles can't be compared directly, but discuss about this later...
Remember:

Turrets: Tracking & signature radius. Both of this affect the hit and miss factor. However, when they hit, it's a world of hurts.
Missiles: Signature Radius. You will not always encounter rats that let you deal the maximum damage, they came in various sizes: Frigates, Interceptors, AFs(?), Destroyers, Cruisers, HACs, BCs and BSes.

Yar! LP Store. How'd I missed that?
Now Empire space will have lots of pimped out mission running BSes piloted by ultra rich Mission Runners and damn CCP trying to make us kill other factions for the faction mods and also to start of Faction War...
Well, time to hire Mercenaries... heh

Oh yeah, bloody windows resetted. Again

Go pop Dan. Bet he has his pockets full of them tags you needed

Welcome back, Nightfalls. Had enough fun?

Introducing an EVE's celebrity

And his trap...

What?! A celebrity visited Kopitiam? Dan must have wet his pants!

* Me take notes not to take rombongan type honeymoon.
I'll rather take accommodations like Pangkor Laut Resort's Sea Villa or Beach Villa and stay there. Just there.
Heh
I'm not pouring salts, 'kay?

I posted in the stickied thread to inform about that. I guess the moderators didn't took a peek inside heh :\
H@H@ MIA?

One thing EVE could use from LotRO is how LotRO require fellowship (aka gang) to complete some of the quests (aka mission). You could solo it but you need to be high level to complete them, but it's pointless since the gains are diminished when your level is too high than intended.
As for loots, you get to roll (numbers, winner rolled the highest number) to win the loot.
Well, EVE have level 5 missions. But being in low secs kind of turn off people :\

Mira, I want to help with support ships, Vulture or Basilisk, but... I can only use and fit Siege Warfare Links (shield) on Vulture, and Shield Transporters on Basilisk
Or I just roll out my Rokh

Whoever said I left EVE?!

Rio, you can safely ignore Yumi. He is a bit... disturbed.
Nobody really pay special attention to him except gullible newbies, and of course ShaffGT

Piloting big ship doesn't make you any better than someone piloting smaller ship.
Titans are new, so be expected to have balance issue, much like CCP nerfed BC and Command Ships for having capacitor recharge rate of that of a cruiser.
BoB's side of the story is that they didn't field their fleet to match the attacking fleet.



Dan just want this thread to be all about him. Dan need love. Come on people, love Dan FFS!

DAN NO 1!!! DAN DA MAN!!! DAN BOLEH!!! DAN ***!!!

Why not? At sustained rate, my Basilisk can provide more shield than Estamel's Modified X-Large Shield Booster and Shield Boost Amplifier set can

Sure, why not... Dan's drones are a bit special though... just remember to watch your back
