Ships & Modules

frigates have them, cruisers have them (in fact, cruisers have two including T3)... are the T3 destroyers technically a replacement for assault destroyers?

I suppose marauders fill that role of assault battleships.

also, I'm predicting a broken combination in blighted guns and T3 destroyers.

speaking of, yeah, can marauders be renamed to heavy assault battleships, with the 'deep inside enemy territory' blurb removed from description?

also do away with the tractor beam bonus, since anyone with a MTU can do it, and the maraud... i mean, heavy assault battleship has enough cargo space to carry one

OP is just a troll looking for attention.

Battleship class "heavy assault " would be like the battlecruiser class that mounts large guns(Talos, Naga, Tornado, Oracle), with a bonus to reducing their fitting requirements. AKA XL guns on the Rohk, Hyperion, Maelstrom, and Abbadon...the only BS that doesn't have a T2 counter part and is only reskinned. It wouldn't be over powerd or have high tank, maybe some drones for defense but it fits a couple of XL short range guns only, bonus to tracking as BS speed without an AB would kill their hit probability, and the titan: role bonus that smaller ships take less damage . And would you look at that, you now have a fix for that massive fear of the pilot who only fly sub caps, but whine about getting dropped by a cap fleet....now that cap ships use gates more often....put bigger weapons in the hands of pilots with smaller ships (It would stiffen their spine, given them some comfort that they could hit back at least), nerf their ability to be over abused against smaller targets, and you have a massive gun with a warp engine strapped on you compare to the A-10 Warthog in RL in the world of EVE. It wouldn't replace a dread, whose greatest bonus is in the siege cycle, but it sure as hell would add something to the game to destroy big things. Would also like to see a cruiser or battlecruiser that fits a citadel torpedoes, acts like a bomber without a cloak, but very maneuverable....more destruction, less whining about caps proliferating lowsec and you can't fight back cause all you fly is a rifter or Aluminum Falcon cruiser while being unable to hit that 2 meter rodent sized thermal vent on it

XOXO Kaae.

Aqriue, heavy assault frigates, cruisers and T3s use the gun size appropriate to their ship class. Do you mean tier 3?

I might not fully understand what the OP thread is about but as far as I can tell you are correct.
Trolling is defined as a personal attack.
Attention seeking isn't against any forum rules that I am aware of.

Just dumb then, I guess.

So are we on the level of children now?

NO U!

Oh...

There would be a lot of overlap between a heavy destroyer and the existing assault frigates. AFs already get close to cruisers in some specs, do we really need something between them?

Apparently CCP disagrees, which is why we get tactical destroyers from December on forward. But then again, those new T3-destroyers are supposed to be powerful enough to compete with navy cruisers in some rare instances, so I guess they aren't really inbetween AFs and cruisers anymore.
