With the new T1 Indy reworking we're going to get, I noticed that the Mk3 Iteron is going to be a dedi PI hauler. What about my beloved Primae? Can she have a buff so she's actually useful now? Much better looking ship, such a shame that space is dominated by those god awful flying phalluses, especially now they're going to get dedicated roles.

Yeah, I fly one regularly just to see it in space - pity it's no use for anything practical but it's too pretty not to be flown Big smile

No one will will fly the Primae as soon as flying PI space wang is available!

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

It's a pity that this ship is rotting on stations. Sad
CCP (ok, guys from balancing team) could easily breathe a new life into Primae, making some kind of entry level mini-Noctis out of it.
Since this ship has no skill requirement, just adding role bonus to tractor beam range, 4 utility high slots and 1000 m3 cargo will make huge difference compared to current state.

"But what about RP ship description and story developed around PI in Tyrannis?"
You know what? **** the description. CCP changes everything when needed, without looking back on RP or sentimental value. This ship should be flyable. Leave the dust collecting role to 50 billion tournament collectibles.

the truth is that ships like the Primae, the Echelon and the Zephyr could have more life in the game if they stopped being Special Edition ships.

the gnosis and the apotheosis can keep that status as they're anniversary ships, while the alliance tournament ships are prizes by themselves.

but those 3 hulls left have the means to become something actually usefull ingame, just need their BPCs/BPOs to be obtainable in the game, along with a rebalance of their attributes and fitting. it isnt too hard.

Primae -> gas mining (better than the venture), since it is useless now for PI, and it wouldnt have sense to make it another Noctis.

Echelon -> faction hacking ship

Zephyr -> faction archeology ship

Was hoping for the Primae to get a nice boost to PI hold just so it wasnt so utterly useless as it is but a dedi gas harvester role sounds pretty good!
