There not currently in the game, the best guess at the moment is there part of the factional war. Same goes for those border stations.

Of course there's no easy way of saying how much it would go for, but estimating based on the current characters trades, i think you'd be looking for around 5.5bill for that. Potentially a quite a bit more if you held on to it for a while and got Advanced Spaceship Command trained up, as it's easier and more lucrative to sell a carrier ready pilot.

Logistics Lvl 5 is also a selling point as that allows access to the triage mods on carriers nowadays, but due to the long training time most people don't bother training for them.

This is hilarious, because when Earth & Beyond did it years and years ago the general agreement was that it was a retarded idea.

But hey, at least there'd finally be a point to designing your character in the first place.

Well, in PotBS it ain't so bad. If done properly, being able to meet players off the ship in stations would probably be a good way to socialize (easier to talk with another human, than with a big-ass ship that makes yours look like a flea).

But yes, there's always a risk of it becoming a bad thing, like pretty much any change you introduce into an established game.

CCP have said several times that players who don't want to get involved with ambulation can just ignore it without missing out on the parts that they do enjoy. So if it does turn out bad, people will just ignore it.

Just like how players who want to avoid factional warfare can do so.

Good point. I think I'll wait and spec it up a bit.

The Emperyan News page is nicely done. Regulary updated with newsflashes today. The second teaser trailer looks really cool (a pity nobody actually flies in those formations in game though :wink: )

Funny thing is, I found out my oooooold character from two years back is still there. But now I am again in complete N00b-mode...
I am starting to tackle the learning curve again :)
that happened to me too. So I put my BC in storage and bought a frigate and started working my way back up. Much easier with t2 items and high skills but I felt I needed to relearn how to play.
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;

The latest patch went live today, this is a Caldari Titan, one of the largest most powerful ships in the game, under siege in high security space, in the home system of one of the main factions no less =D A lot of fun... but with 300 people attacking it, a lot of lag too...

I'm really rusty after such long inactivity. I almost trashed my Raven already. Almost
