Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hello Peeps, I've gotten one of those ideas that's been bugging me constantly and won't go away. And when that happens it means it's time to put it on the forums so you forum warmongers can hack it to pieces. I'm not sure if it's a good idea or bad, but I do believe it's good enough to give CCP something to ponder about in the furture. My idea consists of a new breed of non-bastion Marauders that fills the void left open for each races, along with some T1 BS hulls that's been left rather secluded. These are just base ideas and not final so I'd appreciate IMPROVED feedback if possible.

Rather than spend time and effort adding four new Marauders it would be nice if something were done for the existing 50% of the class that are next to useless.

Specifically which classes are you referring to?

There is nothing wrong with giving players more options. Many players want a T2 versions of the Dominix, Rohk, Typhoon and a Amarr T2 Missile BS.

I was thinking of a T2 BS without Bastion, but if that is a NO then the Stats and Role bonus can be easily readjusted to include the Bastion module.

I clearly feel Caldari sign here, two out of four are Missile boats.

Why do we need another Domi? And Phoon?

If someone don't like Bastion i do recommend not to fit it and it's very simple. Like old school Maraduer.

The tier 3 BS are waiting for their T2 versions for a long time already please don't screw them up.

They are all too strong. I don't see any drawbacks on any of these. At a glance you're looking to create pwnmobiles.

Marauders are easy to jam unless they commit and push the bastion button. So they are powerful, but have drawbacks.

Good post and your point of view is understandable elita. And you are correct, I really do like the Marauders but I'm not to fond of Bastion and wanted another alternative. Was hoping to get a bite, but I guess not.

What kind of comedy/gimmick fit can we do with a double optimal bonus rail battleship?

the ones we have work perfectly well not using bastion

either they are marauders or they are not, no pseudo marauders.

and besides that, we dont need another marauder except perhaps a drone boat.
