ok this is a half serious suggestion, but could be quite useful.

"Dennis"

Structure repping fire engine ship. A Picture Of A Dennis Fire Engine Is Here
Bright red with flashing red and blue lights.
Destroyer size ship.
Low Shield and Armor values. Any EHP it has is in structure. say 100,100,2000.
Fitting 3 high 4 mid and 4 lows. edit no turrets or missiles.
150 drone bay and 50 drone bandwidth

Roll bonus
99% reduction for cpu,powergrid and capacitor usage for structure repper and remote structure reppers
+2 warp protection.

Skill bonus
minmatar destroyer skill ... 20% more remote structure repair amount
gallante destroyer skill ... 40% more drone structure repair amount

Comedy ship if this gets on a killmail.


edit
"99% reduction for cpu,powergrid and cpu usage for structure repper and remote structure reppers" should have been
99% reduction for cpu,powergrid and capacitor usage for structure repper and remote structure reppers"
the cap useage for after battle structure repping shouldn't really be an issue.

edit
this ship is all about structure, it laughs at the need for armor repping, shield transfer and energy transmission.

Ship Vision
I envisioned this ship being used after a battle as well.
when the fleet returns to the home station/outpost, or it will travel to the fleet several jumps away, it will rep the ships that somehow made it through the battle and return home.

Also for simple incapped pos modules.

Its along time since I did any sov warfare, and so I am unsure if it would allow more low skill no cap piltos to help with repping sov structures. easing the grind.

Its a destroyer so it can get several jumps quite quickly with ok align and warp speed. its small so it wont last long in a fleet fight. its +2 warp strength is just to allow it a chance to go several jumps to the fleet.

There are not enough destroyer types in the game.

I dont see the need of +2 warp stabilization.

First, I would make this an ORE ship, as they deal in industry and repair/construction should be squarely in their ballpark. Second, it should probably be a cruiser.

Then you need to think of its designed role. If it is intended for combat repairs it would benefit from bonuses that make it resistant to ECM and Sensor Dampening and tanking, the point being to keep it on field and active as long as possible.

General use puts bonuses for repair cycle time, amount and/or capacitor use ahead of field resilience.

Another bonuses that would be useful is sensor resolution to enable fast and efficient target swapping, as well as being a boon to supporting drones, and ORE loves drones. Drone repair amount would also be appropriate as a general bonus. A unique bonus that allows remote structure repair to also repair damaged modules would be very thematic too.

As a general service vessel cap transfer makes a good fit-- sort of spare parts and gas mechanics truck. By that same token, Armor repair and Shield Transfer fitting bonuses would be good, allowing the capability but not the enhanced performance of true Logi boats.

Sadly this would actually be useful.
Obviously not in the fight but afterwards.

Though the hilarity of it.

Maybe it should be a gift/promotion. April fools day or anniversary gift.

Only if it comes with a siren.

Yes, a siren and flashy lights. And extra bonus would be if it could have special structure repair drones skinned to look like small white ambulances.

Kinda funny what we end up wanting in EVE, isn't it? Hey, ideas for more paint jobs they can sell us

Yes defo an after battle ship.

if only CCP would read this and act in time for april... he he... either way I would want a few of these.

I wish they would dump the camo, and bring back the black and white Comet.
