Hey people, after seeing how Sisters got themselves ships, and now Mordu's legion did, I started to wonder who the next one could be?

What do you think?


CONCORD

I've always wanted a DED cruiser.

They do look pretty cool.

My hope is that CCP develop a Minmatar/Caldari pirate faction in the lore. This could easily be from an arm of the Thukker tribe, or something created to reflect a mix of tribes and megacorp escapees working outside of Empire politics.

Ishukone/Thukker dissidents could make sense?

relevant - 4th paragraph down

I don't think it would be as easy to add factions now, especially as CCP seems to be orientating the game lore with capsuleers more, rather than the Empires.


I think this is the point being made. The faction is simply the backdrop for ship designs that players will build and use, specifically requiring the mix of Minmatar/Caldari (faction) skills.

I think there are enough ships. Better to make them all usefull in their nic he. Many ships are barely used, becuase other ships overshadowed them in their role and make it better or cheaper. Look at all the large sized ships BS and BC many of them are useless, after warpspeed change they all have to gain something other to make it worth fly them again.

My opinion is real balance of existing ships, then you can introduce new ones, when there is need for them (niche).

I'm kinda sure this has been mentioned before, but what I'd like more is the addition of pirate battlecruisers.

For people new to Eve barging in this thread... Faction and Pirate are two terms applied in two seperate contexts.

Faction and Pirate are class designations in a standard MMO fashion (your "blues" and "purples" respectively). You also have Deadspace, Storyline and Officer which are even more rare.

Faction and Pirate are lore designations tied to mechanics. Each race is a Faction made up of NPC Coporations, and Pirates combine two Factions to make unique ship designs. That doesn't mean their hulls are always unique, but their properties are.

Sisters of Eve provides Pirate ships in the first sense, but is a corporation in a Faction in the second.

Eve is really a game that throws all this stuff in a big kettle, stirs up some lore, and comes up with unexpected results. There are no LVL5 Adventurous Vambraces of Strength in this game, things aren't designed around a static patterns of pre- and suffixes to designate predefined properties or levels of performance.

But EoM features as rats in certain missions. Pretty sure they have their own corp. They definitely have their own flag/icon in agent briefings.

Nope.

Don't think they will force developing some new faction just so someone can have his Minmatar/Caldari mix.

I'd like to see the Thukker tribe get a line of faction ships to go along with the T2's they already have. Make the frigate a stealth bomber, give the cruiser dscan immunity, and the battleship......well, I don't know what to do with the battleship. Make em Minmatar/Caldari with Minnie levels giving a bonus to sub-warp speed and Cal levels giving a rate of fire bonus.

Or something.

heh, last time someone from CCP commented on EoM ships they basically said that requires doing work, so we aren't going to put them in game. Seems like CCP is actually doing work now so EoM has a chance of making it in game finally Big smile

For reasons I too would love Equilibrium of Mankind Ships , also a Caldari/Minmatar faction would be great too.

But mostly EoM ones, since amarrian hulls bonused for Hybryd guns is sexy.

People will always complain about ships being overused/underused. But more ships to choose from is awesome.

At this stage I would love Interbus Passenger Freighters with new models and bonuses to "blockade running" ... but yeah, EOM please Big smile

Interesting ideas indeed!
Now that I know about EoM, it really does sound interesting.

I saw people say that Thukker already make t2, but that doesn't mean they couldn't also develop their own ships. No rules here!
Caldari-minmatar would be really interesting.
Or.. Seekers coming back and starting a galactic war with Jovians!!! And we get **** tons of new ships lol
