Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would very much appreciate it if both of a race's weapons systems were represented in the navy ships.

This could go for other sizes as well, though.
Change the battleships to have one ship for each of a race's weapon system and having two faction frigates and two navy BCs (and two navy destroyers) would also be nice.

Option A is interesting, but I think more faction hulls would be needed in general before it would make sense to look into adding specialist roles, and C doesn't really seem like it would have much of a use, even if it could be useful to have an industrial with a ship maintenance bay.

No.
The navy Osprey is a terribad ship, but thats a question of balancing.
The other navy faction logi cruisers are used quite often and are fairly balanced.

Caldari have poor options for navy ships all round, every one of them in missiles, rarely seen outside highsec and it shows in the LP market. The Navy Caracal and Osprey are the least used faction cruisers in pvp, if anything I'd say the Nosprey is the better of the two because it works better with rapid lights.

I don't understand why we don't have navy rail ships like a navy rokh and a navy moa?

Most navy ships are in a good spot. Couple of them need some minor tweaking. Focusing mainly on the T1 logistic's variations here.

Scythe FI is quite a neat little ship under the surface. Its good in both weapon platforms its bonused for. Its a fast, skirmisher that it is well bonused for RLML (dmg bonus > rof bonus). Mini orthrus pretty much. Or it can fit an XLASB w/ dual prop and 180's and do close to 500dps and have a sig the size of a destroyer (even smaller with x-instinct booster). Can't really think of anything wrong with it (other than i can't fit 4 720's on it for super sexy reload speed )

Augoror Navy: One of the few cruisers outside t3 that can get BS levels of tank. Over 100k with 2 t2 1600 plates. Coupled with the sig of a cruiser, and its a baby t3, just with really horrible dps in that configuration. Its also not that slow as long as you're not slapping plates on it, and kite fits do exist. But tbh, i think it excels at being the tackle ship that is like a turd that won't flush.

Exequror Navy: Kind of an oddball ship, people like to put blasters on it which can work for melting things. As this has pretty high dps for a navy cruiser. Cap is pretty bad though, so its susceptible to neuting (RoF bonus doesn't help the cap issue). It can make a decent kiter though, and is fast/agile enough to do it with the right fit. I'd say a cap buff is pretty much all it needs, maybe a smidge more CPU.

Osprey Navy: Its like a scyfi when using scourge, but can get a substantial shield tank, or use dual webs, or EWAR. It is semi-versitile. At the same time, it feels pretty luckluster too. Its never going to match the scyfi in terms of being able to be bonused to all missile types. It also has pretty terrible cap and sig isn't as good. I think giving it a 5th launcher would offset only have a 5% bonus to non-kinetic missiles, and boost kinetic missile dps enough to actually make ita threat against non-t2 gallente ships. This also follows the theme of no utility high's on caldari ships, but you get an extra turret. Slight cap buff would be nice as well.

On the other hand, a rail focused Nosprey could be interesting as well.

With the possible exception of the Navy Osprey leave them alone, I've flown them a lot and not only do they work but they work well.

Navy caracal is a bag of spanners and you know it

Maybe if she had more cpu .....
