I saw people talking about PVP is dying in EVE. Partially i'm agree with this point, although i still can find a pvp for myself out of alliance big battles. But i miss old times in EVE on other hand, when there was PVP on each gate with beautifull gang compositions and amazing fights. So as i was thinking about it, one idea came on my mind..

The point lays in a boost of command ships with special ability wich works only when Fleet consist of ship by one race.

Here a few variants:

1. Command ship role bonus boost from 3% to 5% per lvl
Pluses:
- Eos will get people back to right fitted Lachesis & Arazu by using there amazing damps, and rebuilding war tactics of a fleet, although it can bring back gallentians generally )
- Claymore will make Mattars fly faster giving a sharm of "nanoera"
Minuses
- Damnation & Vulture may give to much resitance bonus but not sure about this, calculations required here.
* This bonuses should not be applied on Capital ships.

2. Bonuses from Titans
There are very nice bonuses from titans in eve, but most pilots dont know how it feels, 'coz they never participated in epic fights with titans. So the "true"race format fleet - is the way to let people have this bonuses.
So.. command ships can have additional Role bonus "+7.5% ...... per skill level"
In this case both Field & Fleet Commands should have it, as in fleet of 10 pilots field command is more usefull ship.

No doubt this bonus have to be an individual skill with big Xmodefire...
Also such bonuses should have a wing limit of about 50 pilots in my opinion, but maybe i'm wrong.. Maybe there should be 2 variants when forming fleet - "Form fleet" and "Form "true" fleet" =)
===========

I'm sure it will make EVE more delicious, get pilots from F1 button to a "piano" game, generate more small and middle fleets, bring more fun
Also it may carry forward faction wars idea from low sec to 0.0
I instantly appologize for my english, as i'm russian)

Think only roleplayers would like this idea with the race being so strong, be hard to find enough same race pilots, except for abaddon, drake, or cane blobs.

The point is that EVE bring veriety of different ways to fight. Some times i think i'm the only one fc that use tracking links oneiroses in fleet which makes megathrons fire on 50km with blasters delivering a huge ammount of dps in middle range fights. and we won planty fights against double outbalanced drake fleets or cynabals due to damps and tracklinks on arazu and oneiros. every race has it;s benifits. some times it harder then F1 button, but much more interesting and funfull on other hand. i just wish people to find that there is something else except drakes and abbadons) because format fleets can do much more

I think there should be a specific command ship, same as the "new" salvaging vessel, the main function of which being command, instead of dragging BCs into it. BCs should be that slick warrior alone. Converting it to something else is just horrid! EEK!

Specific command ship for each race. Get on it. We expect this by springtime. Keep us posted. Out.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Maybe a Pirate Faction Command Ship? Angel for angels and matars, Serpentis for serpentis and gallente etc..

increasing variety by limiting fleet compositions to same-race ships.

sounds great

I assume this is with null?

As a mega pilot I like this idea and will be trying it out as I have been trying to build a fleet around my flagship that isnt just canes/scimi (which works very well I might add)

Correct. 2 tracklinks and Nulls make shooting range up to 18+37km. however shooting above fallof still make a good damage for such case..
