So After watching the CCP presents for the ... few times now I fall back on a need for a connection of the two games that was talked about....

Specifically the war barge transferring mass numbers of clones tanks mechs guns and planetary infrastructure. I had to think this ship needs to be powerful Not in the sense of aggression but it needs to be physically a tanked ship that can charge through a space battle and reinforce the battle below or fire off the Clone boarding party missiles that where discusses as well...

In an effort to not sound like the other posts this could be a t2 of an Orca set with a special launcher in the high slots so it can send boarding parties to take stations out of fuel pos's and generally be the epic command ship for the battle raging below.

Basically this can be done by changing the Orcas resists ( removing gang links ) doubling the HP fully tanked this ship should resemble the Command ships currently but hold a different distinct purpose. Restocking the ground fight. Possibly making this a low/high sec ship with jump drive capabilities would be interesting as well. making it accessible within a month or so of those currently in Orcas and fleet command ships (with the drop in skill time for the Orca we can see this as a closer step to getting war barges into the field)

I have to say if CCP hold to the vision they presented in the fan fest presentations we can see a truly epic connection of the to games.

Also Don't be stupid get 514 on the PC as well.... considering it already works with a keyboard and mouse it really cant be that hard...

Its just a basic idea from a fan that is excited to see the future of Eve

The War Barge already exists, it's just invisible in EVE.

The Caldari put business before pleasure. The Gallente put business in pleasure.

All I've seen is concept art of the inside

What would happen if that war barge got blown up?
What would happen if its a long way from the target and none of those twitchy FPS'ers want to wait 30 minutes for it to get there?
