Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Now before i run headfirst into a hail of bullets and laser fire from 500KM away predominantly coming from forum "l337s" i would like to preface this post with the fact that this is my first forum post and yes i know that this topic has been kicked to death almost as much as Nintendo have the Mario franchise but i just wanted to throw my own pebble into the ocean.

CCP have made a number of steps concerning the balance and general application of pirate ships in eve actually adding ships from the Sisters Of Eve faction as the long awaited Amarr and Gallente hybrid that players were starving for but despite the new pirate ships being introduced in kronos there is still one gap in the "grid" of factions that affects my future playstyle somewhat along with undoubtedly a number of other players and that is a combo of both the Minmatar and Caldari factions in a set of pirate ships.

In this post I'm not going to be presumptuous nor arrogant enough to say what these ships should be or should do it is. Particularly i want to Point this matter out to anyone actually looking to train both Minmatar vessels as well as Caldari .

Ultimately what i am asking is "CCP is this going to happen?" and if so" can we get a rough ETA please?"

Further contribution to this topic is appreciated.

You may wish to check your facts there mate no variation of the typhoon nor the typhoon itself actually connects both Minmatar and Caldari other than being missile centric which is also a feature of other minmatar ships and lets not forget that the Typhoon is an armour boat traditionaly.

Typhoon Fleet Issue:
Armor tank and projectile turrets from Minmatar side and missiles from Caldari side. It even has bonus for both missiles and projectile turrets. I'm not sure where I went wrong.

It would help if you could share what a hybrid between Caldari and Minmatar should be like. Projectile with ECM (for example)?

In the lore Minmatar traded with the caldari for shield and missile technology with caldari hence all minmatar missile ships


That said yes a minmatar/caldari pirate faction would be cool.

I'm well aware that ships with mixed racial skills exist My question after the sentence you quoted was what would those racial skill boost? They have to boost something from each race which is a defining characteristic of that race. That's why I asked for clarification about how should those mixed ships look like (bonuses wise).

Here be trolls op, you might be better served posting this in "features and ideas", you might be worse, kinda hard to tell as there's trolls there too.

Edit:....how the hell did I get here!

Sure.

Now tell me which NPC faction is going to fly these ships. Every other set of pirate ships has a legitimate background, and the background came first.

A ship that combines the speed of a Vagabond with the EWar of a Falcon. Basically, the most annoying cruiser ever conceived.

Man that would be bad ass

I like the idea of adding a Minmitar/Caldari pirate faction but I would much prefer CCP spent time developing new T1/T2 ships and hulls to fit new roles expanding and changing the meta game. In my 18 months playing, I haven't seen a single new T1/T2 non-pirate hull (excluding the prospect and special edition ships).

Expensive pirate ships do very little to change gameplay, as they are hardly ever seen in PVP.

Maybe T2 frigate logistics? A new BC class without the focus on leadership? A T3 battleship?

Before you post ragey replies that last one was a joke.

Just my 2c
