New class ship or mod that has sqaud,wing or fleet wide tanking so this ship would receive some of the damage instead of the other squad members which are being shot. Something like %70- %80.

It's called getting someone to take bait as primary.

Those would be EWAR....Logistics...Command Ships...or HIC/DIC's.

Not Supporting.

PS: please stop treating this game like its WOW.

No, don't agree with this at all.

There currently exists the Logistics ships and by going down this route, you are making another class of ship defunct.

It would also be pretty annoying to call primary and it never dying as there one of these ships on the field.

Will also be the final nail in the coffin for sniping fleets. With this idea it will be a slugfest and the bigger fleet wins. Not really what CCP had in mind I don't think.

All very well for hi sec but I don't think you have considered this fully for low and null sec players.

Well then fix the alpha damage problem...don't introduce another ship to fit a role that already exists with about 5 other ships.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

So this ship just gets killed first then?
