Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I was flying the Tristan today and I noticed under the "Variations" tab that the Nemesis is listed, even though the ship model looks completely different. While the poor Tormentor has no variation listed.

I think there should be new stealth bomber models for the Hound and Manticore. Also, wouldn't it be nice if the Kestrel, Tormentor, Tristan and Breacher models could be used for a 2nd electronic attack frigate?

I'd like to propose that these 2nd electronic attack frigates could buff the under utitlized combat utility drones and the electronic warfare drones that never get used.

Imagine the following:

The Phrike

Tristan model
3 highs
3 mids
4 lows

40m drone bay 25mbit bandwidth

Role Bonus: Anywhere from 100% to 200% bonus to the following drones Acolyte EV-300, Warrior SW-300, Acolyte TD-300, Hobgoblin SD-300, Warrior TP-300

2nd Bonus could be a bonus to the rarely used remote ECCM, remote tracking computer?

The stacking penalty of these drones would have to be addressed and the exact amount of the bonus to keep it from being OP.

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Bombers used to use the same models as their T1 counterparts, but when missile launchers got turret models, the bombers had to be redone since torpedo launchers don't normally fit on frigate sized hulls. If you look, the bombers still bear asome resemblence to the T1 versions (nemesis has the same front end while mantirocre has the same sort of catamaran design, etc.) As for the Purifier, that's a T2 version of the Inquisitor. Devs screwed up a bit when they made the Inquisitor (previously a combat ship) the Support Frigate and the Tormentor (Previously a mining vessel) into the combat frigate.

EWAR is too limited a category to really need or use 2 ships in each class, Gallente have sensor damps and long range pointing for their EWAR, and the Keres already covers that and the Ishkur already covers the T2 drone swarm role.

As for the remote ECCM and Remote Tracking computer, the remote tracking computers are bonused by Minmatar and Gallente logistics Cruisers. I suppose it wouldn't be too horrible and idea to introduce Logistics Frigates. Still we don't need more EAFs

No need for a bump your idea is pointless and bad.
