The Big Talk

The Ishkune Scorpion Debacle

The response from CCP to TheMittani.com article:
“We did end up giving Ishukone Ships away to SOMER’s people as a “thanks” (as per the email) in a similar manner to our previous issuances of the ship. It’s always been meant to be a promo item–for awards, rewards, charity-based efforts, promo items and more. The IshScorp was never meant to be limited at all or “capped” at a certain number–hence why it only refines for 1 Trit and is worse gameplay-wise than the normal Scorpion. There will be more given out in the future by the comm team and others (I will likely give out some some via social and through PR) and I am sure the price will go down–kinda like the pirate noobie frigs we gave out at events.”

Feedback

“Dual Prop Dramiel is fairly common and useful, I’ve flown one myself. Since the Dram is so bloody fast if it gets scrammed it still has incredible speed with the AB and can often sig/speed tank at that point. Also, the dual ASB Hawk is awesome for small fights; you can run one ASB against another frig and when it runs out of charges switch to the other while the first reloads, or in a brawl you are outnumbered you can run both together for “uber-tank”. Remember, while it has charges it uses NO cap so can go a whole minute or thereabouts and not be cap vulnerable.”

– Cheers, Kirith Kodachi

Also, a blog post concerning his perspective on the SOMER Blink giveaway.

  1. This comment is a response to your position on the Ishukone Scorpion issue with Somer Blink.

    I know you said you weren’t around for the T20 scandal. But you don’t realize how big of a deal it was. You literally had a CCP dev secretly give an in-game alliance tons of items, such as tech 2 BPOs, and gave them information about upcoming game changes that had not been publicly announced. This incident led to the creation of the CSM.

    Every time CCP does something in-game that they keep secret, it reminds us all of the T20 scandal. If CCP wants to thank a group of players, it is absolutely their prerogative. The problem is the secrecy. Nobody is denying that Somer Blink has spent a huge amount of resources to make EVE Vegas better. But if CCP wants to give them in-game items that affect the in-game economy, CCP needs to disclose it. Because when things like this come to light, it makes me wonder what else they are doing in secret. And the backlash against the CSM is, in my opinion, completely justified. They are supposed to be our advocates to CCP, not CCP cheerleaders.
