EVE General Discussion

I flew in a Br1ck fleet once when I was newer back when NC was thing and an Alliance I was in moved to Null as one of their pets. I was in a Drake gang just when they were gain popularity and some guy was in a Raven. I wonder, morale or just dumb.

We were being chased by a Solar Mael Gang that snagged him off a gate. I think I died 4 ships later in the fight when the FC ordered a warpout and a HIC lit a bubble and 90% warp speed and snagged me and like 4 other guys.

I should move back to Null it was pretty fun.

Dedicated Suicide Ganking Ship.
1000% Damage bonus, 1000% Tracking Penalty. The perfect Harpoon for killing those abomination Orca.

Also Suicide Bombers. Shofixti Scout style.

Or even khanid faction torpedo abaddon. and ammatar faction arty geddon.

A bloody gas cloud harvesting ship/s, and Gas cloud upgrades

**** what you would call it? new class of destroyer? a 2nd class?

One of each ship-line for each of the main classes (frigate, cruiser, battleship.) Really that'd mean ...

1 Combat (tank/damage) frigate, cruiser, and battleship (with 2 T2 version, for each specialty)
1 Attack (damage/speed) frigate, cruiser, and battleship (with 2 T2 versions, for each specialty)
1 Electronic Warfare frigate, cruiser, and battleship (with 2 T2 versions, for each specialty ... not sure what to do about Caldari here)
1 Logistics frigate, cruiser, and battleship (with 2 T2 versions, for each specialty)
1 Scout/Science (probes, analyzer/codebreaker) frigate, cruiser, and battleship (with 2 T2 versions, for each specialty)

Destroyers and battlecruisers would be damage support, countering the class directly below them like we have now (destroyer counters frigate, battlecruiser counters cruiser.) They should be able to annihilate the class directly below them at the cost of being extremely vulnerable to the class directly above them. Then have a second version of each of them that has command bonuses (that would ideally work only on grid.)

Then we need small, medium, and large mining vessels. The tank/cargo/yield format works here as well, but I'd change one thing. There should only be 1 T1 version of each of these. It would do each of the above passably well. The T2 versions would be specialized towards one or the other.

Then we need transportation ships, again in small, medium, and large. It'd be similar to the mining vessels but the specialties are speed/defense/cargo.

Capital ships? Turn'em into giant, mobile stations. They could act as mobile forward operating bases, essentially.

how about a tech II ore frig that is a gas harvester...

Cloaky rookie ship

Yep, or simply call them Heavy Bombers.

Tanky, if a little slow, non-cloaking.
Give them enough high slots to mounts some small weapons to fight back against frigates while on their necessary bombing runs.

Anti-cloak ships would be awesome and seem to fit in well within the game design. Perhaps some sort of EMP burst that deactivates cloaking devices within x km.. and of course a skill/boosters/implants to boost the range. It would need to have a pretty significant range to be useful, though. And it would be unfortunate if it was able to assist gate campers in making sure there is absolutely no way for people to use the MWD/cloak maneuver to escape gate camps. The last thing we need is to put anything in that makes gate camping more effective.
