Probably droneboat with a big drone bay (800m3) and lasers as secondary weapon bonus, with range modifier. And low mass. And armor bonus.

Looks good.




I heard its a mini mothership of old. Clone vat bay and a sma that can hold some frigs...

Also it said enhanced medium drone bay so may a ship bonus that turns medium drones into heavies.

I think it would be cool if the high slots were for regular tech ii cloak not covert ops... and bonus to remote repair mods.

Where'd you hear all of that? Sounds a little over-the-top for a pirate BS.

Maybe it'll be able to field more than 5 bonused drones.
100 bandwidth, 800 bay, 10 control maybe, 10% per level damage and hp.

It doesn't look anything like that, and saying so repeatedly isn't going to make it true.

Nobody thinks you're being funny.

You noticed that the ring is at the forward section, right?

Jeeze... all these people getting caught up over the details of the appearance.


Has anyone considered that perhaps the art DEVs...

- don't like the "conventional designs" found in other Science Fiction (they want their ships to be "unique" rather than lose them in a sea of similar looking ships)?
- purposefully make some ships aesthetically offensive knowing full well (as well as laughing) that we'll spend lots of time, effort, and money just to fly something useful/rare?

How did you Veterans start?

That'd be an awesome idea- and that could even help with it's role- if this thing's going to be in WHs a lot, having more drones out at once would help a little to mitigate the Sleeper AI's evil drone aggro.

Maybe it'd even have some attribute that'd prevent Sleepers from targeting its drones? That'd be interesting.

I do hope they loose those vertical wings. If those are meant for wh use then they would introduce unnecessary structural stress to ships hull due wh gravitational wave distortions. Would look slick other tn that...

Will be great in WH's a BS with low mass and drones, be great fun dropping it on people running wh sites or on people running sites in null. Basically it will be an awesome PVP toy. Wont be running sites with it. Guess i'll have to pop back to hs to actually run some missions for the LPs....not paying for the damn thing.

Fozzie said that the ship will have a sma and clone vat bay.

As for the medium drone that's from the Facebook picture that pointed out an enhanced medium bay... so I figured that means enhanced medium drones... as for the rr that is what I am hoping for but I would not be surprised if we got optimal range bonus

Ah, well that means even more for wormhole travel Big smile I can see it having a bonus to number of drones deployed and bandwidth, having it essentially become a mini-carrier, seeing as we have mini-dreds already~

Either way, I've been saving up for it so I'll definitely be getting one once it's released Big smile

I'm not sure why people are excited about the mass and wormholes... Nobody would be suicidal enough to bring in a faction battleship that doesn't have some massive derailing effect in combat (bhaal and neuts). There is a reason you don't see nightmares, rattlesnakes and machariels in wormholes.

This ship would have to have some dramatic combat effect, or some dramatic alternative use to even be anywhere near valuable in wormhole space.

Well see what it does.

Yaay!!!!

It won't have a med bay- look. I guess someone read part of it and misinterpreted it.

It'll be an amazing drone boat- I'm certain of that Big smile

But will it tank L4 missions?

If the thing uses Sentries at all (and since the Stratios does, this one should too) then all you really need to do is MJD to 100 and snipe away. You pretty much don't need a tank at those ranges, unless we're talking about sleepers.
