We don't currently have a Caldari/Minmatar pirate faction so if we ever get a chance to add that one (I hope we do someday but we don't have anything currently in the works) then missiles would fit very well there.



OR :

for example each pirate race has 2 sets of bs hulls except for sansha and angel

but serpentis has domi and mega (and only mega is playable)

guristas have scorpion and raven (but only scorp hull is playable). so why not use the raven hull to be a full on pirate missile boat?

blood : armagedon is playable as bhaalgorn,but i wish i could play the apocalyse version blood uses as a high dps laser boat.

EoM are better suited for an Amarr-Gallente pirate line. I see them as being be laser-drone based faction (or some sensor dampening-tracking disruption monstrosity). Pirate

Mordu's Legion could be something to toy with in regards to making a Caldari-Minmatar hybrid. They're closely associated with the Caldari but they are primarily mercenaries and operate just outside of "lawful space"... a place where many Minmatar "nomads" call home. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Caldari mercs use Minmatar ingenuity (specifically Thukker) to upgrade their ships.


problem mordu's legion is a Merc entity hired by O.R.E. to defend assets and mining fleets from pirates it's simple storyline you can't break

We also need Gallente/Amarr, don't forget.

Mordu's Legion was originally a group of former Caldari Navy veterans, but later saw a significant influx of Intaki. Intaki are technically considered "gallente" even though we are not.

Pretty sure they're only considered "Gallente" under the same guise that someone's heritage can be Irish but still be "American".

That's how I've always seen it.

There are a few factions that need some ships. Ammatar, Thukers, Tash, Mordu, a few others.

Thukker ships are already represented by the Thukker Mix branch of T2.

Not to mention Gila and Rattlesnake.

Gila's CPU cap is so low you basically can't use the missile bonus though.

Description & Bonuses

Taking what he had learned from his days in the Caldari Navy, Korako "The Rabbit" Kosakami, Gurista leader, decided that he would rub salt in the State's wounds by souping up their designs and making strikes against his former masters in ships whose layout was obviously stolen from them. To this end the Gila, bastard twin of the Moa, has served him well.

Special Ability: 50% bonus to light, heavy and heavy assault missile velocity

Caldari Cruiser Skill Bonus: 4% bonus to shield resistance per level

Gallente Cruiser Skill Bonus: 10% bonus to drone hitpoints and damage per level

that you get more range with missiles is nice but guristas are drone ships by default
gila should be able to put up quite a punch on that alone
