A Peek at things to come...

Nicoli · October 2006

I found this threadhttp://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=416420
and figured for those that haven't stumbled on it yet or don't hit up the EVE forums to see a majority of the new kali stuff thats on the test server.

mindspat · October 2006

Could you please copy and paste the info? I'm not capable of viewing the myeve site...

Nicoli · October 2006

unfortunately its about 200 or so links to screenshots done by another player so it not easily reproduced.

Bah , it seems aonly new things are some new ships ...

not such biggie

Mcgreag · October 2006

So 8 new regions, rigs (implants for ships), voice chat etc are not such a biggie?

Red-Eye · October 2006

Well all of the new ships seem abit overpowered but should be ok except one: The Drake.

7 launchers!, 25 % attack speed!, 6 med slots and no weakness at all. Hopefully it's still in testing and will be toned down some or the Devs want Caldari to have the mighties combat ships (which actually makes sence from a lore perspective).

Anyone else who has a thought about this?

Haven't ahd a chance to go on it to test it but it shouldn't be too bad. Most of the ships seem pretty heavily oriented towards killing things in a hurry.

The list that I know of so far is:

    4 new Battleships
    4 new Battlecruisers
    Salvaging profession
    Rigs(ability to tweak a ships stats)
    Combat Boosters(temporary drugs that boost your skills)
    New map system
    Invention System(ability to invent T2 blueprint copies)
    8 new regions.
    Contract system.

most of that stuff is not screenshot material so it didn't get the attention as the new ships did.

Hmm... I would make a joke about your lack of reading comprehension but I'm finding your inability to even comprehend the pictures stunning.

Minsc · October 2006

FYI, the pictures of the Myrmidon don't even do it justice. It's an
amazing looking ship. Way higher detail than the older ships. Can't
wait to see it in all it's DX10 normal/spec/heightmapped/HD glory.

I was joking dude

Looked trough all the screenshots with interest. Still , i am bit disapointed.
Is this all Kali is going to offer ?

What about customising the ships ... i heared promises that will be done (not rigs, but fully customising them)

And what about explorable universe. They seemed to talk about that also.

Now what you get, few new areas. Which is just useless - cause areas in EVE are anyway just empty placeholders.
Few new ships... and map interface face lift...

No biggie ,

Only this new contract system and salvaging might be interesting

Nicoli · October 2006

Well define customizing? paint schemes frankly with the exception of corporate colors I can leave it. in fact it would be the first thing I would turn off do to the amount of lag it would create from downloading them. Besides that the rigs seem to be pretty decient though I can't comment on how much they do as I am a notoriously bad tester so won't be logging on to the test server for bug hunting.

And I forgot the exploration system with new PvE encounters. It should be in there but again I haven't logged on to double check it.

Yes customising - as for making your ship appear diferent - special. (it is your only avatar after all)

As for Exploration system ... well now finally your talking sense

Agricola1 · October 2006

This is Kali 1, Kali 2 will follow shortly. So what you're looking at is half of Kali, considering you pay no extra for this or the second half it seems a good deal to me.

Cosmetic changes to ships were never inteded as a feature, I believe they made this clear a while back.

Actually
your ship is not your avatar, it's just like an item in any other game.
It can be changed out to fit the situation as needed. Your avatar is
that little mugshot on your character sheet. It doesn't do much but
look purrty right now, but eventually you will have a body attached to
that picture.

There are actually 3 parts to kali, the last of which is the graphics
upgrade that will introduce all the shiney new graphics effects. It
will also allow the possibility for players corp logo to be displayed
on their ship. Beyond that though it would be too much load to have the
ships more customizable than that.

Please provide a link of the allegded "promises" that ships will be "fully customizable". I don't think I've ever heard this will be done and in fact have seen few postings it would not be done; 300 vs. 300 ships each indepenantly customized?

I believe you possibilally saw a post regarding the likelyhood that corporate or alliance insignias would be able to be displayed on a ship.

While being able to have uniuqe paint jobs and color schemes might be cool I find it would have -zero- impact on enjoyable game play while causing a tremendous amount of server and client stress during fleet engagements. I do not care if my ship is a pretty shade of pink if I'm unable to lock and shoot (pew pew pew) my target.

Not to be rude. Do you even play the game?

YOU ARE NOT A SHIP!!

You *do* have a completely customizable "avatar". It's called your character.

You want a "different" or ship that appears "special"? Earn, loot or buy a "special" ship! There's faction types and tech 2 versions avaible. They all have different models and schemes that make them appear "special".

Is this all Kali is going to offer ? No this is just kali 1 there is still kali 2 and 3 to go.

What about customising the ships ... i heared promises that will be done (not rigs, but fully customising them) We willl never be allowed to design the textures for lag reasons and for identification purposes but we will one day be allowed to slap on a corp logo on the side. There is still a rumour that the devs one day might do inventions where you can redesign ships but not right now.

And what about explorable universe. They seemed to talk about that also. Yep there is a lot of this in Kali 1 using scan oprobes to find hidden object with hidden treasure. and to keep it fresh they respawn elswhere everyday. And according tho the devs this is only the begining.

Now what you get, few new areas. Which is just useless - cause areas in EVE are anyway just empty placeholders. What do you mean exactly by empty placeholders?

You also forgot that in Kali we are getting planetry interaction now such as setting up colonys on palnets and the possability of planetry flight. There is alos New gas couds comming too with diferent types ranfging from the mineable ones to the tacticle ones. Also comets are comming as one of the things you have to find which are mineable and they move while you do this lol.

So yea there is a lot more comming its just he visuall stuff in kali 1 is getting the limelite and leaving eveything else in the background.
