Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I like the idea of T2 logi frigs being E-defense ships, particularly SeBo and ECCM, so perhaps get a (small - say 5%/level) bonus to strength, but a decent bonus to cap usage, so that these modules take (for a frig, anyway) only a tiny fraction of the total ship's cap...
perhaps only have the bonus affect the use of SeBo and ECCM on frigate/destroyer class ships (possibly including, possibly excluding non-remote SeBo and ECCM)

as for what's the point of these - to support frigate roams with T2 logi, preventing e-war use being overpowering against them (much harder for a falcon/rook to jam 6 frigs at once than 6 cruisers at once, for instance, if one of these is in the gang)

regarding balance, and to stop them being a match rep-wise for T1 logi cruisers...... give them a *slighly* longer range bonus, say....... 700% - so reps go out to 40km-ish (a T1 logi frig puts them out to 28.8km, a T1 logi cruiser puts them out to 66km)
and perhaps give them 6 high slots, and a corresponding role bonus to RR cap use, this should push their rep amount up to 284 hp/s (armour) or 268 hp/s (shield), as opposed to 213/356 hp/s (from exequror/augoror) or 201/481 (from scythe/osprey)

hmmm, perhaps only 4 highslots (a 5th on the bantam/inquisitor variant, if they get a bonus to cap transfer too)

(those numbers should be correct for the 'without skills' character using T2 modules on EFT as of current build [2015/02/16])

sooo, something like:

Inquisitor T2 variant:
slots: 5H/2M/5L (not too many? maybe remove a low slot....)
hardpoints: 2T/0L
rigs slots: 2

ship bonuses:
amarr frigate:
10% to RAR rep amount/level
10% reduction in RAR cap use/level

Logistics frigate:
15% reduction in cap Xfer activation cost/level
10% bonus to cap Xfer transfer amount/level (these two might be slightly skewed, I'm really not too sure about them anyway)

role bonuses:
700% bonus to remote armour repair and cap Xfer range
30% reduction in RAR cap use

Bantam T2 variant
slots: 5H/5M/2L (if too many slots, remove a mid)
hardpoints: 0T/2L
rigs slots: 2

ship bonuses:
as above, just swap RAR, for RSR/shield Xfer, and amarr for caldari

Navitas T2 variant
Slots: 4H/4M/4L
hardpoints: 2T/0L
rig slots: 2

ship bonuses
gallente frigate:
10% to RAR rep amount/level
10% reduction in RAR cap use/level

Logistics frigate:
5% bonus to level to rECCM and rSeBo strength
10% increase to optimal range to rECCM and rSeBo/level

role bonuses:
700% bonus to remote armour repair
30% reduction in RAR cap use
75% reduction to rECCM and rSeBo cap use

Burst T2 variant
slots: 4H/5M/3L
hardpoints: 2T/0L
rig slots: 2

ship bonuses:
as above, just swap RAR, for RSR/shield Xfer, and gallente for minmatar

....

something like that, anyway

AFs, I'd presume something like Harpy fleets
