Since CCP released the noctis for the long overdue salvage specific ship, can we get a gas mining specialization ship? Its one of the few aspects that does not have its own ship, the same goes for hacking/archaeology mods.

ex:
Gas Harvesting ship
5% bonus to gas miner range and cycle time per level

Hacking ship
2.5% bonus to access chance per skill level, 50% bonus to range of code breakers and Analyzers per sill level.

On a related note: introduce meta code breakers and analyzers?

Related related note: Smartbomb specialization skills and or ship??

I agree that there should be specialized ships for all of the exploration content, and ideally ships that you genuinely could take into the sites and have them survive. Not so that you can run all the sites in them, but so that you could bring them in with the fleet and not just have them melt.

Personally, I'm in favor of a tech 2 cruiser sized ORE ship (maybe even built off of the noctis) that has a role bonus to Gas mods, codebreakers, analyzers and maybe even salvagers. Give it enough slots to shield or armor tank (or at least buffer either way) and there we go. Way better to have one ship that can do all of it than a bunch of new ships that you need to have all of them in your WH or you low sec station. Oh and I'd personally be in favour of giving them a covert cloak. Simply because most exploration ship atm are built on recons and t3s, so why not. These things can't kill anything no matter what, so give them a covert cloak.

Maybe not everyone's ship, but certainly a ship that it would be good to have.

I dunno about smartbomb ships though. Thats a bad idea.

if any ship gets a smartbomb bonus it should be a cap reduction and CPU reduction bonus

I would really like to see tier 3 T2 battleships with that role

15% reduction in cap use and 10 % reduction in CPU use of smartbombs per level.

If I remember correctly t3 cruisers were supposd to have industrial subsystems so that they could perform gas/mining roles. While I'm not terribly upset that never happened I'd like to see an adaptable t3 explorer/industrial/harvester ship. It'd get more use than t3 frigs would imo.

another idea would be a ship that would have a bonus to the number of gas harvesters it could fit.
