I have always been a fan of assault frigates, but we currently lack a proper ship for support for them. Would anyone be interested in a T2 Burst or a T2 Navitas?



Don't listen to the rest of the top of their game monkeys as they don't want any new ships because it means they would no longer be top of the game and would actually have to do something new.



Umm, these people would walk into whatever new ships comes out. the intent is to make sure the ship is needed, and balanced.
In the case of the t1 logi frigates unless you watching some other AT...they showed there are already capable. As they were a viable option to bring 2 of them over 1 "real" logi at cruiser level.

They were not a gimmick to bring in 2 logi ships for a lower points cost. Run well they handled their own. Gimmicks don't do that, they tend to blow up in your face. PL trying (and failing, hard) at vagabond rushing showed that about gimmicks. They thought maybe it was due in 2nd match with camel....and we saw why no one brings vaga's in AT.


T1 logi frig's weakness is they are not forgiving if being flown badly. This if avoided....has them shine. Lets not have t2 water this down to be yet another spam them mindlessly for the win meta.

A T2 Logi Destroyer would fill the gap between the Cruiser and Frigate Logi hulls that would release the Cruiser Hulls to help support the Logi Hulls while the Destroyer Hulls supported both the Frigate and Cruiser Hulls rather effectively.



Yes because that is what i would want a logi ship that dies in 1-2 volleys against most fleets.


However the idea someone brought up of T2 frigs that support via things like Sebos or tracking enhancers would be cool may take some balancing but right now it is much more favored to use hostile E-war rather then friendly so i think this could mix things up a bit maybe make them like the EAFs give them the logi bonus of the T1 and then add a remote support bonus as well.
