So what is it about this new destroyer that makes it anything more than a glorified Caracal?
Its good to be [Gallente](http://dl.eve-files.com/media/1209/QEQlJ.jpg).

It uses missiles? Honestly, no idea as this is the first I've heard of it, but it wouldn't surprise me too much if it was 4 missile sporting Destroyers we got. Sort of hoping not, but it might be better than the initial impression that gives.

Wait.. no, probably not.

Maybe they're replacement models for the current Destroyers?

Either way, I hope they have some sort of transitional role beyond guns to missiles. A longer range Missile Destroyer might be nice, but I can only see that happening with them also having lower maneuverability and reduced speed when compared to standard Destroyers, along with a better stationary tank and buffer.

Maybe something akin to the tier 3 battlecruisers, ships capable of fitting medium weapons on a destroyer sized hull.

Than again this game has enough gank ships as it is...

Read the ship balancing blogs more.
"New destroyers: while the exact attributes are not ready for review so far we can explain their roles a bit more than in the previous blog. Main roles will focus on medium range damage projection through drones and missiles. Amarr and Gallente will most likely have fully bonused flights of light drones to play with while being supported by several turret slots. Caldari and Minmatar will boast high-slots fully loaded with missile launchers. Slot layout is expected to be 13 in total with overall speed reduced and signature radius increased compared to existing existing destroyer hulls. In all cases please remember this still is work in progress; a new “Features & Ideas” forum thread will be opened when more details are ready for public review."

Wooo Drake destroyer

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

Caldari needs to fire their ship designers. This whole asymmetric thing is grating my nerves. Please CCP, stop making asymmetric ships, they look hideous.

The new destroyer looks cool, so does the naga. Some of the older design are just ****, ok most of them.

Caldari ships are becoming symetrical, Minmatar ships are becoming shiny, next it will be Gallente ships with laser bonuses. P
Its good to be [Gallente](http://dl.eve-files.com/media/1209/QEQlJ.jpg).

I hope the new gallente dessy is easier on the eyes than the spidery abomination the catalyst is.

I need a module so I can cloak and then ping... one ping and one ping only

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

In an orgy of Saturday afternoon boredom, I'm trying to find out the exact version of Das Boot that he used for the music in the clip.
Anyone know (Soundhound/Shazam don't even recognise it Sad)

It's a damn cool looking ship btw, hoping he's found the other 3 and will post soon?



Definitely new version. Always manage to catch remixes of it, but never heard that one before.

Well, I've only seen them on youtube clips. Tried searching for Minmatar - destroyer etc. and couldn't find anything to link to.
I guess I'm stupid too Sad
