Kind of like a concept art of the Tempest I've seen a while ago: Tempest

Which is probably the best Tempest ever.

I really hope it looks like it is going to fall apart at any instant. Or at least very not "finished".

Always felt like the loki is a bit too "nice" for minmatar. I let the maelstrom off since that is suppose to be the "ship they finally finished".

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.

I've got it.

The Minmatar ship is going to be the last T3 destroyer they release and will literally be comprised entirely of all the T3 modules that were leftover.

It's lore. Ship that.

Is defensive mode on these the equivalent of some red shirt hammering on a few more plates of scrapmetal during mid-combat spacewalk?


More like using a blow-torch to temper the plates, thus making them more resistant to damage.

Minmatar Tactical Destroyer... for some reason i keep imagining a low yield nuclear missile when i read it out loud.

That can't be too far from the truth, Minmatar engineers use nuclear reactions for pretty much everything.



Up to and including making coffee...

I just hope the other destroyers don't all have the same set of modes. This is the opportunity to cater to the different tactics of the empires and set them some more apart from each other. Having four times the same ship gets a bit boring after a while.

Interesting... What other modes could we have?

On top of my head: Ewar, warp speed/warp core strength, logistics, covert mode, capacitor recharge mode, etc.

Even if every destroyer only gets a single mode unique to them would already up the flavour.
