This week at The Defias Blog, Garbad_the_Weak discusses the ‘Mercy’ Naval Frigate, which is one of the Naval Officer’s class-specific MoV ships.

In another impressively candid forum post reminiscent of early CCP Dev forum activity, Flying Lab Software CEO Russell “Rusty” Williams described how the FLS development team behind Pirates of the Burning Sea set their priorities.

In recent weeks, ever since the AvCom overhaul was announced, there has been a flood of joyous praise for this change which is seen by many as a giant leap in the right direction but there has also been a tremendous backlash from PotBS players who believe Flying Lab Software’s development budget dollars would be better spent on other features such as the in-game economy, the much-anticipated (by some :P) Skirmish system or oft-teased about Port Governance just to name a few.

This week at The Defias Blog, Garbad_the_Weak focuses on the ‘Cerberus’ Masterclass Frigate, a Level 34 Large Scout.

Because I hate photobucket, imageshack fails and flickr… well, it’s freaking flickr for crying out loud, I will now be using Chribba’s MMO-Files.com almost exclusively. It’s like his eve-files, but with a more general focus spanning all games. I still don’t know how he manages to offer that sort of hosting service for free, but I’m not about to look a gift Veldnaught in the mouth! I’ll still be uploading to flickr just ’cause it’s sort of “what you do”, it seems, but when I link to a photo nine times out of ten it’ll be hosted at mmo-files.com.

Thanks Chribba, you’re a credit to gamers everywhere!

This week at The Defias Blog, Garbad_the_Weak focuses on the ‘Myrmidon’ Masterclass Frigate, a Level 46 Huge Warship. It is worth noting that the ‘Myrmidon’ is the basis for the ‘Cursed Blade’ Pirate Refit Frigate.
