EVE: Vanguard (29. September 2015) - Was kommt?

EVE: Vanguard erscheint Ende diesen Monats am 29. September 2015 - und was wird uns erwarten? Und wird es einen Einfluss auf den Fraktionskrieg haben? Schauen wir uns die Features einmal im Einzelnen an!

Mehrfachkäufe

Dieses Feature habe ich mir selber einmal auf Singularity angesehen. Man kann dabei zwischen zwei Bereichen unterscheiden. Einmal, dem regulären Itemkauf, und einmal dem Fitting Einkauf.

Wenn man regulär Items kaufen will, kann man entweder auf die zu kaufenden selektierten Items einen rechtsclick machen und "buy all" auswählen, oder diese in das spezielle Fenster ziehen.

Rechtsclick für das "Buy All"

Wenn man darauf geklickt hat, sieht man die genaue Darstellung für welche Preise man die Sachen direkt ankaufen kann, und auch wie viele Orders man für den selben Bereich öffnen will. Das ist besonders praktisch wenn man ein bestimmtes Set an Items mit unterschiedlichen Einzelmengen mehrfach kaufen will.

Offenes Multibuy Fenster

 Das Fenster für den Multibuy erlaubt euch dann rechts oben bei der "Number of Orders" einzustellen, wie oft man das kaufen will.
Wenn man das Fenster für den Multibuy einfach öffnen will ohne den Rechstclick, geht das über das Marktinterface:

Links oben sieht man den neuen Knopf

Doch einer der besten Bereiche wie ich finde betrifft dabei das Fitting.

Denn hier ist rechts unten ein Knopf dazugekommen: "Buy fit". Damit kann man direkt ein passendes Multibuy mit dem gesamten Fitting (ohne zugehöriges Schiff) öffnen. Das sieht dann gefüllt gleich so aus:

Das wird Sachen vereinfachen. Fehlt nur noch der Button "Multi-Fitt" - aber den gibt es ja noch nicht :-)

Wenn man bei dem offenen Mulitbuy Fenster über die Prozentanzeige - oder bei Nicht Finden des Items über die beiden horizontalen Balken mouse-overt, erscheint eine kurze Infografik.

Ein klick darauf öffnet auch direkt den passenden Marktartikel.

Ich denke - das System ist megaspannend - und wird gewiss noch mit Skills unterfüttert um Reichweiten zu erhöhen und ähnliches. Ich find's klasse :-)

Verbesserte Grafik: Stationen und Schiffe

Das PBR Rendering wird jetzt auch auf die Strategischen Kreuzer der Amarr und Minmatar sowie dieselben Stationen angewandt, was diesen Objekten dann eindeutig mehr Tiefe geben wird. Vom aktuellen Singularity Stand hier einmal zwei Bilder - einmal die Legion und die Loki.

Legion (Amarr)

Loki (Minmatar)

Der Vanguard-Titelsong

Den Song könnt ihr euch hier bei Soundcloud anhören
Und ja - EVE hat Musik :-) Einfach mal einstellen, ist echt ein Erlebnis. Ich mag die Musik, und fliege auch aktiv mit Sound.

Zähler für unangreifbare Tarnung nach einem Sprung

Diese Änderung ist lang erwartet. Man erhält jetzt einen sichtbaren Timer wie lange der Gatecloak noch dauert, und nicht nur ein ablaufender Ticker wie bei den Crimewatch Meldungen, sondern auch eine genaue präzise Anzeige via Mouseover.
Das wird Reisen durch Gates wesentlich angenehmer machen.

Neue Burner-Missionen: Guristas

Für all jene unter euch die gerne Missionen fliegen sind jetzt Level 4 Burner Missionen gegen die Guristas in Kreuzer Klasse hinzugekommen. Da werden gewiss wieder einige Zich-Milliarden ISK in den Äther geblasen bevor da eine auch nur ansatzweise sinnvolle Strategie steht :-)

Wurmlöcher-Polarisierungstimer

Ein ähnlicher Timer wie bei der Zeit nach dem Sprung taucht jetzt auch über einem Wurmloch auf, wenn man es schon einmal benutzt hat. Dadurch ist man jetzt in der Lage genau zu sehen, wann man wieder in die sichere Heimat zurück kann.

Sonden-Scankarte

Die Scan-Karte (Beta) Soll für die Sondenscans eine eigene Instanz bekommen. Ich habe damit etwas auf Singularity rumgespielt, konnte aber keinen wirklichen Vorteil dabei feststellen. Vielleicht kommt da noch etwas mehr, oder das ist für mich schlicht nicht sichtbar gewesen. 

Ship-Rebalance

Es werden mal wieder Schiffe verändert - und dieses mal sind die Battlecruiser an der Reihe. Da die Werte noch nicht fest sind will ich dieses mal keine falschen Hoffnungen schüren - aber es wird wohl folgende Schiffe treffen. Ich habe den jeweiligen dzaugehörigen englischen Dev-blog Text dazu gepostet - aber wie gesagt, wirklich Gedanken drüber machen sollte man sich erst, wenn sie live sind :-)

• Prophecy

Prophecy:

The Prophecy is a solid middle of the road in overall popularity, and is a flexible ship that's fairly well-regarded in the community feedback. Accodingly, it's buffs are a bit milder than those given to some of the other ships. Its version of the projection bonus is as 12.5% increase in drone microwarpdrive speed which is half of the bonus that the Algos, Dragoon and (max skilled) Vexor Navy Issue get. The significant increase in base mass alongside the big velocity and agility improvements are part of an overall trend in Amarr ships that allow them to mitigate the negative effects of fitting large armor plates (among other smaller effects). 

Amarr Battlecruiser skill bonuses:

4% bonus to all Armor Resistances 

10% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints

• Harbinger

Harbinger:

The Harb is struggling a bit more in power level and popularity, and is therefore getting stronger than average buffs to speed and agility along with a bit more armor and some valuable capacitor. The falloff portion of the role bonus doesn't do much for lasers, but we are leaving it in because we don't see a good reason to break the consistency of the bonus across the class. The Harb is especially well placed to take advantage of the optimal portion of the role bonus with either pulses or beams.

• Ferox

Ferox:

The Ferox is getting a very significant change in the form of a new skill bonus and slot changes. The shield resistance bonus is being swapped for hybrid damage, and a highslot (and turret) is being traded for a mid. This leaves the Ferox with 7.5 effective turrets (compared to 7 before) and the ability to use the new midslot to either compensate for the resistance bonus or to go in a completely different direction through tracking computers, webs, or whatever else you wish. The extra range provided by the role bonus is obviously valuable for fleet fighting with rails, and the addition of falloff helps the Ferox take advantage of its range advantage with blasters as well.

Caldari Battlecruiser skill bonuses:

5% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret damage (Was shield resistances)

10% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret optimal range

Role Bonus:

25% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret optimal range and falloff

Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 75km (+10) / 195 / 8

Sensor strength: 19 Gravimetric

Signature radius: 295 

Cargo capacity: 475 

• Drake

Drake:

The Drake is not particularly favoured among elite pvpers these days, but remains extremely popular overall. It has benefited significantly from the Aegis missile changes, especially the Heavy Missile damage buff. The extra powergrid and mobility will prove valuable to this ship and we expect it to remain of the most commonly flown Battlecruisers in New Eden. The range bonus in this case is especially useful for fleet fits with heavy missiles. I know some players will be dissapointed that the damage bonus continues to be restricted to kinetic, but we do believe that damage specific bonuses are a useful tool for creating interesting distinctions between ships and we have no plans to phase them out.

Caldari Battlecruiser skill bonuses:

4% bonus to all Shield Resistances 

10% bonus to heavy and heavy assault missile kinetic damage

Role Bonus:

25% bonus to missile velocity

Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 65km (+5) / 195 / 8

Sensor strength: 19 Gravimetric

Signature radius: 295 

Cargo capacity: 450 

• Brutix

Brutix:

The Brutix is receiving significant mobility buffs, taking the title of most agile T1 BC as well as gaining extra hull HP and spare drone capacity. The combined optimal and falloff bonus fits especially well with blasters, helping the Brutix apply its excellent DPS more consistently across more combat situations.

Gallente Battlecruiser skill bonuses:

10% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret damage

7.5% bonus to Armor Repairer effectiveness

• Mymidon

Myrmidon:

As one of the most powerful and popular T1 BCs, the Myrm is receiving the smallest buffs in this package. The drone velocity bonus matches the Prophecy, and the mobility buffs here are a bit milder than average.

7.5% bonus to Armor Repairer effectiveness

10% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints

• Hurricane

Hurricane:

The Hurricane remains one of the most popular BCs, although at a more moderate usage level than it has seen during certain parts of its past.It benefited significantly from the autocannon falloff buffs earlier this year, which will be magnified by the new role bonus. Extra drone bandwidth and bay, more powergrid and significantly increased speed round out the overall package.
