Not necessarily a T2 ship but something with a bonus to Tracking Links(range and/or tracking), Remote Sensor Boosters and ECCM.

Oneiros and scimitar both get bonuses to tracking links.
I don't know of any ships that get bonuses to RSB, but it's an interesting idea. Remote ECCM could be tied in with that as well (if that's what you meant, I don't see there being any reason to give a ship a bonus to ECCM when you can just directly boost sensor strength instead).

Well, before introducing new tech2 ships we should ideally fix the existing hulls. By that we mainly mean Black Ops, Electronic Attack Ships, Command Ships, Heavy Assault Ships, but the list goes on.

Command Ships are on our direct focus for this year, while this won't add new ships by itself, this change will most likely put obsolete hulls back into the light. Want to use the Eos as an advanced Drone boat? Or the Damnation as a missile spammer? You can.

We do recognize we need more goals for our veterans however, so we do have plans for new tech2 hulls indeed. Exactly how and when is a bit too soon for us to say, but this is definitely being considered.

Hope that is a good tease Twisted


how about using the correct ships for the T2 variant i.e. Eos should use myrmidon hull... nighthawk should use drake etc.

'Tech3 ships need to be put down, like a rabid dog drooling everywhere in the house, they are out of line' CCP Ytterbium Nerf missile range into place where is the TD missile change?  ..projectiles should use capacitor. ABC's should be T2 HABC and nerf web strength its still too high

No, forcing gang links to be on-grid only is a bad idea.


I disagree. Risk vs reward man.

Also, T2 capsules. I want a khanid pod.

Yes. Off grid gang links are dumb. You might as well have POS modules that give you link bonuses anywhere in constellation.

...and yes. Dread Guristas pod for me kthx!

TechII version of a Myrmidon would be lovely please...something like a Heavy Assault ship role but in BC hull.


Traits
Battlecruisers skill bonus per level:
10% bonus to drone hitpoints and damage dealt by drones. And 7.5% bonus to armor repair amount. as usual per the Myrm hull.
+give it a full 125 Mbit/sec drone bandwidth so it can field a full flight of heavies or sentries.
+give a boost to armor resist ammounts comparable to what deimos and ishtar have/HAC role.

Could care less if it has command ship bonuses or link capability frankly, but if necc, replace the Eos hull with the Myrmidon hull if it is some violation of the game to have a BC that is NOT command link capable. Not sure why the brutix hull was used for the drone command ship varient in the first place, Myrm hull is the obvious choice for that role.

Cause the Eos was around long before there was a Myrm in the game.
