EVE General Discussion

Your topic is about Tech 3 ships.

Also, not everyone is Goons, and Goons don't make their living burning Jita. Some people do, however, make their living with solo ganks, and that lifestyle needs to be given some buffs to remain not only affordable, but be profitable.

I don't think there should be too many PvP modules for it; I was hesitant to even put in what I put in, but figured minor PvP capabilities (turret bonuses for things like fitting and rate of fire, as well as combat drone bonuses) would be more useful defensively than offensively, though I absolutely know people would jump on it as an expensive Battle Badger.

The mobile lab module might be interesting, but would probably be difficult to do, or at least difficult to balance well. And what happens when a person logs off? Does it only work while logged in? What about downtime, then? It would only be useful for runs with a short duration.

I like the idea of a Clone Vat Bay; that would be an additional high-power-slot module, while the ore compressor might be fun for future ganks (how much is 1 unit of compressed Veldspar worth, and how much would even, say, a T1 industrial filled with it worth? Imagine the value of the ganks that this module could create).

A moon-mining module would have to be in low- or nul-sec space only, though maybe it could be used in Wormholes if it has a low-enough pull on resources? Though, wormholes are, if you find the right ones, rather quiet.

Improved probing? Absolutely! that would work under the Drones Modules (changing "drones" modules to something like "remote command" modules).

I do disagree on the sizes, though; make it one size-only, and make it a half-way point between Industrials and Freighters.



That is changing in the upcoming expansion, is it not?

Really, what I find the most humorous about it all is that an industrialist is able to build all of these ships, having to know all of the various specs regarding the ships, and must be able to deal with the programming required to pilot it, but are incapable of piloting it themselves. Then again, it isn't like the individual capsuleer is doing all of the building themselves; that work is being done by sophisticated machinery under the instructions of some advanced form of a blueprint (it had better be an advanced form of a blueprint... if they are still paper blueprints, then I demand the creation of pencils, paper, or photocopiers).

I Like it :p but you would have to split some of those bonuses between subsystems so that its not OP, like the subsystems for T3 cruisers

I would probably Split it something like this with an ORE subsystem skill

ORE Prop Sub
Sub 1; Bubble nullification, Mass decrease, extra debuff to HP
Sub 2; MWD bloom reduction, warp speed bonus, sub-warp speed bonus, agility bonus, mass decrease Extra debuff to HP
Sub 3; Larger cargohold
Sub 4; Ship maintenance bay
All previous Subs have debuffs to hitpoints
Sub 5 Mid sized cargo hold (No debuffs to hitpoints) +jumpdrive

ORE Electronics Sub
Sub 1; Warp while cloaked plus ability to use a CovOps cloak
Sub 2; Additional CPU
Sub 3; Mining Foreman Link
Sub 4; Bonus to salvagers and tractor beams.
Sub 5; Bonus for salvager and mining drones

Ore Engineering Sub
Sub 1; Medium large Addition to points for calibration & Power Grid
Sub 2; Mid Addition to Cap and Powergrid
Sub 3 ; Large Addition to Powergrid

I'm too board to finish but you get the idea basically the same system as T3 Cruisers but just for industry
