In the case of the Barghest, I believe that the familar phrase "TTP" now stands for "Time to Pancake."
I'm betting that a griddle like that can flip out pancakes at a pretty good rate. Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that.-á-á-á-á-á - Kina Ayami |

Nestor 2.0 i guess....yet another ship that is simply not worth the cost... It's the same range but they get to their targets twice as fast (attribute after 200% bonus is twice as much as attribute after 50% bonus, since 300% = 2 * 150%).

Quote:One of the things about MorduGÇÖs Legion that we are most excited about is the method by which the ships can be acquired. As usual, MorduGÇÖs Legion LP stores will have them on offer, but we are also going to be adding some new Legion patrols to asteroid belts across all of low security space. Like other pirate faction commanders, these spawns will be fairly rare.Unlike other factions, MorduGÇÖs Legion belt patrols will have 100% chance of dropping a blueprint for one of the new ships. This should make searching for MorduGÇÖs Legion patrols an exciting and rewarding activity, and because it happens in low sec, we expect that it will also lead to an increase in player combat--which is always fantastic. A small note: there will be other MorduGÇÖs Legion NPCs associated with some other new content in Kronos, but only the ones spawning in asteroid belts will drop BPCs for the Garmur, Orthrus and Barghest.
This is indeed an exciting new way to acquire rare/special items. My corp mates and i were discussed how this could revitalise low security space. We envisioned gangs roaming through low sec belts in search of the ship bpc or hunting people looking for the bpc.
I really hope that this is the shape of things to come and more special items are added to belt rat drops. However, I think it would be better if the specific bpc and mods drops were tied to a specific region. This would make each region feel a little more unique.
One question though - will these special blet NPCs have advanced AI (or abilities) to make it fun and challenging to acquire their loot or will they just be the run of them mill NPCs that anyone in a frigate can kill in a few shots? +1 |

Not going to happen. CCP has to to give the vast majority of goodies to null sec, or they get very upset, and CCP is terrified of an angry null sec. Most people viewed Orwell's writings as a warning. The harper regime and the goons treat them as a guidebook. |

The BPCs drop should be tied to a specific low sec region and all the existing pirate faction ships should be added to NPC drops in other specific regions.

Must be Canadian.
And terrified not of an angry nullsec, but an angry CFC. Look where the Mordu's systems are...oh yeah and the Sisters of Eve ones too.... hmmmmmm
Mordus systems
I rest my case. Just sayin... I mean they could have put them in deep Feyth or Omist and we wouldnt have complained for bringing us content, but noooooooooo

The whole idea is to give an appeal to more areas of space.
Nullsec remains good if you want to find Vindicators or Rattlesnakes.

It can be appealing and make sense at the same time. Maybe the pirate BSs probs are rarer in low sec compared to null... I just think it would be better if specific regions dropped specific ships. |

BPCs for the ships from the big 5 pirate factions can indeed drop in their own areas of lowsec, through exploration drops and asteroid belt commanders.

We could have easily limited the areas that the Mordus NPCs appeared in, there was no technical limitations involved in this choice.

You misunderstood the first part of what i said Fozzie. I' was betting that you (CCP) would prefer to apply this new belt prop distribution method to all pirate faction ships and have different pirate faction drops tied to different regions of space... But i could be wrong, there is a first time for everything
Either way, this is a nice new system and i hope you add more stuff that can lead to pvp away from gates/stations. +1 |

Hey Fozzie, I haven't found any Mordu's NPCs in belts yet so I haven't tested it on the test server, but could you confirm whether they are farmable in a stealth bomber? Did you have the use of stealth bombers in mind when designing them at all? I ask because I don't think an influx of stealth bombers farming Moru's ships adds anything to the low sec ecosystem--it is a very risk free activity (e.g., farming clone soldiers in SBs is very safe and if players can now also farm Mordu's rats at the same time this will become a much more popular play style)--which doesn't seem to stack well with how rewarding it could/will be. I did test whether you can run the Besieged sites in a SB--I couldn't get past the second wave--it is tricky, but I think doable. This is a worry I have, too. In general, I don't see a point of adding content to low sec if it involves little risk for players--as in the case of the safety of running content in a SB. |

We're definitely keeping long range stealth bomber farming in mind with all of this lowsec content. I think you'll find that the besieged sites are even harder to run with bombers as of the recent updates to SISI.
The Mordu's Legion belt rats have tricks up their sleeve for fighting off bombers and you may also be interested in this Kronos patch note:

Looking at the Sisi changes, they also seem to be getting a 30-50% increase in speed and 40% decrease in sig radius making them pretty much impossible to kill with Stealth Bombers :( |

Yeah I saw that, I will test it out later but I am very happy to hear that you are keeping this issue in mind. If stealth bomber farming was made difficult or impossible I think it would bring the risk/reward balance of farming clone tags while also farming Mordu's NPCs into better balance. (I say this both as a low sec pirate and, in another guise, as a non-PVPing low sec explorer who certainly would farm Mordu's NPCs in a bomber if viable.)
I've said this like 3498 times but thanks for paying so much attention to low sec, in my 2.5 years of living there it has changed for the better in a huge amount of ways.
