Player Features and Ideas Discussion

If destroyers could act as boosters for gangs of frigates (and if their bonuses only applied to ships that fit small weapons so they couldn't boost anything bigger than a dictor), it would make the new fast warping and fast moving gangs even more fun, and would give them more durability for actually fighting it out instead of having no option but to run from anything that is a threat given their fragility in small skirmishes.

It would also give older players a reason to use destroyers again, since they seem only really used in faction warfare or by very new players as far as I can see.

I would opt for each being able to run two SMALL warfare links simultaneously, with the usual racial flavours. Bonuses only apply to ships that fit small weapons, with the usual 3% per level for the destroyer skill.

Maybe a new type of Faction Issued Destroyer similar to the Navy Brutix.

I think that it would also be a good idea to create a Faction Frigate and Faction Cruiser where modules could be fit to the ship that would perform booster functions as well.

I'd prefer tech II destroyers that give a role bonus on the squad leaders leadership skills...
