Must... have... Sisters of EVE ships!!! Since everyone probably wants them, could make alot of money straight away if you could get the BPCs!

hmmm...I do have a few hundred thousand SOE LP laying around... are they available through the LP store?

 

 

I heard they were only going to be available as Storyline mission rewards given by the Nullsec LvL 4 storyline mission agent.  But I don't know to be honest.

They should be, and Alistone?

 

If you're taking orders, I'll take 2 cruisers.

Short campaign to assault Pure Blind and take command of SOE ship procurements anyone?

Test Server Feedback Forum, there is a "Rubicon Feature List & General Feedback thread" about Rubicon features coming to sisi next week:  .

Superfriends 
High sec POCOs
Siphon pseudo silo deployable


Game of Drones
Marauder rebalance
Electronic Attack Frigate rebalance
Rapid Launcher rebalance
ISIS (Ship tree)
Certificate changes


RnB
DX11 by default if supported


Five 0

Interdictor rebalance


Trilambda
New Marauder animations for Kronos, Paladin, Golem
Assets for mobile home, cyno disruptor, cruiser and frigate SOE ships, rapid missile launcher, siphon pesudo silo deployable, command ship hulls, death scene, corpses, incoming stargate jumps, warp disruption bubbles, SMA wrecks, V3 SMAs
Please note that not all of these assets will be connected to their features yet, so while they will be in the client they may not be represented in gameplay at this time.

 

 

The three unannounced items of interest to me:  

Incoming Stargate Jumps:  I'm assuming this menas gate flashes are back!!!

Warp Disruption Bubbles:  This could mean many things, from simply graphics changes to changing the distance bubbles pull to who knows..  

SMA wrecks:  This may mean that you can again acquire ships by blowing up SMA's (something that was broke 2 expansions ago).  Please let this be the case!  

[Eomar]

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that bubbles were just getting a graphics change, so suspect that's all that's coming to SiSi soon.

Rubicon is on Sisi so you can fly to SOE station and find out what rewards are.

 

Will do it soon™

SOE BC... The "Nestor". Hasn't been announced so may just be a placeholder of some sort. Looks even more like a Star Destroyer than a Hurricane does.

Supposedly the star destroyer model is the placeholder for everyship before they actually model it.
CCP Rise said on reddit that there "may" be a SOE Battleship.

This video has a side-by-side comparison of the new warp speed method vs. the existing warp speed method, it's freakin' awesome!

Wrong video?

I did some experiments on SiSi yesterday: unless I did something really wrong, webbing freighters to slingshot them is going to be a thing of the past. Even under ideal circumstances (freighter aligned at stand-still, double-web), I could shave off only 2 seconds of the 44 second acceleration time, if that much.

Your statement makes me wonder if you understand the web-to-warp trick

 

1.)  If your freighter is at a stand still (aka Not moving), then it is NOT aligned.  You must be moving to be aligned to something.  

 

2.)  The web-to-warp trick requires the freighter to be moving BEFORE you web it.  See, to enter warp you must be moving at 75% of your max speed while aligned to your destination.  It takes 44s or such for a freighter to accelerate to 75% of its max velocity under normal circumstances.  The trick gets the freighter into warp much, much quicker, because it starts to accelerate and reaches say 10 m/s of its 100 m/s fairly quickly (say 8 s).  It is at this point that you apply 3x webs to reduce its max speed from 100 m/s to 12 m/s.  Since 10 m/s more than 75% of 12 m/s, the freighter instantly warps.

Thanks for that Gizz!

 

I knew about this strategy, as I have an alt in Red Frog. Your explanation helped clear up exactly how it worked. Very nicely put.

 

Awesome!

That is something I actually did not know, that the freighter had to be moving before it is being webbed - mostly because I never had a chance to try it the other way around,and it's not how I expected the math to be implemented. I should have continued my initial experiments where I webbed a moving freighter (which had roused my suspicion in the first place).

I do know that immobile ships aren't aligned, but I wanted to be sure that that hadn't been quietly changed underneath my feet.

So I went back and redid my experiments with webbing a moving freighter, and much to the delight of my industrial alt, you were right. I did measure a slight slow-down in the sling shot (13 seconds vs the current 10 seconds), but it's hardly game changing.

Sometimes it's good to be publicly wrong

I really like how it looks coming out of warp -- much more abrupt, kind of like Star Trek / Star Wars. Warp your frigate into the middle of battle and you don't get this gentle deceleration, you're out of warp... NOW! and pew pew pew lazors and essplosions!

Does this mean that bubbles won't choke my computer any more? Currently, if I go into a bubble wrapped gate, my frame rate goes to hell. Normally I run two clients on all max graphics settings and that's fine *except* when there are tons of bubbles or those stupid damn gas clouds... Just seems like there's some inefficiency in the code somewhere. Hope they fixed that.

I noticed that there are two new level 4 SOE agents Lanngisi:

welp, the soap bubble wobblyness is gone, but who knows about the load... hopefully.
