Devblog: EVE Online: Invasion - Coming May 28th!

[Ezra_Endashi]

Mmmm, new in-game event coming

[Wombat65Au_Egdald]

I for one welcome our new Triglavian overlords.

@Zachri

… set up a Keepstar, install shipyards, capture population, force taxation and impose sovereignty, then spread out like an infection taking system after system. A wave of conquest impacting the fabric of space itself.

Sounds just like the large corps / alliances in Null Sec

So will this invading faction have agents?

There’s no information available that would allow extrapolating into that direction. As written in my first post in this thread, I hope that things will turn out in a way that actually causes content for everyone.

I certainly hope that there won’t be agents, even once Trigs turn into a playable race. I’m not saying that I hope there won’t be triglavian missions at some point, just that I hope that they won’t be “delivered” via the current system of having agents representing corporations.

In terms of mission agents in empire space … I’d favour more a system that outlines the goals and standards of a corporation, giving people a range of activities they can pursue, which are then being rewarded by the corporation’s human resources person (who’d people then call mission agent anyway).

Like… not “receive mission. do ■■■■ asked for. come back.” but instead “here’s what we do and what we stand for. you can mine, shoot rats in certain places, deliver stuff and we’ll pay you for your work accordingly.”

Something like this.

Does anyone have any information about the mining part of this?

[Solecist_Project]

There is at least one animation out there providing evidence that star gates (in general? or their own? idk!) will be turn-off-able. That’s not a word, but my german’s leaking really hard into my english today.

[Tipa_Riot]

My guess is, that the invasion makes certain systems like Abyssal space, with weather effects and roaming/camping Trigs. The new (jump) warning message suggests that. Hope this is not a group PvE only thing (and annoyance for others only).

@Tipa_Riot

The new (jump) warning message suggests that.

Do you have a pic? I don’t think I ever saw one.

[Tipa_Riot]

Check hoboleaks for string number 546168.

[Solecist_Project]

That site is so bad. Not even a search.

[Tipa_Riot]

Open strings, CTLR+F?

[Solecist_Project]

Yes, sure, but you can’t actually do that unless you open the specific part that’s hiding it.
You can’t actually search for keywords without clicking all the arrows open.

It’s nothing that bothers me normally, because it’s just a few click,
but I’d like to think that a site like this could have at least some quality.

Complaining on a high level. Sorry.

[Amdre_Itinen]

That Agency overhaul though! Smooth!

Nice work CCP, excited for a very hot summer!

[Rainus_Max]

Are we getting a super awesome trailer for this expansion (I miss them)??

Also can we get some random Trig anoms pop up in random systems outside invasion sites (bit like the ghost sites)? Maybe even extend this to all factions, just to add in a bit of variation to the one-pirate faction per region we have today.

@DeMichael_Crimson

Exactly my point, CCP is basically destroying Eve Lore by having Empire Factions turn a blind eye and not field any ships to help Capsuleers stop Sansha, FOB’s and Drifters from roaming around freely in High Sec space.

Now they’re gonna have Triglavian do it too. Come on man, having the game mechanics coded like that for High Sec space actually breaks immersion and more importantly, is a nuisance to players who don’t want to engage in that content.

Completely agree. In a different thread I suggested that CCP introduce more ships to the 4 main factions to deal with the Drifter and Triglavian threat, namely:

1. Complete Tech 2 battleship line-up (Tech 2 version of Rokh, Hyperion, Maelstrom, Abaddon), then
2. Tech 3 Battlecruisers, then
3. Tech 3 Battleships.

[Taloris_Aldercain]

In said thread it was probably explained why we won’t see more T3 things like the strat cruisers any time soon due to their stupid complexity in design.

[Nathan_Nova]

Is there any real information as to what this expansion contains other than the few vague hints given so far?

[Tonto_Auri]

@anon29945599

• Tech 3 Battlecruisers, then
• Tech 3 Battleships.

You do realize that T3 BC would be equal in power to capitals, and T3 BS - to supercapitals?

[Arrendis]

@Zachri

Burn Jita, nuke the stations, set up a Keepstar

The World Ark itself is the size of a Fortizar.

[Dex_Ambraelle]

Well we are witnessing a birth of a new all rounder doctrine of triglavian ships.
It’s enough that capital ships are getting S*IT on by frigates and destroyers the gangs of 5 dreks and 2 zamz are more scary than a dread like 10k alpha phoenix on subcap guns dealing around 500 dmg to drek… LOGIC…
Already the triglavians are the weapon of choice of wormhole ppl and low sec gangs because of spider tank and resist profile out of this fcking world plus signature radius allows them to sig tank even with battlecruiser on AB.
Triglavians are becoming one and true force of small to medium gangs with ramped up dmg 50% higher than their T2 counterparts. We already seen a leshak killing carrier. Or 10 kikimoras killing rorqual (and well fitted one as well) So yeah let’s bring more BALANCE from triglavian so we will stop using capital ships since 4 months of skilling carrier and 3 bill worth ship will be killed by a 5 kikimora destroyers because fighters can’t even hit them for ■■■■. I think instead of adding more fuel to the already bit OP ships try to develop the old faction ships. You gave us faction capitals titans supers and dreads… Give us also the t2 AS. HACs and t2 dessies from them.
