That's awesome! The minute we saw MC fielding those ships, we had the feeling of 50-50 where MC can loose. Of course we're also hoping for them to loose the match, while cheering for your team

Anyway, heard your Rook doesn't have Caldari jammers? If it's true...EL OH EL!

jade, ENJ is cry havoc now? Congrats on the win against MC. As usual, goons are failswarm again.

JUMP FREIGHTERS IN TRINITY 1.1

Hi there,
With Trinity we introduced "Jump Freighters", ships designed to be the ultimate low security and 0.0 transport ships. As T2 hulls, they were only going to be available through invention and being capital ships, they were bound to be expensive.

The initial idea was to make them like the normal T1 freighters but:

With Jump drives
30% of the total T1 cargo capacity
Increased hit points, a 20% increase across the board (hull, armor, shields)
A bit faster and more agile
Jump freighters were also unique in that they were the only capital ship that could use star gates, allowing them to enter high security space freely.

So what failed?

Since they were supposedly the ultimate low security and 0.0 transport ships why isn't everyone zooming around in one now? There were other more enticing alternatives to the jump freighters, such as the Rorqual and cargo hold fitted dreadnoughts (shivers). The jump freighters just were just too expensive and the bang wasn't worth the buck.

Making them more attractive

As jump freighters don't have any slots it was pretty straight forward to "boost" them. Essentially there were just a few things we could tinker with. Increased cargo hold, better survivability, range boost on the jump drive, decrease fuel consumption or more agility to align faster at gates.

In the end we decided to bestow upon them:


A 25% bonus to their base cargo hold capacity
More agility, by changing the 5% velocity bonus to an agility bonus
More survivability, by making the 10% hull hit point bonus, also apply to shield and armor
A decreased fuel cost by increase the jump fuel need per level bonus to 10%
We also made them a bit easier to manufacture, increasing the max production runs on their blueprints to 10 runs.

So why didn't we give it an increased jump range?

Moving transport ships in EVE has been slow; they are generally less agile, slower in warp etc. On normal freighter runs, it's always the freighter that is holding back the pace of the gang. Since jumping is instantaneous, our way of slowing down jump freighters is by decreasing their jump range, forcing ships that are jumping with them as support to take shorter leaps. We think this it is a fine and fair compromise.

In conclusion

With the cargo hold of jump freighters reaching up to 367.000 m³, the increased survivability and lower jump fuel consumption after these changes we believe they will become more popular. Of course they are still a very role specific and expensive ship should be considered a tool for corporations and alliances rather than individual players.

Until next time,

-Nozh

Boost Patch is Almost Here : Trinity 1.1
The Boost Patch is preparing to fire down the pipe and, if all goes according to plan, you'll be enjoying this "nerf" free patch and all its astounding content next Tuesday, 11 March. The Boost Patch will improve a number of ship classes, EVE Voice and EVE's marketplace.

"The Amarr Empire has long boasted about its powerful ships and a fervent willingness to destroy all that opposes them. Finally, the Omen, Zealot and Apocalypse class ships are getting a boost to reflect that devastating potential. However, the ship improvements don't end here. In order to satisfy your lust for carnage, modifications have also come for the Eagle, Moa, Raptor and Ferox class vessels." (didn't see any Gallente ships ??)

Hi Aces,


I am seriously thinking of trying out this game via Steam since they have the 21 day trial period now.

My concern is how is the latency to the servers from Malaysia? Specifically I am at Penang using PenangFon service. Anyone using this service has acceptable play experience?

Also, is it very tough for newbie to gain a foothold?


Thanks in advance.

Awesome. At least they didn't nerf the rorq or dreads. Can't wait to see what Cald buffs are coming. Eagle, Moa and Ferox will probably get +1 turret slot. Might make them useful heh. Zed loves his Eagle, it's all over his killboard, I'm sure he'd be happy. And Amarr ships? C'mon, does anyone care?

We have players in Penang, KL, Miri, some ulu place in Johor, some even more ulu place in Sabah called KK and plenty others. We have our neighbours in Singapore too. Given that the servers are half a world away, you'd see some latency occasionally, but most of us enjoy decent connections, and the lag's mainly from the server load. As long as you're not in Jita, you'll be okay.

Newbs do find the steep learning curve hard, but it's pretty rewarding once you're on your own. Join the 'kopitiam' chat for help, most of us are on there. Basically, if you liked the Homeworld game style and the Privateer mechanics, you'd find yourself comfortable with this one.
