Missing Battle ships in EVE

I think its time Caldari pilots were shown some love. I think we need 2 more battleships.

1) Pirate faction Battleship with bonuses to missiles, Rattlesnake is not it, it gets bonuses to drones.
2) Caldari Marauder with bonuses to hybrids. If you going to give a race 2 weapon systems, you should cater for progression for both. If you train hybrids and Caldari battleship to 5.. where to?

This is a good idea, however you realise of course that if CCP do add this, they'll also have to add:

- Minmatar torp marauder
- Gallente drone marauder
- Amarr drone (laser?) marauder

Because you can't just give one race extra ships. Although, it'd almost be worth it just to see the QQ.

Changed my mind. Make it Navy versions of the T3 battleships.

9 gun Rokh? Yes please!

No, Gallente do not have a 'missile' line of ships, they have a hybrid line and a drone line. hence the Drone marauder I suggested above.

form what I've heard, it would be an amarr missile marauder.
one problem with the drone marauder is that it would be hard to give it proper bonuses that wouldn't either make it OP or make it totally useless next to something like the navy domi or rattle.

I have long been a fan of expanding corporation created ships and modules and faction based ships and mods.

I won a T-Shirt contest with the Kaalakiota Widow shirt on Jinx, and my entire inspiration behind it was the fact it was released BY Kaalakiota. I think what we could expand on is much less EMPIRE based and more faction and corps. If you look at all Guristas ships, they have a 5% bonus to shield resists and drone damage modifiers. Also every ship including frigates can use 5 drones of their class size at least.

Worm: 5 scouts
Gila: 5 heavies (i may be mistaken)
Rattlesnake: 5 heavies

Outside of this predefined Frigate, Cruiser, Battleship, the factions which seem to be as large as the empires have no other identifying ships. However if you run missions against Guristas, you will see there are Ferox hulls, Ospreys, and just about any caldari hull all decorated as a Guristas ship.

If you want to get them to add to the list, we need to create more faction ships. Eventually I could see Tier 1-3 of all factions and empires, and maybe 1-3 ships from each corporation that is just a T1 variant, however the nature of EVE takes time to evolve, and slow constant iteration of new ships is preferred to mass release and then mass QQ about how ruined the game is so everyone quits.

I dont care, more space for me.

...um.. fire?

I totally agree, a Khanid BS would also make me skill Ammar BS to 5. Cause at the moment all Ammar BS are effectiv, but a kind of boringWhat?

Gallente got one developer for missiles: Rhoden Shipyards. They use Hybrid for short to mid range and missiles for long range instead of drones.

Gallente have exactly 1 ship (Eors) that has any kind of bonuses to missiles. 1 ship does not make a missile line.

I'll say it again, Gallente had hybrid and drone lines, not missiles lines.

The Nemesis and Lachesis would argue with you here.

Also, CCP has mentioned how they are looking into Gallente having a missile line of ships. The idea behind it being that certain ships would suit being missile slingers in their current and/or planned roles. I believe these are to be:

Tristan -> Nemesis
Maulus -> Keres
Celestis (sadface to losing my shield gank blaster Celestis) -> Lachesis / Arazu

Ah missed some. Oh well, no one is perfect. Still, 3 ships does not a missile line make. As for what CCP says... well they say alot of things, and currently in-game, Gallente do not have a missiles line.
