What’s In Your Hangar?

As mainly a trader and researcher, I don’t feel like I have a large fleet of PVP ships as I try to maintain a lean operation. ISK goes back into trading and manufacturing operations instead of sitting as a rusting Minmatar hull in a hangar.
I’ve blanked out the majority of my ship name but I’ll let you know that I name them all after Babylon 5 ship classes.

This character sits in Jita 4-4 and moves and/or ships items around. I think of this guy as the holding account.

This character is working with around 290 BPOs worth around 13.59 B. I’ve always wanted to be able to produce anything in the game so I bought up the majority of the common module, frigate, and cruiser prints. The only Battlecruiser prints that I own is a set of the Tier3 ones. I have no intention to ever produce Drakes/Hurricanes due to their small profit margin. I also don’t own any Battleship prints as I like to fly T1/T2 cruiser hulls.

I’m training this character to fly all four racial Interceptors, Recons, Logistics, and standard BCs. I also have him trained for the standard T2 Alpha Maelstrom because it is such a common request in nullsec fleets.

Inferno Bomb Animations
Posted: 2012-05-03 Filed under: eveonline, screenshot | Tags: bomb, concussion, electron, scorch, void Leave a commentThe art department did an amazing job with the new bomb animations. Each bomb has a very unique explosion and these screenshots barely do them justice. Time to dust off the old, er — new Nemesis. The new Bomber models also give the bombing experience a fresh feel.

Inferno Module Additions
Posted: 2012-05-03 Filed under: eveonline | Tags: amplifier, ancillary, armor, booster, hardener, modules, shield 4 CommentsThis is a list of items that have been published to the test server as of build 370878.
1. Extrinsic Damage Amplifier II
+12% Drone Damage? Looks like a display bug.
| Volume | 5 m3 |
| Mass | 1 kg |
| Tech | 2 |
| Structure HP | 40 |
| Meta | 5 |
| Slot | Low |
| CPU | 40 tf |
| Powergrid | 1 MW |
I’m looking into upping this module in power. I mostly have the CPU and damage to work with, because of the way the technical backend is, I can’t affect the RoF of drones. But we should be able to adjust the rest of the stats to make up for that somewhat. The goal is definitely to make this module be on par with the other damage amplifier mods.

2. Ancillary Shield Booster (S/M/L/X-Large)
Large:
| Slot | Medium |
| CPU | 100 tf |
| Powergrid | 150 MW |
Regarding the fueled shield booster – I doubled the effect, the cap use and the capacity. So you can carry more, each charge will be much more effective, but running the module without charges is crippling. But IMO it needs to be that way because doubling the shield boosting effect makes it so much better stat wise to normal shield boosters and the intention is absolutely not to obsolete them in any way. I’m sure more tweaking is needed, but let’s see how this plays out. From the testing I’ve done on the internal servers it looks promising, but as always the real test is when it’s on Sisi and in the hands of you players, you with your uncanny abilities to break everything good and decent *runs away crying*
CCP SoniClover link
3. Armor Adaptive Hardener I
It’s an active module with a 10 sec cycle, every cycle it checks the damage received in the cycle and adjust the resistance bonus the module gives based on that. It takes the top two damage types and increases the resistance against them while reducing the other two by the same amount (if you have received only a single damage type, it adjust only that one). It’s a zero-sum system, meaning for instance that if the resistance bonus for a damage type is at 0, it can’t be reduced further and the one’s to be increased don’t increase as much.
CCP SoniClover linkThe resist is calculated for the module itself, but when it’s applied to the ship it goes through the normal channels. So, in the hypothetical scenario where you have no other resistance bonuses, then the max resist you could get from this module is 60% (the other three would then be at 0). But if you have other resistance bonuses, then your actual resist is calculated as usual.
CCP SoniClover linkWe’d love to make a T2 version also before Inferno, we only have this one version now because we’re still tweaking it, but once we’re happy with it as a T1 version we should be able to do a T2 version also (no promise though
) But we’re not making faction versions for Inferno (hopefully later).

4. Micro Jump Drive
This has been confirmed, but has not hit the test server yet.
5. Processor Overclocking Unit I
6. MagSheath Target Breaker
7. Capacitor Battery Reflect Adjustment
T2 Alpha Maelstrom Cherry
Posted: 2012-04-26 Filed under: eveonline, nullsec, screenshot, ships | Tags: alpha, delve, fountain, huginn, maelstrom, nulli secunda, overview, pandemic legion, scimitar, test 4 CommentsOut of the spreadsheets and into the fire! I have always been interested in the ebbs and flows of power in nullsec and as such, I have a subcapital character in TEST for participation in the pony giggles.
I saw a Jabber announcement go out for a fleet that worked perfectly for me — after US dinner, before bed.
A lot of firsts happened on this fleet. It was my first official non-kitchen sink/random home defense subcapital fleet, the maiden voyage of my T2 Alpha Maelstrom (finally have Large Projectile Turret V), first time using optimized overview settings, and my first nullsec final blow.
(don’t laugh all you PVP’ers — I’m going to try to do a battle report)
Alpha > Scimitar > Huginn formup in Fountain. 140 in fleet mainly consisting of a Maelstromball with fast tackle support that headed into Delve. We encountered and played catch-up/evade/backtrack with a Nulli Secunda AHAC/T3/Dictor gang of about 100. Now blue’d Pandemic Legion joined us on a few jumps as we played around with the Nulli Secunda gang.
Three major encounters resulted in us blapping their ships as they came through gates while being tailed.
Once we jumped through, our Alpha Maelstroms pulsed MWDs and sat at optimal using Depleted Uranium L (1.2x tracking) ammo while fast tackle stayed on gate to lock down targets.
After a few T3s, some Guardians, and all their Dictor were down, they retreated home while we reinforced a few structures with the help of PL.
This was also my first time using Liberty Prime’s UI Generator settings and I have to say, their standard theme is quite nice.
I was easily able to flip between friendly/hostile/warp points and the color highlighting really helped when identifying targets. I recommend trying this theme out if you have any issues with your current Overview setup.
So watch out, this industrialist is growing teeth!

“14 different skintypes have been added to the Character Creator. This allows all bloodlines to have a wide range of skincolors.
These skintypes replace the previous skintones that allowed players to modify their skincolor a little bit.
A character can keep his/her current skintone, but as soon as a skintype has been applied and the character saved, one of the new skintypes has to be used.The skintypes can only be applied with full recustomization, that is when you also have the option to resculpt your character, but the plan is to give everyone an optional full recustomization when this goes on TQ.”

4. Missile Launchers [link]
5. Updated Kill Reports and War Reports
[initial concept devblog]
[updated devblog]
For a while, we’ve been talking about global killboards and all the awesome stuff that comes with it (leaderboards, weekly contests etc). Linking killmails in chat to other players means that you’ll effectively have access to that data, making our global killboard project slightly problematic. That, coupled with some security concerns means that we’ll have to withdraw linking killmails ingame.Just to make it clear, we’re not pulling this feature because we don’t want you linking killmails, we’re pulling it because we have concerns about the impact on our global killboard project and making this massive amount of data available in a more graceful manner in terms of security etc.
It makes me sadface, but hopefully the tradeoff will be a better system down the road.
CCP Soundwave linkWe fixed everything. You can now link killmails in chat! Thank Tuxford and Punkturis.

6. Unified Inventory UI [devblog]
7. Amarr v3 Ship Updates [preview youtube]
8. Updated Ship Models
Stealth Bombers
[unofficial renders on youtube]
9. Overview Fading [link] Included in Escalation
10. War Mechanic Updates [devblog]
11. FW Changes [devblog]
Without going into exhaustive detail:
1. Cannot dock in stations that are in systems controlled by an enemy
– Example: Minmatar cannot dock in stations in a FW system controlled by the Amarr/Caldari
– You also cannot use station services if you docked before system flipped
– Ninja Edit: This does not affect neutrals2. There are 5 levels of discounts for a number of different things – if you own the system and have upgraded it
– Medical clone discounts (from 10% in increments of 10 up to 50% discount)
– Number of assembly lines increases by 1 for every level
– All broker fees discounted (from 10% in increments of 10 up to 50%)
– NOTE: You only get these discounts in the FW system
– ADDENDUM: These discounts apply to neutrals not in FW3. Militia store LP prices are affected by faction wide performance (discounts in increments of 10%)
– Note that Datacores have been split and moved in FW LP stores
– Pending implementation, LP gain increase for all ways in which LP can be gained in FW – FW Kills, FW Missions, Complexs etcI do believe these are the most prominent consequences implemented/pending.

12. War Costs
SoniClover stated earlier in this thread that the war cost formula on Sisi now is really old, we’ve updated it since internally and the new version should be on Sisi soon.
CCP Punkturis link
Unconfirmed/Tinfoil
1. Drake Rebalance
2. Titan Rebalance
3. Technetium Rebalance
Pushed Back
1. Destroyer and Battlecruiser Skill Rebalance
There will be no skill change for Inferno. Your destroyer and battlecruiser skills are safe for now. Battlecruisers will have to wait until we have rebalanced frigates and destroyers to have something clean to compare them with.
CCP Ytterbium link
2. Armor and Shield Rig Rebalance [link]
In conclusion, this is just too much controversial / poorly thought to be a first step to anything, we need to take a step back, breathe, and have a look at the whole passive versus active tanking situation through modules and ships as well as changing rigs before committing to more changes.
