I saw what looked like a test of a new jet in one of my games.

It came flying in across the map, looked like it bombed a turret off in the distance, and then took off.

It was fast, sleek looking, and pretty awesome! Can't wait to fly it.

When they showed Dust gameplay the first few times, back at fanfest iirc, they showed gameplay where one of the devs sucked at flying a jet-copter type craft, they then crashed into a building because he is a terribad pilot.

you can spawn the air strike by the unreleased fighter bombers by doing the following.

1st, you need to be in a minmatar logi suit. You need 700 War points, BUT NO MORE. So don't join a squad. Then , and this is important, you need to get back into the MCC, and wait in front of the door inside for 20 seconds, it will open and you'll be allowed into bomber control. This can also be done by glitching through the door.

Once inside spend your 700 war points and then quickly jump out of the MCC! you don't want to miss the fun!

The Jove are watching..

Those aren't UFOs, they're EVE players.

(not really)

Confirm/deny this happened?

Well it most certainly isn't EVE players (If it was seen in the planet's atmosphere and I'm guessing it was) because their ships are made partly out of tritanium... Which explodes when it enters atmosphere. But yes we are getting Sub-Orbital Fighter Ships. If you pay attention in the opening cinematic you can see them near the end. And in some concept arts they are there as well.

Yanno, you'd think that, but apparently the ORBOMB ammo is made from Tritanium....

Edit: In the lore there is also a weapon designed to blast apart walls that uses Tritanium rods that are exposed to the atmosphere. Not sure why that's relevant, just thought I'd throw it out there.

This would be the "Spoke Bomb" mentioned in the EVE novels. It's quite nasty and is usually used for clearing rooms, destroying structures, forced entry and clearing debris in search and rescue operations.

As for the use of titanium in ship building, it's generally alloyed with other metals and as such, isn't going to explode if it comes into contact with breathable atmosphere. It's the same concept as magnesium and potassium being pretty volatile metals on their own (try dumping a lump of raw potassium in water, or using setting fire to a pure magnesium ribbon).

When they're alloyed however, they lose a lot of their volatile properties. For instance Magnesium alloys are used to produce lightweight alloy wheels and engine parts for cars and trucks. It's the same for tritanium.

The issue that EVE's ships have isn't based around the volatile nature of tritanium, they simply aren't designed to fly in atmosphere. They're far too heavy, they don't have the right aerodynamic properties, and don't possess the correct control systems for air flow management to be able to manouvre correctly.

man, after watching that again, I think the game looked better, at least concept wise. it looked like players were buying the equivalent of null cannons and grouping them into what would be player bases ( just some structures people call down).

Also a titan in the atmosphere would never be a good thing

and you just knew that all off the top of your head?

Confirm/deny this happened?

However, some PI facility descriptions mention the use of Tritanium requiring vacuum chambers to avoid issues - Why don't they just alloy it like the starships?

and you just knew that all off the top of your head?

I was joking, honestly.




Those applications specifically require pure tritanium.




Falcon and I know pretty much everything lore-related off the tops of our heads.

Those aren't UFOs, they're EVE players.

PICS OR IT DIDN-¦T HAPPEND!!!!

I shall tempt.

because DEV's have a right to derail conversations too

they're hiding something

course they are, they make the damn game!

But they have a strong presence in this thread.

OMG this is big

stupid limit on quoting people, screwed up my post :(

CCP Falcon - you should totally describe the Veinshredder more. Just mentioning it in passing is irritating to those of us who actually read the lore -_-;

Guys near all the maps is a swamp. Swamps sometimes cause gas clouds. Obviously it was a gas cloud.

Yes but.....

DEVS ARE YOU LISTENING?

If CCP wants the award for the coolest thing ever done in gaming then we neeeeed to see a carrier drop through atmosphere a la BSG, release a wing of merc-piloted fighters at 1000m and a platoon of merc infantry at 100m, and punch the jump drive 50m before impact.

Force insertion New Eden style, I sez.

Coolest. Thing. Ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdkCpnGMyGw

I'm scared at the idea of opening a worm hole 50m from a planet surface....

Scared but eager to watch... from somewhere very far away, like on TV or something

from orbit at least
