I am calling it here first! The 6 new ships for the summer will include 4 pirate destroyers and specialized Ore ships. Let the speculation begin..

Isn't every ORE ship specialized?

Destroyers are underwhelming, considering their flimsiness.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Tech 1 Destroyers that can use medium weapons, and tech 2 destroyers than can use command links would be nice.

T2 destroyers "heavy bombers". More than one bomb launcher or "heavy bomb launcher" also, no cloak. P

Maybe ewar immune heavy interceptors for killing dem falcons. By immune I mean to ECM and dampening. Also t2 Dessie hulls.
Has small sig, +1 warp strength and resistance to webs. T2 web would only slow it by 30%.

Ore "overwatch" mining battleship with bite. Kinda like a battle orca. Has "mining barges in fleet get +1 warp core strength and 10% shield bonus" can fit full flight of sentries Make those 0.5 miners feel all warm and fuzzy.

"Battering ram" t2 bs. (Unused bs hull) gets huge bonus to ECM burst ( probably a specialized ECM burst)or a dampening burst (66% scan res reduction 30 secs) target paint burst (keeps everything in the area painted 100% sig bonus for 1 min) or tracking disrupt burst (50%weapon range reduction 25% tracking reduc,)45 seconds. and bonus to cyno cycle time. A Hyperion hull would keep the armor rep bonuses but the rest of it would be weakened. Has jump drive and is used to greatly disrupt the enemy force before dropping the rest of the fleet. New burst have 30-50k range and can only be fitted on these.

This turned more into spitballing ideas than speculation, but whatever.

Here's your hint:

The ships each fall into one of three categories.

One category will be fairly low impact for most players but still represent cool addition(s) to the game that I think many players will enjoy seeing.
One category fill a void that we've wanted to cover for quite a while.
One category provides more advanced version(s) of one of the most popular ships classes in EVE.

the last point sounds like a T2 battlecruiser/

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Thank you Fozzie! this is my first post which Dev respond to... Glorious!

Anyway, based on the hints - I believe Summer expansion will include Rookie Pirate ships and T2 Venture.

That implies BCs are popular anymore. That, and there are already T2 BCs.
