Hmm, T2 logi frigates maybe? It's the only frigate role without a T2 version. I'd hardly describe the T1 logi frigates as "popular" though so that would be the "void" if anything.

Hopefully a T3 Orca.

I want my command ship version, my fleet hangar version, my hauler version and my mining version.

Battleships with extra-large weapons would be great except for missiles, which would be a miniature Phoenix in the most horrendous ways. That or it would wind up being set of larger Tier 3 BC's by skipping missiles and focusing on more positive aspects.

I'd be down for a miniature Phoenix - it would be great for structure bashing in high-sec.

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

Yay, make it easier and remove yet another deterrent from High sec wars. Roll Oh, and let's not forget even easier ratting via sniping.

Oh excellent, I was attending ANZAC day parades at the time they streamed and hadn't caught a recording of it yet. Thanks for the link.

A void...

Guys, guys. This is an industry expansion. Let's think like industrialists.

...Don't look at me like that. I said industrialists, not miners.

CCP Fozzie wrote:
Here's your hint:

The ships each fall into one of three categories.

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.
One category fill a void that we've wanted to cover for quite a while.
One category provides more advanced version(s) of one of the most popular ships classes in EVE.


Low-impact category: I'm not exactly sure about this one. The only thing I can think of is "Sisters Rookie Ship", which isn't very industrial, though it fits the "Low Impact" and "Cool to See" descriptors.

Covering a Void category: This is probably going to be four racial haulers that are midway between Industrials and Freighters.

Advanced Popularity category: T2 Venture. Seriously. The Venture is probably the most well-received ship in all of EVE history and they see incredibly broad usage in everything from newbie mining to elite-level comedy PvP. They're an amazing ship and I have yet to encounter anyone who hates them. We've also already seen that there's a model for them.

Or players should stop semi 'hacking' the Dev servers.
Yes I know it's not real hacking, but it's still incredibly cheesy and gives those players with the old technical knowledge far too much advantage to manipulate the market pre Dev blogs & Sisi.

My bet goes on T2 logistic frigates, T3 Orca portable POS and a subcap-industrial with a jumpdrive :D

Covering a void...Minmatar/Caldari pirate ships ?

EVE is what happens when the rule of law does not apply and Darwinism is allowed to run freely.

the last point sounds like a T2 battlecruiser/


Just guessing

1- Shuttle
2- Sonar Pulse Destroyer. (A catogory, which fills a void? Smelling corvette class vessels Shocked )
3- Triage battleships.

Pirate Dread line.


There are l4 missions where Angels builds a naglfar. A stationary naglfar. A hint, hidden in missions maybe! :)
