This is very cool people! I just had to share it!
During a regular conversation with an unnamed CPM member they accidentally let go that CCP will very soon be adding war elephants to the game. Beyond that little slip there wasn't much more info as they quickly went quiet... What was evident though is that it seems to be intended for Uprising 1.8 so very soon indeed.
I personally can't wait to roam the battlefield on top of a raging armoured elephand with another 3 mercs on turrets. AWESOME!

I wonder if we could get a dev confirmation of this one. If it's already out, it's out.

Remove tanks, insert elephant. Brilliant!

Sounds farfetched to say the least. Even in Star Wars they used giant lizards alongside futuristic vechiles. Going advanced doesn't mean giving up on mother nature!

So....will they be alien like or be different colors? Look out everyone I'm gonna be rocking a proto elephant (protophant). Following update will probly have RC controlled mice to deter my beast. Not sure my fellow mercs will appreciate elephant sh;t left in the MCC. Maybe a low slot will be to have a clown follow me to pick it up. |

What sort of modules will I be able to fit to my war elephant? Can I use its trunk to hurl heavy dropsuits at low flying dropsuits?
Regardless of how it'll work, it's clear now why CCP didn't feel the need to nerf the Forge Gun, they'll need that damage to take on the War Elephant menace. Proto-stomping has never been a more accurate term for the future of this game.

this makes sense since minmatar can't make good tank treads out of rust and duct tape.

You do realize those crap movies caused death threats to be sent to George Lucas? This ultimately was the cause of him selling the franchise to Disney. Please do not ever refer to those **** films as Star Wars again. There were no lizards in Star Wars only chicken walkers. So CCP give us some damn chicken walkers!

War Elephants are OP. They need to be nerfed.
You should be able to solo a War Elephant.
They cost too much.
They cost don't cost enough.
Their BPO's need to be removed and refunded for real cash because they are game breaking and will mess with the market.
I will taken legal action if my demands aren't met.
I want 2 full respecs so I can skill into and then out of them because they will be the fotm.

Actually I can confirm that, during the creation of some of the modular wallpapers I was making (in particular the Caldari Plasma Warrior) a CPM member leaked that there were, in fact, Ptereodactyls slated for release and they did mention first hand that they would do everything in their power to make sure CCP adheres to that goal.
And for the conspiracy theorists out there, Halo featured a vehicle called the elephant so perhaps this is truly meant as a form of CPM code to inform us that CCP is working on SHAVs (Super Heavy Assault Vehicles)

Yes, because so much gets done when a dev responds to every single thread on the forums instead of sending it directly to the necessary people to get it fixed.
