New Ship Repping RED Fire Engine With Flashing Lights.

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.

Needs a Cap bonus for structure reps and then you could roll something like 3 rr in the highes, 4 self reps in the mid Lol and then a DC2+ 3 Bulkheads in the lows and your flavour of rigs.

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.

Needs to be Fed Navy ship, a variant of the Comet. Also Comet needs more blue stripes and flashing red and blue lights.

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.

Not a forum alt.

Too bad we can't do the EVE version of a Kickstarter, or similar.

I would like one of these boats, and I think it is an after fight resource as well.

duly supported - this is an 'after the fight' ship - so should be able to use cov-ops cloak, would make a great small -gang scout!
I agree, this ship should be about fitting oversized, RHR's that rep at the standard rate, not 'normal' size repping faster, should maybe get a penalty on damage, to prevent people using this as a weapon..... especially with a drone bay like that...... actually, give it 125m3 bandwidth, and a 75% reduction in drone damage, or the inability to field offensive drones
and if you get it on a kill-mail, CCP gifts you the item 'comedy killmail' providing an eternal link to the km it's on.

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

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.
Lol

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

This thread made me realize how much I want to fly a ship with bright flashing lights on it. Now I'm going to be sad until I get one. :(

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

Ha Ha ... Nice, I would support that too.

This could become annoying though .... think a few of these on jita undock.

Could the siren be a module ? (this would allow different siren/modules)

or could the siren sound only when going to and from warp. ( like the turrets conceal and deploy when going to and from warp)

I like the idea of comedy killmails, but I have no idea how to suggest it.

it should make ships structurally safe, but be quiet weak.

not sure I agree with the drone reduction, but I see what you mean.

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

I followed up on this, even found an enchanting woop woop video.

I appreciate having this pointed out to me, I truly missed my old comet's appearance.

Big smile
