Player Features and Ideas Discussion

It's just a random idea which came to my mind during my morning coffee. Seemed to be a good idea to share it.

Pros:
-new t2 destroyer ship type
-new usefull logistic ship besides the existing ones (without kicking those out of their role)
-some boost to black ops
-use of small remote armor repairers, small shield transfer arrays and small energy transfer arrays
-a new (relatively early) milestone in the training curve towards bigger logistic ships
-CCP is already planning to give us new t1 destroyers (as missile platforms). The black ops logi destroyers could be a good T2 counterpart of those models
-they could make frigate/destroyer brawlings more tactical
-lowsec needs more lowrisk pvp (I think it's one of the main reasons why high sec players are staying away from lowsec pvp. The high skillpoint requirement to fly cruisers and bc's succesfully and the high ISK cost of those ships.) A small llogistic ship could make lowsec frigate roamings somewhat more viable with buffer tank frigates.
-I welcome every change which help to fight against nullsec blueballers at this point.

Cons:
-logistic destroyer sounds silly but nevermind :D (but covops/blackops support destroyer sounds OK to me)

Opinions?

Just what we need, a ship that can join cloaky falcon/sabre gatecamps.

I think a T2 version of the old mining frigs with the ability to fit medium Remote Armor/Shield/Cap transporter and a Cov OP cloak would something right, wouldn´t it. Cause I think Destroyers are more enduring and more directly damage dealing then a fast stealthy field engineer should be. But this is just my vision of a CovOp logistic.
Call them Engineer Ships (like army corp of engineer) and for Combat give them also a sabotage abilltiy which deals damage directly to moduls which can be overheated (I think all active ones can?), but only 10-20 Damge for each modul every 10 s.

I think we need something similar to this to promote micro fleets.

There is a lot of talk about PvP pilots wanting to see more PvE pilots giving this side of the game a chance.
I believe if we promote low risk / low reward PvP, it will be far more attractive to those willing to consider trying PvP than the perceived risk and investment needed by the larger hull ships.

Also, the OP did not clearly define how this would be cloaked, only referring to it as black ops.
Would it use a CovOps cloak, allowing it to warp cloaked, or would it be like the actual Black Ops, and simply cloak with bonuses to make non warping the only real penalty?

if you find a better name then yes sounds ok.

I think this is a great idea.

I thing they SHOULD have cov ops cloaks and the ability to fit small repair modules, or squeeze in a few medium ones but at a big disadvantage.

The ability to cloak mitigates the ability to instapop most destroyers in a fight and this would mean that the cov ops fleets would have some logistics.

+1

Ok, you right frigate sized logis with med remote support may be to imbalanced, and with small remote support they may not be used. It is to bad that there aren´t yet any informations of the new destroyers anounced, but I would suggest they also will be more the damage dealing vessels.

Do you think they should get any other ability beside the combination of logistic and "travelling with BlackOps-Fleets".

I think they should be able to use CovOps Cloaks so that they will be more effektiv then any T3-Logi-CovOp-Cruisers, because cheaper, less skills and smaller hull, but also as disadvantage less EHP.

Ganktards are not quite happy with their ability to insta-drop a crapload of DPS. They want to drop a crapload of repping power as well. How cute. How urgent!

Your logic astounds...

I could see the use of a covert logi ship, I've got friends that do black ops runs and their main complaint is that either they take a cloaky T3 RR with them, or they go without logis altogether.
