well becuse ur bufing up t1 and t2 ships and created the t3 ships now thers a cruzer with enormus dps out there
dont u think its time to make some more faction crusers and bs ships and frigs, mybe a bc or boost this ones up....

there are style players ingame who love faction ships, but now they are a bit underpoverd, u need 2 races to train, they are exspancive and compared to outher ships they are weak....

we all love new ships but the balance will be destroyed soon.... if this will keep up....


well tier 2 facton crusers???
faction bc???
t2 faction crusers???

mybe something like that ??

thank you

First off, you need to work on your grammar/spelling. Second, faction ships are fine ATM. There are a couple select ones who might need tweaking (I'm looking at you, Succubus and Phantasm), but they're fine in general.

this would have worked better if you weren't in a Minmatar based corp. the Mach you can fly with just learning some gallante ships......well lets hear why unlike 99.9999999% of the server you think its sub par. Why cynabal is lacking be fun to hear as well.


Want a cheaper mach, go earn the bpc. Cost is player determined. Mineral wise....the factions are along the same price lines the highest tier ship per class. Bit higher since more hgh ends...but not that much. The makred up price is mostly bpc cost.

I don't think that faction ships have any issue. The Navy faction ships are little more than buffed versions of their T1 counterparts (as they should be). Pirate faction ships receive a 3rd bonus over T1 without being limited by role-specialization like T2 ships. Both have simple skill requirements that make them accessible to pilots before T2. The only issue is that there are a couple of race combinations missing from the pirate faction lineup.

As we've been told, the art department is the biggest bottleneck to getting these new ships and it will continue to be that way if we want something more than simple re-skins of existing models. I for one, am happy to wait.

Agree with the first bit, but second is not entirely true. Look at the navy Scorpion and Exequror, for example.

I think all the T3 battlecruisers...in fact most battlecruisers in general put the battleships in most classes to shame when it comes to DPS/Tank

Right, and thats why my vigilant beats strats,bs,BC,s, HAC's, Frigs, recons, and other faction ships solo with no issues.......

Faction Ships are fine in general. Only the Tier 1 Faction Cruisers like Scythe Fleet Issue could use a small reduction of their mass to be faster than their Tier 2 Faction Cruiser counterparts like Stabber Fleet Issue. This would make them more balanced in the sense... Tier 1 has less DPS, less tank but more speed than Tier 2. At the moment Tier 1 is just worser in every aspect than Tier 2.
