Column: Crouching Industrialist Hidden Badger

by Zerg Rushkeke … After months of skill training for my Covert Ops stuff and being out of the country I am back. I apologize for the long absence and when I heard that cloaking badgers were on the way I had to hurry back (well not really but cool none the less). The next update will open up some doors for industrialists and will make it easier to move stuff while also being just plan cool. While gate camps and blobs will still be a problem this update defiantly doesn’t hurt.

I am actually surprised that they didn’t do this earlier. I mean come on blockade running reminds me of smuggling in Star Wars. You know…Harrison Ford (back when he was a good actor) and the ultimate co-pilot Chewbacca evading the baddies in asteroid belts … well just add in cloaking and the like. Moving stuff around 0.0, low-sec and empire will be easier now with the addition of cloaking. While I don’t know the specifics it definitely sounds awesome. They are adding another industrial capital ship (or whatever it is) which I know nothing about … nor do I care but hey doesn’t hurt.

So what should they put in the next update? Or does everyone else know except for me? Ambulation should be on its way and may well be the future but it better be good. They should add more ship classes and frigates for the heck of it. I remember hearing this on the eve forums and if anyone wants to elaborate go ahead. Maybe like a corvette class or something. It would be stuck between the frigate and cruiser classes but could be a cheap and effective solution. You could get five or six of them and rip up a cruiser or two and then warp away. It would be slower than most frigates but faster than a cruiser with some pretty good firepower to where it could hold its own against cruisers. How about a cheap blockade runner? Supped (spelling?) up Probe meant for gate running and getting to point b with some important cargo. It wouldn’t be as durable as a runner or have the cargo space but it would be a cheap cost effective solution. I can’t think of any more at the moment but I am sure someone has. Well time to go sneak around in 0.0 with my new Buzzard and sit back with some food. Ciao.
