Player Features and Ideas Discussion

How about, instead of a new BS, we let Fozzie take one of the old ones, redesign it to fit such a role better, and use that instead?
You mentioned the 'phoon, which has split weapons. It might get full missiles, and then you'd get your wish.

For the record, missiles are mostly a Caldari thing, while shield is mostly a Caldari&Minmatar thing, so outside T2 ships you shouldn't regularly find missile Amarr or Gallente ships.
The new Amarr destroyer has unbonused missile slots, but that's about it.

If you want a ship with armor tanking abilities through the roof and spewing missiles, check out this boat:

Not battleship, true, but you can't have everything in the world.

Again, the 'phoon actually does, just not very well (Due to weapon split etc).
Also, as I tried to explain (Maybe not very well either?), due to missiles being primary weapon of Caldari who uses shield, and only secondary weapon other places, you shouldn't expect many armourtanked missile battleships.
I would wager that the 'phoon will get full missile bonusses when Fozzie gets to rebalancing the battleships.

You'll probably get your wish at that time.

Like ITTigerClawIK said Khanid uses missles (indeed Khanid navy BCU has same stats of Guristas and Caldari navy) so there should be nohing to wonder by discovering an "amarr" missile BS

One possible solution should be a new faction (khanid Navy) BS with such properties: missiles (with proper bonses x skill lvl) + armor tank

I always think it's better to increase number of ways ppl could play the game making their own style and since actually there is no BS with such capabilites this is one of them, of course developers can see this thing in way better prospective than any of us i guess :)

it would be a super sacri

torp damage bonus with armour resist bonus :-P

and for the T2 Version it would be an additional cap recharge bonus with Torp ROF bonus.... ahh one can dream ^_^

I'm hoping the armageddon gets turning into the Harbingers big brother, with a TD/Drone bonus and a choice of using turrets or launchers, unbonused.

I really want a T2 Abaddon as a Khanid torp boat. SO many kinds of awesome!

Fozzie also described in the devblog back in november that the Typhoon is going to be a torp boat. My guess will be 6 launchers and I hope a TP bonus.

I was told that the abaddon apparently looks Awesome with the Khanid skin..

Torp Khanid baddon would be OP as **** though ^^

It would stare directly at your soul... and then "RAGE" all over your corpse with an endless rain of 8 Torpedo launchers and 5 medium drones!.


Khanid Abaddon:
5% Cruise and Siegue missile launcher ROF per Amarr Battleship Level.
5% All resistances armor Per Amarr Battleship Level.

Arsenal Ship Bonuses:
5% Missile Damage Per Arsenal Ship level.

Role Bonus:
50% Flight Speed bonus to missiles.

Slots:
8/3/8

15000 powergrid 800 CPU
6000 shields, 11000 armor, 9000 Structure

I have two questions:

1 - Please name one ship, (other than Raven State Issue - which being a unique ship means it is exempt from thsi conversation,) that has more than 7 launchers.

2 - Is the reason you can't name one because it would be OP?

And in any case, you would want at least one mid for a TP, meaning 4 mids is a minimum. (Prop, Point, Web, TP)
