My EVE

Battleships are win and are very close to the top of my 'what to build next' list.

Your design Von Braun is a biological/mechanical ship? What is your concept or purpose of this craft in EVE?

Introducing this to EVE would be fascinating as a first ever bio/mechanical ship. A lore of nano-sciences horror, cybernetic virus outbreak, assimilating biomass, like another stage of Rogue Drone of evolution to sentient beings, as living ships in space. Not to delude the Sansha plot, but something really more fierce and darker than that.

I'd like to see Sentient Drones dependent on a strong hull tank, limited armor and intelligence comparable to Sleeper threats and a mix of Incursion mechanics. Maybe only to have these ships piloted with exclusive implants to interface the ship rather than a rack of skill books.

Pure win, Please let me know when you get this off the ground, i love the rifter but am shy of buying the USB one as I have been told it is plastic / not very strong.

Your models seem amazing, and as my 3yr old boy is so into space I would LOVE to give him something both EVE and SPACE related :D

I'm based in the Capital of New Zealand, Wellington.

Hi, you have raised some very interesting design topics there, bio-mechanics as a genre was a central part to the research competent of the Von Braun's design. The basic (off the top of my head) lore of the game System Shock 2 was that the sentient AI S.H.O.D.A.N. took control over two starships after she herself had been lost in space for many years on a station conducting biological research with viruses. This station was discovered by the crew of the two ships and she uploaded herself to them via a distress signal. S.H.O.D.A.N.'s experiments then find there way on board the Von Braun and infect the crew, most of them being absorbed into one large fleshy being called 'The Many' a hive mind that feeds from the energy of the warp drive.
The Sansha of EVE would be a great place to start a plot line like this, although EVE online was never the reason for building the Von Braun, it's ideas could be used quite nicely.
As with rouge drones, perhaps a sentient bio mechanical drone mothership could be introduced?? Drones are a hive mind themselves are they not??

Maybe sleepers find there way into K-Space via Capsuleer experimentation in W-Space???

The possibilities are quite endless :)

Thanks a lot, appreciated.
Carriers would definitely be cool, the Minmatar ones are relatively straight forwards too. Those huge flat panels make it quite a bit easier.

Do a Vexor too please.

Tollen Gallen likes battleships.

i think CCP Kiwi would fit better.

or CCP maori warrior...

All the best with your endeavour.

CCP used to produce a series of Battleship models using resin, though they didnt have weapons fitted. This was the Megathron Model which was sold through the previous incarnation of the eve store, but also produced the Raven, Tempest(?), and I think the Geddon.

There was also did the Navy versions of the ships, and i believe at one fan fest (2009??) there were a couple of Limited edition Ravens given away as part of a blind auction.

It would be good to have a group of ships from Frigates->Battleships for all races, the Gallante and Amarr would be some pretty nice models, some Caldari and Minmatar may be a little brittle due to their love of ariel like spikey bits (Raven, Tempest, Raven etc).
