Well, considering I just found out that some people actually read this thing, I thought I would put up a quick post about my lack of posting. When I started this blog, I thought I would have a bit more free time, but alas, 'twas not to be. Being currently in a war zone, fairly inactive though it may be, still incurs a penalty on my playing time and ability. You can probably expect my posts to become much more uniform in a couple of months, but no guarantees. But, since I'm posting, I might as well post about something.
So, the new destroyers. So far I've seen the unofficial renders for the Caldari and the Minmatar one, as well as some very unofficial pictures of the Gallente and the Amarr one. My opinions* are based solely on aesthetic features, not on actual stats.
So, the first two, I have to say the Caldari one looks very nice. Asymmetrical, but not in a bad way, it looks like an aircraft carrier, a submarine, and a gundam had a threeway and this popped out. I definitely plan to fly that thing to it's death, but I also would love to see some stats on it.
The Minmatar one looks like it's preparing to tunnel underground into some cheesy underground lair..I'm not as big a fan on that one, but I'll have to see how it can hold up in game. Stats are a must before I say I will/won't fly it, but it doesn't look great.
The Gallente picture I saw looked good, kind of like a bomber/boat. I would definitely fly it, or at the very least give it a try.
The Amarr one looks like the art department is trolling Star War fans. It's a Star Destroyer, pure and simple. It looks interesting, but almost no actual details..Once they get it more worked out, I can provide a better opinion.
So, basically everything either looks like some kind of submarine or a drilling device (looking at you, Minmatar), and so far half of them look pretty damn good.
And now, for something completely different:
They are proposing some HML nerfs, reducing flight time, slightly increasing flight velocity, and reducing damage. The current proposed figures are 25% range reduction, and a 20% damage reduction. As someone who only flies missile ships, this has me a bit perturbed. It seems like a pretty heavy nerf, but I suppose we'll see how it gets handled.
*-My opinions are usually fairly biased towards Caldari, but as I can fly any T1 ships, it's usually not overly biased.
