Cross between a frigate and an industrial. Or maybe as an easier example a destroyer with better cargo but much less combat potential.

The idea is to afford a faster courier type industrial that has less cargo carrying capacity but still enough to warrent use for smaller scale supply where speed is more important than capacity.

Like Serenity or the Millennium Falcon.

That is a pretty cool Idea.

More T1 carrier hulls [smaller, cheaper, not jumpable, maybe even gate-able hisec stuff with crappier drone bays?]

More T1 Dread hulls [smaller, cheaper, maybe even gate-able hisec stuff /bigger, more expensive stuff with strong anti-cap and anti-subcap [Flak dreads!] focus]

Flagships - T2 Carrier hulls [No logistic boni or repper modules, gains tanking bonus, link boni and turret/missile slots + t2 fighters geared toward anti sub caps/anti-cap ops] Wing Commander / Battlestar Galactica stuff..

Dark Ops - Cov Ops T2 Carrier hulls meets the Black Ops [Recon drones for intel, can assign drones to celestial objects like belts, moons, stations, planets, suns, gates, allows the player to look at the drones and see what they see. Can deploy drones while cloaked + add more t2 fighter drones with ewar, strong sub cap pvp focus, useless against caps or supers, glass tank]

Juggernaut - T2 CEWAR (Capital Ewar) Dread / Capital Interdictor [Can tackle titans and super carriers, point/web (200km range +/-), vamp, damp, jam em. T2 resistences, 3-6 mil EHP with poor fits, strong local tanks, you name it, they give you wet dreams over it kinda stuff. Very strong versus caps and supers, useless against sub caps] <- Must be prevented from targeting sub caps or CEWAR will be abused. (Should result in all sub-cap ewar being useless vs supers, including deploy-able/launch-able HIC/Int bubbles)

T2 Titans with old AoE doomsdays!

t3 freighters (give us t1 freighter holds with a few slots plz)

Moar Jump Freighter hulls!

infact... t3 caps plz.

kthanx

Eve is about Capital ships, WiS, Boobs, PI and Isk!

This is a pretty cool niche ship. I like it.

This ship is unable to use gates, cyno, or jump portals.
This ship gains a bonus for every fighter assigned to it.
Bonus varies based on fighter type. IE Fighterbombers grant a massive dps increase.
Addiitonal bonus from corvette skill which requires frigate 3 drones 3 and leadership 3.
The skills are used to improve weapon performance.

Ship comes prefitted.

Types of bonus are dependent on the types of fighter assigned to it.
Craft can warp.

Reclimation Frigate Class

Tech 1 frigates - Four Empires

This ship would have functional bonsues for salvaging, tractor beams and the reworked hacking (extracting blackbox codes from wrecks)
Requires Frigate 2.
These frigates will feature +1 mid slot for navigational purposes but not a roomy cargo space.
These frigates will feature at least 3 high slots for the fitting of one tractor beam one salvager or one modified codebreaker or a variety of the three.
Competes against astrometric frigates and mining frigates in industry terms.
Great Introductory ship into salvaging and hacking remixed.

Tech 2 Version
Noctis like salvaging and hacking abilities with expanded cargo and improved navigational systems. Designed to go in and quickly salvage and exit. Development is on hold until mining frigates get thier tech 2 versions.

Cherub - Gallente
Finch - Caldari
Rites - Amarr
Pyre - Minmatar

Tier 2 Destroyer - Four Empires.
'Heavy' Destroyer

These destroyers where originally designed to be more survivable in mordern fleet warfield environments. While retaining superior tracking ability it cuts down on total offensive abilities to increase navigational and overall defensive performrances.

Tier 3 Destroyer - Four Empires.
'Squadron' Destroyer

These destroyers have little bite but massive sting with a large cadre of electronic warfare slots and bonuses that give them the edge over technology 1 electronic frigates and the ability to engage multiple targets make her a fearsome cornerstone in any fast attack squadron preventing multiple targets from engaging friendly forces as easily. They are reliant on thier drone bays for self defense mostly as high slots are more likely to be used in remote support and logistics.

Tier 2 Tech 2 Destroyer
Escort Destroyer
These enhanced heavy destroyers are specialist in destroying targets as large or smaller than itself with superior electronics, tracking and reach combined with improved defenses make this destroyer a perfect lightweight escort ship.

Tier 3 Tech 3 Destroyer
'Firescout' Destroyer

These electronic platforms have only one goal in mind ensuring that thier fellow squadmates are able to find and engage thier targets by protecting fellow ships from harmful electronic warfare and lighting up intendend targets making them easier to be hit. This may also function as a future stealth hunter.

Tier 2 Tech 1
Caldari - Kite
Gallente - Artimus
Minmatar - Blunder
Amarr - Bishop

Tier 3 Tech 1
Caldari - Snapper
Minmatar -Pugil
Amarr - Salvation
Gallente - Arcamedes

Tech2s as of this moment are unnamed at the yards.

Tech 2 Resurgent Ships
Tier 1 Flotsam - Explosive Specialist

'Teir 4' Battleships

"Gaurdian Battleships"
Despite being the 4th batleship entry they only require battleship 2 to fly.

With fleets massing up around entire battleship squadrons the need for lighter role ships to do certain tasks that only a heavier ship can withstand led to the creation of this ship.

Though these battleships are more utilitarian than they areoffensive. By offering logistical support, powerful reactors and capacitors, electronic defenses or offenses, and heavier drone useage than comparable battleships in thier race they can prove quite useful. They are a jack of alot of trades but cannot master them all at once. They can focus themselves to also be very strong defensively offering superior protection of thier own electronics.

Split wepaon systems discourage thier use as a weapons platform but thier thick defenes are much harder to breech than traidtional comparable battleships and can provide to be a nunance to hostile forces denying targets and swithing on friendly ships that are under heavy electronic attack.
