I often Kvetch at the lack of a T2/Faction Myrmidon. I mean, It's just so pretty!
My XO makes similar noises about the Hurricane.
The Caldari equivelant is the ever-popular Drake, I suppose.
For amarr? Dunno. You tel lme.

What do people think of the idea, then, of a Battelcruiser hull designed for null or losec solo/small gang exploration, or WH exporation - Something with a bonus to probe, like say a Helios, but other than that just the raw tank and firepower to deal with some of the more interesting sites you might find, without the need to go back and snag another ship.

Thoughts?

Sleipnir / Hurricane
Nighthawk / Drake
Eos / Myrmidon
Absolution / Harbinger

Astarte and Eos role switch with the Eos outfitted for combat.

Done. Now they can get to T2 Tier 3's quicker.

I'm hugely a fan of this idea. I also think it'd be good to give said ship something like the marauder double damage bonus so you could fit salvagers/ tractors and be really independent. Then I could just stuff it full of ammo and go deep into wormholes or nullsec doing exploration for days/weeks at a time. Like a deep space exploration ship.

Give it a generic command bonus like the t1 BCs have, but make it a Heavy Assault Battlecruiser with damage bonuses and such.

Edit: after a little more thought...CCP needs to give me my Fed Navy Thorax first before we get HABC Myrmidons.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Boo hiss. The Brutix hull barely sees use as is, don't give away yet another role to the (imho) inferior-looking myrmidon.

"We will create the introduction thread if that is requested by the community. Also, we will have an ISD Seminar about the CCL team in the coming weeks in which you can ask your questions about the CCL team and provide some constructive feedback to us." - Countless pages of locked threads and numerous permabanned accounts later, change is coming.

It kinda is if they made their bonuses as good as the Vargur.

Paladin / - Web Bonus / + 7.5% Range Bonus
Kronos / - Web Bonus - Tracking Bonus / + 10% MWD Cap Use Bonus +10% Falloff Bonus
Golem / - TP Bonus / + Dmg Bonus

+ Good Sensor Strength for Gurista Missions.

Only the Vargur got bonuses that didn't blow.

Erm no... your talking about

Sleipnir / Cyclone
Nighthawk / Ferox
Eos / Brutix
Absolution / Prophecy.

All the Tech 2 BCs are versions of tier 1 BC's.

until I get an Angel Cartel version of the Hurricane I don't care for fancy covops cloaking BCs

She means that the field command ships could use the Tier2 models, not that they actually do!

Yeah, change the model to the T2 version, they have all the bonuses and plus some. Cept the Eos make the the Combat one and replace the Astarte as the Command.

I too would like to have a BC that is capable of more than just combat. But, I dont think it should be called a BATTLE crusier. They should call it a heavy cruiser, and give it some scanning, navigation and cargo bonuses.

Yes, but an actual assault version based upon the Myrm but without any bonus to command beyond a t1 BC.

That just means the idea needs to be refined, not abandoned. It is a good idea for us firefly RP types. I would love to be able to fly for weeks without having to dock or refit. That is just not possible with the current game system/ship types.
