The Nighthawk needs more powergrid.

The helios definitely need one more high slot.

And in return drop the small useless drone bay? On the other side it's gallente, wouldn't be right if it didn't have a drone bay...

I happen to think that exhumers are pitiful at what they do, I'm not too bothered about the mining yield but the speed they mine at is torture, I'm about to skip the Hulk and go straight for an Orca, if I'm going to be forced to mine for hours just to get barely five cycles done I want it to be in style and with a giant cargo hold.

inb4 people who've never done mining before whine about the ore/mineral prices getting depreciated because mining would be interesting to do.

Free database, no one would cry for it since they're crap, they've almost always bean and will continue to be.

Introduce new ships, it's always good for troops morale and keeps juices flowing.

+1 on mining barges being crap, I just put them on the same folder "to delete" unused/crap ships.

+1 about mining being tedious, bot friendly, easy victim as we recently saw it Malcanis law striked once again (ice interdiction)

Orca: I only use it to move stuff/ships and it's good enough, I can fly Charon but I really think Orca is slow enough for me already. Unfortunately there' no option to decrease Orca's dedicated mineral cargohold to increase either regular cargohold/ships bay/corp hangar.

Of all industrial ships I can fly I only use Orca and Cloacky Badger (wonderfull in low sec, good in null and just god mode in high sec)

The cruor.

Give it another lowslot and some powergrid.
Would balance it a bit with the other faction frigs in the same price range.

The succubus could use some love too.

Retribution needs a midslot, but I hope it gets this love in the AF fixes coming up in Crucible 1.1.

Eagle just needs everything. It's no good right now, even after hybrid rework. It needs reimagining from the ground up. In addition, the Moa hull needs some love. Pretty hard.

The Legion as a neuting ship is outclassed by the Curse, as a boosting ship is a smaller Damnation, as a laser ship is a tanky Zealot with no range, and as a HAM ship is slightly glorified Sacrilege. At 5x the price. It's not that the Legion isn't better than all of those ships in some way... It just isn't worth the cost to have a Legion when I could go buy two or more Curses/Damnations/Zealots/Sacrileges and not have to risk Skill Points to fly them.

EAFs are a bit underused from my experience. Maybe some changes might help them. They seem outclassed by all their larger, Recon brethren.

The Rook feels totally underused in comparison to the Falcon.

There need to be more Faction ships that use more race combos. Please. I love the faction ships, but the hard-on Factions seem to have for Gallente/Minmatar is a bit absurd.

I want more main-faction versions of standard ships. Why just a CN Osprey, or an AN Augoror? Why not a CN Kestrel, GF Thorax, or Fleet Hurricane? Also, why not unique ships for each class/race? Why only the Imperial Navy Slicer, or Hookbill? Why not a unique Cruiser or Battlecruiser?
