Ships & Modules

That mount medium sized weapons? It seems a logical progression now that we have Battlecruisers mounting large sized weapons.

I would rather see new destroyers using the other weapon systems for each race.
Drones for gallente, light missiles for caldari and rockets (?) for amarr. No idea what minmatar should get, unless they get the rockets and amarr get something else.

Frigates with medium guns? I wonder how that would look...

Why not add more with large weapons, because bombers are fine yeah?

What we need is new tier 2 dreads with XXL-sized weapons that can destroy planets. Its a logical followup for the new tier3 battlecruisers.

Actually it is interesting.
Since new t3 BCs are useless Destroyers with the medium guns might work.

Or even boost Assault Frigs so they could mount them.

There, I fixed that for you. Happy?

Fare enough.

Though the Amarr one is not bad to be honest.

But god the Nado is just somethin else.

A new Caldari destroyer with 8 light missile launchers would be quite fun

First there is a historic basis for the new style of Battlecruisers. Tier 1 & 2 BCs are based off of the historic German battlecruiser philosophy and the new tier 3s are based off of the English battlecruiser philosophy and the proposal has been floating around out there to add in the English style since the introduction of teir 1 battlecruisers. There was a major role to fill with the current tier 3s that is fast firepower that can keep up with cruiser gangs.

Destroyers on the other hand are escort vessels to protect the fleet from smaller threats such as drones and frigates they are there for fire support and while I would love to see more variety of destroyers out there cramming on medium weapon systems really has no role. There are already light cruisers that do a better job in the destroyer role already and so what you are proposing would just make weaker existing ships. If you want fast cruiser firepower with medium guns try flying a Nanoed Shield buffered Stabber/Omen/Caracal (I am sure a gallente one can also fit this role) any of these would be able to fill this role that you seem to be trying to build a new class around.

These cruisers can be fitted with Nanofibers or Polycarbon Engine Housings to give them the agility and speed of the current destroyers while still having enough slots to fit them out with much better protection and firepower than their destroyer friends.

I personaly would like to see destroyers that have the powergrid, CPU, and hull attributes of a cruiser, light drone bays with less guns than the current renditions but allowing utility highs and more dps than the current Destroyers as long as their drones are out and as long as they survive but less dps when the drones are killed. Make them tough and built to stay with the fleet but still focuses on their intended targets, small ships.
