Smug,

I like it, I'd like the 100% to damage to go to Torps, cruisers, and RHMLs.

Maybe the explosion radius, or maybe explosion speed like the Golum as you will be a faster boat.

And the Min be more a 7.5% shield boost bonus, too many missiles be a bit over kill. I really want it to be a missile shield set up. As the SOE are Amarr/Gal and is fully armor, I'd like it to be fully shields, but more an active shields.

Layout

H - 6
M - 7
L - 5

Rest sounds pretty on point though.

Like to see the Cruiser and Frigate layouts too.

I hope if they do do a Min/Cald it's a new skin too

Thukkers already have ships in game. Some of minmatar t2 ships are thukker. Like the vagabond.

They are not a mixed faction...

but mordus.. that coudl be interesting....

Most do, not all. Cruise, torps, lights and rocket are all alright. Hopefully HAMs, Heavies, rapids, defenders all get a good looking into.

Background-vise Mordus should be Caldari/Gallente, seeing as how they were formed by Intaki who sided with the Caldari during the war. They could of course switch Guristas into missile-using Cal/Min hybrids and make Mordus the new Cal/Gal ones.

Thukker wouldn't really make sense since a) there is nothing connecting them to Caldari and b) they already have ships in game. Several Minmatar t2s are made by Thukker Mix, a company that is part of the Thukker Tribe and their background talks about said ships being designed for and used by the Thukkers (Amarr have a similar thing with some t2s being made by the Khanid Kingdom rather than the Empire proper).

To be honest, what I'd really like to see would be Equilibrium of Man ships. Shield tanking railgun using Amarr hulls (so obviously Amarr/Cal) with a really nice paintjob. Would also allow them to finally make the Sansha ships into armour tankers like they should be (every npc Sansha ship is armour tanked, their faction tanking mods are for armour, their implant set is the Slave one, aka. the best set for armour tanking, yet for some reason their faction ships shield tank. It makes no sense).

Pirate missile boats should boast advanced fueling of missiles, increasing their speed rapidly, but burning out equally quick - same range, but much faster travel speed. They could be small so the launchers actually stand out (think like SBs, torp launchers fit awesome on them, but on Raven you can hardly see them).
And no idiotic assymetry/-ric launcher placement!

Mordus use gallente hulls. So they are wrong candidates for caldary/minmatar faction. EoM uses amarr hulls. So it is SoCT or ORE ;-) , who can be new pirates... Just kidding...

The best from my point of view is some military rebelion tribe inside Thukkers. Yes, they give ships to minmatars, but there can be also some special tribe, who goes dark way, who knows...

some Caldari ship already have velocity bonus, so it is nothing new.

I like other poster's suggestion about speed+missile+shield.

Like someone mentioned earlier, Thukker Tribe have ships in the form of T2 Minmatar ships, just like the Khanid produce T2 Amarr ships.

Also, Mordu's Legion was made of Intaki (Gallente) traitors led by a Caldari commander. From a purely lore perspective, Cal/Gal (Or maybe Gal/Cal) would make more sense for Mordu ships.

That being said, from a game balance perspective, I guess I don't see any reason why they can't introduce a dual Spaceship Command ship, say it belongs to a faction, and give it whatever Spaceship Command skill requirements they want. (Other than for consistency.)

Velocity bonus, which translates into longer range. Now go back and read what I posted again :P I'm talking about big (100%+) velocity bonus at cost of flight time.

How much I like a pirate ship that focus on missiles.

Let them first fix missiles as a whole before we get stuck with an other hull that is either worthless or overpowered.
