I would love to see T2 mining frigates. Currently mining in low-sec is a heavy ship's game so it'd be nice to have a lightweight alternative.

On th log in screen we have Ventures with three lasers, so I guess that one could be considered confirmed.


False. You shouldn't ever try to speculate based on a graphic that isn't specifically designed to reveal something. There are tons of graphics exactly like this that don't in any way represent actual gameplay. It's just a pretty picture.

Edit: To clarify, I'm not arguing that the venture won't get a t2 variant. I'm merely stating that the venture in that image is NOT the t2 model that's already been found. Additionally, It's very common for CCP to misrepresent weapons systems and turret/launcher count in their graphics for the sake of aesthetics.


Or, the artwork is finished before the ship itself is finished design wise and ends up changing in a late iteration, but after the artwork has been completed.

T2 Frigate Logi would be pretty kick ass. Probably not gonna happen this expansion though.

CCP is really boring. So I'm gonna guess... T2 Venture, 2 tournament ships, a hauler of fuel blocks, a hauler of dairy products, and a hauler of long-limbed roes.

But pirate BCs would have been awesome. Or Minmatar/Caldari pirate ships. Oh well.

My contacts in the shadow CSM which is THE SPACE ILLUMINATI tell me the new shiptypes are the ships for a new pirate faction called "Goons". Only people in Goonswarm Federation can use them, and they are T4 cruisers which can use sleeper weapon systems and have 2 million hitpoints and can fly 2,5 km/s and have 500 bandwidth and the ability to use twenty heavy drones or sentries. They are also immune to CONCORD.

And there will be one deathstar added, the HMS "Mittens". I'll let everybody here guess who gets to fly that.

Mordu's Frig, Cruiser and BS, a new Condor like ship (AT Ship?) and a blackish Venture (Propect) have all already been data mined.

Now I'm only interested in seeing these new Mordu's ship stat, considering the recent pirate faction rebalance, I'm really hyped to see which "exotic" bonus they'll get.

I think Pirates is a given, although it's almost certainly a missile-based Mordu line.

uhhhh, no, really - what unique bonuses can pirate industrials get?

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

There are logistic frigs, no logi in destroyers, logi cruisers, no logi battle cruisers and no logi battle ships. I wish they would make logi battle ships to follow the pattern. Maybe make them like mini carriers and give them drone bonus's.

Here's your hint:

The ships each fall into one of three categories.

One category will be fairly low impact for most players but still represent cool addition(s) to the game that I think many players will enjoy seeing.
One category fill a void that we've wanted to cover for quite a while.
One category provides more advanced version(s) of one of the most popular ships classes in EVE.

I think the following are fairly good contenders:
New industrial vessels, after all this will be an industry based expansion.
At least 1 new pirate faction, to fill an obvious void or two.
Possibly the suggested splitting of Black Ops Battleships into two distinct types.

While I don't think it as likely, I would love to see more done with the destroyer hulls as well.

Frankly, I wish they would consider making an actual effective (and fun) role for Deep Space Transports and allow them to be the first tanky and HEAVILY ARMED cargo vessels, fully capable of killing an interceptor trying to keep them pointed.

But that's just me. Smile

uhhhh, no, really - what unique bonuses can pirate industrials get?

DPS. Q-Ship, i.e. it appears just like a normal industrial (so pirates can sneak around in high-sec) but has tank and DPS.

Can get you past customs or, if you're flashy red to an Empire faction, past the navy ships. Most of the time.

Looks like the Reaver ships from Serenity. All the stats are completely worse than an regular empire industrial, but... Reaver ship skin!

Angel industrials that fly like firgates.

Seriously, use your imagination.
