| 22s | Welcome back to the Pulse in the heart of Jita 4-4, |
|---|---|
| 27s | your regular source of news from EVE Online. |
| 29s | As the Road to Fanfest continues to bring us closer to the main event, |
| 33s | there are even more updates to share, |
| 34s | and the latest batch are now ready for you to check, |
| 36s | on the Singularity test server. |
| 39s | First up, changes to the Standup Point Defense Battery |
| 42s | will require it to use ammo loaded into the module, |
| 44s | as well as giving it a longer reload time. |
| 47s | This will create downtime for the Point Defense Battery, |
| 49s | so that there are windows for counterplay, |
| 51s | where small ships can drop into a fight, |
| 54s | and warp off before it’s reloaded and ready to fire again. |
| 57s | The Standup Guided Bomb Launcher attributes are being adjusted |
| 60s | so that it holds fewer bombs and takes longer to reload, |
| 63s | creating windows where bomb use is more tactical, |
| 65s | and not a structure’s primary defensive weapon. |
| 69s | The damage of Standup Anti-Capital Missiles has been reduced, |
| 71s | so that Capsuleers will be more willing to field capitals during a siege. |
| 75s | While their anti-capital use has been adjusted, |
| 78s | the missile speed of Standup Missiles has been increased, |
| 80s | so that they remain able to catch and damage subcapitals. |
| 84s | Standup Arcing Vorton Projectors will be receiving an update, |
| 87s | removing their ability to target subcapitals. |
| 90s | This means that they can’t be used purely to headshot enemy fleet commanders, |
| 94s | as well as further reinforcing their purpose as anti-capital defense. |
| 98s | A new Rorqual module has made it to testing on Singularity, |
| 101s | providing it with a new and powerful maneuverability & logistics tool. |
| 104s | Rorquals will now be able to conduit jump 30 mining ships next to them, |
| 108s | allowing for better logistics for large-scale mining operations. |
| 112s | Combined with unparalleled boosts and compression, |
| 114s | along with the already powerful PANIC modules, |
| 116s | and the fact that it will be able to jump to industrial cynos, |
| 120s | the Rorqual cements itself as the most powerful mining support ship |
| 123s | New Eden has ever seen. |
| 124s | The once strong and popular Proteus Tech III cruiser, |
| 127s | is underperforming compared to other ships in the line, |
| 130s | in part due to low fitting room and low speed, |
| 132s | so it too is receiving an update. |
| 134s | Its potential is being further unlocked through an easing up of its fitting space, |
| 138s | to allow more comfortable fitting |
| 140s | of a 1600mm plate alongside a full rack of neutron blasters |
| 144s | without the need to spend a low slot or rig on a fitting module. |
| 147s | The plate mass change will also give it a slight speed boost. |
| 151s | An issue fix for stealth bombers will increase their strength |
| 154s | as they receive a cooldown reduction for bomb launchers, |
| 157s | meaning that they will be able to come back for a second bombing run more rapidly. |
| 161s | The new Feature Preview system will allow you to opt-in and engage with complex features |
| 165s | still undergoing active development, |
| 167s | test driving them directly in the EVE client. |
| 169s | Learnings will be incorporated by allowing early access to these features |
| 173s | while they’re being developed. |
| 174s | This will launch with the UI unification project, |
| 177s | aimed at improving consistency, |
| 179s | and creating a better onboarding experience for new players. |
| 182s | The features offered in the preview system are temporary |
| 185s | and can easily be turned on or off. |
| 187s | It’s important to note that the features are in development |
| 189s | and not in their final form. |
| 192s | Until 31 March, you can save significantly on Omega and MCT in the EVE Store. |
| 196s | The 1 month Omega + 1 month MCT package is available at 30% off, |
| 201s | and the 3 month Omega + 3 month MCT package is available at a 50% discount. |
| 206s | The Monthly Economic Report for February 2022 is out now. |
| 210s | A levelling off in production values has been observed in February, |
| 213s | after a steady rise since November 2021. |
| 216s | The supply of raw materials has remained steady, with a small dip in ice mining. |
| 221s | The commodities market has continued to perform strongly as the primary ISK faucet, |
| 225s | however there was a small but significant spike in bounties. |
| 229s | That’s all for this episode of the Pulse, thanks again for joining us. |
