At some point they should release a Jove ship for players. The only catch is its only ever released once. So for example.

Next month CCP realease a pretty powerfull Jove ship (something like a frigate with cruiser guns or summit stupid like that) but only people online at 14:05 server time get one.

"OH NOOOO'S that ship will pwn we does not want this"

ahhh but the beuty is...because its only ever been released once it will be so rare that no one would dare use it in battle for fear of losing the only availible jove ship.

Don't like jove ships have 8-8-8 and 99% resists natural? and built in warp core stab 10? recharge over a 100 shields and armor a second? and enough powergrid/cpu to fit a titan super weapon?

Make better use of the ships that exist in game. Command ships, Ewar frigates, 3/4 of the T1 hulls, and several of the HACs could all stand to be retooled to make them more viable in PVP. I want fleet combat to look like the trailers, not a blob of Drakes.

I have allways wanted to see long range strike craft / bombardment. Either an area of effect shrapnel type cannon or laser, mabye each race has its specifics.
Something where you have a quite slow and heavy gunboat that has range so far as it can be off grid. For example say the range is 1000km (Could be more or less just a number)
The idea is once a battle commences, the seige cannon warps to an offgrid spot say 500-1000k off and then has to enter a deployed mode. In this mode it can use its strike cannons and do tremendous range and volley damage but the expense is its highly immobile when seiged up.(Subcap something inbetween a BS and a Dread.)
Obviously the ship is off grid so it would need targeting coordinates from a ship that is currently on grid. I dont know if this would be like a laser targeting module or something.
Very rough idea, but I would just like to experiment with offgrid tactics.


Just an idea i had after playing starcraft 2 and the only Colony Wars games if anyone ever played those.

Might be a horrible idea I dont know lol

Just add proper roles to the existing ship classes and most players will be happy.

Here's an idea. Perhaps we should be asking that CCP focus on fixing all the broken ships in the game, rather than add whole new classes of broken or overbuffed ships....Oops

To those saying T3 battleships... can you say overpowered?

Id love T3 frigs too Twisted But with the proteus already able to match some battleships in DPS and outtank even a fleet Abaddon, could you imagine the T3 version of strategic crusiers? The WH corps/alliances, rich corps, and PL would be UNSTOPPABLE.

T3 frigates though... thats something i would love to fly Lol

Customised ships available from NPC corps if you have the LP and sufficient standing with that NPC corp. Slightly modded by that corp for its own use; available to pilots who have earned their trust blah blah. Could have a better resist or two; or slightly faster with better acceleration; or better tracking etc. Collectable; flyable; destroyable.

For example:
I.S. Nighthawk: a Nighthawk modified by the Caldari corp Internal Security
R.S.S. Hurricane: a Hurricane modifed by Minmatar corp Republic Security Services
F.C. Catalyst: a Federation Customs modified Catalyst

AND SO ON.

I would like to see them double the art assets for every ship in the game. This would give people more choice when selecting the look of their ships, beyond function. Now it can be for strictly aesthetic reasons as well.

Here's another idea: how about we broaden the ship offerings allowing for more combat options so that there's so much asymmetry out there people complaining about 2% +/- here or there are eclipsed by actual tactics, intel, and creative thinking and not repetitive canned fits. Stop naysaying. You're always saying nay. Let everyone have their fun. Big smile

will state it again tech 1 and some forgotten ships is getting a buff pass.


Hasn't happened yet has it?
And your not even looking at the big picture. CCP has a tendency to break more stuff than they fix when they do a "buffing pass".

Look at what they did to Super Carriers.
For years they were almost a fable, they were so dangerous to deploy noone even wanted to admit they had one. Then they buffed them, made them the most popular ship in the game. 100's were being built monthly, everyone was spending thier Isk on them.
Then everyone that couldn't deploy 100 Supers started crying it wasn't fair.
CCP's answer? Nerf them even worse than they were originally....Roll

Your assumption that a promised T1 buff won't totally hose the game is premature.....Cool

Uhm once upon a time nobody had such ships becuase they didnt have the numbers to build them. Profiliation of people a the birth of mega allainces saw this ships get made pertty quickly.

If you read the minutes these are all getting buffed and your precious drake getting nerfed/rebal.

I remember a time when people said "Drake PVP? hahaha...." and that was after the intial nerf.


Another example of Players doing one thing, CCP doing the exact opposite.
Players make fleets to tank, CCP nerf tank, barf out more DPS glass canons.

Might as well Nerf Abaddon tank in the sumer expack too, CCP. Save having to do it later. Domi tank too. Damnation is still a powerfull tank. Knock that down to 2 volley.

Serious. We want tank. Stop nerfing them, give us a ship designed to tank FFS

Defeats the bottom line that ships die in eve.
