I recently became a father for the first time and as a side effect of that, I’ve rediscovered a lost hobby: Lego. I decided to buy the newest Millennium falcon set (75357) and revisit my childhood. I loved building it, as it’s a wonderfully designed set that’s really nifty and sturdy. Lego made some good structural decisions. … But it’s also full of really useful pieces if you want to build another spaceship!
So that’s what I did. I went back to my Eve days and thought of a ship I really liked. Everybody loves a cloaky Tengu, right? It’s as Eve as Eve gets. So here it is! A Tengu made with nothing but the bricks from the MF set!
I’m also not a big fan of the Tengu. Nor of the Loki, or the strategic destroyers, for that matter. I just feel like they overshadow too many other hulls. Not as badly as the Gila, of course, I hate that thing.
The LEGO Tengu is pretty cool though. 10/10, would put on my bookcase next to my 3D-printed Astero.
Except it absolutely doesn’t, because the T3C skills were tuned around you losing a level or two when your ship blew up, which was subsequently removed. T3Cs are much too quick to skill into for their power level.
Not that I think certain hulls just being plain better is good game design in the first place.
I’m with @Anna_Dyneaux on this one. I’m maxed for Legion and Loki and I don’t remember the training being that bad. And I maxed them before the T3C changes, when there were 5 subsystem skills. Subsystems are only 256k SP to get to level V. That’s hilariously low. Hull itself is 1.28m. I have max skills for Lancer Dreads and a couple of racial titans. Now those take 15b years and feel like an actual achievement when you finish training. T3C you can max out with the SP Fenris gives out for free during the events.
