Ships & Modules

Yes it's a bit early to talk about this, but I wonder what sort of bonuses should the ship see. Purists and history lovers would argue missile systems over hybrids, but I think Claradi has already plenty of missile boats at disposal, and Caldari deserves more hybird platform love IMO.

When the time comes, Gallente can keep their drone bonuses for all I care like they have for ages already, but I think purism with Caldari's T3 would be a waste.

But I also feel this would be a perfect opportunity to break a certain formula; Yes all 4 factions have access to Drone capabilities, and out of the 4 factions, 3 have Missile ships. Perharps CCP should blow a hole unto this titanic instead let it be miscruised. Give Caldari their Hybrid bonuses in time, but make Gallente's T3 Destroyer a Missile Ship.

Forum troll detected. Both of them.

U think we need another railgu but smaller size?

How about some bonuses to shields in general and to capacitor size, to build on some Caldari strengths?

Caldari are efficient, so they could come up with better power grids/cpu grids, agility etc.

Maybe give them some drone bonuses, perhaps a new drone technology that allows it to use drones more efficiently, perhaps some kind of drone scripting that allows drones to have better tracking, better range, better speed as needed.

Since Caldari are the ultimate capitalists, perhaps tie that into it somehow, maybe some kind of remote freighter boost, planet colony boost, or damage bonuses against pos's and such.

**** CPU is a caldari trait apparently

lol

I think ccp would pick hybrids for it.

Wonder what they offer for propulsion mode, velocity bonus or sig bonus while mwd. Or maybe warp speed bonus.

In regard of defence how about shield hp bonus or shield booster efficiency and cap requirement.

It won't get missiles because the Corax and SB's are missile boats, what we really need is another Naga-like rail platform to free up the Gallente hull to fit blasters and drones. And if you specced missiles because they're the Caldari primary... well you're SOL.
Anyways....
I would love to see it as a potent missile boat but I honestly don't expect it to be. If I was guessing, range mode will give it rail optimal, defensive might give it a resistance boost or possibly a shield boost amount, and I'm not sure about speed exactly.

Edit: I think everyone might be pleasantly surprised if they decide to make it dual-weapon bonused. Both at the same time would not, and should not, be viable but this would make for interesting possibilities and would set a precedent for mayne having the Gallente the same way.

In staying with the naming theme, I hope it's called "The Chicken."

My Guess on the coming Caldari destroyer is:

Highs: 7 6x guns 1 utility
Meds : 5
Lows : 3

defence bonus would be
% boost ammount
and shield resist % ammount

speed mode:
velocity and inertia like the confessor. tho id hope for velocity and warp speed.

sharpshootermode:
would be the same as the svipul giving it a optimal bonus and tracking buff

As for the weaponsystem its going to be hybrid for sure as CCP dosent understand missiles
Would make the ship pretty well pointed to the mix of a hawk and the harpy and well ballanced vs the other t3 wile giving it some caldari uniqueness

However a ECM dessy from caldari would be unique especially if it had a nice bonus to ecm burst modules like a scorpion
swap one tank slot for 1 ecm burst slot with a bonus to range and jam strenght along with reduced cycle time and cap usage.
