Eve Online - Interview @ MMORPG.com

MMORPG.com talks with Huni “TomB” Hinrichsen about the new EVE Online combat features.

MMORPG.com: The new changes to the gang system seem to be focused on making them more manageable both for players and your server cluster. What changes do you expect to see in the way large fleet battles are fought with this new system?

Huni “TomB” Hinrichsen: There are a lot of improvements that the new gang system creates. Broadcasts give faster and better communication between gang members whereas before they had to spend time searching for the target objective once they’d received it via voice communication or chat text. The group system allows the commanders to create squadrons or wings that are dedicated to a specific role such as a group of electronic warfare specialists or logistical support and so on.
