Any colossus that will be formed from a combo like this will **** face any other ship out there. We talking about insane and applicable dps plus OMFG shield buffer coulped with high speed tthat all tallies to OWNAGE in my book.

If the combo is done properly, which I doubt, we should see a new line of FOTM ships that will take over the long/painstaking and probably enjoyable reign of angel cartel ships.

I rest my case.

I want a pirate faction ship that uses Caldari ships with Projectile bonuses!?!?!


wouldn't that just be a slow minmatar ship with crap PG, weak cap, and less dronebay?

so it only makes sense that the tornado will be the minnie caldari pirate faction bs... give it shield resists damage per level and optimal range... make them high ehp high alpha beasts...


Shield resist and armor resist bonuses are already available on the loki depending on choice of subsystems. Assuming the Tornado would be a T3 BS it would likely have the same defensive subsystems.

They would need to create new pirate factions to have gallente/amarr and minmatar/caldari faction boats. The existing factions already combine the pros of each faction somewhat.

Angels have the speed, agility and projectile weapons of minmatar with a larger dronebay that is closer in size to a gallente ship.

Sansha combine lasers with shield tanking

Gurista are gallente style droneboats with monster passive shield tanks and missiles.

Blood Raider ships combine lasers and armor tanking of amarr with the extra highslot utility and bonused webs of minmatar ships.

Serpentis ships are like gallente gunships on steroids combined with bonused webs (though a different type of web bonus than you see on minmatar recons)

A minmatar/caldari mix wouldn't make much sense, minmatar already share many similarities with caldari with many of their ships favoring a shield tank and having some viable missile fits with certain ships.

gallente/amarr mix would pretty much resemble existing ships, some amarr ships already have good size drone bays and most gallente ships are already armor tanked. Gallente and amarr are just to similar to each other.

Not to mention this is not the first time more variations of pirate ships have been requested. CCP's answers have always been the same, they have used up all the major pirate factions. If they want to make another lineup of pirate ships, even from one of the existing minor pirates, they will have to make a whole new content to give said pirate faction a dedicated region that people can mission for, spread them out among belts from hisec to nullsec, spawn exploration sites with them inside, and so on. Not to mention the remaining minor factions are not really hybrid between races, Thukker is pretty much 100% Minmatar for example, as does Mordu and Caldari. EoM is probably smaller than all the other minor factions, and therefore if they are to be given a pirate ship line, CCP would have to work the most content up to make them a viable pirate ship-bearing faction.

The Legion ticks all the boxes. Own 0.0 space, mix of Intaki and Caldari. Shield tanked, damage bonused and fast blasterships
are not existing in eve atm.

But, they are Gallente/Caldari unless you contruct some story about Minmatar aid in designing the ships or something...
