Player Features and Ideas Discussion

well, you were right -- they are crap ideas.

Mini Carrier -- sounds more like you're looking for a logi boat than a "carrier". If you're looking for drone boats, then Domi, Myrmi, Vexor, Trisan (for gallente anyway, IDK what the amarrian lineup is).

The rest -- not thought out enough at all -- you need to give details beyond "well, I think it would be cool if..."

Hey guis!

I really like the idea bout introducing pirate faction bc and more T2 bc. its ofc up to ccp to find a suiteable role for those ships. Just as example it would be great to have a cloaky pirate faction SOE BC as on-side support for hotdrops (like a mini combat blops).

Concerning mini carriers - there are already enough sub-capital drone boats

EDIT: i think its also a good idea to introduce pirate faction carriers in order to provide more expensive targets for hotdrop ops. the selling point of pirate faction carriers for rich nullbears could be good bonuses on drone dmg and tracking or so

Heh, first I thought ... nah, not going to read it, then, hey, looks like rhymes and poetry, better read it, well ...

Like the others, I am really not sure what you want, your references are all over the place. Your definition of 'carrier' is not even clear, nor is any function or ingame relation. But in your favor, that gives the option to fill it with a good hearted and positive want of my own

The 'carrier' (rather then just a 'drone boat'), is in need of a feeling of awe, something I very well understand and led to a lot of frustration when looking at my baby the Rattlesnake (don't start a discussion about its PvP balance/application now).
I understand the need to take drone control down from 10 to max 5 for subcaps, but I wish we could balance this out somehow. Instead of all max 5, we could go all max 2 - with few exceptions of 5 and 10 (with changed boni) for the 'real' drone boats and drone carriers. The 'super' drone concept could ease the way in this regard and help balance out the total number of drones used towards the few ships that will be able to fleet more.
This also would work in conjunction with the Orca suggestion of being able to fleet 10-20 mining drones (T2 Orca, currently as +300% yield suggested)

But besides this roughly drawn out and personal dream of mine, I always remind people that new ships are only going to be developed if they fill a certain niche, fit a specific role that is wanted and are in conjuction with the current lore. But I hope with the recent exultation of drones to be a fully armed and operational weapon systemwe might one day get our Subcap 'Carriers'

to me a carrier is a drone boat with no acess to guns
with either less highs slots or bonus to rep.

i know that there are many drone boats, but to me none really fell like a mini-carrier, a ship that doesnt need guns to apply its max dps.

an idea and comparison would be a new t2 bs like the maurader is a mini dread maybe a new ship with a mini triage.

Ishtar...
