Hi All,

I would like to propose that the bowhead have its own capital wreck created like all the other freighters/capitals in the game.

After killing nearly 1000 freighters to kill something special like that and receive a normal frigate type wreck, it was quite disappointing and to have it happen twice on the same day.... SadSadSad

Does the Bowhead really not have a custom wreck?

it was brought out after the custom capital wrecks were done - but apparently the work was in the process, so it should be a day or two's work at most to create a bow-head wreck....

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

I'm a little disappointed by that.

It would really make it stand out that any assembled ships inside of it that were destroyed show up as apart of the Bowhead wreck model.

Probably more effort than it's worth.

+1 to a custom wreck though.

I think that was reference to scattering the destroyed contents about the wreck. If that were to be done I would fill a bowhead with shuttles just to see that wreck.

Don't worry, they would all drop so you wouldn't see any of them Lol

I like your idea, but your request for no criticism sours it for me. Please edit it and grow up.

This was actually because people tend to get threads from code members locked, by trolling and flaming in the comments.

So Its not about growing up, its about keeping the thread open to hopefully get some change.

Fair enough, the ambiguous wording is problematic though. I only just saw that you're from CODE. I'm an admirer actually.

Broken wreck does make sense, making guesstimates on how long it will take an art team to do it properly, does not.

Yes I support the idea, just not gonna demand it happen right NOW

The tools to make capital wrecks are there. (Second halve of Dev Blog)
Therefore I have taken the liberty of pointing out this thread to CCP. If and/or when a reaction can be expected I unfortunately can not say.

Thats a title I would keep the those who ask for it, were I you. It does tend to be divisive.

And, on topic, total +1 for a couple of bowhead wrecks, especially with caverous interiors full of assorted bits of former contents.
