I realize these are meant to be very specialized ships, but it would be nice if the three that don't currently have drone space had 5 or 10 m3 for very limited drone support. That's not enough to significantly impact their PvP stats, but it would make them a viable option for people wanting to do missions on crazy mode. Twisted

you give them a dronebay and they would be able to counter ecm drones with theirs. Very specialized indeed

Was that suppossed to be combating or supporting this idea? It is hard to tell.

Also, I noticed that although CCP says they are Tech III, they don't have the Tech III or even the Tech II icon.

This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

TEIR 3, not TECH 3.

Tier 3. Tech I ships that need the base skill to level 3. Ships like the Rokh, Moa, and Merlin are all tier 3 ships. Tech III would be a 2-3 billion ISK ship.

Back on topic...

As for drones, the Gallente one has a full compliment of light drones. It makes it standout. This is just me, but I think one is enough. If you want drones (ecm, anti-ecm, anti-intercepter) go for the Talos.

what i want to see is them start looking into tier 4s and 5s.

as far as tier threes go. i would rather them decrease the drone bay on the gellente ship to 20 or even 15 m3. i understand gellente is drone specialty, but these four boats are no ordinary ships. if giving drone bays, i think it should be for all or none.

Tech 2 Tier 3 Battleships would be epic win.

Oh god no. This is a terrible idea. Tier 3 BCs are too good already.

Battleship alpha/dps in a smaller, FASTER THAN A FRIGGIN CRUISER, package? They're practically OP already... not too mention very cost effective ships...

I'd kinda like to see the other tier 3 battlecruisers gain a limited dronebay. Generally, cruiser sized ships and up get a dronebay. The exceptions are some tech 2 ships. But, they're tech 2 and therefore represent a very specialized role. And while the tier 3 battlecruisers do have a role, they aren't tech 2 and therefore lack that high level of specialization. I find it kinda inconsistent with the other tech 1 ships. Now, were the tier 3 battlecruisers to be tech 2, I'd have no problem with their lack of dronebays. But, that's unlikely to happen since them being tech 1 and somewhat easily accessible is part of their original concept.

Were the other tier 3 battlecruisers to get a dronebay, I think the Talos should be the upper limit, keeping its 25m3 dronebay. The Naga, being Caldari, should have the smallest dronebay. 10m3, maybe 15. The Oracle and the Tornado would be in the middle with 15 or 20m3.

Up until now, I thought, "Tier" and "Tech" meant the same thing on these forums because alot of people referred to Tech II ships as Tier II ships. No need to be a jerk.

You don't really know that, so don't act like you do. I never said every single person talked like that. I said alot, which is different.

I was inferring because I saw people talk like that on alot oh threads I read.
