I don't really get the point of drone bandwidth.
IE: in my covetor, the bay is 50 m3. 5 drones, each 10 m3, and I can field 5. 'K.
So they are limiting ships to basically the SAME limit they have now? Whats the point of that? Unless they increase the bay size so you can use mining drones, then recall and toss out fighters, or recall your fighters and toss out repair drones. And to do that, you'd need a bigger bay anyways.

As I've said before, blanket nerfs are not a good idea, and not well thought through. And yes, I'm using the Arazu as my example... deal with it.
An Arazu has two purposes. To Scout and Lock Down an Enemy for a gang. And to support a fleet with the same thing.
Without adjusting the bonuses on the Arazu, it's now a fairly useless ship for both of it's roles. I cannot lock down and pin an enemy and await for reinforcements, if he can target and smoke me in a few seconds.
RSD's are the life/death of Arazu's. This needs to be seriously reconsidered.
I admit freely that RSD's are overpowered in general, but ships made specifically to survive by their use, need to keep their current status quo.

It will greatly reduce the number of wallet transaction records stored in the database, as all of the rats that you kill in 15-20 minutes will be creditted in a single transaction instead of several dozen. This will improve DB preformance and make the wallet export more usable.
Ah, well the notes could have been a bit clearer. I thought there would be a delay of 15 minutes then all the bounties would be paid as they are now, and not as a lump-sum.

Drone bandwidth is implemented to allow dedicated drone-boats (and others) to bring along reinforcement-wave drones, and at the same time limit them from fielding five heavies on a cruiser.
Big dronebay in Rev = bigger drones, but still just 5. Big dronebay in Trin = Limited by bandwidth, thus still fielding med drones, but can bring a lot more, so if they go pop, launch another. Or bring several kinds of drones for different damagetypes etcetc.
And about the ratting payout:
Once you kill an NPC, a clock starts ticking. Every NPC you kill (belt rat or mission rat) during that time gets accumulated to one big payout. That payout will be payed if you jump system (unsure about that) or if you wait 25 minutes. You still get the same payout. This is to reduce database read/writes and increase performance overall. Imagine you kill 80 rats. That's 80 writes in the database, and 80 writes in your wallet. Now, imagine you kill those rats in less than 40 minutes. That's 2 writes in your wallet, and 2 to the database. Some increase in performance, hmm?

Yes, but the transactions have to be stored somewhere before the credit to your wallet, question is where?

The solarsystem node's memory propably, if they hope to decrease the amount of DB transactions with it. Changing the bounty payouts from single payout to blob payout, also means less data for the server to send to your client.

what i dont understand is that ccp nerf the carier like this, when basicly 90% of eve dont feel like its needed... i know its there game and all, but ffs.. listening to the player base is always a good idea...
ya well lets see when it is renerfed... the next patch will prolly be that u can only launch 5 fighters. if that happends i know alot who leaves.. enough is enough really.. some people have trained for a LONG time under FALSE ideas... nerfing isent always good... and also with the new heavy dictor i wouldent pilot a mom in the first place... rather be in the dictor hehe... they ROCK. 1 dictor with 1 carier repping it while shoting at the mom... BYE motherships... was nice seing you.....
NOT good ccp... u ****** up players who have trained for along time... im not happy... eye candy or not... it just aint all...

Someone get out of the wrong side of bed this morning or maybe forgot to have there weetabix?
Thought i paid for the game when i got it and each time i pay everytime i run out of eve time. Wont even be able to use the "Premium Graphics Content" anyways so to me it wont mean much. But i do know they've put alot of time and money into this great game which im not attacking. Just wondering if they'll give us that day back...

'Drone groups will properly persist after logging off.'
Does this mean they disappear when a player logs off and reappear when a player logs on?

No. There was a bug when you created drone groups that they disappeared. Now they won't --- My Videos: Noob on tour I Noob on tour II - not final |

Awesome stuff CCP, seriously. i doubt WOW would ever get something quite this big. especially love the heat improvements and drone bandwidth thing. they'll both increase tactical options, and really make you have to make decisions in battle. We are, after all, flying big Spaceships, and ships are generally complicated. i dont understand the people who wont combat overly simplified, its just stupid.
Oh, and distillers, seriously, thats like your boss saying "im tripling your pay,halfing your work day and promoting you from janitor to CEO and im giving you your unpaid vacation!" you:"IM NOT GETTING PAID FOR THE VACAION!!??"

Yes, that would be quite nice... IF the information on H-Dictors did not specifically state that you cannot remote support them while the disruption field is active. Way to read. --------------------------------------

The one thing I'm concerned about is whether or not we'll be able to DL the full (enhanced graphics/client) expansion as either patch or gross client install from the site Out of Game, or if the only way to get the extra graphical stuff is through background DL while playing. I log on to EVE from a dial up line, so it would be physically impossible for me to DL this at home. I can however DL it from school and transport the data back, but not in game, as the client won't run here. --------------------------------------

The reason for being grumpy about your question is that every single patch this question gets asked over and over. It's not a problem unique to EVE. The problem of people not knowing how to use the sodding search function before posting a question exists on just about every forum on the web.
As far as I'm aware (and my searches reveal) CCP has never refunded anyone for upgrade downtime. Given that the game's been running 4 years, I'd take that as a pretty big hint.

Won't the change to bounties hurt new players? Currently, a new player running lvl 1 missions won't pay tax, because each individual kill doesn't pay enough bounty to trigger the corp tax rate. But if it is paid as a lump sum, these low-isk bounties (which I assumed were untaxed to help new players) will have a high enough total to trigger the tax.
