Category 1: two alliance tournament prize ships, Serpentis, we had Minmatar, Gallente, Caldari, Amarr, Angel.



The AT prize ships for this year are all but confirmed to be guristas, using condor and blackird models

Note the placeholder model for a T2 Venture (Prospect) as well as skinned versions of all the ORE ships.



Ah, that should be neat! New Guristas stuff is quite fresh, the T2 Ventre I was aware of.

"more advanced". Pirate/navy faction ships are not more advanced really, just tech 1 variants. Tech 2 and tech 3 would be more advanced versions of ships, though considering the amount of work and testing involved with adding a new type of tech 3s, I imagine we're going to have a new tech 2 series of some hull, playing a new role.

ETA: Someone posted this on reddit: "Damn, a hauler designed to haul ships would be damn useful. I'm not sure if that's what you meant, but by Odins beard it would be useful." There's always the Orca, and industrials are traditionally so poorly tanked it'd not be worth it, but it'd be interesting. If there were a ship that could move 5-10 fitted frigates around without being a gank magnet, that would be really cool.


I have suggested a ship like that a couple of years back. It's a hauler for fitted ships [because: rigs], that cannot serve as a carrier [in that it can't launch ships, it can only haul them].

This ship would be useful to haul lots of ships when a pilot is moving [part of] their inventory to a new location. It would also be useful for alliances to cart around all manner of ships after production, for a large alliance war, what have you.

This would be a really good ship to have and many pilots would add it to their inventory for its usefulness. Also, it would be risky to fly one when it's full of ships... risk/reward

I'm hoping it's this one. It should be able to carry everything up to and including fully-fitted battleships. -ONLY- to haul them, not as a carrier.

Destroyer level, Heavy Bombers.

Don't see how they could be implemented without being either redundant or horridly strong though. Cry

There could well be more than six.

One category will be fairly low impact for most players but still represent cool addition(s) to the game that I think many players will enjoy seeing.

Two ships - the Alliance Tournament prizes. These have been spied on various test servers.

Four ships - the long-missing battleships. Check out the right side of this picture
  • Amarr Combat BS (Apoc moved to Disruption and Geddon to Attack since the pic) - Focused on missiles
  • Caldari Attack BS - Maybe a larger anti-cruiser brother to the Caracal
  • Gallente Disruption BS - Focused on points and damps
  • Minmatar Disruption BS - Focused on target painters and webs

This smells like Tech 3 Frigates or T3 industrials. In lore they most likely connect back to this little news item about the miniaturized gravity well generator that will power them. There are three names that have been discovered already that may be these - I did a bit of speculation on this a few weeks ago in this post.

Where was the announcement for the (tentative) new ships? I'm really (really) hoping for a missile-based attack battlecruiser and a missile-based Pirate class.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

my bet is on mini-freighters (x4),

maybe a T2 venture or orca

and something else that I have no clue on

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

That's too easy.

A) a flying Exotic Table Dance Bar
B) an Iteron Mk VI with a special bay for Fuel Blocks (industry theme!)
C) 4 racial T2 Command Destroyers (along with the long awaited links-must-be-on-grid-change)

Yeah, I guess not being prepared to shell out $4.99 means I missed the announcement...

Oh god... Tier IV cruisers, welp, guess we can expect them to fit doomsdays and have titan levels of hp based on what they did with tier 3 balancing.
