What hole or role would these hulls fill? Just having more hulls for the sake of having more hulls is a pretty poor use of CCP's resources.

Don't get me wrong, I would *love* a T2 Rokh hull, but I'm not seeing a niche it needs to fill at the moment. At least one that would be useful and not horribly OP.



I havent seen any ships that get a bonus to hull tanking so theres a great start ShockedBig smile

That would be because this is both completely worthless and thematically inappropriate. Hull is the squishy bits on the inside of your ship, not something any sane designer would design a ship to tank with intentionally.

try all the ships that simply have high base hull and a good deal of lows.


you do know a ship doesn't need to have a per level or role bonus to something to be good at it

How about most Gallente ships, by virtue of their HP distribution? Have we forgotten the Hecate?

Hull is supposed to be different than armor and shield - each type of tanking is supposed to have its own advantages and disadvantages. You get a ton of eHP for comparatively little fitting cost with hull tanking. If they made active hull tanking an actual thing, it would seriously blur the lines - it is good to currently have variety.

I agree with most of what is being said. There is a huge depth and spread of ships in the game, and that is part of what makes EvE fun. However, we ill need more until the ships we have are balanced. Look how tilted the zKill stats are for ship usage. The Sabre is probably beating all three other dictors by miles. The Phoenix is absolutely horrid. T3Ds and cruisers are everywhere but battleships are increasingly just an overweight, clunky sub-caps. Caracal Navy issue, unlike the rest of the navy issue line, is also borderline unusable. I could go on and on and on.

Variety is good. Useless variety is not.
