Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Another 'more ships just cause' thread?

How do you imagine the faction dessies working? Turrets? Or the alternate weapon systems? Will the Minnie be a dual weapon system?
What specialisations for BC's do you want to see?
What mining specialisation? Options?
And t2 logi are powerful enough. Im just gonna say no to that.

Gas-mining cuisers would be a plus.

So some ideas percolating in my head:

Secondary faction destroyers and battlecruisers.

EOM
A great choice with gal/amarr bonuses, the sexy color scheme and blaster bonused amarr hulls
Signature bonus:
hybrid range

Syndicate
Lovely gallente hulls repainted in their colors, gal/cal bonuses and a focus on agility and range control
Signature bonus
MWD capacitor reduction

Interbus:
That color scheme we all love to hate on caldari inspired hulls, with projectile or missile bonuses and a strong theme of tough shields and cal/min bonuses
Signature bonus
Signature radius reduction

ORE
As everyone knows, ore has been making premiere combat frigates for awhile, and been selling them with a wink as "mining frigates". This expertise, when scaled up to a full line of "mining" ships with this sort of capability relative to their class, would make for some fun ships to mine other players hulls for salvage with.
Signature bonus:
Ore hold and mining bonused. Because otherwise it's not ORE.

A third line of Combat battlecruisers,

Minmatar get a dedicated arty platform with the grid and tracking bonuses to actually use medium arty

Caldari get a damage/range bonused platform that loses the iconic shield resist bonus for a slightly more offense oriented platform

Amarr gets a CBC with more grid and a tracking bonus to accomodate a beam based battlecruiser

Gallente get a slower, heavier blaster boat than a brutix, with a tracking bonus in place of the armor rep bonus.

A line of logistics battlecruisers

With the same t1 resist profile as the t1 logi cruisers, the output rep wise (4 large reps as max reasonably sustainable) and much less damage mitigation than a t2 logi cruiser, I envision these as a slightly newbro friendlier way to get 70-80% of the performance of t2 logistics cruisers on grid, without the cap, link or rep drone bonuses that help make t2 logi so much more effective, and with a need to put fairly high levels of EHP on them without t2 resists.

Yes, more ships, please.
Means to achieve that goal I suggest: make some garbage ones usable in modern realities. Thanks.

Blender- errm, no, Nestor.

And I want to see CCP Falcon doing a handstand.

Before looking at BS logi (like you've said, their reps are pretty good, just lacking reach), I'd say we need better understanding of what frig logi are supposed to be and how they are supposed to perform.

You'd think that frig holes would at least offer them some niche, but no, someone decided it was a good idea to also make them instablap holes with logi being of no use even more.

But I wouldn't say I want T2 frig logi or something until we figure out T1 ones at least.
