Fucking new guns are sexy as shit. I spent all day yesterday playing on duality, testing guns with a local. Hell I even had a rifter/rifter fight (which I won)
Reaaaally irks me that they're spending time on the guns rather than redesigning ships. I see guns maybe 2% of the time, when I'm staring at my ship to see how cool it looks and when I'm checking out an enemy ship to see what it has fitted. Otherwise these just seem like a total laggy waste of effort.

Could have been a staging system.

Like on your ship, they track the currently selected target, even when not on, but on npc's and other players, they do not. And recoil is only seen on the bigger npc's/other players.

And because of the new maller, me thinks they're redoing every ship, but only put out the maller. Remember we have almost a month till it's out.
[editline]28th May 2011[/editline]
But only put out the new maller so far*
If you guys don't remember they said at some point that they were going to re-do every ship, they just aren't re-making them all at the same time, the maller model is probably going to be the only one they do just like they did with the scorpion awhile back. At some point all ships will have new models but its going to take them a very long time unless they decide to do an update just for new ships which I severely doubt will happen. I'm 99% sure the maller is going to be the only new ship model they put out for this update.

It'll probably take a couple months to re-do every ship.

tbh the best part of new guns is their ccustom icons
How much does fuel cost for a small pos per month, and how much of that could I make myself using PI?

The icons kinda suck, i mean they do represent the guns them selves, but atm, dragging them causes slight lockups.

CCP needs to be investing the most in the teams focused on fixing game mechanics, not the ones re-doing art.

I tried talking to him in local but I guess he was afk. He mailed me later saying him and his buddies were just waiting to get into an alliance (I guess there were 2 other guys in a Nyx and a Hel) and in the mean were just hanging out. He was saying it was funny to scare people when they see 3 SCs on scan.
I hope they make it so the drake stops going backwards
I hope they make the drake go away from fleets.

I hope they tone down the drake so it's not so fucking powerful.

hahahahahaha
no
[QUOTE=MightyMax;30109301]I hope they tone down the drake so it's not so fucking powerful.[/QUOTE]
Wait. You think a Drake is powerful? Perhaps in defensive ability but offensive leaves something to be desired.
yeah man 300 DPS is a ton of damage
where have you been it's so powerful
[QUOTE=haloguy234;30110261]yeah man 300 DPS is a ton of damage

derp. I obviously meant that no sub-battleship/t1 battlecruiser should be able to tank a level 4.
The myrm, cyclone, hurricane, and harbinger can tank level 4s...
I don't know about you guys but my HAM Drake does almost 600 DPS. It doesn't matter anyway, Nighthawk is were it's at. It's not even THAT much better but it looks sexy, which is what's important anyway, right?
Saying nerf the drake for its tank is like saying nerf the nanocane for its DPS. It's not a very good evaluation of the situation.

Oh wow. What?
Is there a program where you can view the Eve ships in an ortographic view? I want to try and make a lot of the ships in Maya/3dsMax for practice, thought i have only used the programs a couple of months, so i'm having a hard time to just look at the ships, and get the proportions right, and the in-game viewer is hard to take pictures with from all the sides, because its in perspective, and makes some of the ships really hard to get a decent "blueprint" from.
So far after all my searches i haven't been able to find anything like a model viewer or anything, which is probably because it's already in the game, if noone here knows any i guess i'll just spend more time on taking SS's in-game for my references.. :)
I hope anyone of you've come past a program like this, or heard about it, thanks in advance ;)
Uhh I can do some of the lvl4 missions in a pvp fit cynabal, don't see why those BC's shouldn't be able to.

I think [url=http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=269677&page=1]TriExporter[/url] might be what you're looking for, if you just want to get the models into 3ds Max.
I want to get into pvp but i don't have much pvp experience. Should i join a corp or just go to low sec and suffer a few losses to get some experience?

Try Red vs. Blue. They mostly do small t1 ship engagements and they have a deal that they dont pod each other. I would say its good for beginners.

I would try RvB like Wingedwizard said, then possibly join a corp with a pvp training program, possibly Agony Empire if they're still around.
On another note:
Is it possible to earn enough money in-game to cover for game time in EVE (PLEXs) and if so, is it possible with mining, PvP, PvE or a combination of the three?
I've always wanted to get into EVE, but I have my hopes that I don't have to invest too much money into the game.

Thanks, it looks just like something i could use, it's probably easier to get some sort of "blueprints" print screened out of that instead of the in-game one, i'll test it out tomorrow, thanks :)
