:Edit: Updated on May 13th thanks to your feedback :edit:

Another small change in our Summer 2014 release that we're ready to collect feedback on:

We're planning on adding a series of Hull HP rigs, known as Transverse Bulkheads. These rigs will use the Armor Rigging skill, with a penalty to cargo capacity. They will be available in all sizes.
The T1 rigs would increase hull hitpoints by 20%, at the cost of 50 calibration.
The T2 rigs would increase hull hitpoints by 25%, at the cost of 75 calibration.

We don't expect these to replace trimarks and CDFEs for most players, but having the option should be interesting in several cases.

We are also going to swap the speed penalty on all reinforced bulkhead modules to an equal percentage cargo capacity penalty. The agility penalty will remain intact at this time.

Let us know what you think!

Now all we need are rig slots for freighters (hint, hint)...

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Fozzie i would really like to see an improvement on the Hull Repers thoo cause they are not even to close to been effective.

and who would use them?
hull tanking as a whole is something that needs work if you expect people to hull tank anything

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

I might put some on my orca alongside the DCU and bulkhead in the lows, but I can't think of any other situations where I'd ever use them.

Hull rigs on orcas, with DC and Bulkhead. Yeah, not looking forward to trying to pop those.

This, unless you do something with the repair modules.

A neat gimmick, it would be well accompanied by hull reppers raised slightly above their current 'worthless' threshold.

Could you speed up Hull Repairer cycle too?

Can we fit them on freighters?

Looking forward to slapping three of these puppies on a rorqual and wrecking some fools.

Not even kidding, the drone bonus on a rorqual is insane and they have most of their EHP in hull.

\o/!!! It's a start.

Please consider something other than speed penalty like you did with armor repper rigs. Same reasoning as well. Gallente hulls (the ships that benefit most) don't do well with speed penalties. Please move it to cargo space.


If you're putting these rigs on Dreads, then speed penalty is irrelevant.

actually no: battle rorquals

also those stats are stupid and if you're going to add those rigs then at least have the common sense to put them in line with existing rig stat bonuses for starters

i missed it in the original post first time i read it; it uses armor rigging skills and has the same penalty (speed).
