Who's King of the Goons these days?

(Please say The Mittani)

EDIT: A little reasearch reveals that it is Karttoon, aka, The Grand Sheikh of Jihadswarm. That's pretty much the most awesome choice they could have made.

I thought you woulda known that being the pubbypuppetmasterelitegoonoldboy that you are

I haven't played Eve in over a year. I'd have thought you might have noticed my absence

Also, as you might guess by my renewed interest, I'm considering returning to Eve soonish. So I've been reading about updates and holy **** stealth bombers can warp cloaked now? Hurrah. Also, someone has told me that they're removing the doomsday in favour of some sort of anti-capital death cannon? Can someone confirm?

Gneez

yea stealth bombers now use torps not cruise and can warped cloaked, they do massive damage against battleships now

the doomsday is being removed in a few weeks when dominion hits, its being replaced with a death ray gun that can 1 volley most capitals (I think trimarked archons or revs can survive them tho, my archon was volleyed by one and I had massive resists)

all the faction and pirate ships are getting an overhaul which makes them ownmobiles altho expensive and some more navy battleships are being added

motherships are being renamed supercarriers and get new types of fighters called bombers which are anti-capital things, also titans and motherships are getting about over9000 hitpoint boost which means they can take a quite a boning from a capfleet before dying

there's also some X3 reunion style planets being added that look really nice

here's a tl;dr link to whats coming in dominion and after that, incarna which will have **** in stations

Gneez

oh yeah and in case you didnt hear, the bane of small gang pvp for years, the 200km range falcon got nerfed into the ground, its now got a range of about 50km

No...no it can't be. Nooooo! What the fuck am I going to do with Caldari Cruiser V now you fucks.

The rest of it sounds pretty damn awesome though (although I always preferred cruise to torps, I also have higher cruise skills than I do torp).

EDIT: Played around in EFT for a bit. Falcons are completely screwed, stealth bombers look like a hell of a lot of fun now. You can put out almost 500 dps against battleships with a relatively inexpensive fit.

I've been getting interested in EVE again as well .... some really good changes (including falcons getting a long deserved kicking).... From the linked thread:

• Abandon wrecks & cans
• Automatic bill payments
• Better character selection screen
• Fleet finder (like the sound of that!!)
• Improved world information and station information panels
• More faction ships
• New in-game browser
• Revamped sovereignty (System requires you to live in the system and use it, No more AFK Empires!)
• Revamped T2 production(no more dysp bottleneck)
• Projectile ammo changed to give tracking boonus
• Artillery getting it's alpha back
• Assault Frigate Boost.

Whats with the no more dyspro bottleneck? cheaper ships?
Are caldari AF's any good now?
Are Minmatar going to rule space again? just a bit slower speed than they did the last time :pac:

falcons are still good they just have shorter range, they still jam hard, missiles were reworked a while back making cruise missiles completely useless against pretty much everything, so if you're a caldari missile user only, you're completely screwed

train some gunnery for blaster ferox or HAM skills for ham drake, or crosstrain another race imo

atm hacs are about 110 to 130 mil and commands are about 180 (I think nighthawks are about 240) making t2 prices high, CCP keep reworking the t2 production model so if things do not get cheaper you will at least be able to have some basic insurance on t2 ships

caldari AF's will never be good

Amarr rule atm

A shorter range Falcon is a dead Falcon. They're really slow, lack manoeverability and have no hitpoints, range was the only thing keeping them alive. Also lol they swapped a missile point for a turret - like that is going to change anything.

And no, I will never fly a Ferox they're terrible, unless major changes have happened. Can you explain more about what they did to cruises? Can I not even rat with cruise missiles in a Raven now? Please tell me I don't have to rat with torps because the short range will really add a hell of a lot of time to ratting.

I might cross train Amarr but I have no armour skills (well, some), though I do love lasers. Plus lasers would be nice for ratting bloods if I manage to finagle my way back into goonfleet. Ugh, this is getting messy. Maybe I should just get my rail skills up to scratch and fly a Rokh (I have Caldari BS V for some reason, I don't even remember training it). Actually I think I might have one buried in some random corner of the universe. Although don't Amarr have a sweet HAM HAC? I've forgotten the name. I am so confused.

Root: Feel free to split all this changes-talk into a different thread if you like
