Khanid Full Ship Line

I would be in firm support of the implementation of a standalone Khanid ship line that focuses on heavy armor and missile brawling. Outside of the few expensive Khanid Tech 2 Ships there are no real missile armor ships. This would provide more opportunities for missile based pilots who would like to branch into armoured warfare. The new lines ships would not be carbon copies of the current Amar designs but instead their own models.

Khanid ships would exist as slow, heavily armored - high resist ships with low projection range on missiles but higher application. I don't have any specific suggestions - but In many cases it would be nice to see some of the sub factions becoming more prominent and developing their own ship lines (as long as said ship lines have distinguishable differences)

It would also be nice to see a faction that provides a platform for shield based laser ships. As well as the long awaited Caldari / Matar line ;)

There are both armor tanked missile ships and shield base Lazar ships..... in fact there is an entire faction line for the latter. Maybe at least look through isis b4 making a post for new ships

Please do explain. I am aware of Sansha ships (shield / lasers) as well as Minmatar - which cross tank. I am referring to a completely new line which has Tech 1 to Tech 2 all the way from Frigate to Battleship as I believe it would have value.

Matari ships are capable of some armor tanking - but majority of the time they are better off with shield fits. Outside of the Tech 2 Khanid ships I do not see any proper armor missile ships. Unless you can directly tell me which ones these are before being condescending.

The same applies for Shield Based laser ships. The point is to add more options to people - although these can be roughly achieved through pirate faction, it is not a dedicated line that someone can go through from Low Sp / ISK to High Sp/ISK. Adding lines that correspond to these type of fighting styles would provide valuable options.

While ill agree that more dedicayed armor missile boats would be nice i dont think it warents an entire branch.

More khanid ships would definitly be cool though.

I dont think we need a dedicated line for every possible combination of weapon and tank. The pirate faction frigs do not take long to train into. Its less than a day.

There still stands that there really isn't any reliable group of Armor Missile ships outside of the Tech 2 Khanid ships (Which are pretty good). I can agree with above poster that an entire line may not be necessary, but a few ships from some of the smaller factions which aren't "Pirate" (High price tag) or Tech 2 (high skill investment) would add a lot to different play styles.

What kind of actual play styles difference do you expect to get out of an armor missile ship that is really that different from a missile shield ship?
