Here's my 2 cents worth.

Yes to the concept of Light Command Ship based on a Destroyer Hull

Being a T2 ship it will have roles and bonuses and stuff, I suggest the following:
Able to fit upto 2 Command Links, no bounce to effectiveness/maybe a bonus to fitting
Same number of Weapon Hardpoints as High Slots, so that the pilot has to decide how much DPS to Sacrifice for links
NO Bonus to DPS, perhaps a bonus to range
Bonus to Tank or Speed, to either have the tank of a cruiser, or the speed tank of a frigate/interceptor, not both(I expect all to have the tank of a cruiser except for the Minmatar one which has the speed)

sure, once they have the on-grid thing implemented... commandship all the things.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

or you could give it a damage bonus with an equivalent decrease in number of high slots. That would use up a skill bonus for essentially no return while also making the cost of fitting ganglinks higher. Twisted

Nice Amplification of the idea :)

Absolutely, with CCP making small ships more viable and the off grid boost changes, this is a perfectly logical request.

Supported, but I suggest they only use a maximum of 1 link per hull while still being able to decently fit the rest of the hull.

There needs to be a reason to use heavier and slower ships. Two links is pushing the envelope, but I'll support that if it's as difficult to do as fitting twin bubblers on an interdictor. A single T2 destroyer should not be able to fit three links, ever.

Hull ideas:

Kaalakiota Corax (Black & Red)
Creodron Algos (Pearlescent Green/Blue)
Viziam Dragoon (Green & Gold)
Core Complexion Talwar (Black with Blue lights)

Either 1 link, or a reduced bonus. I'd prefer a reduced bonus, but having about 2 links.

I would say 2 links, normal bonus, hard to fit.

Retribution destroyer hulls are a good idea.

Please consider.

More t2 destroyers :D

I've always wanted this actually, just never got around to posting about it.

Love the idea of a command destroyer, especially when their only other counter parts are already a major part of fleets (interdictors).

This will add quite a bit of variety to the ship class, and well balanced variety is a good thing.

I also like this idea. It'd probably be best if it were limited to fewer simultaneous command modules then the larger versions, but it'd definitely be cool to see when OGB is removed.

since their faster could they also be good for a hac fleet to keep up with all the mwd action?

maybe the destroyer command ship bonus could have a sig radius reduction or just have a small sig radius
for when they are running with a mwd hac fleet?

Oh hell yeah please!!

Always wanted to experiment with what it's like providing some combat links, but T1 BC far too slow for the T1 cruisers and below most of our fleets roam in, Command ships out of the question without even knowing fist hand the potential of links, nor the investment for such a kitchen sink fleet. Same for T3 command, not worth the full training and cost for something untested on smaller scale.

More destroyers are a very good idea! I would like to see them having a proper rack of hulls and uses like frigs and cruisers.
