Player Features and Ideas Discussion

CCP made a great job on the Sentinel.

Now it is time to work on the true difficult problem: Caldari Ships.

Osprey, Blackbird, Condor, Moa, Bantam, Griffin need special attention.
Even the Caracal, the Cormorant, the Drake or the Ferox could be better.

So go on guys we are ready to see your awesome work.

Don't you dare touch my Crow, Cormorant, Drake, or Ferox. I love them to pieces for how Caldari, grey, blue, and blinkie they are.

gotta admit - that looks hella cool!

Tbh, I think that caldari t2 ewar boats should get a bonus to target painters, like the minmatar do. Other than that, the only thing I'd really like to see upped would be across the board CPU buffs (esp. on hookbill) and a moa remodel. Because dear god...the moa looks disgusting.

I would like to see an 8th gun slot on the ferox, if only for symmetry purposes. I love the look of that ship. 8th launcher on the Corax (+1 slot for ALL dessies too, mind you), corm drops extra range bonus for damage, but goes down to a 7/5/2 slot loadout. Condor could do with dropping a high for a lowslot, kessie could use extra fitting space.

Chimera needs some love; extra cap regen would be nice. Lowslot cap mods that don't nerf shield rep (and aren'd power diags). Would also be nice of them to upgrade citadel missiles a bit to have them actually hit things; possibly getting rid of the tracking penalties for siege, possibly upping explosion velocity a bit.

A Ballistic Enhancer module like a Tracking enhancer would be absolutely wonderful; it would give equivilant bonuses of range, speed, and explosion velocity to improve missile performance. I could see it being used on ships like the crow or drake to great effect.

Other than that, that condor concept model that was linked is very pretty. :3

Im pretty much used to all the Caldari ships already. No need to go around changing them, if anything there should be minor changes only on t1 ships.

The only complaint I have is that t2 counterparts look identical in most cases with bombers being an exception. Some others like assault frigates may have very very minor differences. That said, I would love to see new t2 versions. That crow/raptor model is what I mean, its cool and yet retains some of the original condor.

Have Drake, Ferox, Rokh, any Caldari combat Capital?

Drake was already touched up by art department.

sadly i think ccp's ego is to big to take a player made model even tho it is clearly better than what the current is

With the exception of the Talos, these are awesome.
+1 AGREE with an overhaul to Caldari hulls. And while we're at it, ditch the icky orange-beige and beige-gold T2 color schemes.

Perharps a CCP member could tell us if there is a project to remake the look of these ships?
