On 19th of November CCP will release a new expansion to Eve called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eveonline.com\/rubicon\/\">Rubicon<\/a>. To be honest, I haven&#8217;t been playing much lately. Only been doing some PI, not even as dedicated as before, and refueled my tower. There were quite a few Perimeter Hangar sites in our wormhole, and I took care of a few of those last weekend, but that was about it.<\/p>\n<p>Rubicon, while not bad, isn&#8217;t really something to get very excited about. Some things that make life easier and the Sister of Eve new ships that are very nice, but there isn&#8217;t in it that really makes you go WOW !<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XHH_MHd0c94\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s take a look at the things that I will be interested in, in this expansion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Ghost Sites<\/strong> : probably will only see this once in a blue moon in our wormhole. They once again use the stupid hacking mini game but will not use the loot penate mechanic. Might be something good in it, we&#8217;ll see<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Mobile Structures : <\/strong>The mobile tractor unit will be great ! It tractors all look into a bit pile within 125Km. Very handy. Also a magnet for any cloaky offender in a wormhole, but hey it&#8217;s all in the game. I don&#8217;t think I have any use for any of the other mobile units. I might see the mobile home in our wormhole maybe if we would get some sort of intrusion.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Sisters of EVE Faction Ships : <\/strong>These look awesome and might be handy in our wormhole or maybe elsewhere. I will probably wait a little before buying one to let the initial price settle down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Ship Changes : <\/strong>I don&#8217;t fly anything that is affected by these. Maybe I should. I used to have a marauder, that unfortunately blew up a long time ago, when a Caldari Epic Mission line mission went sour. I never replaced it. It might be handy for the wormhole sites with the new heavy missile launcher thing. The Bastion Mode sounds awesome, once you&#8217;re attacked. Might not be as awesome in reality<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Rapid Heavy Missile Launcher : <\/strong>This <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.eveonline.com\/default.aspx?g=posts&amp;t=284479\">devblog<\/a> explains how they work. The split bonuis thing is a little odd, I guess it would make them a little overpowered. Anyway, this sounds really good. Might want to try this with a passively shield tanked Rattlesnake soon. The missile bonus would be lost though, if I get that right from the devblog. And it only has 4 launchers. Well might be worth a try anyway.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s about it <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">for me<\/span>. Warp speed I don&#8217;t know about. Might be handy to be faster when you&#8217;re buzzing around in a covops in a wormhole. And interceptors I never use. Maybe I should dust one off and try one out. I will do a follow up post once Rubicon is released and see how things worked out, post-Rubicon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no turning back !
