Marketing aside.. reworking ships is one of the last things they want to do. 'Finishing ships' is part of the plan (and a huge part of their acknowledged tech debt) but having to task very busy people with years worth of backlog to go back and redo a thing does not make anyone happy. As the...

An interesting question.. not sure if it can be tested empirically because the backend isn't reliable enough, nor is the system complete, and the whole thing will be replaced by PES. @Bambooza answer is probably the best from a technical standpoint, but @Vavrik 's is worthy of Evocati status -

Did not experience a ship despawn tonight after well over an hour of play. This was in the pilot seat of a Titan; did a lot of SCM flying, a bounty mission, some atmosphere flying, but no interaction with any station, outpost or landing zone. Might be worth testing on the ground; i.e. land...

An interesting question.. I know the mechanic has been touched several times over the years based on IC Council reports, but not what the specifics are now. I'll get on after work and test the timer, see if it still exists as he describes it. Persistent Entity Streaming is the tech they are...

Q&A is up - https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/engineering/18947-Q-A-Crusader-Spirit Edit: One question in particular stands out to me . The answer here seems to indicate that it will actually have some ability to dogfight. When taken into context with the announced flight changes...

The Idris-M is available in high level Concierge packages.. otherwise I do not think it has been sold since concept. Someone who's been into it longer may have a better answer. The Idris-P has been the one offered at the IAE sales, and in recent years the -K upgrade kit.

Seriously, good luck on getting an Idris. Typically there are both cash purchases and credit purchases available. Store credit price tend to be marked up over cash, and insurance time is lower. Although many of the biggest ships/concierge packages come with LTI no matter which you use. Idris...

What @maynard was on about is a system to protect what you've built when you are not online playing. If you haven't played that content in EvE, sovereignty was a game mechanic that provided windows of vulnerability to player owned structures. The windows had to exist, but could be adjusted to...

Not in the images show here, no. That internal concept mesh was a first pass based on the smaller size that the ship was sold at, iirc 38m. Not that it matters in any way, but I prefer it to what was eventually built. Agree with you on the servers. The IT geek in me is boggled that someone...

If you look at some of Sarah's original concept work for the MSR, it was much more streamlined. It got chunky during the build to add the crawl spaces. Edit - Sarah's Artstation page of the MSR : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4bREZl The game does need more of those ships which are...

@Montoya Are you planning to follow up with a "they made THIS much money during CitCon" video? Might be good for laughing at ourselves...

My sister is fighting the losing battle with stage 4 breast cancer right now.. she has held on to see both of her kids enter college. It is one of the reasons I've not been in game much of late. Every single day is a gift. Two of my best friends in this life are gone to cancer recently.. one...

Can't disagree in principle... I think some challenge like this should exist for orgs in SC. BUT I don't see it as a need. The number of people in EvE who engage in that level of activity was tiny, something like 5% of the playerbase for many years. The VAST majority never left hi-sec...

Entangled with this question is the effect of sharding on 'player owned' locations. The most likely course as expressed by CIG is that your base will exist on other shards, but as a non-destructible feature that others cannot access. As to defending a place - the cost of doing so effectively...

I started playing the game back in 2.6.3. That flight model hooked me; it felt natural enough that I could focus on the tactics rather than the controls. An example on game balance of how just one choice can make a huge difference.. do you remember how the ball turrets on the nose of the...

Systems; Armor, power transfer (control and gadgets), the reworked QT mode, HOPEFULLY a return to different types of weapon performance, shield performance, powerplant performance, signature adjustments vs sensor capabilities, a range of replaceable thrusters for each ship.. and probably a...

1) Don't know, doubt anyone at CIG knows. Willing to bet a LOT of $$ though that if Yogi AND CR are genuinely happy with the results, it's staying. 2) Rhetorical question? During the video Yogi pointed out that the SQ42 ships are tuned, but not the rest of the ships available in the PU. In...

Edit: I like that they are trying. Not as sure that I like what they are trying for. Engaging in combat should be a 'stop and think moment' for either side, and this does not seem to go in that direction. We will see; as always the devil will be in the details. DecoupledPilot did a Spectrum...

So how well did this hold up today LOL??

Feeling your sentiment here, BUT - The 'pixels' acquired for this game pay the salaries, rents and coffee habits of real people in real jobs. I don't even buy the argument anymore that it's not a physical thing. I've spent enough on motorcycles alone over the years to create levels high enough...
