Name: Artemis
Hull: Thorax Class
Role: Heavy Assault Ship
Developer: Roden Shipyards

With the introduction of the newest modifications to the Thorax's hull Roden Shipyards did something no one would expect from a Gallentean corporation. Instead of creating yet another ultimate close range brawler Arnerore Rylerave and her team focused on a well balanced all rounded ship that was intended to be the policing force in the lawless space. To perform well in this role Artemis was modified to be fast and agile. It was also given the reworked Proteus' advanced injector system to be able to outrun all sorts of pirates and guerilla and a friction extension proccessor to catch them.

All of this came at a price. Artemis' internal hull structure resembles that of a Minmatar design which can't be called someting sturdy in a usual Gallentean sense. The injector system also takes up half of the space that used to be Thorax's generous cargo bay. To compensate for the lower surviveabilty of the hull Ms Rylerave made a bet on the advanced shielding systems that were developed in a cooperation with Minmatar tribes.

Why?

Just to give another ship to one faction and not the rest?

Is there something wrong with the current gallant HAC?

Do you want to replace the current HAC or just add a new one?

Do you want new ones for each faction as well?

What are you trying to accomplish and why should the rest of us care?

Would be useful against Amarr ships. Otherwise, probably too overpowered, and maybe not really needed. Also, it tends to look just a little too well rounded in that it would be effectively devastating as a PvP ship..

Can I have one? Big smile

Eve doesn't need more ships. Let them balance what we have and then see where things stand.

looking at this, it is pretty close to the diemos, could ignore the MWD bloom role boost and give it the 15% per level decrease to MWD cap instead of the 5% that it has now.
the shield idea is interesting, and actually a little fitting for the pair of minmatar and gallente. possibly if this were made its own ship, they could make another similar one for the minmatar that has joint operation technology from the gallente.

1. I just believe that the MWD role bonus(or something along these lines) is an absolute must to diverse HACs from BCs. Combined with the proposed cruiser speed buffs it would help to diverse the class from BCs and their T1 counterparts.

2. Rounded up ressists is something CCP disregarded way too easily. Notice how it still has the kin/therm maximal as the Gallente historical enemies are Cladari/Serpentis. If you think that this is too flavorish the current one needs an EM Ward Field or an Explosive Hardener to make it even work.

3. Emphasis on shields and speed rather than armor and firepower. Given that Thorax is getting a 4th midslot I think it is a good branching of the hull's family.

4. The ship combines ideas from T2 E-war vessels and a T3 Proteus in one hull yet focuses on different features to make it strong.

5. I believe the EVE could have more t2 ships given that they are diversified from what already exists and balanced out enough. Maybe not right now, but when the rebalancing is done, why not?
