Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Like I said above, I've been thinking the same thing in the last couple weeks:

Size-wise, let's say between a destroyer and a light-cruiser, with base signature radius between same, as fast as...well, more towards the destroyer- than the cruiser-chassis, plus T II resist profile and enough mid/low slots to give it a real, but still "light" tank, with enough slots andf fitting-capacity--with properly trained support-skills of course!--for at least 1-2 damage mods as well.

Kinda like a Tier-3 BC in principle, but I would argue that it needs at least some designed-in survivability. (not Drake/Nighthawk-level durability, but not total wet-paper-aeroplane like the frigate SBs are, either.)

And then I think:

7 hi slots for all of them: 4x "compact Citadel torpedo launchers (as what FBs have)," CovCloak, and 2 standard bomb-launchers, or 1 "capital bomb" launcher + 1 utility.

Yes, we need the CovOps "armed (heavily-armed) exploration" ship--new thread for that one, maybe?

E: Whilst we're on the subject of exploring places where others don't want you to be, you might want to check out this thread for much more about it, especially why the Ishtar seems so great for it, despite its ultimate limitations. Why that thread hasn't been stickied, I couldn't begin to guess...
