| 0s | hello everyone and welcome to the latest |
|---|---|
| 3s | and final of this series in Equinox INF |
| 6s | Focus uh live chat today we've got the |
| 8s | director's chat something which I'm |
| 9s | always looking forward to because I'm |
| 11s | beginning to have something of a paoan |
| 13s | reaction whenever I hear the term |
| 14s | director's chat because it's telling me |
| 15s | that expansion is just around the corner |
| 17s | which in this case it definitely is it's |
| 19s | only a few days away on the 11th of June |
| 20s | you'll be able to try out the new |
| 21s | expansion and joining me aptly for the |
| 24s | directors chat uh game director CCP |
| 26s | retardi and creative director CCP Burger |
| 30s | uh we're still heads down here at CCP |
| 32s | you know I'm putting the crosses on the |
| 35s | t's and the dots on the lowercase JS |
| 36s | getting the expansion ready for you CP |
| 38s | retardi CCP Burger what's the mood |
| 40s | around the office how are things |
| 42s | going anxious I think yeah PR exci and |
| 46s | Jitters anxious but excited too it's a |
| 49s | for sure yeah it's for sure it's an |
| 51s | emotional roller coaster because uh |
| 53s | obviously you want it to be great you |
| 54s | we've put a lot of work into this over |
| 56s | the last several months um and it'll |
| 58s | soon be in players hands so you can |
| 59s | start pulling it apart so the last three |
| 61s | expansions that we've worked on uh |
| 63s | Uprising vidiian and Havoc have touched |
| 65s | on many many areas of of Evon line but |
| 67s | have had sort of like a consistent sort |
| 69s | of focus on losc I think it's fair to |
| 71s | say with the reinvigoration of factional |
| 74s | warfare the introduction of new factions |
| 77s | um the uh uh Insurgency mechanic which |
| 79s | came along and has proven to be really |
| 80s | really popular and now for equinox after |
| 83s | giving so much attention there for a |
| 84s | while we're kind of like pivoting a |
| 85s | little bit and looking a bit more |
| 86s | closely at nsec for the first time in a |
| 89s | little while what were sort of some of |
| 91s | the things that led to the decision to |
| 92s | say that like okay loac is is going to |
| 94s | be okay for now and we're going to turn |
| 96s | our attention over |
| 97s | here yeah so if I if I maybe kick things |
| 100s | off uh yeah we've been kind of you know |
| 103s | after we went back to expansions uh |
| 105s | We've we've kind of last three expansive |
| 107s | expansions have been focused on on uh |
| 110s | low and we've been but we've been kind |
| 113s | of thinking about noac the whole time |
| 115s | and we've been kind of rather than going |
| 117s | into into nsac where you know a lot of |
| 120s | the the player-to-player politics is |
| 121s | happening a lot of the kind of these |
| 123s | ideas of control and and things like |
| 125s | that going on we wanted to use uh a |
| 129s | different area of space of trying out |
| 130s | some of the hypothesis that we've been |
| 132s | flowing with um so in many ways you know |
| 136s | not to not to Discount the discount low |
| 138s | or discount work we did in low like it's |
| 140s | absolutely fantastic but these have been |
| 142s | kind of you know we've been allowing |
| 144s | ourselves to try out different |
| 145s | hypothesis and different ideas that have |
| 147s | been floating around for a while uh |
| 149s | before kind of the full step into into |
| 152s | into n so this um econox definitely |
| 155s | marks the first expansion uh where we're |
| 158s | kind of taking these steps into what |
| 160s | does owning what does owning space mean |
| 163s | what does uh territory control mean and |
| 166s | and things like that so we we're very |
| 169s | excited to get this into players hand |
| 171s | and get players uh uh really hammering |
| 175s | on these new features and and figuring |
| 177s | out new clever ways to to you know break |
| 180s | our brains and ideas and and figuring |
| 182s | out new ways to to uh yeah shoot each |
| 186s | other in the face cool more the |
| 190s | sandbox yeah I I mean I know that um |
| 193s | with the at the moment in nsec there's |
| 196s | really not much difference between one |
| 197s | system or another there are obviously |
| 199s | some aspects like geography how many |
| 201s | gate connections it has how close it is |
| 202s | to sort of jump off points and LC and of |
| 204s | course there's TRC which is sort of a |
| 206s | nebulous thing that just sits under the |
| 208s | surface of of nsec in general |
| 210s | but with the the new sovereignty hubs |
| 212s | that are coming the consolidation of the |
| 214s | ihubs and tcus that that that represents |
| 217s | the the sky hooks Supply chains of |
| 219s | resources that will be needed to |
| 220s | maintain um sovereignty upgrades um it |
| 223s | it we're putting more objectives it's |
| 225s | fair to say I think into space so there |
| 227s | you know as as a either as a harassment |
| 230s | utility or as a precursor to an invasion |
| 232s | there will be strategic points that an |
| 234s | enemy might want to sort of strike on to |
| 236s | try and sort of I guess like soften up |
| 238s | the ground a little bit before the next |
| 239s | steps in the |
| 243s | 100% um a lot of what we have been |
| 245s | trying to do is to to put way more |
| 248s | objectives in |
| 249s | space uh put PE more people into space |
| 252s | always that's kind of like a a rule of |
| 255s | thumb for us um and basically applying a |
| 259s | lot of these things that we learned from |
| 260s | faction Warfare about like um small |
| 264s | medium large objectives is something |
| 266s | that we really want to kind of uh take |
| 268s | as a as a as a core part of the vision |
| 270s | so that everyone can participate so |
| 273s | we're we're basically get everyone in |
| 275s | space but also not just into space for |
| 277s | something but like something meaningful |
| 279s | and something that fits their |
| 280s | capabilities so they can build up |
| 282s | confidence and be a part of like a |
| 284s | larger organization so everyone has a |
| 287s | role to play is is one of our things |
| 289s | what I mean by harassment of course is |
| 291s | like for someone mentioned in chat was |
| 293s | like the metox mo drill which people |
| 294s | will be anchoring to Harvest Moon |
| 296s | resources people will be able to uh blow |
| 298s | those up fairly easily that'll a source |
| 300s | of contestable income kind of like the |
| 302s | old poses which used to sort of like |
| 304s | just scoop up moongo and people would be |
| 306s | like fighting over the best moons |
| 308s | because the metox can also go into |
| 309s | Wormhole space and into loc so that |
| 311s | should spread the influence of that uh |
| 313s | that particular structure plus the |
| 314s | things that they uh are fed with the |
| 316s | reagents the um superionic ice or CP |
| 320s | calls it supersonic ice and um magmatic |
| 323s | gas which will have to come from Sky |
| 325s | Hooks and other parts of space to |
| 326s | maintain their fuel that those resources |
| 328s | unlike Workforce and electricity aren't |
| 330s | just you know transported sort of |
| 333s | mechanically by the system throughout |
| 334s | the throughout the network they actually |
| 336s | have to be collected and transported by |
| 338s | players so they'll be indictable they'll |
| 340s | be raidable U you'll be able to steal uh |
| 343s | those reagents from other players |
| 345s | skyhooks if they're you know not reative |
| 347s | react quickly enough when you show up |
| 348s | with your rating party to snatch them |
| 350s | away um so yeah hopefully there's a lot |
| 352s | more opportunities for engagement |
| 353s | that'll be coming in in um with the |
| 355s | Equinox system from aw TM uh in this |
| 360s | yeah definitely and this is a big thing |
| 362s | that we really want to focus on this |
| 363s | idea of you know there are multiple |
| 366s | multiple ways multiple kind of levels |
| 368s | you can enter the system into you know |
| 370s | if you're you know if you want to claim |
| 372s | space and set up your own Skyhook for a |
| 374s | for a very consistent flow of um these |
| 377s | resources or if you want to go and |
| 379s | siphon them and steal them and kind of |
| 381s | play more of the that that type of a |
| 383s | game so or them from the market from |
| 385s | somebody else who's done all this |
| 386s | stealing and siphoning yeah absolutely |
| 388s | so there are like there there angles to |
| 391s | to solve this person yeah uh and of |
| 394s | course on the back of that is you know |
| 395s | um this will require a restructure of a |
| 398s | lot of the uh nullsec infrastructure |
| 400s | that many alliances have had in place |
| 401s | for a while and probably taken for |
| 402s | granted for a while that's obviously |
| 404s | going to be a challenge for some |
| 405s | alliances but also just sort of uh uh |
| 408s | you know scrambling the Rubik's Cube a |
| 409s | little bit I know people will be hitting |
| 410s | the spreadsheets really really hard |
| 412s | trying to figure out where the best |
| 413s | systems are because you know not like I |
| 415s | said not all systems are created equally |
| 417s | now if you have a particular class of |
| 418s | star and a particular type of say an |
| 421s | abundance of say plasma planets in your |
| 422s | system that's obviously a logical uh |
| 425s | candidate for a you know an important |
| 427s | system a capital system uh somewhere |
| 429s | where you want to set up because you'll |
| 430s | have the energy to run lots of |
| 432s | sovereignty upgrades in that systems and |
| 433s | you'll have to route your Workforce in |
| 435s | from elsewhere as as some of your |
| 437s | reagents so a lot for a lot for the big |
| 439s | Galaxy brains of the alliances and Eve |
| 441s | online to think about in this expansion |
| 443s | and of course that might also require |
| 445s | them to rationalize how they've got |
| 447s | their an plexes deployed because they |
| 449s | may you know you may have had an anx |
| 451s | Network set up a certain way now for |
| 453s | several years but with Equinox perhaps |
| 456s | the same systems that those anes are in |
| 458s | today uh won't be able to sustain that |
| 461s | same number of network so that will have |
| 463s | to be refracted as well so this is like |
| 464s | a peripheral you know peripherally it'll |
| 467s | also probably affect projection a little |
| 469s | bit and it'll be really interesting to |
| 471s | see what happens with that because we |
| 472s | know from the player base and from |
| 473s | talking to the CSM um a projection is a |
| 476s | big concern and is kind of it's kind of |
| 479s | Handy that as a I mean I'm not saying |
| 480s | it's completely by accident definitely |
| 483s | some thought went into it as well but |
| 484s | another component of our approach that |
| 486s | we've taken with Equinox will mean that |
| 488s | um those things will have to be sort of |
| 489s | rethought and rationalized so that um |
| 492s | their networks are sustainable yeah |
| 494s | absolutely and and I mean un lexes and |
| 497s | projection is is a big topic here and |
| 500s | this is something that we are we're |
| 502s | we're thinking about a lot and there are |
| 503s | going to be some I mean with Equinox |
| 507s | like the use of an sulex will definitely |
| 510s | be impacted then we will change kind of |
| 511s | how people will approach them and this |
| 513s | is we definitely want to see how Equinox |
| 516s | plays out and we know with big changes |
| 520s | like this there is always there's always |
| 522s | a grace period that we need to kind of |
| 523s | we need to kind of hold on hold back for |
| 525s | like couple of months because it's only |
| 528s | you know come kind of August September |
| 530s | October we where we really start to see |
| 533s | the impact of these changes to |
| 535s | projection and things like that so uh |
| 537s | this is very high on our list and this |
| 539s | is one of the top priorities uh uh for |
| 542s | the latter half of the year to to really |
| 544s | deep dive into into these into |
| 547s | projection and and the the uh |
| 550s | interesting challenges around it in E |
| 552s | today but first we want to see the |
| 554s | impact of of these new Sol chenes of the |
| 557s | new reagents and Workforce and how that |
| 560s | will affect uh uh kind of these networks |
| 564s | yeah which we dem sorry go |
| 566s | C uh no I just wanted to expand on the |
| 569s | so on the graphy so this has been |
| 571s | something we've been working on for over |
| 573s | three years now is to to make space more |
| 576s | diverse uh and geography matter more uh |
| 579s | with regard to resources but also travel |
| 582s | um it's been kind of stag it used to be |
| 584s | stagnant um and these are these are |
| 586s | solved things now uh what we want to do |
| 589s | is we want to keep the flexibility and |
| 591s | the freedom in the agency to have travel |
| 593s | to have like control their travel to |
| 595s | control their Logistics control their |
| 597s | resources and now we're finally getting |
| 599s | into that place of of of uh of |
| 602s | customizing space something that we were |
| 605s | basically talking about for been for a |
| 607s | very long time um and also I would say |
| 611s | increasing a little bit the effort of of |
| 614s | maintaining Logistics Network without |
| 616s | kind of cont completely uh making |
| 618s | Logistics directives hate their |
| 621s | lives we're not basically just you know |
| 625s | uh it's a it's a de Gentle Touch on the |
| 629s | on the system MH uh but I think there's |
| 631s | a a lot of give and take here uh finally |
| 633s | being able to kind of customize more on |
| 635s | their |
| 636s | resources uh alleviate a lot of the |
| 639s | pressure on jump freers well like uh |
| 641s | there's just it kind of to me it's the |
| 645s | culmination and I would say uh |
| 649s | Harvest like this is this is the first |
| 652s | of the Harvest expansions where you |
| 653s | actually see like all of these things |
| 655s | come together right it's good so I can't |
| 657s | wait it's good to hear you say that |
| 658s | because I mentioned you know the the |
| 660s | trilogy let's call it that of the um of |
| 664s | the the low SEC experiences that we've |
| 666s | just had and CP burger also you know |
| 669s | sort of like indicated this was the idea |
| 672s | before that this is like kind of once |
| 674s | again we're just embarking now on a on a |
| 676s | New Journey that's going to sort of go |
| 677s | on for a period of time we'll be |
| 679s | iterating on the things that we added |
| 680s | we'll be adding new things um we'll be |
| 683s | thinking about the future of of war in |
| 685s | New Eden what that's going to look like |
| 687s | and as we've covered in the the previous |
| 689s | streams that we've done on this we've |
| 691s | been talking about the actual nsac |
| 693s | aspects but also the home front stuff |
| 694s | and the Skinner stuff which we talked |
| 696s | about earlier in in um the InFocus |
| 698s | series of streams we'll continue to rate |
| 700s | on like the people's ability like you |
| 701s | know personal expression ship you know |
| 703s | ship skins and their the way they |
| 705s | express themselves uh and of course you |
| 708s | know yeah the the improvements that have |
| 710s | come to the corporation projects in this |
| 713s | in this expansion we're refactoring the |
| 715s | uh Corporation management UI window so |
| 717s | it's just a little bit more sensible and |
| 719s | in line with the rest of the the |
| 720s | features in the game so the the future |
| 723s | is bright but we've spoken at length |
| 725s | over the last few weeks both here on the |
| 727s | stream and in various Dev blogs about |
| 729s | these four big ticket items you know |
| 731s | Equinox itself the new ships the home |
| 734s | front and the Skinner there's a bunch of |
| 736s | stuff coming in this expansion though |
| 737s | and this is probably the payoff for |
| 738s | tuning into the stream right now there's |
| 739s | a bunch of stuff coming in this |
| 741s | expansion which we haven't talked about |
| 742s | at all yet you know the bundle of joy |
| 745s | let's call it the the the icing on the |
| 747s | cake the cherry on the icing of the cake |
| 750s | um and to talk about those a little bit |
| 752s | we would like to introduce you to uh uh |
| 754s | someone who you may not be familiar with |
| 755s | that's been working at CCP with us now |
| 757s | for a while CCP aami let me uh yink them |
| 761s | into the room hello CCP akami welcome to |
| 763s | the stream he everybody super nice to be |
| 766s | here um this uh Cami is yet another |
| 769s | director so now in addition to the game |
| 771s | director and the creative director we |
| 773s | have the game design director uh before |
| 776s | we sort of launch into what's uh what he |
| 779s | uh his to talk about could we maybe just |
| 782s | tell the people gather at home what is a |
| 784s | game design director and what do they |
| 787s | do yeah I think I think of game design |
| 789s | direction as designing the design team |
| 791s | so I'm here really to work with our |
| 794s | super awesome solid design team that we |
| 796s | have already and just help them organize |
| 799s | facilitate themselves uh understand how |
| 801s | they want to work with our players and |
| 803s | take player feedback into account as we |
| 805s | design things um how they talk to and |
| 808s | work with burger and snort and just get |
| 810s | our design team basically the strongest |
| 811s | team that it can possibly be delivering |
| 814s | like excellent content for you guys so |
| 815s | that's that's really my role here is is |
| 817s | working with the designers on on that |
| 819s | sort of level nice one and just how long |
| 821s | have you been with CCP at the moment in |
| 823s | this |
| 823s | role uh I think it's been five months |
| 826s | officially yeah I think it's about five |
| 828s | months right on that's not long |
| 830s | enough yeah I know it all now everything |
| 834s | by heart so yeah no I mean we' we've |
| 836s | missed you in the the past I know I've |
| 840s | I've seen you being I mean I didn't |
| 842s | actually get to speak to you until uh |
| 843s | recently because you're not yet you're |
| 845s | located in Iceland but um I I've you're |
| 848s | like white on rice as they say all over |
| 850s | slack all over the internal Wiki uh |
| 853s | doing game design documents and just |
| 855s | like pushing you know shaping how this |
| 857s | our systems work which is really really |
| 859s | cool um but as I said you're here to |
| 862s | talk about a little bit about what we're |
| 863s | referring to internally just sort of |
| 864s | like casually as the bundle of joy um do |
| 867s | first of all do before we talk about |
| 868s | specifics do you want like can explain |
| 870s | what we mean by that when we say a |
| 872s | bundle of joy I thought I was the bundle |
| 875s | of joy |
| 877s | um H uh yeah the bundle of joy is really |
| 881s | just a bunch of different pieces that we |
| 883s | kind of tried to pick off and didn't |
| 885s | really fit with like one specific thing |
| 888s | like piece of the game like nulc or uh |
| 891s | anywhere else and all it is is really a |
| 893s | bunch of updates to like meta changes |
| 895s | like game balances we've seen this part |
| 898s | of the game getting a lot of feed back |
| 899s | can we do something to give it a bit of |
| 901s | a bump and there's a lot of stuff that's |
| 903s | feedback from CSM and the player |
| 905s | community as well that we've tried to |
| 906s | take like tackle and just get a bunch of |
| 908s | little pieces kind of in there to to |
| 910s | boost everything else kind of |
| 911s | surrounding the expansion so at a high |
| 913s | level that's the bundle of joy all right |
| 917s | well let's should we just get started |
| 919s | like I said sure a lot of people who are |
| 922s | watching wouldn't have seen much of this |
| 924s | coming but would we like to start by |
| 926s | talking about the 74 and carrier idea |
| 932s | um yeah I think I think carriers are a |
| 934s | great place for us to start so talking |
| 936s | about the capital ecosystem like this is |
| 938s | something that we're really committed to |
| 941s | uh creating vibrant and sort of |
| 943s | challenging gameplay for all aspects of |
| 945s | the game and with that in mind we've |
| 947s | been thinking about carriers and taking |
| 949s | a look at some of the stuff we want to |
| 950s | do there so there are some carrier |
| 951s | changes coming and the philosophy here |
| 953s | is like where do they fit in the game |
| 956s | like we've we've kind of taken a look at |
| 957s | what their role was and what they're |
| 959s | doing and how do we shift them into |
| 961s | something that is interesting and |
| 962s | meaningful without just kind of tuning |
| 964s | up their damage or or hit points or |
| 966s | something like that uh so we've thought |
| 968s | about carriers as really having movement |
| 971s | oriented and positioning oriented |
| 973s | gameplay so that's their strength in the |
| 975s | game and with that in mind there are |
| 977s | three new things uh that you can expect |
| 979s | with carriers in this expansion the |
| 981s | design team has done a great job sort of |
| 983s | uh coming up with and working on the |
| 986s | first is they all have a new innate |
| 988s | ability called a conduit jump so all |
| 991s | carriers will have this and this lets |
| 993s | them uh basically jump between systems |
| 997s | and carry up to 30 combat sub Capital |
| 1000s | ships with them and that's with Max |
| 1002s | skills trained and everything uh so |
| 1004s | thinking about them sort of uh being |
| 1006s | able to transport small fleets and |
| 1008s | deploy small fleets into combat that's |
| 1010s | their first big sort of |
| 1012s | overhaul second thing all right stop me |
| 1014s | if you want to jam on any this this is |
| 1017s | in the patch notes but I just like my my |
| 1019s | detail in mind is they said it's an |
| 1021s | anate ability which means on patch day |
| 1023s | all carriers will have this ability uh |
| 1025s | with the minimum level set to five uh |
| 1027s | and there will be a new skill that you |
| 1028s | can train that per level adds five more |
| 1031s | so you'll be able to do five by default |
| 1033s | with a carrier and then train up to five |
| 1035s | levels for five more space friends per |
| 1037s | level up to a maximum of |
| 1039s | 30 that's right proceed yep all right |
| 1043s | awesome yeah so the next one that's uh |
| 1045s | pretty exciting is uh more around um the |
| 1049s | carrier survival and how it kind of fits |
| 1051s | on the battlefield right now so we know |
| 1053s | that they're a bit of a slow ship and |
| 1054s | that they can get kind of like jumped on |
| 1056s | and and have have challenges with that |
| 1058s | so there's a new module that they can |
| 1060s | they can have which is called a capital |
| 1062s | micro jump drive and what this does is |
| 1064s | it lets them spool up and jumps them for |
| 1066s | 250 kilometers so this is a uh get out |
| 1069s | of combat sort of |
| 1071s | reposition um module right |
| 1075s | on uh and the last one which is really |
| 1077s | exciting I think and has a huge impact |
| 1080s | on how carriers are going to work in |
| 1082s | combat is it's pretty similar uh but |
| 1085s | this one's called the capital micro jump |
| 1086s | field generator and when this one spools |
| 1089s | up it jumps uh the carrier and nearby |
| 1092s | ships Ford 250 kilometers so this can |
| 1095s | move uh sub capitals uh as well as |
| 1098s | capital ships um combat ships basically |
| 1101s | uh and this is like really strategic for |
| 1103s | repositioning people on the battlefield |
| 1105s | so I'm really excited to see how this |
| 1107s | lands and how people use this in their |
| 1109s | in their combat strategies yeah people |
| 1111s | already call the Kush I think they I |
| 1114s | think it's Landing pretty well so far uh |
| 1116s | but so uh and just to expand as as with |
| 1119s | before this this will be for the the |
| 1121s | field is about I think it's a 10 km |
| 1123s | radius around the carrier and it'll move |
| 1125s | up up to 50 sub capitals or up uh or |
| 1129s | sorry up to 50 sub 50 sub capitals and |
| 1131s | up to four capitals even if they're in |
| 1134s | Siege or triage uh or the or the or the |
| 1137s | sub capitals are in Bastion mode |
| 1140s | so that's kind of interesting uh what do |
| 1143s | you think twitch |
| 1145s | chat I think this is super interesting |
| 1147s | yeah I think it's super cool I love U |
| 1150s | I'm I'm a big fan of of of uh kind of |
| 1154s | identity for ships it's something like |
| 1156s | that I've really tried to kind of push |
| 1158s | for for some time and fundamentally it |
| 1161s | it like I I'm a World War II kind of |
| 1165s | buff and I love battleships and and |
| 1167s | those kinds of things I think having |
| 1169s | that identity super clear for each of |
| 1171s | these ships what's a destroyer what's a |
| 1174s | frig it helps new players also like |
| 1177s | understand like how to what to do what |
| 1179s | roles to fulfill in a fleet Etc even if |
| 1182s | you have like specific Eve roles to then |
| 1184s | later to fulfill but the kind of like |
| 1186s | original Fantasy is something you come |
| 1188s | with from the environment into the game |
| 1190s | like and you kind of you have some |
| 1192s | assumed knowledge um and carriers have |
| 1195s | just and supers super carriers have have |
| 1197s | kind of like |
| 1199s | I've been waiting for a long time to get |
| 1201s | like more of this Mothership fantasy and |
| 1203s | this this is really fulfilling that yeah |
| 1206s | just to clarify however this is only |
| 1207s | applying to carriers just in case anyone |
| 1209s | because CCP reard mentioned super |
| 1211s | carriers then this this this these |
| 1213s | modules these changes are just for like |
| 1215s | the Baseline carriers which is which is |
| 1217s | great and I think it's a I think it's a |
| 1218s | much more interesting and creative way |
| 1220s | of doing something with carriers just |
| 1222s | rather than adding a few more HP or you |
| 1224s | know adding a bit more DPS or something |
| 1226s | like that giving them a defined role |
| 1228s | because they kind of been squeezed out a |
| 1229s | little bit with how effective Marauders |
| 1231s | are and also you know how effective |
| 1233s | dreadnots are so giving them a defined |
| 1236s | role it's basically like command |
| 1237s | destroyers right you're you're creating |
| 1239s | a a class of ship that has a very |
| 1240s | specific Battlefield utility in addition |
| 1243s | to its pre-existent you know fairly |
| 1245s | considerable um DPS ability and it and |
| 1248s | this tank but now it's just got like a |
| 1250s | it's got a little something extra that |
| 1252s | makes you will make get people's heads |
| 1253s | turning about how we can use these |
| 1255s | things on the battlefield rather than |
| 1257s | leave those at home because it's |
| 1258s | obviously just better to bring a bunch |
| 1259s | ofers or obviously better to bring just |
| 1262s | bring a bunch of dreadn which is super |
| 1264s | cool um now there was also something to |
| 1266s | do with um uh Titan doomsdays CP comi |
| 1271s | yeah yeah that's right they're getting |
| 1273s | uh they are getting a buff so I think we |
| 1275s | weren't feeling like they were sitting |
| 1277s | where we wanted them to be based on |
| 1279s | where the meta was currently looking at |
| 1281s | other ships sort of effective hit points |
| 1282s | and stuff and so they are getting a buff |
| 1286s | significantly nice so basically what |
| 1288s | that down to for people at home is that |
| 1291s | Titan doomsday Max damage will now be |
| 1293s | increased to about 3 million HP with Max |
| 1296s | skills which I think is about is it a |
| 1298s | double of what it is now or is it a 30% |
| 1301s | increase forgive me I sort of checked |
| 1302s | before the stream but is something that |
| 1304s | vicinity but with you know with the |
| 1305s | introduction of really powerful subc |
| 1307s | caps like Navy dreadnots and Lancer |
| 1310s | dreadnots this kind of brings back the |
| 1313s | the the ability for the Titans to |
| 1315s | dominate the battlefield a little bit |
| 1316s | the way you think a ship of that scale |
| 1318s | should |
| 1319s | um because Navy dreadn it's incredibly |
| 1321s | tanky and would just be able to you know |
| 1323s | can shrug off a DD blast but now they're |
| 1325s | sort of on noticed again if but on the |
| 1328s | Proviso that someone has uh the courage |
| 1330s | to like put a Titan on the field and |
| 1332s | commit that to the |
| 1334s | fight um so hope you guys will enjoy |
| 1338s | those changes that sounds like it's |
| 1339s | going to be a lot of fun um we're also |
| 1341s | doing some changes around some sort of B |
| 1343s | rebalancing and met changes to some |
| 1344s | other areas of space I want to talk |
| 1346s | about pochin next Um this can has come |
| 1349s | about through an extended period of like |
| 1351s | I want to say very constructive |
| 1352s | consultation with people who uh live in |
| 1355s | poven and also through the CSM and other |
| 1357s | resources like that a few years ago a |
| 1359s | whole bunch of uh this is PRI pre-u |
| 1361s | prising a whole bunch of faction Warfare |
| 1363s | alliances got together and essentially |
| 1365s | made like a problem statement uh |
| 1367s | document and said CCP we want you to |
| 1369s | give this some attention and the the the |
| 1372s | way that was presented and the way that |
| 1374s | the dialogue that ensued really helped a |
| 1376s | lot with us shaping what we did in |
| 1377s | Uprising and similarly I want to commend |
| 1379s | the PCH Community because they have also |
| 1381s | sort of taken that kind of approach as |
| 1382s | like okay let's let's actually put our |
| 1385s | heads together and try and articulate |
| 1386s | what the problems are um and present |
| 1389s | those to CCP so that we have like |
| 1390s | something really really good to chew on |
| 1391s | when our game designers are trying to to |
| 1393s | solve these problems so we are making |
| 1395s | some before anyone gets too excited |
| 1397s | we're not like turning poch ven on its |
| 1399s | head but we are making some changes |
| 1400s | which have been long requested which we |
| 1401s | hope will um make it uh uh improve the |
| 1404s | quality of life of people living that |
| 1405s | area space uh CCP or Ki or burger or |
| 1409s | rard whoever would like to speak to |
| 1411s | those I can speak to the big reason and |
| 1415s | then you can so there's what we really |
| 1418s | like is when the like the uh domain |
| 1421s | expertise Lobby group comes together and |
| 1424s | kind of pitches something that's kind of |
| 1426s | like a these are we all kind of agree |
| 1429s | that these are pretty logical fixes so |
| 1432s | it's not like a like a a real Lobby |
| 1435s | where you're basically just like pushing |
| 1437s | for your own interest like |
| 1439s | um over everyone else's yeah uh we |
| 1442s | really like these uh I think it was |
| 1443s | called the manifesto originally so like |
| 1445s | I I really like these |
| 1447s | manifestos um and these are really |
| 1450s | reasonable um and then we had a full |
| 1452s | follow-up talk about some of these |
| 1453s | changes we're going to talk about now so |
| 1455s | it's kind of good intro at the CSM this |
| 1458s | spring great CSM like uh meeting um it |
| 1462s | was just really constructive the whole |
| 1465s | days I was able to do like do way more |
| 1468s | meetings than I can usually do and we |
| 1470s | ended up with really good consensus on |
| 1473s | both like near and Midterm I think |
| 1476s | objectives um so I'm uh one of these was |
| 1479s | it was pochman we all agree that there |
| 1481s | are both issues with isk Faucets in the |
| 1484s | for the economy but also just like how |
| 1487s | it works like seagulling Etc same thing |
| 1490s | with um wormholes same thing with some |
| 1493s | of the ecos like other domains in the in |
| 1495s | the game so uh that's kind where it came |
| 1499s | from it's either raised or championed by |
| 1502s | the CSM uh this spring uh as well as |
| 1505s | just like some of the um other kind of |
| 1509s | we call them orphans like the things |
| 1511s | that like just never get fixed they like |
| 1514s | we were able to pull a lot of them into |
| 1516s | the into the into the team and say like |
| 1520s | kind of you can pick and choose like |
| 1522s | yeah just go wild but I think on the |
| 1524s | solutions I think Greg yeah |
| 1529s | a tiny bit to that um yeah I need to |
| 1532s | like give a huge shout out on to you |
| 1534s | know uh to the popor community for the |
| 1537s | for the manifesto uh what was also great |
| 1539s | about it is not only did they bring kind |
| 1541s | of you know they brought some solutions |
| 1542s | to the table like potential Solutions |
| 1544s | but the real power was how they came |
| 1547s | together and they managed to articulate |
| 1549s | the problems that we're facing really |
| 1551s | well because it's if you just bring |
| 1553s | solutions to the table like you kind of |
| 1555s | you start to kind of run in circles you |
| 1558s | know trying to fit problems to the |
| 1560s | solution it's way better when you can |
| 1561s | articulate the problem then we can kind |
| 1564s | of you know use our design jobs and and |
| 1566s | kind of start a very active dialogue |
| 1569s | about what how to solve these problems |
| 1571s | and you know what what angles you could |
| 1573s | you could kind of view it from because |
| 1576s | it's not you know even if even if |
| 1578s | there's a problem here the solution |
| 1579s | might be somewhere else like changing |
| 1581s | somewhere in a different spot might fix |
| 1583s | this this this um this problem so it was |
| 1587s | a really good instead of Nerf accent |
| 1591s | yeah turn off y |
| 1593s | yeah let's not keep twitch chat and |
| 1595s | suspenders any longer in fact CCP K if |
| 1597s | you just want to run through the pochin |
| 1599s | stuff we're going to talk about the |
| 1600s | incursion stuff we're going to talk |
| 1601s | about the trick Levan Mo Victory systems |
| 1603s | Etc yeah yeah we can just hit these ones |
| 1606s | pretty quick and and go through them at |
| 1608s | a high level I think the philosophy from |
| 1610s | a design standpoint here is that is is |
| 1612s | wanting uh sort of fairness for risk and |
| 1615s | reward oriented gameplay and commitment |
| 1617s | from players and so that's the theme |
| 1619s | with a lot of these changes uh so with |
| 1621s | the observatory flasho site in poshen |
| 1624s | this is the first one uh We've added a |
| 1626s | second pocket to the site so now uh |
| 1629s | payouts are happening in that second |
| 1630s | pocket you have to be there in order to |
| 1632s | to to get that reward and there are some |
| 1634s | new uh NPC behaviors that that are going |
| 1637s | to create some interesting challenges |
| 1639s | for players so a little bit of a shift |
| 1641s | in this one uh again just creating sort |
| 1643s | of more fairness for committing to the |
| 1645s | to the site um next one stop me if you |
| 1649s | want to jam any more on those but |
| 1651s | incursions uh yeah so so similarly uh |
| 1654s | incursions we thought there were some |
| 1656s | interesting opportunities here uh so |
| 1658s | there's some changes in HEC and LC no no |
| 1660s | real changes in in nsec um but in HEC uh |
| 1663s | the sanche mothership won't appear until |
| 1665s | three days have passed um and so we |
| 1669s | think that this kind of um uh incursion |
| 1673s | is a great place for players to get more |
| 1674s | comfortable in a group setting early on |
| 1676s | in the game so giving a little bit |
| 1677s | bigger of a window of opportunity here |
| 1679s | for players to uh engage with this |
| 1682s | content is is something we're looking |
| 1683s | for and in losc the sanche mothership |
| 1685s | won't appear for until a day has elapsed |
| 1688s | um so that's one of the the bigger |
| 1690s | changes there uh what do we have next on |
| 1693s | this list uh home front operations |
| 1694s | there's just a bunch of quality of life |
| 1696s | changes you guys can probably see more |
| 1698s | of them in the patch notes uh coming up |
| 1700s | uh soon and then yeah there's the |
| 1702s | Travian minor Victory systems uh so now |
| 1705s | the triglavians won't Target newer |
| 1707s | players that was kind of a bigger |
| 1708s | problem so anybody who has uh like no uh |
| 1713s | or or not NE non- negative standing |
| 1715s | basically is not going to be a Target um |
| 1717s | and they're going to be able to be |
| 1719s | cleaned up a little bit more too so uh |
| 1722s | the the where posts around Stargate |
| 1724s | stations and upwell structures won't |
| 1726s | respond any longer after they're |
| 1727s | destroyed so that's another big change |
| 1730s | happening |
| 1732s | there um yeah next up I guess we're |
| 1734s | going into factional Warfare stuff |
| 1738s | uh shall I just get into it or do you |
| 1739s | want to do you want do you have anything |
| 1741s | you want to on this one go uh yeah so so |
| 1745s | just going to hit this one pretty quick |
| 1746s | uh which is that fobs are now more |
| 1749s | likely to be closer to the front lines |
| 1751s | rather than rear guard systems uh so |
| 1754s | that's an Insurgency ql Q change from |
| 1756s | the community so we're happy to to put |
| 1759s | that one in there um uh we've got NPC |
| 1763s | behavior on Battlefield sites that have |
| 1764s | been changed to promote killing NPCs |
| 1766s | rather than uh kiing |
| 1769s | um uh kiting them out so promoting more |
| 1771s | fights uh opportunities like that uh the |
| 1774s | faction signature radius suppression |
| 1776s | modules are going to be a new thing |
| 1778s | exclusive from the pirate laundering |
| 1780s | site uh this adds some value there to uh |
| 1783s | to some Insurgency |
| 1785s | content um yeah stop there if anybody |
| 1788s | else wants to contribute |
| 1790s | and talk about kind of in faction |
| 1793s | Warfare and I mean we we even if we're |
| 1796s | focusing on on N now we're still kind of |
| 1798s | keeping an eye on on the content we put |
| 1801s | out in in havoc and in in Uprising and |
| 1803s | Meridian so we're you know constantly |
| 1806s | kind of looking at this and and there |
| 1807s | are some more kind of smaller changes |
| 1808s | and tweaks that we're also doing to FW |
| 1811s | space and uh make sure to to uh dive |
| 1815s | into those in in the Epic PCH notes that |
| 1818s | are are are coming out very soon Yes |
| 1821s | actually on that note we are sort of |
| 1823s | just moving through briskly now through |
| 1824s | these changes but specifics will be |
| 1826s | available around about the time this |
| 1828s | stream concludes we'll be publishing the |
| 1829s | full patch notes for equinox so you'll |
| 1831s | have all weekend to chew on those before |
| 1833s | you jump in and start playing it on |
| 1834s | Tuesday so uh we'll let you know as soon |
| 1836s | as they go live but you can always just |
| 1838s | go to the evl website and start spamming |
| 1840s | F5 uh please carry on CCP |
| 1844s | orami yeah sounds great so the next one |
| 1846s | I think is great to talk about some |
| 1847s | design philosophy and and Eve as well uh |
| 1850s | some LP store and Industry changes kind |
| 1852s | of coming down the pipeline um we love |
| 1854s | to think that the you know having the |
| 1857s | majority of content that exists and Eve |
| 1859s | be something that players create is |
| 1860s | really the best game we can make so some |
| 1863s | of these changes reflect that um so the |
| 1866s | first one just just just quickly is that |
| 1868s | T2 Capital guns and crab beacons are |
| 1870s | going to be cheaper to produce we want |
| 1872s | to see those the use of those kind of |
| 1873s | like increase a little bit right now we |
| 1875s | feel they're a bit too expensive so |
| 1877s | that's just a quick balance change that |
| 1878s | we're making um after that uh the bigger |
| 1881s | one that I'm I'm kind of interested in |
| 1884s | is that pirate and faction ships uh are |
| 1886s | no longer purchasable in LP stores inste |
| 1889s | you can only buy their bpcs so uh we |
| 1892s | really want to encourage players making |
| 1894s | ships and and the industry behind this |
| 1896s | and with that to encourage that there's |
| 1899s | some additional balance changes so we've |
| 1900s | also looked at the costs of making those |
| 1902s | ships and make sure that they're feeling |
| 1905s | a bit more balanced and Equitable some |
| 1906s | were a little bit more expensive than |
| 1908s | others and didn't really seem as viable |
| 1910s | to make so uh We've adjusted those kind |
| 1913s | of costs to be uh a little bit more fair |
| 1916s | so that we're seeing more more ships |
| 1917s | created |
| 1918s | we're also removing the neurolink |
| 1920s | conduits uh as a part of manufacturing |
| 1923s | the ships they were too expensive they |
| 1924s | just were kind of a hindrance rather |
| 1927s | than helping this and instead there is a |
| 1930s | uh a new component called net resonators |
| 1932s | that you can buy with LP at the sort of |
| 1935s | uh pirate faction specific stores so |
| 1938s | yeah this is a a big change I think it |
| 1941s | aligns really well with the philosophy |
| 1943s | of Eve's design and I'm excited to see |
| 1945s | how it turns out CCP rard B you were |
| 1947s | very Tor about this one this has been a |
| 1949s | long-term thing on your wish list as |
| 1951s | well hasn't it it it's just a it's a |
| 1955s | thorn in my side for so long like it |
| 1958s | just doesn't make sense to buy rade |
| 1960s | ships like it's an it's a game about |
| 1962s | player driven economy like um just a |
| 1965s | relic that we finally got the the the |
| 1968s | time to fix um it it really fits well |
| 1972s | with the kind of LP Focus that we have |
| 1974s | been going on for for years it basically |
| 1976s | all started with going into lowc |
| 1979s | uh you know highlighting LP like working |
| 1984s | more making more making it more fluid in |
| 1986s | the economy using LP more so basically |
| 1988s | it's just like probably the third third |
| 1990s | fourth fifth wave of just kind of the lp |
| 1993s | economy and Industry uh fixes just to |
| 1995s | make it modern and and exciting |
| 1997s | fundamentally to make it more |
| 2000s | approachable from everyone like if if if |
| 2003s | something's a niche and you need to |
| 2005s | learn very like many different things |
| 2007s | and it's like a specific style of |
| 2009s | gameplay it's just like unlikelier that |
| 2011s | people participate in because it's a |
| 2013s | black boxing don't understand it if if |
| 2015s | LP starts be just more |
| 2017s | understandable uh Works uh the same way |
| 2020s | corporations can tax it like now like |
| 2022s | everyone can just do what they want to |
| 2024s | do which is like fundamentally the |
| 2025s | freedom that we want to go for and we've |
| 2028s | also seen like we've seen a lot of |
| 2030s | younger players kind of go into faction |
| 2032s | Warfare so like it makes more sense to |
| 2035s | get young you know Young capsuleers into |
| 2039s | corporations um and they're running like |
| 2041s | they're running plexes uh you know even |
| 2044s | as young as as day two or day three uh |
| 2046s | so they're generating like meaningful |
| 2048s | revenue for for uh corporations um which |
| 2051s | can then be spent on all these awesome |
| 2053s | things in the on the lp |
| 2056s | Market I think the lp generation last I |
| 2059s | looked um was up at least |
| 2062s | Sixx since since Uprising so just an |
| 2066s | overall impact on the economy |
| 2068s | has sixfold uh increased the just the |
| 2071s | generation of LP and the throughput and |
| 2074s | like just the health of the economy so |
| 2077s | something to celebrate and we're not |
| 2079s | we're not done yet yeah yeah um there's |
| 2083s | a little bit more for coming for |
| 2086s | something else you can send your LP on |
| 2087s | coming soon as well especially for a |
| 2089s | carrier pilot uh we're introducing a a |
| 2092s | full Suite of of Navy variants of uh |
| 2095s | light Fighters and support Fighters so |
| 2098s | they'll work kind of like the way Navy |
| 2099s | drones do they'll be a bit tankier than |
| 2101s | Tech 1 or Tech 2 drones uh but they |
| 2104s | won't do as much DPS and they will be |
| 2106s | slightly or they'll be less effective at |
| 2108s | ewar rolls of support drones so it's a |
| 2111s | it'll just be another component thrown |
| 2112s | into the mix for um carrier pilots to |
| 2115s | make a decision about whether they want |
| 2117s | to stock Tech 1 Tech 2 or now Navy |
| 2119s | faction drones as well that'll be on the |
| 2121s | menu |
| 2122s | too um but carry on we're going to talk |
| 2124s | about wormholes next I |
| 2125s | believe Yeah final one up uh this again |
| 2129s | the C5 and C6 Wormhole sites have gotten |
| 2132s | some some balance changes uh really this |
| 2136s | comes back to again the the concept of |
| 2138s | risk and reward and commitment so uh a |
| 2140s | lot of the escalation sites are now sort |
| 2142s | of balanced to reward players who are |
| 2145s | committing with capital ships and kind |
| 2146s | of demonstrating that level of risk that |
| 2148s | we originally intended in those sites so |
| 2151s | uh yeah we'll see some AI behaviors that |
| 2153s | are um basically rewarding the players |
| 2156s | who do commit and do risk those ships uh |
| 2158s | to to those sites so that's that's one |
| 2160s | of the bigger changes |
| 2162s | there awesome um I'm sorry I was just |
| 2165s | reading twitch for a second um yeah so |
| 2168s | so now when people are doing a wormhole |
| 2170s | specially trying to escalate the sites |
| 2172s | they can't just like put their steak on |
| 2174s | put the capitals on the grid to spawn |
| 2175s | the extra Drifters and then bail out |
| 2177s | because if their capitals leave so do |
| 2179s | the extra Drifters so uh you'll have to |
| 2181s | put your anti on the table and leave it |
| 2183s | there for the duration of the fight so |
| 2185s | if you're living in a wormhole if you're |
| 2187s | hunting through wormholes rolling and |
| 2189s | looking around for targets and you come |
| 2190s | across people who are uh doing PVE |
| 2193s | they're going to have to uh there's |
| 2195s | there's a the chance it'll be like the |
| 2197s | good old days uh where you know you find |
| 2199s | an nag or something like that you can |
| 2201s | you get a tackle on that and then things |
| 2203s | can snowball from there and'll be uh you |
| 2204s | can turn into really exciting |
| 2207s | brawls all right um I think that's sort |
| 2209s | of like the extent of those like the |
| 2210s | bundle of joy surprise changes we hope |
| 2213s | they all sounded pretty good to you once |
| 2214s | again full details on the patch notes |
| 2216s | coming at the end of the Stream |
| 2218s | uh CCP aami thank you so much for |
| 2220s | joining us uh we'll let you off the hook |
| 2222s | now though and I do look forward to |
| 2224s | meeting you one day soon in rikic yeah |
| 2227s | hell yeah super nice to be here all |
| 2228s | right see you later and I'll just bring |
| 2230s | it back to myself burer and CCP retardi |
| 2234s | all right um I think we've got we've got |
| 2236s | one other director sort of up our |
| 2238s | sleeves who's just sort of been chilling |
| 2239s | around in the in the back at the moment |
| 2241s | but before we bring in CCB GOI is there |
| 2244s | anything else with regards to that that |
| 2245s | that Suite of changes that either of you |
| 2247s | want to talk about |
| 2249s | uh I think |
| 2250s | the one of the biggest kind of things |
| 2254s | that we knew we needed to fix and just |
| 2256s | we're waiting for the opportunity was |
| 2258s | Wormhole isk |
| 2259s | faucet and I'm um really happy with with |
| 2265s | uh what we've done um there's a lot of I |
| 2268s | would |
| 2269s | say uh there were a lot of good feedback |
| 2272s | uh from worm H holders um kind of |
| 2274s | preemptively trying to Nerf themselves |
| 2276s | so that we wouldn't |
| 2278s | and I think I think it ended up in a |
| 2281s | really good solution where we actually |
| 2283s | instead of trying to tackle like raw |
| 2286s | faucets like add more um add more risk |
| 2289s | add more |
| 2290s | commitment um and change the kind of the |
| 2293s | ship profiles uh the the loot |
| 2295s | distribution so I think it's a a super |
| 2298s | elegant solution uh that should not be |
| 2301s | just like Nerf 20% we want to we want to |
| 2305s | have people do these sites we want to |
| 2306s | have uh people out there and I want |
| 2308s | people to be targets when they do |
| 2311s | that on all right we've also got some |
| 2314s | graphical updates which have been coming |
| 2315s | which will be coming in the next |
| 2317s | expansion our team has already done a |
| 2319s | fantastic job as hopefully you've all |
| 2320s | seen with the new upwell structures with |
| 2322s | new upwell ships but there are a few |
| 2324s | things which haven't really we haven't |
| 2325s | really put a spotlight on yet so to talk |
| 2327s | about those we're going to bring in uh |
| 2329s | CCP goggi who is looking very very much |
| 2334s | like an artist right now you just need a |
| 2335s | baret um uh CCP the art director uh |
| 2340s | of Eve online I think we've had in |
| 2342s | streams before hello hello sir how are |
| 2344s | you doing how are you feeling about all |
| 2346s | the stuff that's coming from your area |
| 2347s | and showing up in Equinox soon yeah good |
| 2350s | you have just been chilling in the |
| 2352s | background like you said um yeah we told |
| 2354s | him we told him we'd be like 10 minutes |
| 2356s | and he' be on the air and it's been 45 |
| 2358s | so drinking three |
| 2360s | coffees smashing Red Bulls ttch chat he |
| 2363s | looks like a wormholer |
| 2368s | yeah no I feel really good about it um |
| 2371s | like you said it's uh it's been a really |
| 2374s | art heavy um uh release for us uh lot of |
| 2378s | big assets um you know the Skyhook you |
| 2382s | know all the structures moon miner sof |
| 2384s | hub for ships and support with Skinner |
| 2388s | so you know those are kind of the main |
| 2390s | things we've been focusing on |
| 2393s | um yeah and like I said they're all big |
| 2397s | projects um but on the side you know |
| 2399s | we're always trying to um update Eve as |
| 2401s | you know so we we ran into some issues |
| 2405s | you know when supporting especially the |
| 2407s | Skyhook you know and then kind of |
| 2410s | surface the problems of planets |
| 2414s | proximity with planets so you know kind |
| 2416s | of found some time to look at those yeah |
| 2419s | if you're going to be spending that much |
| 2420s | time around the structure that's just |
| 2422s | above the surface of the planet you |
| 2424s | might notice a few pixels on the planet |
| 2426s | Texas it's probably fair to say yeah |
| 2428s | just a few just a few all right show |
| 2430s | show in a bit yeah um what I was going |
| 2432s | to actually what I was going to start |
| 2434s | with there is just like the the VFX |
| 2435s | updates that are coming for for for |
| 2438s | bombs uh which is going to which looks |
| 2441s | really cool because recently we |
| 2442s | renovated the missiles and they look |
| 2443s | dope so now we're getting onto bombs as |
| 2444s | well and also some new explosion types |
| 2447s | are that are going to be coming so let |
| 2448s | me just like uh we'll just quickly put |
| 2451s | I'll throw them on the screen and we'll |
| 2452s | just like uh talk through them so first |
| 2454s | of all here is a comparison of the top |
| 2457s | is the bomb VFX looks in the game right |
| 2459s | now and down the bottom is how it will |
| 2461s | look in Equinox so it's just may been |
| 2464s | made a lot more interesting and exciting |
| 2466s | and sort of like brought more into line |
| 2468s | with the um the new missile explosions |
| 2470s | that I mentioned before so that'll look |
| 2471s | really really cool if you and your squad |
| 2473s | are doing a bombing run here's a closer |
| 2475s | look at the individual bombs one by one |
| 2478s | you also see that the actual radius of |
| 2481s | the explosion is now sort of better |
| 2483s | graphically |
| 2484s | represented so these will be really uh |
| 2487s | really cool up on uh nsec uh battle |
| 2491s | grids and things like that and the void |
| 2493s | bomb's got a really really sweet look to |
| 2495s | it and the new explosions that I alluded |
| 2498s | to so these new explosions have been |
| 2499s | authored for um the new upwell ships |
| 2503s | that are coming uh the new upwell |
| 2505s | structures and existing upwell medium |
| 2509s | and large structures so uh CCP goggi uh |
| 2514s | I believe a lot of this V VFX work done |
| 2517s | is done by CCP M and CCP Savor y that's |
| 2521s | it thanks for the kind you covered it |
| 2523s | pretty pretty well okay let's just sit |
| 2525s | here in silence for the next 90 seconds |
| 2527s | while this video finishes you really |
| 2529s | want to be a director yeah it's it's |
| 2531s | really nice update I mean we're always |
| 2534s | trying to update um if uh there's so |
| 2537s | many areas where we kind of want to |
| 2540s | touch up on VFX always a big one so um |
| 2543s | it's nice to see this update and |
| 2545s | especially like tying it like you said |
| 2547s | you know the radius indicating where |
| 2549s | where you take damage and and things |
| 2550s | like that so um yeah we look for |
| 2553s | opportunities to update um things like |
| 2557s | this whenever we can and have time and |
| 2560s | um yeah goes really nicely with the |
| 2562s | missile update that went up I love this |
| 2565s | one you see the stars get Warped a |
| 2567s | little bit just before the explosion |
| 2569s | like there's like a reactor going off it |
| 2570s | looks incredible and there was a note on |
| 2573s | screen before which some people may have |
| 2574s | noticed it said authed for tie-dye uh |
| 2577s | which essentially means that uh as my |
| 2580s | understanding is like in terms of the |
| 2581s | way the explosion executes and how much |
| 2583s | detail there is in it we realize lot of |
| 2586s | these structures might be exploding |
| 2587s | while there's time dilation around and |
| 2590s | uh so that's been taken to account as |
| 2591s | you can see here with sort of the the |
| 2594s | Majesty of the explosion being uh |
| 2595s | captured in slow motion for people who |
| 2597s | might be watching it at 10% of normal |
| 2599s | speed so for better or worse uh you'll |
| 2603s | have something pretty to look at once |
| 2604s | you win an objective on a Tio fight |
| 2607s | yeah it's really nice |
| 2610s | also yeah all right that's all I was |
| 2614s | going to show though uh you've got |
| 2617s | uh some stuff that you wanted to present |
| 2619s | as well uh with regards to the new |
| 2621s | planets just to sort of walk us through |
| 2623s | those yeah can do that so let me I'll |
| 2627s | share my screen now okay y go |
| 2630s | ahead cool all right I'll bring that up |
| 2633s | I'll punch it up on the main view screen |
| 2635s | so yeah so so like a mentioned before |
| 2638s | you know we're uh always looking to |
| 2641s | update um you know whether it's ships |
| 2645s | that are kind |
| 2646s | of yeah getting quite old need need |
| 2649s | model updates or textures or VFX or |
| 2651s | whatever uh so we're always on the |
| 2653s | lookout for those when we have time um |
| 2656s | but then sometimes you know these |
| 2657s | problems kind of surface uh tied to to a |
| 2661s | release and in this case it was um yeah |
| 2664s | the Skyhook being in or gaml in close |
| 2667s | proxim it with planets um so the ask was |
| 2671s | in the beginning like we wanted to have |
| 2673s | the sky hook you know very close like |
| 2676s | there were numbers thrown around like |
| 2678s | 1500 kilometers to a planet and like we |
| 2682s | wanted to have the distance uh like the |
| 2686s | same between planet sizes so you kind of |
| 2690s | so we can emphasize uh I guess the the |
| 2694s | scale difference of |
| 2696s | planets which we quickly figured out was |
| 2699s | not going to be possible because of |
| 2701s | course scale difference in Eve is |
| 2703s | um extreme to say the least so |
| 2708s | um you |
| 2710s | know I think it's like from the smallest |
| 2713s | planet to the big ones biggest ones you |
| 2716s | know it's like a multiplier by 50 or or |
| 2719s | more you |
| 2720s | know so but looking at this though you |
| 2722s | know you see uh the textures are just |
| 2724s | not holding up here in the background so |
| 2727s | um |
| 2728s | so we decided to have have a look at |
| 2731s | what we can do with you know tiling |
| 2733s | textures more and and relooking at just |
| 2735s | the planet shaders so um so we gave |
| 2739s | ourselves some uh gave ourselves time to |
| 2741s | kind of look into that so I can show you |
| 2744s | here some of the old planets um I'm just |
| 2747s | going to jump into a ship here |
| 2750s | and |
| 2752s | maybe just just in the spirit of Equinox |
| 2756s | I'm going to make it and pink for you |
| 2759s | guys yeah |
| 2762s | um is that okay Burger you prove this |
| 2766s | it's okay yeah yeah I'm I'm big for pink |
| 2768s | man always but here you see one of the |
| 2771s | old ice planets and kind of what we're |
| 2773s | facing what we're dealing with and um |
| 2779s | so uh so there is you know we haven't |
| 2781s | looked at the planets for a long time |
| 2783s | and so when we started digging into it |
| 2786s | we just saw a lot of stuff had broken |
| 2789s | and |
| 2790s | um and we found a lot of stuff that we |
| 2793s | can kind of improve and I'm jump into |
| 2797s | here another client graphite version |
| 2800s | here that I have um so here you see uh |
| 2805s | not a pink ship this time but an updated |
| 2808s | ice planet and you see the textures are |
| 2810s | um holding up a lot |
| 2813s | better um you know so some of the things |
| 2817s | we did uh you know fixing presets or |
| 2820s | reworking them tiling um up upscaling |
| 2825s | textures uh most if not all to 4K I'm |
| 2828s | not quite sure we also um tried to |
| 2833s | create more variation within each planet |
| 2836s | type um and a lot of fixes like on the |
| 2840s | temperate ones the details in the ocean |
| 2843s | layer had kind of |
| 2845s | disappeared um yeah well I could p on I |
| 2849s | could also just show you maybe a few |
| 2851s | more if you want to |
| 2854s | see loader up a few |
| 2858s | here |
| 2860s | so oh you have amazing Powers you can |
| 2862s | just spawn endless planets yes I can I |
| 2866s | can spawn planets uh I can show you the |
| 2868s | planet spawner if you want |
| 2870s | to this is I mean here I was thinking he |
| 2874s | his camera just reminded me of shen |
| 2875s | Connor and the Nothing Compares film |
| 2876s | clip but oh thank you he able to make |
| 2879s | planets as well it's full surprises H so |
| 2883s | here we have a planet spawner and we can |
| 2884s | kind of changed planets and something |
| 2888s | missing ah |
| 2890s | yeah we can jump |
| 2893s | to Lava planets yeah and you spawn them |
| 2898s | and they magically appear |
| 2901s | here but I wanted to show you like so |
| 2905s | here you see now the kind of uh the |
| 2907s | variety with we have within ice Planets |
| 2910s | For example |
| 2912s | right |
| 2914s | so we're getting a lot more |
| 2917s | um yeah nicer variety within each |
| 2921s | class yeah so we've we've like we've |
| 2924s | always had a tiny bit of variety within |
| 2927s | planets like Baron planets there is |
| 2929s | variety but they're all just so similar |
| 2932s | and uh one of the things that we're |
| 2933s | playing with now is is really pulling in |
| 2936s | kind of kind of ping the boundaries of |
| 2938s | of what colors we we can use and the |
| 2940s | color spectrums and just kind of make |
| 2943s | each each system feel more unique allow |
| 2947s | kind of each system to kind of it's your |
| 2950s | home and and and you know the planet so |
| 2952s | yeah here for instance you can see the |
| 2954s | baron the yeah huge variety yeah these |
| 2957s | are the new uh versions of Baron so |
| 2960s | we're introducing a bit more color and a |
| 2962s | lot more variety within them W and yeah |
| 2966s | when you can see kind of hold on jump |
| 2969s | back to the caracal here ah so you can |
| 2973s | see what how the textures are holding up |
| 2975s | you know a lot |
| 2980s | better I had I hadn't seen most of these |
| 2982s | until just now these look fantastic yeah |
| 2984s | me too it's really nice and |
| 2989s | yeah the lava plet as well they're so |
| 2992s | yep I have them here also y plasma super |
| 2997s | cool yeah so that we also changed the |
| 3000s | like the plasma and lava uh quite a bit |
| 3002s | hold on I need to find them I this is |
| 3005s | probably too much to hope for and I'm |
| 3006s | just having like you know one of my you |
| 3008s | know player moments here it's like do |
| 3010s | the do the more active lava planets |
| 3014s | produce more magmatic gas than the less |
| 3016s | active ones or is there is a |
| 3017s | relationship there or is it just no so |
| 3020s | okay we didn't have time to go that deep |
| 3022s | into it but um it's something we've |
| 3024s | talked about a lot is like this Mor |
| 3026s | logic |
| 3027s | and uh also like within I can show you |
| 3030s | with the temperate ones we're starting |
| 3032s | we have some glaciers on on some of them |
| 3035s | so there's you know there's a bunch of |
| 3037s | ideas to kind of hook up |
| 3039s | more |
| 3041s | um I guess to make it makes more sense |
| 3044s | yeah but like this time around no it's |
| 3047s | just they're just spawned like |
| 3050s | this I'm just super happy to see this |
| 3053s | because I I think maybe one two years |
| 3055s | ago remember when the like Ultra highr |
| 3058s | pictures came from Saturn |
| 3061s | Jupiter and like it was just so like |
| 3066s | cool to see them like this kind of hyper |
| 3069s | detailed and like way more variable than |
| 3071s | like than you expected with these |
| 3073s | planets uh same thing with the Sun so |
| 3075s | like seeing this imitated here and or |
| 3078s | even kind of beyond beyond reality here |
| 3081s | is super cool |
| 3084s | yeah and it's also interesting because |
| 3086s | we are I mean we've also been working |
| 3088s | really hard um on one card and one card |
| 3091s | happens down on the planet so so that's |
| 3093s | also kind of opened up a really good |
| 3095s | conversation about okay how do they how |
| 3098s | do they look how do they feel how do |
| 3100s | they you know what are the materials |
| 3101s | that are kind of what are the planets |
| 3104s | made of and and that kind of allows us |
| 3106s | to play with colors that are a bit |
| 3109s | Wilder and bit kind of pushing the |
| 3111s | bounds without you know maybe becoming |
| 3114s | too Fantastical but but absolutely it's |
| 3116s | it should know just be kind of gray and |
| 3118s | brown |
| 3120s | um exactly we and there is you know |
| 3124s | opportunity to to push this a lot but uh |
| 3127s | I think it's super nice for the kind of |
| 3129s | first even you know yeah first update |
| 3134s | with planets for a long time so I think |
| 3136s | it's uh yeah it's really interesting |
| 3138s | really nice update along with everything |
| 3140s | else that the team is produced like I |
| 3141s | said before the new structures new ships |
| 3143s | um just a really nice trying to make a |
| 3147s | pink planet for |
| 3148s | you you can only go so far all right |
| 3151s | going have to talk to uh CCP Amino who |
| 3154s | works on this tool yeah I have it |
| 3156s | hardcoded it's not |
| 3160s | possible CH |
| 3162s | channeling yeah all right well thank you |
| 3165s | very much for walking through CCP |
| 3167s | we've just got a coup we're almost |
| 3169s | towards like the the time for the stream |
| 3171s | but we still got a few other things we |
| 3172s | want to cover so um we can bid you a due |
| 3176s | and uh I'll just sort of like wrap up |
| 3178s | the last couple of things with CCB snor |
| 3180s | CCB |
| 3182s | CC thanks for having me I'll go back and |
| 3185s | chill yeah no wor you can put your feet |
| 3187s | up now I have eight more Reds it'll be |
| 3189s | fine it into |
| 3191s | black all right okay so that's all been |
| 3194s | really really sweet um but there was a |
| 3196s | couple of things there was a Dev blog |
| 3197s | that came out today which sort of um was |
| 3201s | uh relevant to sort of like the Cadence |
| 3203s | of um how Equinox will actually unfold |
| 3207s | so when the expansion comes out on 11th |
| 3209s | of June there will be a day two and then |
| 3211s | a day n addition to day is day two is in |
| 3216s | two days later day nine is in nine days |
| 3217s | later the 20th of June additions to the |
| 3220s | content in it will be progressively |
| 3222s | unlocked so um would one of the two of |
| 3225s | you like to talk a little bit about that |
| 3227s | Cadence yeah absolutely so |
| 3230s | um so the expansion is coming out on the |
| 3232s | 11th uh and uh there's a lot of amazing |
| 3236s | things and and I know that there's a lot |
| 3238s | of uh nsac uh uh Community the NC |
| 3244s | Community is definitely starting to map |
| 3245s | out uh different planets and different |
| 3248s | planet types it will take a couple of |
| 3249s | days for for uh people to build up um |
| 3254s | Sky Hooks and and uh kind of the the |
| 3256s | base infrastructure so we will actually |
| 3259s | have have uh so by kind of day three we |
| 3262s | will be a people players will be able to |
| 3264s | start building the the auton minor and |
| 3267s | um then on the 20th we're actually going |
| 3269s | to we're going to give people like kind |
| 3271s | of a week's window to to get things |
| 3274s | going before um on the 20th where |
| 3277s | actually we're going to have a follow-up |
| 3280s | uh opening where people can actually |
| 3281s | start moving uh moving their their uh |
| 3285s | kind of s to the new S hub kind of |
| 3288s | swapping the systems over flipping |
| 3290s | between let's call let's call Legacy s |
| 3292s | and the the new sovereignty system yeah |
| 3295s | but but on top of that we're also um |
| 3298s | we're we're also going to be rolling out |
| 3300s | with Skinner on on June 11th and people |
| 3304s | will be able to players will be able to |
| 3305s | uh to start digging up all those awesome |
| 3308s | colors around space and and customizing |
| 3311s | their ships uh players will be able to |
| 3314s | like you know decide if they wantan to |
| 3315s | if they want to apply the skin to their |
| 3317s | own ships or if they're actually going |
| 3319s | to stockpile them and and uh add them to |
| 3322s | the uh Paragon store uh kind of player |
| 3325s | store which will be opening on on June |
| 3327s | 20th we wanted to kind of hold back on |
| 3329s | the store for like a week so or nine |
| 3331s | days so players can like build up good |
| 3334s | um a good stock of of skin so the store |
| 3337s | doesn't open up empty and we're |
| 3339s | extremely excited to to see uh what |
| 3343s | players will come up with uh we are |
| 3345s | going to allow you all to pick if you |
| 3347s | sell your skins for Plex or isk um |
| 3350s | that's up to you um so so that's going |
| 3354s | to be a big one uh so |
| 3357s | and also on the 20th um the next E1 cart |
| 3361s | uh there's a major update to E1 cart |
| 3364s | where we're going to open up a a new map |
| 3369s | um on a tempered Planet uh vegetation |
| 3373s | for the first time in a in a Eve Suter |
| 3375s | ever so that's going to be interesting |
| 3377s | to see see kind of how people and water |
| 3380s | good and water and water yeah yeah there |
| 3383s | hasn't been like proper water before as |
| 3384s | well never water never |
| 3387s | and uh I played a build this the other |
| 3389s | day weapon modification as |
| 3391s | well sorry weapon modification as well |
| 3394s | yeah 100% weapon modification uh some |
| 3397s | new challenges uh lots of new content um |
| 3402s | y it's a it's a it's a major major |
| 3404s | update it's like vastly improved |
| 3407s | shooting it it it's a it's a big |
| 3409s | overhaul it's a it's a real build yeah |
| 3411s | that's from the last one it's uh it's |
| 3413s | radically different I only got my chance |
| 3414s | to get hands on with it first time the |
| 3416s | other day not always a new map Great uh |
| 3418s | but the persistence between sessions as |
| 3420s | well so if you in a session you get some |
| 3423s | cool mods for your weapons like can get |
| 3425s | stuff you slap on like different Optics |
| 3427s | things that increase its rate of fire or |
| 3430s | damage and that sort of stuff if you |
| 3431s | extract with those you can keep them in |
| 3433s | a stash and you'll be able to equip your |
| 3435s | weapon for future outings with it so the |
| 3438s | weapon is getting taller rather than |
| 3440s | going wider with more weapons you the |
| 3443s | the flexibility of the weapons will come |
| 3444s | from how you choose to customize it |
| 3447s | and C Burger alluded to it before there |
| 3449s | were a couple of sites which really |
| 3450s | surprised me where your squad kind of |
| 3452s | has to we've had mining in the game for |
| 3453s | a while but now there are sites where to |
| 3456s | get the thing your squad has to sort of |
| 3458s | like to an extent synchronize their |
| 3461s | activities around a certain site like |
| 3463s | pull a lever here at the same time cut a |
| 3465s | panel off and that can trigger a |
| 3467s | response from p uh from from NPCs and it |
| 3470s | really changed the vibe I was getting |
| 3472s | from the game like I can the the scope |
| 3476s | of the |
| 3477s | was becoming more apparent in front of |
| 3478s | me like where we actually going with |
| 3480s | this like we've said in some previous |
| 3482s | interviews with um CCB Collins this |
| 3484s | isn't just an extraction shooter this is |
| 3486s | like a Sandbox shooter um where bringing |
| 3489s | you know with the mining Edition we're |
| 3490s | basically bringing careers into the FPS |
| 3492s | as well it's uh I'm really excited for |
| 3494s | it it's it's it's shaping up to be super |
| 3496s | super cool and this play test if you if |
| 3498s | you've kind of like fell off a little |
| 3500s | bit for the last two or three play tests |
| 3502s | because there were only being |
| 3503s | incremental improvements definitely get |
| 3505s | back and try this one again because it's |
| 3506s | a completely new ball game yeah and I |
| 3509s | mean our goal is to uh the reason why we |
| 3511s | opened up the doors this early is |
| 3512s | because we want to develop this with the |
| 3515s | community uh so there's a lot of |
| 3517s | community feedback that we're actually |
| 3519s | taken into into this build and this is a |
| 3521s | build that the team has been uh the |
| 3523s | vanard team has been building for for |
| 3526s | they've been working on this build since |
| 3528s | um November so there's a lot of like |
| 3531s | multiple months of work uh com together |
| 3533s | here that we're rolling in rolling out |
| 3535s | um this is uh I mean we have a fantastic |
| 3540s | the vanard team is absolutely fantastic |
| 3542s | it's a lot of like FPS veterans um |
| 3545s | there's a lot of like knowledge sharing |
| 3547s | happening between the the flying in |
| 3549s | space team and the boots on the ground |
| 3551s | team um so it's it's the development of |
| 3555s | Ward is really pushing forward both um |
| 3559s | the flying in space experience and the |
| 3560s | books on ground experience so I'm very |
| 3562s | very excited to to get this in front of |
| 3565s | everyone get people fly |
| 3567s | people shooting each other in the face |
| 3570s | we want to big a big build a bigger |
| 3571s | Universe we need more new fresh blood |
| 3574s | into the universe and um it it it's |
| 3578s | healthy for for Eve to get more more |
| 3581s | people in more ingrained but you all |
| 3584s | everyone who has an Omega |
| 3587s | account are able to download and play so |
| 3590s | yeah just try it it's literally free for |
| 3593s | you so just come on down play it um and |
| 3597s | kind of make the world a bit more |
| 3599s | versatile more flavorful with more types |
| 3601s | of people absolutely yep um and uh we we |
| 3607s | mentioned Skinner and Vanguard but of |
| 3608s | course like as we mentioned home front |
| 3610s | new core projects are coming which will |
| 3612s | enable uh small organizations to |
| 3614s | basically run their own SRP which is |
| 3616s | kind of huge I I know a lot of people |
| 3618s | might have heard that news and like oh |
| 3619s | we've already got at SRP but most of the |
| 3622s | big alliances who have like the the |
| 3624s | numbers and have their own it |
| 3626s | infrastructure for example will have |
| 3628s | this basically taken care of but this |
| 3630s | means that your smaller organizations |
| 3632s | can also um you take advantage of tools |
| 3634s | like that for when it comes to um for |
| 3637s | when it comes to reimbursing ship losses |
| 3639s | after fights so it's not a redundancy |
| 3641s | it's an expansion of this thing which is |
| 3644s | usually only available to very sort of |
| 3646s | distinct well equipped groups and |
| 3648s | democratizing it and making it available |
| 3650s | to everybody and that's in addition to |
| 3652s | the new tasks such as for for example |
| 3654s | like you know uh tracking Salvage |
| 3657s | and things like |
| 3658s | that um |
| 3661s | and I think we've sort of like come to |
| 3664s | the end of the material for the stream |
| 3667s | today yeah do you both feel that way |
| 3670s | like um I just want to make sure I |
| 3672s | haven't overlooked anything important |
| 3673s | that we want to talk about but I think |
| 3674s | we've covered it all pretty much I think |
| 3676s | the new daily goals are are like I look |
| 3681s | a lot ex y car on seeing them um again |
| 3686s | it it uh it it's basically getting more |
| 3689s | people into space that's the core of it |
| 3691s | yeah trying to to make it more um also |
| 3696s | kind of palatable so that you have |
| 3698s | something like literally like that you |
| 3700s | can do so the splitting the daily goals |
| 3703s | into kind of career focused should like |
| 3705s | alleviate a lot of the problems that |
| 3707s | players had before of like go kill 10 15 |
| 3710s | uh NPCs in the abyss like that not not |
| 3713s | necessarily something that you can just |
| 3714s | like do but more of uh it's more of like |
| 3718s | a primer of just like kind of undock and |
| 3720s | do something like you're going to be |
| 3722s | fine every day you'll have four things |
| 3723s | to do one for each career you only have |
| 3726s | to do two of them and they're all the |
| 3727s | same for every single player so you can |
| 3729s | do them with your alts and things like |
| 3730s | that if you want yeah exactly um and |
| 3733s | then uh sugar on top Plex reward for |
| 3737s | that um two very interesting things we |
| 3740s | wanted we basically just want to kind of |
| 3742s | uh see where it goes it it's kind of fun |
| 3745s | it it's kind of fun to to to uh |
| 3748s | collector Plex to be able to tip like |
| 3750s | buy Omega or buy some skin components or |
| 3752s | or something but just we just want to |
| 3754s | kind of embrace the freet to-play aspect |
| 3756s | of it let people try out this premium or |
| 3759s | the hard currency sell it for risk if |
| 3761s | you want because that's actually going |
| 3762s | to be healthy for the game in the long |
| 3764s | term if we have a a low kind of uh or |
| 3769s | like kind of behind activity income |
| 3772s | stream of Plex and you just want to sell |
| 3775s | it we're going to create a a healthy |
| 3776s | supply of Plex into the market uh maybe |
| 3780s | reduce the price and kind of get the |
| 3782s | ball rolling a little bit so like this |
| 3784s | is a it's a very interesting economic um |
| 3788s | kind of evolution of the game right |
| 3792s | on all right well uh ccpb if you're |
| 3795s | watching you can press the button for |
| 3797s | the patch notes now if you want you can |
| 3798s | publish those and those are those will |
| 3800s | probably go live on the EV online |
| 3801s | website in just a couple of minutes so |
| 3803s | you can start pressing |
| 3804s | F5 they are ridiculous long I think |
| 3807s | cated there if you if you're into |
| 3809s | reading science articles from journals |
| 3813s | like nature it's like uh two and a half |
| 3815s | science article long uh and that's not |
| 3818s | even counting text on |
| 3820s | images yeah no it'll be a lot of |
| 3822s | scrolling so if you got one of those |
| 3823s | mice where you can click the button and |
| 3825s | you you just give it one spin that's |
| 3826s | probably what you want to do rather than |
| 3828s | have to sit there and you you'll get RSI |
| 3830s | and your middle finger and your index |
| 3832s | finger um okay I think we're done |
| 3837s | um uh not that I'm impatient to leave |
| 3839s | but I just don't want to like overstay I |
| 3840s | welcome um the the patch notes are |
| 3843s | getting published uh you've got all |
| 3844s | weekend to check them out the uh E |

| 3857s | bundle of joy stuff really really |
| 3859s | exciting there's even more stuff in the |
| 3861s | patch notes we probably haven't even |
| 3862s | covered yet and of course the details |
| 3863s | about all the things that we have spoken |
| 3865s | about uh any closing thoughts from CCP |
| 3867s | burger or CCP |

| 3874s | this journey with you all like we've |
| 3876s | been we've been uh trying to kind of |
| 3880s | keep a bit more focus on these |
| 3881s | expansions with with kind of kind of a |
| 3884s | continuation of the of the narrative and |
| 3886s | the story that we're we're trying to |
| 3887s | tell that you know that being the actual |
| 3889s | lore of the game or kind of the focus on |
| 3892s | War the future of war the focus on on |
| 3894s | ownership and and making space your and |
| 3898s | you know making it your own and now |
| 3900s | we're doing it with with even more |
| 3901s | structures with uh you know personalized |
| 3903s | ship skins uh I'm looking forward to |
| 3906s | seeing the the uh I don't know football |
| 3910s | football uniforms or arm uniforms that |
| 3913s | corporations and alliances are GNA start |
| 3916s | flying in um I I can see I can |
| 3919s | definitely see lots of lads of uh B |
| 3923s | looking ships flying around space I know |
| 3925s | that there are couple of bees around CCP |
| 3927s | that have been like practicing their |
| 3929s | skills and and there's also a lot of |
| 3931s | people from other corporations and |
| 3933s | alliances that have been like playing |
| 3935s | with their Alliance colors to make sure |
| 3937s | that they get it just right um and and |
| 3941s | you know we've been focusing on |
| 3942s | friendship and strengthening |
| 3943s | organizations and |
| 3945s | corporations |
| 3946s | uh there's a lot there are lots of |
| 3949s | fantastic things coming out in this |
| 3951s | expansion there are loads of things that |
| 3953s | are kind of precursors to to things that |
| 3954s | we want to do in future EXP expansions |
| 3956s | so we'll keep a close eye on that and |
| 3958s | and uh I'm actually really excited to to |
| 3961s | kind of see what you will do with the |
| 3964s | with the tools that we're giving you all |
| 3967s | uh I know I've found a couple of ways |
| 3969s | like quirky ways that I'm GNA kind of |
| 3971s | mess with space and but then kind of |
| 3975s | yeah how that will kind of lead us into |
| 3977s | the future that's a that's a that's a |
| 3979s | the next fantask to take on speaking of |
| 3982s | things what they'll create I wasn't I |
| 3983s | wasn't planning on showing this in the |
| 3984s | Stream but you just reminded me about |
| 3986s | CCP Devil's excellent esimu skin uh I'm |
