Micro shield extender. who the **** uses that. and WHY.

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

Speaking of Micro

Micro Smart Bombs.

There is a fine line between a post and a signature.

Quad Light Beam Lasers.

Coolest looking turret by a long shot, actually does better damage than the caliber above it. With a RoF bonused hull you can actually get cycle time under 1 second with heat. AMAZING! But, it has less range than a frigate weapon. I would give my left nut for a Quad Light Laser that had two thirds the tracking and three halves the range. That's all they'd have to change and this would go from the worst turret in the game to FRIGGIN' AWESOME!

If I remember correctly, the first Titan kill was due to Micro Smart Bombs. And spies.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

I've used a Bantam to make oh-crap-I'm-out-of-ammo-right-NOW runs. Wanted frigate-sized speed (A.K.A too lazy to wait for an iteron to align), and it has a cargo capacity bonus. Yay?

I'm beginning to like this idea, although it would be pretty difficult to balance properly.

Yet unlike every other ship in the game, you can't find another use for it once you "Grow out of it"
Even if it's just to make a T2 ship.
.


so, new players need ships. they are there for a purpose. who cares if they dont have any other use and not used when you "grow out of them".

Those are called Rookie Ships.

Every other Ship is supposed to have a generalized role that increases by designation of: T1 > Faction > T2 / Pirate >T3 where applies.

The Mining Frigate does not meet that requirement which is why CCP Soundwave said in a recent interview they are scrapping the Mining role for Logistics and moving new ORE Ships to take there place.

I am loving the T1 rebalance more and more.

Shield Flux Coil

Small/Micro shield extenders

50/100mm plates

Small remote rep modules

Named EAMNS (T2 adaptive nano plating only requires hull upgrades IV, has better resists and uses no CPU)

Web drones/ damp drones/ target painting drones (stacking penalty is terrible)

Small remote rep modules?

Lawls, I love ignorance like this. It makes my RR AF gangs that much more effective.

They should combine defender missles and F.O.F. missles and make a missle that auto targets the closest and smallest targets (AKA drones and missles and friggs) they should still let it go in any launcher and make a launcher that dose not count as a missle launcher but can only use the new missles for your utility hi's.


I wanted to paint my space ship red, but I couldn't find enough goats.

Passive Targeter

The first is used by some missioners and some logistics, because it allows you to keep more targets locked.
Passive targeter is great for suicide ganks, as well as some niche PvP uses. I'd be pretty awesome if someone did alpha fleets with all passive targeters. Enemy Logi's would be worthless.
