more EHP, more EHP!

make them like BC stand to cruisers!

7000 shield, 2000 armor, 3000 structures please. These ships must not be glass cannons and instapop in fleet. My FC doesn't like stuff that goes boom in first 30 seconds.

Then fly fleetBC instead of destroyer... simple.


I thought to myself the same thing. Every small droneboat SHOULD look like drone-mought with engines. Its matter of proportions. If its uses same drones as battleship and BS often have visible drone launcher bays - its obvious that very very small ship compared to BS size boats should have such drone-holes proportionally bigger, even 1/2 of their size.



Opposite. Caldari's dessie look stylish in their way and very powerfull (cold steel).
Im more afraid of plans to revamp Tempest hull. If CCP make it just plain SYMMETRICAL.. it will be ruin. Modern ruin. Ripped from matari soul.

maybe you should have a closer look at the new tempest. it is far from symmetrical, (btw, a lot of minmatar hulls are symmetrical..) don't let the upper engine exhausts decieve you ;)
this model is a true tempest 2.0

and for the new minmatar dessi; the model to be seen last weekend on duality (and this weekend probably too) was a major update to the one on youtube. a huge load of detail was added. looks awesome. people who think otherwise have no taste for steampunkspaceshipgoodiness :P

I like the new tempest. Old ships need a refit kind of like the first Enterprise in Star Trek got a refit for the movies.

Has the minne dessie changed that much? You just talking about better textures? Pic?

err, scram him! Yeah, I meant scram him.

The amarr dessie will carry a full rack of ec-300s. That, along with the neuts will be enough for him to bail on any frigate if things don't go as planned.

The Minmatar destroyer is a lightly armored box with big engines, lots of weapons points, traditional panels, and not a damn thing more.

I have no issues with this.

If it looks like a cargo hauler it must have a visible extra bay. In what way would a drone bay differ in appearance from a cargo bay?

You're in luck. It's still vertical. It's still asymmetrical. And it and the Vargur are easily by far the coolest looking battleships in the entire game now. It's like the old model, but the builders had time and effort to plan out it's structure. It's still a Tempest. Now it is a solid, beefy looking Tempest with a whole new much cooler looking bridge (and the Vargur has a unique model as well, with the most amazing solar panels. Check it out when you have a chance.)

I am in love with the new Caldari Destroyer!

\o/

After doing some testing, theres a couple small nicks that could use some fixing;

Caldari Destroyer - Very very tight on PG, fitting full rack of light missiles and an MWD is horrible. As an example of how poor it's PG is, it has the same amount as the redone Kestrel.

Minnie Destroyer - Interesting lil boat, capable of both armour and shield tanking. Considering this and the Caldari one are meant to be ranged platforms however it outshines the Caldari one in most instances which is kind of daft.

Amarr Destroyer - Hilarious fun, literally spot on, capable of doing exactly what it's designed for.

Gallente Destoyer - A flying fist of doom with a stylish look to it. Very impressive little ship to be perfectly honest.


Just a quick thing there of what I saw, no doubt it'll get bogged down by terrible posts but hope someone from CCP sees this.
