We have an awesome vertical dread but, no vertical carrier. What gives?

Not too much demand to haul a bunch of verticals....obviously.






Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

We can call it the pride of hiigara.

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

This guy gets it.

E: Since the nidhoggur is the crappiest carrier it should be made vertical.

Only if attacking it is a suspect level offense instead of criminal. Vertical is too overpowered for mining otherwise.

Stealth "Someone make a Homeworld 3 already" thread? Well, we can only hope. After the proposed Mechwarrior 5 reboot pulled a Starcraft Ghost, everyone was sure that IP was officially dead. Now we have MWO and even a browser-based table-top game. Who'd a thunk?

That's a great idea CCP should sell world of darkness and acquire homeworld.

I think we've already agreed that this is the Pride of Hiigara.

That threatens to give Minmatar a monopoly on vertical-ships!

That can't be allowed - Gallente is the natural home of the vertical

I just don't see how they could balance a vertical carrier, maybe allowing the other 3 to receive assistance in triage or something. I think it might just be easier from a game design perspective to look at making the Niddy sit at 45° which would bring it inline with the Archon an chimera without being too OP.

Pfft

The really big question is: "why are there no saucer shaped ships?"

Fwiw Anal probe launchers are unwanted

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

I forget, which way is vertical in space?
