I suspect 4 of them could be a new T2 destroyer, not really sure what role they would fit, my best guess would be anti cloaking, but possibly unlikely P.

The other area I could see 4 races ships being added would be for something like Escort Carriers, that have the ability to launch maybe 5 fighters and can jump through stargates brining fighters and maybe fighter bombers to Empire space Lol. Would be a nice addition with the introduction of Valkyrie (depending on how that is being deployed).

Would like to see a ship transport vessel that can use stargates and has a bigger capacity than the Orca hopefully with a good tank and maybe some weapons slots.

Would be nice to have a Fuel Block hauler, please just add that anyway use the Bustard hull and save some time Lol.

SOE capital ship of some kind maybe a hybrid Carrier/Dreadnought that can do exploration, though not fully serious about the idea would be a good concept for those who live in WHs and cant choose what they want to build.

It is fun to speculate, but cant wait to find out for real, looking forward to the announcement.

lol completely missed that stream.

low impact - 2x tourny ships
void - 3x missile based pirate ships
advanced - T2 venture

T2 Venture!
With *spoiler alert* three Turret Hardpoints!

As the few players only category really appears to be a hint towards a chameleon that whips its tail, my bet for the void to be filled would be something for the pirate factions as well. Maye Battlecruisers - which would result in a total of 8 new ships Or even 9, when the Sisters jump on that train too. Still more than one, less than 10 \o/

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

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

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.


This^^, there indeed have been a huge void between industrials and freighters for too long. It would go well along the theme of this expansion :).

A new pirate race, a mining 'dread' and t1/t2 ore mining 'battleship' sized thing.

It's probably going to be industrial-related.

Apparently there are empty mordus pirates files in Chaos client build. It seems like we will be getting missile pirate faction boat by summer... Time to train up missiles skills to V...

Since CCP is putting the other faction ships into the game...

Mordus ship line will be introduced.

One can assume that frigates are one of the categories due to the new sub menus on SiSi. "Non-Empire faction" under frigates

i would think we can rule out AT ships as the summer expansion is usually june.. and the AT wont finish until september as has been announced

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

i would love to see new t2 ships off the ships they haven't used before e.g. algos, naga, abbadon.

the new t2 ships could perform roles such as cloaky campers giving it a new module that can deactivate cloaks with in a set area. anew form assualt battleship.

and if they t2 the tier 3 battlecrusiers make them like a heavy bomber or long range bomber with cruise or torps with the bomb launcher aswell.

also new T3 hull sizes based of frigate and battleship would be awesome

We're getting Mordu's Legion pirate faction ships- they'll be caldari/minmatar and use missiles.

I would like to see Mordus ships, using Caldari and Minmatar bonuses (since that's the only missing combination for pirate ships after the introduction of SoE ships). Since their space and LP store already exist it shouldn't be hard to introduce them, unlike say EoM. They should have bonuses to missile RoF/velocity/explosion velocity (Caldari) and Shield Boost amount or Target Painter effectiveness (Minmatar).

I'm also hoping that the last group Fozzie mentioned are T2 Attack Battlecruisers.

Workarounds are not bugfixes.

Hello there Liam, I am humbled you believe my alliance to be so important to be turned into a Faction, but however, we are actually a Player Alliance, and will sadly not be receiving our own Ship Line

I believe you mean Mordus Legion, and for the sake of being correct, this would not be a Pirate Faction ships line, if indeed true, but instead a regular old Faction ship line, such as SOE and ORE.

O tempora o mores!
