There are TONS of ships that already have models and paint. There is no reason to base speculation off of that.

Low impact- t2 venture, the modified ship model is already in the client.

Advanced versions- t2 versions of the new destroyers. They're the only racial sub BS hulls that don't have a t2 iteration yet. The talwar and the corax definitly fit the 'popular' thing as well.

Void- this one's a wildcard I think. Could be a covops logi (no more using a logi pilgrim P), could be a t2 orca of some kind. Could be anything.

Attack BC don't have T2 verisons either.

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.


Rhavas, since you're the guy who wrote up the three-witches post, I feel like you're smarter than this. For one thing, you've got at least 7 ships here there if you're expecting 4 new battleships.

If we take as given that the low-impact ships are the AT prizes, that gives us 4 ships left to work with. We know at least one of them is an advanced upgrade to a popular ship. Meanwhile, we also know that at least one is not an advanced version of a ship that is already popular. I'm betting that the missing niche is going to be filled by the three witches you posted about, which leaves us one advanced ship. Even if we had four to work with, I really don't think we're going to get more T3s of any sort until they figure out what they actually want to do with the existing T3s, which are very powerful but I'd say are still at least somewhat controversial. The only singleton ships out there that could get a T2 treatment are from ORE. I don't know how popular the Venture is, but we've found a T2 Venture model, and apparently even a name for it.

That just leaves the three witches. My money is still on Caldari/Minmatar missile pirates, but I also don't know the lore very well, so I have essentially no handle on what might be going on with the Boundless Creation news items. Given the number of times people have asked about a true missile pirate faction, I'm finding that a lot more likely...

Hmm,

New industrial something (dedicated gas harvester)(real combat barge)(dedicated ship mover)

New pirate faction using the missing combo

New Tech II... something or Tech III Frigate/BS

my guesses.

I would dearly love to see a missile pirate line. I would also be very excited to see a BC that can fit large missiles, maybe we'll get something along those lines.

Pods with Guns.



I like your way of thinking. I hope for a Genolution 'Detonator' Pod. It bursts with the force of a large smartbomb. EMP for Amarr, obviously.

Interesting how a bunch of non-subscribers were watching it just fine.

(subscribers got a little star next to their name)

After the fact, well, that'll be mostly twitch, I suspect. And there's the youtube version.

Woo! CSM XI!
