More Sansha ships! We currently only have a Frigate, Cruiser, Battleship and Carrier.

As an RPer in The Nation I want to fly pure Sansha class ships but with only 4 to choose from... Ugh

Your forgetting the special paint job catalysts.

Anyways, Shuttles, Titans are less numerous than destroyers.

Tech 3 pod with bonus to armor, speed and 50% bonus to capital laser.

Speaking of destroyers - do any of you older vets know why the Corax was designed to look like a submarine? Is there some story behind that? Maybe not, just curious.

My guess would be making joke of the submarine physics of the game. But it is only a guess.

the chimera was designed after a water freighter, corax being inspired by a submarine isn't that far-fetched

i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling.

Well yeah....not saying it doesn't fit, but after seeing all the exotic ships designs and then BOOM a twentieth century-ish looking submarine....well...it's different. I actually like it. A corp mate of mine hates them; says they're squishy.

Shuttles with a single high slot and cap for a small weapon. I would pay to watch shuttle duels.

The power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can't kill then you are always subject to those who can, and nothing and no one will ever save you.

Well... Tech 2 version could have special feature: Whenever it attacks industrials or freighters, you get to hear this.

How about a T2 cruiser that doesn't have a T1 counterpart... or a T3 with a fixed design?

A capital platform for each race that brings bonus' (like boosts) for each specific race.

Or a t2 capital that can bring (perhaps captured somehow?) WH effects to k-space, only on grid naturally.

Next big goal is adding more life to the NPC"s races by adding more ship class from each NPC? Crap we have a ton of 4 races why can't we get more from other races and add them to the already list?

I'd rather devs handle it. They've been been designing the game for 10+ years, and as a whole the playerbase is pretty ******** in these matters.

Maybe they can let us vote on a preset list of names or something, but seriously, CCP will handle everything else better than we will.
