Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Super idea.

Could only be more dangerous concept to add to game if you added high slots:
defense missiles dedicated and utility slots for cloak or logi transfer arrays.

Then I guarantee you that you would see these filled with T2 and T3 trying to transverse null -- and bumping into stuff that decloaked them. ROFLMAO

We are trying to give benefit to vigilant at keyboard players right? how about this

Shield HP 35000
Armor HP 10000
Hull HP 20000

Same slot layout

Ore Freighter bonus 10% shield resist per level

I may have mathed bad since I'm slightly drunk and its stupidly late but then again isn't that when we all do our best work :D

looks like it would be an effective at keyboard ship with those stats with a dc2 2 invul2's and 3 field extender2's

then you can utilize a mid and 2 lows for traveling faster

having a tank sufficient to protect the cargo inside it can be considered two ways, Light tank, but fast and agile, Heavy tank, but slow and plodding. Our new Space tug, the Bow something, is slow and plodding, but light on the tank. The cargo is fitted ships, ya, blah blah about the officer modules, no I don't want to take them off to ship my ships. We are getting the ship hauling ship to make it easier to haul ships, not to introduce another pain in the posterior mechanic. (see courier contracting ships to yourself so you can haul them yourself in the current mechanic) Beef up the tank, make it like a carrier, one million ehp. It doesn't need any weapons, its in high sec right. it just needs a defense, which would be buffer type. those who wish to gank them, and Im sure there will be, will figure out the way. But lets not make it super easy, which a paltry 400,000 ehp is, that number came from a perusal of the past 68 pages, so whatever it is, but it needs to be a million and carry three BS's, make it agile so it can align. that is all..

this is just my line of thought atm

since it is more of a carrier class of ship (to move ships around in HS)
it should have the tank (my pref the raw hp) of one but not have the combat abilitys of one.
(not many KMs for that without concentrated effort.)

now if it falls more under a "carrier" of ships (neutered of combat ability).
87500/100000/112500
arch /chimi /nid

or would you classify it as a ferry class ship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferry.
then it would be a ferry of ships and would fall more in line between a carrier and a freighter
(way to many KMs with not much more effort than killing an orca.)
but if it is along these lines i think it should have more of the hp S/A/H that is between the 2 classes of ship

That sounds fair to me. I would still like to see the SMB marginally penalized by the bulkheads though.

Or, you know... not being afk.

You are cute :)

That was a CODE bumping mach used by gankers to trap freighters. It was killed while on duty by anti gankers trying to help the freighter escape. The anti gankers have a bounty program set up for killing these bumping machs. If you notice it is fit for bumping, and the cloak was not being used :)

We gotta get you on duty in Uedama!


Edit - also, the Goons don't seem to understand the definition of "active tank"

Feel free to mail me in game if you need details.

i would assume that the updated info will not be available untill close to release due to ccp not wanting people to get a jump on building them like they have in the past.

edit: CCP feel free to correct me on this if you would like

i never said that i did not want to get a start on it just that CCP is holding back some of the info.
and i am aware of sis and visit regularly.

People who fly ore ships don't usually fit a tank anyway so I don't see the problem here.
