I still reckon that CAST 514 is better 
But it's nice to have an official one. Can you get Wolfman on next episode to talk about the new guns and dropsuits we're getting with Uprising? |

Full. You get full respec because skill point system is drastically changed. |

Cool SP respec
Also you said sharpshooter will no longer increase max range, but instead accuracy at range?
Will there be a skill that increases max range again? Or is it gone for good? |

That's what I thought.
Glad to know I can use the 1.3 million SP I have without worrying about New stuff.  |

wouldnt mind if there wasnt one. higher efficiency over range may be a better way to go rather than have one guys GEK hit targets at 80m when someone elses only has 60.
while unpopular this would be a good change. instead of increased range, higher efficiency over range would provide a better game. one of the new players main disadvantages is the fact that veterans can outrange them a great deal with the same weapons.
the current system also resulted in duvolles hitting targets at over 100m and pistols accurate at 60+m.

Just an aesthetic note to CCP - you should probably lose the background noises. The sound quality in general wasn't so great; those noises almost washed out Frame's voice in particular in a couple of points earlier on in the thing, and are generally just distracting anyway.

Yes and I reallllllly hope that it will also include hacking stats for all dropsuits, and scan profiles for all vehicles!!! Also, hopefully you've really looked at all of the equipment that had falsly advertised fitting costs.
Also...will we be refunded isk for the skillbooks we spent isk on previously? |

If you are removing sharpshooter skills could you do us a favor and increase the default range of all guns? That way we don't have to make every engagement CQC

Beren, about 5 minutes in it's stated that they will refund the cost of skillbooks also.

I have one question about the respec and race variant suits. How will BPO suits and special event suits be handled?
For example if I decide I prefer Amarr Logistics more than Minmatar will I still have to skill into Minmatar Logistics 1 to use the SEVER BPO suit?
The same goes for things like the Quaffe scout suit (which is proto level). Will it remain exclusive to Gallente or will there be suits that just have a suit class requirement (like scout prototype training in any race)? |

Think thats why they are doing the two different 'launches' of the 6th and 14th. |

We have a character creator already. They are just providing a new version of it. I'm guessing you are interested in an avatar creator like the one we have in EVE. I'm hoping I'm wrong and that the avatar creator is coming with Uprising but I'm certainly not expecting it.

What's to go on about related to the character creator? Is the assumption that for characters we have already created we will get to select an avatar / human likeness? Or, is this for new character creation only? And then, when do we get to see our character's likeness? Will we be rolling around our quarters or the war barge without our helmets on so we can see our faces?
I guess I don't know enough to care about this yet. |

Not bad for your first official podcast at all. CCP Frame used to originally make CAST 514 and he did great job. I am sure MERC CAST will be great too in time. Also I like the length of the podcast. Community made stuff can be 3+ hours but devs sure don't have that much time to talk about known stuff but instead make great highlights on the upcoming stuff that we don't know yet about. This is exciting because I know when I listen to this I will actually hear something new and not something boring :P But yeah, both boots on the groumd, cast 514, rofl.tv and now this have their merits in their own way. |

The podcast talked about a new character creator... Are we going to be able to see that without creating a whole new character. Anyway when u all refund sp u can allow us to reset our race/class etc so we can see the character creator without having to start from scratch with new character. I would actually like to reset my race! |

I've probably clicked on the announcements thread 1000 times in the last few weeks hoping to see the DEV blog explaining the new skills.
Somebody go wake the dude up who's supposed to hit "post" with this data. |
