it just seems (besides the frigs) pretty cut and dry one ship per pirate faction you can fly no variety what about the people who like the pirates ship we have plenty of models in game i personally like the angel cartel (being a minny/gallente carrier pilot) id love to fly a styx or an ixion or even possibly starting as angel cartel and having minmatar as a race empire angel cartel start in 0.0 with a little cartel noob ship i just think the pirate factions need to be revisted if were going to make them pretty to shoot at why not let us fly more of them ?

Just my opinion.
As long as they are on par with the non-pirate faction vessels I suppose, and, say, not be like what the Dramiel was before its balance/nerf patch.

I'm probably typing on a Tablet too, which means the auto-correct is silly and fixing typos is a pain. I ain't fixing them.

by all means thats what saying not a fleet of super ships but more variety to us pilots who are double specialized so insted of flying minny or gall i could fly angel ships and they be on par with id say t1 1/2 since you do have to learn both races to 5 to fly proper but by all means i am not asking for an over powered ship just more fancy ones to play with

I would love to be able to fly that Sansha frig that dies all the time when I sneeze at it in belts.

Also, I would like to see Blood Raiders use the faction ships some, instead of reskined Amarr ships all the time.

Capsuleers and Concord enforcement pilots have long told tales of the Incubus. Described as a speed demon of a frigate it is feared most by interceptor and attack frigate pilots for good reason: many interceptors have found themselves caught by such frigates before having their ship blown from beneath them.

Amarr Frigate Skill Bonus: 7.5% bonus to Small Energy Turret Tracking per level.
Caldari Frigate Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Small Energy Turret Damage per level.

There I made it... hey CCP can I get a job or maybe get somebody to transfer this thing onto Singularity for testing? lol

Make it that players with good standing with a pirate faction can buy blueprintcopies for all the pirate ships of that pirate faction.
Stats like their T1 Empire counterparts, but a bit more expensive.

As a ship collector (only T1 for price reasons) I would LOVE to have these pirate ships.
I often see pirate ships with a really awesome design and it's a shame these ships aren't available for capsuleers.

Hmmm, I wonder if we will see pirate versions of some of the T2 ships at some point.

Be very interesting. I am thinking they would take the specialization to an extreme.
