What tactical role do you see these ships filling?

That's hardly justification for implementing the suggestion.

aww, come on. Who doesn't want PL dynamite fishing with bigger faster better rides. Only choosing them since they'd have the balls to run them I know for sure. Well run them not in pve only. Sure they got picked on for losing a space turd...pilot at least had the balls to run it and not just log in to stare at it lol.

But beyond that....not feeling this really. t2/t3 cap and mommy doctrines.....even with current t1 meta there is divide here between the blob and else.

But I could be persuaded....all op has to say is the new caps and higher for caldari are hybrid based. To have caldari's gun based end game not be a tier 3 bc. I like the rokh, just makes me a little sad to get fullest gun potential I turn to Naga lol.

You're the one making the suggestion. Burden's on you for suggesting it.

Into the ground, since as it stands, the proposal has no merit.

Its the only justification.

More capital things to blow up = more capital PvP = yayness.

On a more serious note:

T1 carriers of today need to become:

T1 Carriers of tomorrow:
- 1 logi wannabe variant. (existing carriers - kill the ability to use sentry drones and un-nerf fighters)

- 1 Drone boat variant (pure DPS, add new and better fighter drones that ccan actually gank sub caps and presto)

- 1 hybrid weapon (drones & turrets / missiles) variant for semi-solo anti cap / anti super fun.

T2 Carriers of tomorrow:
- 1 pure Logi carrier (reps like a boss - ala Guardians / Basies anybody?) - No point to have t2 sub cap logi's if t1 will do nicely with your "not a reason argument"... if sub capitals can have t2 versions that are just better than the t1 version for no other reason... then so can Capitals.

- 1 pure advanced fighter / drone Carrier (black ops / recon role - cloaky warpable / covert cyno (jump with no cyno?) carriers that allow players to see what their drones are seeing, allow more playability with fighter drones... maybe even give this carrier fighter bombers)

- 1 heavy carrier (semi super carrier with lots of hybrid weapon system DPS bonuses) - chews through large sub caps / capitals and supers like lightsabers through butter.

T1 Dreads of today need to become:

T1 Dreads of tomorrow:
- 1 Siege boat (already in place)

- 1 Battleboat (Battleship version of a Dread, complete with capital MWD / Afterburners & more turrets / missiles without siege, give this ship a new weapon system (flak turrets or something of the like) to break up large groups of sub caps - force them apart the way interdictors were supposed to with pure firepower. Make this weapon system an anti-kiting system that does more damage to smaller ships with med-high transversals / orbiting you at range etc)

- 1 E-war dread (for pure anti super e-war)

T2 Dreads of tomorrow:
- T2 siege boat: give this dread the turret / missile tracking of old dreads (allow blapping in siege) with moar DPS against stationary or very large ships. More tankyness.

- T2 Capital Interdictor (Locks down jumpdrives and cynos / bridging capabilities with an AoE module - like a HIC). This will be a pure anti super / anti capital / anti-support / anti logistics (moving) ship. Change up bubble mechanics to only prevent warp drives and not jump drives.Also split disruptor / scrambler module(s) ability to prevent jump drives from activating, forcing cap fleets to have these to tackle / lock down capitals / supers.

- t2 dread e-war boats with tanky hulls (only ships that can use e-war on supers). ECM, Neuting, damps, tracking nerfs etc.

I'd also like to see a super dread someday... for lolz.

Now we're talking.

I would not be opposed to T2 Dreads and Carriers.

I would be vehemently opposed to T2 Moms and Titans. I'm already vehemently opposed to T1 Moms and Titans.

Get rid of T1 Moms and Titans and you'll have a role for T2 Dreads and Carriers to fill. Not only that, but those roles can be somewhat properly balanced this time around, too.

I started Eve a long time ago. Near the beginning, perhaps it was 2005? I don't remember. The game has come a long way and it's a lot better than it used to be. However, it's also lost a sense of wonder. A sense where anything is possible and the end game is so far away, it's just a single star in the sky.

In the beginning people didn't know what they were doing. There was so much content that was there, but no one had yet touched any of it. It was all a vast ocean with distant mountains that seemed so far and amazing. Well, we've crossed the ocean and reached the mountains. We've arrived. Titans are everywhere. And guess what? Games slowly die out when people have tried everything.

So how can we prolong the inevitable? We create new distant mountains. We rekindle a sense of awe and wonder in this huge expanse we call space. We need a massive injection of new goals that seem impossible. Yet maybe, just maybe they are possible with time.

The suggestions I made are bigger goals which will prolong Eve's life span.

The truth is we need game changers. Perhaps something like an alien race which has organic ships which fight in totally different ways than the currently available ships. And then we could reverse engineer these ships and produce them ourselves. It would be a big change since we would have these different ships with different requirements and mods plus they would have to be balanced within the Eve universe. I'm not saying we should do this idea.

I'm encouraging brainstorming.

I've done my part. We need CCP to do theirs.

I'd like to see less obvious troll posts
