Gallente/Amarr Pirate Faction Battleship

After searching for a Pirate Faction Battleship to train for, I noticed that the only faction pair missing from the ships was Amarr/Gallente. All of the other factions have ships paired with them (i.e. Gallent/Minmatar, Amarr/Caldari, etc.). I am origionally Gallente and was trying to figure out which faction I would side train. Amarr seemed appropriate due to the fact that Gallente and Amarr are predominantly armor tanking factions.

So, the big question is... can/should there be an Amarr-Gallente Pirate Faction Battleship? Perhaps there could be bonuses to Energy Turrets and Drones, or Energy Turrets and Armor. I feel it's a bit unfair to not have a Gallente-Amarr Pirate Faction Battleship.

What are your thoughts?


Also, if there are existing threads on this matter, please let me know.

lol, it's funny that anyone would think to mix the ships of two races that are so diametrically opposed in every way.

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

Thats not the only one, there is not a Caldari/Minmatar mix. O god I want one, Shield resist bonus and auto cannon damage. +1 We need both.

yes please, gal & amarr fits are complementary, both armor and turret based.

The reason they don't is lorebased, seeing as how they oppose each other on every fundamental and ethical value I can't really see them coperating to build a ship of epic win.

I think you are mising the point.
The existing ship crossovers dont belong to the main empires they belong to pirate factions which have a history and background. These new ships would belong to new factions. For these new ships to come into being some new pirate or independent factions would need to come into being.

Like I mentioned in the New Ships thread, emergent pirate factions or "skunk works" defected engineers collaborations would be pretty cool.

Ammatars being infiltrated by a minitar agent, and selling information to gall space would work nicely .
both lore wise and would make a decent multi part ingame story.

More ships in general, including pirate factions is one of the things that came ouf the crowsurfing initiatieve by the CSm/CCP

On a sidenote: There are no Mordus Legion ships and some ships that are "outthere" like the Ixion and others.

I think the Ixion and it brothers and sister linked in the post could be used for one of the mission races combination.
Amarr/Gallente for instance.

More ships is good is is one of the conclusions of the crowdsuring intiative.

Ixion could be one of the gallente/amarr hybrids

Actually all the ships linked in this thread of mine of the old forums could be used to make interesting combinations.

BTW: Mordus legion has no ships offered as of yet.

/sigh

Look up the Ixion it could be a nice gallente/amarr boat

other ships are cool and have been asked by people on the crowdsourcing

There are other ships in the game that are not used but still assets in missions, like the Ixion

I dearly hope this post at least works.

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.
