- Mining ships that can defend themselves a bit better[/quote

hulk cant defend itself with the bonuses it gets?

you know, you dont have to go x 2 expanded cargohold and cargo optimization x 2 on a hulk.

and defend themselves from what? rats? griefers?

Tech 2 Destroyers that can use covert ops cloak and fit four torpedo launchers. (kinda like a stealth bomber without the bombs) I would find it useful in complementing Bombers and Recon ships.

Basically, god ships for crusty old players like me. :D


While kind of a good idea...i..THINK that might break something.


I know, and I think it will be glorious.

I'd like to see a whole new race and ships based upon rogue drones. Like the borg or something along those lines.

How about heavy bombers, using Tier 2 BC hulls, double range on bomb launchers (this would be accomplished by speeding up the bomb, not increasing flight time), tankable, able to fit two launchers unable to use Covert Ops Cloak.

Tech 2 variants of tier 3 battelships and tier 2 battle cruisers.

would love the T2 Rokh to be an ALL OUT WAR ship, totally lacking on the ewar and support systems, but completely geared for RAW DPS and tanking. a monster among monsters of firepower. same for abaddon, maelstrom and Hyperion.


I think Tech II PVP battleships would be loads of fun. They should require a very large investement in skills and be as powerful as you describe.

The Amarr version should be a missile boat.

Actually upon thought that is not such a bad idea. The drawback to these ships could be an inability to instantly apply DPS; just like all long range missile boats.

The Minmatar version would fire guns at the end of their cycle instead of the beginning.

The Gallente would be a drone boat with new heavy duty heavy drones, they would be able to cover long distances without too much difficulty, changing targets should not be instant even if the new target is 5KM away from the previous target. They would take time to disengage and reingage. They would also be active tanked.

The Amarr one could have some kind of new weapon, because I can't think of a way to slow down lasers. Perhaps based on some of the technology found in the terran super weapon. Can you imagine giant slow moving balls of blue of plasma floating across a battlefield? They could be laser guided too, with a visible laser!

The Caldari would be a missile boat.

Would be really cool to see a mothership like in homeworld, with the ability to refine minerals and to manufacture everything up to battleships. Terrible self defense, doesn't disappear when logged off but can use strontium when it has no logged on pilot. Along with a password for entering the ship as well as separate passwords for things like moving, jumping, manufacturing, etc. in the ship.

Drone Carrier - BC/BS size, no guns just drones with bonuses to drone quantity.
Liner - Capital size, weaker tank ability than dread but with 6 guns instead of 3.
Stealth Fighter - Frig size, a frigate with covert ops cloak designed for taking down bombers, scanners etc.
Hauler - BS/Orca size, mostly unarmed ship with large ship maintance bay for ship transport.
"Submarine" - BS size, XL Stealth bomber with covert ops cloak and 1-2 capital missile launchers. Bomb would be OP
Tanker - BS/Orca size, able to re-fill capitals with fuel/strontium in space.
Fireship - BC/BS size, ship focused on smartbombs.
Gas Miner - Cruiser/BC size, mining ships designed for gas harvesting.
Corvette - Cruiser size, larger interceptor with bonuses to warp scramblin.
Patrol Ship - Destroyer size, a destroyer which could last in battle for longer than 3 seconds. Bonuses against drones.
Mining Platform - Orca/Capital size, can be deployed like rorqual and fit capital size mining lasers.
Firing Platform - BS/Orca size, can be deployed like rorqual and fit a capital size gun.

Anything Else? Blink

A defensive fleet ship that has no offense. Think this. http://shipyards.relicnews.com/hw2/index_hiigaran.html

Or a flak style weapon.

Tech 2 Tier 3 BC :D

The new hulls are my favourite :D

Also redo all Minnie ships to look more like the new BC and stealth bombers !

Or Tier 3 Pirate/Navy BC

tier 3 command ships based on tier 2 bc hulls (harbi, drake, myrm and cane)


This would be a very wise/useful choice


Would also like something:

1- "Strategic Bomber" destroyer class, something really tank nasty, throwing 2 bombs at a time but reduced dmg (30+%) compared with bomber V, no gun options, can cloak if targeted (this would be a pain in the ass to get)

2-Battleship class siege module:
-use strontium+racial isotops (specific cargo included in module), ship imobilised, lasts (unstoppable cycle) 7.5min (Tech1, timer can be reduced by 0.5 min per level with specific skill but can't go under 5min With Tech2 module)

Use module = Bonus
Remote shields/armor and energy effects increased by 350%, cost reduced by 50%
Repair amount (self), capacitor charge bonus increased by 250%, cost reduced by 50%
175% bonus of tracking (explosion radius), ROF and range (flight time)


Use module = Drawback
Immune to all form of: repair/remote/links/MWDJ/gang links/bonus
Can not use JB's, Portal generator, gates, dock, used inside POS shields
Sign radius increased by 100% and dmg recieved from Doomsday devices and Titan guns by 25%

There's so much room for improvements I count probably camp this thread for ages. ;)

Deep Space Vessels

They become the only ship which can warp to places without bookmark...far outside all but the longest of deep probes' ranges.

Once there, an enemy vessel would have to scan them down extensively to find them and; a DSV could light a cyno, or any gang member in system would be able to warp to them.

Think it should be tough to get the ship to warp out that far, with some kind of time-based penalty to off-set the ultimate insult of jumping into a system and warping out beyond immediate reach without recourse.

Mean lookin' and about BS size. Dirty, with all kinds of debris on it because it looks like it's gone soooo far outside the magnetic safety of a solar system that it's run into some serious ****.

It should have the ability to leave beacons in system, for the return home, and DSV's should be the only ship that can launch/use these beacons. You could maybe get some variations in the beacon racial types too.

I remember some of the ideas CCP had years back talking about strange environments, weird environments which a ship could find themselves in, unknown penalties and effects these environments could have on ship systems.

But I like the idea, just no clue if it would work or become a massive get out of jail free card for some players. I do hope it would encourage griefing, in a positive but ultimately EVE way - because right now its a little stale.

The relative rarity of characters with that many SP will serve as an excellent balancing factor, as well as give us vets who ran out of skills to train long ago something special.

Having tons of SP is already a big advantage. You don't need two.

I'd like to see a subcap that is designed to kill caps. Something like a heavy bomber, essentially a bomber with a battleship hull.
