Awesome!

@CCP A fancy expansion cannot make up for the mistakes you make the rest of the time. But let’s see.

I get the frustration, but credit where it’s due. @CCP_Bee has been putting in the work. I’ve watched him since he first started streaming, and the guy’s the real deal. If he’s behind this, I’m willing to give it a fair shake before writing it off.

Absolutely i think he also worked on Equinox expansion

Then uninstall and unsubscribe.

Not one single person in this game will miss you, troll.

Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to the 18th!

Great update, great ideas, great ships BUT the Odysseus (although a nice ship)

250M for the ISK for BPC
SoE LP has the LP to ISK ratio of 1:1,1k in average, 250k LP for the BPC, so 275k ISK
SoE Resonators are about 3,2M per piece, and you need 250 = 800M
In total 1,325B ISK (not counting minerals and those other things)
1,3B for a battlecruiser???

and gas cloud harvesters will have 2x faster cycles

Isn’t this a stealth nerf to harvesting cytoserocin with a barge?

Seems intriguing:

Epic Arc
A New Epic Arc — Fractured Legacy — has been added!

Consisting of three mining-focused missions, this new Epic Arc is meant for new and returning players.

The Arc showcases Catalyst features, including a gorgeous Phased Field!

The latest Epic Arc in nearly 16 years, it is short and experimental compared to its predecessors.

It is estimated to be completable in the length of a normal session.

Earn novel rewards, such as the new ORE Mining Destroyer, the Pioneer!

Other rewards include other new expansion goodies, such as modules and BPCs.

To get started on this ORE Epic Arc, go to the AIR Laboratories station in Kisogo VII and speak to Elias Peltonnen.

@CCP_Bee

Wondering why the arc is only for new or returning players, what about existing players?

Also what length of time does CCP consider as a normal game play session?

The only access to this new epic arc is in Kisogo System, Kimotoro Constellation, The Forge Region which is a +1.0 new player starter system in Caldari State Faction space…

What about players who don’t have the standing or security status to enter that system?

And why not just make the arc available in all new player starter systems?

Where does it say it’s only for new or returning players? The word “meant” does not, in any way, mean “only”.

Then fix your standings.

This Arc is nothing more than an introduction to the new features. If you’re at the point you can’t go into that system because of standings, then you clearly have other ways to see them.

@Your_Ex-Girlfriend What are you trying to do here?

Why not just type it into a Word doc instead? You’re not adding anything useful here and seem to want to be ignored anyway.

Well, since I seem to be living rent free in your head to the point you need to post idiotic replies to everything I write, seems the issue is you, not me.

If you hate everything I have to say, then ignore me, otherwise grow up and get over it.

I dont think you know what rent free means

You don’t know anything, at all.
