create a new "triage, siege" mod and call it what ever CCP decides to call it... it uses stront and it helps tank and fighter damage... you can only have triage or this new mod... once u add this new mod u are not allowed to fit remote logistics mods...

then... you create a new hisec mod and call it whatever ccp decides to call it depending on what racial ship its designed for... it will act like a flak cannon.... the idea is to have for example a mod called the Duodecuple(x12) 60mm Auto-Flak Cannon and its purpose is to kill drones, fighters and fighter bombers... anything above a destroyer will take little to very little damage from this aoe weapon.... you must be in "triage, siege" for the weapons to activate so you must commit to the fight for the duration of the siege to use these weapons... it will operate like the remote ecm accept you set range from ship and then point camera in the direction u want the flak coverage... it will make an area of small explosions for the time the mod is operating... being able to fit only so many after testing can give ccp the control of how effective this is...

while making a cool looking effect in game and giving a broader range of abilities to the carrier, it will help deal with lag by killing off drones...

looks cool... gives more to the carrier... helps solve lag.....

just an idea i had at work... i was thinking about "saint" from the dominion trailer... that looked great...

I'd rather have a T2 Destroyer that was dedicated to point defence. Isn't that the actual role of a Destroyer? To screen the bigger ships from Drones/Fighters?

A T2 Destroyer that could fit a specialised weapon to kill fighters and drones would be a lot of fun.

with mineral prices what they are, and likely to climb this ships properly climbing into the 1 bill mark + for the hull alone.

As much as id love to fly one, you could fit and loose 8 tier 3 bc's and properly have alot more fun for your isk per engagement.

CCP's making smaller ships a more viable and rewarding platform, both in performance and cost per loss.

Bs's are costing much much more to fit and field for much less gain in dps and tanking.

Anti-drone sounds like a great role for new destroyer. Maybe just something like 5 x 50% bonus on smartboms range (thats 10km from 4km). But would have only 4x ~ 6x medium smatbomb. Something like that. Easy to implement, no stupidly complicated new modules.

CCP really please dont use Upgraded, Limited, Experimental and Prototype in item names. It sounds like the item is actually worse than basic meta 1 item. Use Calibrated, Enhanced, Optimized and Upgraded. Its really easy to understand that the item is better than meta 1 and its also in alphabetic order.
