EVE General Discussion

1 balance is impossible espeically in eve where the potential parameters keep expanding where as smaller containg games only have to deal with limited situations.
2 balanced is actually boring
3 unbalance keeps things interesting.
4 new ships are considered gameplay content they change warfare every time a new interesting platform is introduced.
5 balance should sitll be done to keep things relative and in line as newer ways to fight keep popping up.
6 in reality nothing is fair or balanced.

more destroyer's(T1&T2)
a second black ops that launches stealth fighter-bombers to assist SB with
T2 dreds and carriers for new roles(WH's and system interdiction)
Light carriers(think combat orca)
More T2 BS's(on grid interdiction or what have you)

Pirate Battlecruisers

New Pirate Factions with ships to go with them

I'm looking at you, potential Caldari-Minnie Hybrid.

I can generate more than enough work at ccp for the next 100 years :P

Outriggers

These batlteship sized ships have a large number of rig slots and have bonuses that further enhance the rigs effects and reduces thier penalties even further than normal rig training allows for.

Unfourtunately they're not stellar in any performance they have a level of ridged flexibility that only a technology 3 could outpace.

Gallente - Skylla
Caldari - Carbuncle
Amarr - Rosary
Minmatar - Breaker

Let's see the return of mine ships - the stories of massive chains of mines going off and causing concordokken for all sound hilarious to me.

They only have 1 High slot - Crane. Not something you could really use. I'm talking about something in the Ore group, looks like a Hulk, but hits like a Desty.

Right now I'm messing with a Hulk that has 28k ehp with resist at 75/80/80/80 across and a DPS of 130 (drones). I scanned down a DED site and gave it a go. Handled the Heavy Missile Batteries pretty well.

I am partial to the design of a sort of battleship and a carrier, that can carry a third less of the fighters and fighter bombers than regular carriers can. Such a ship would be very powerful in terms of drone use, and possibly for use in missions or mining? If it does not work well for mining, make a version that does, and able to fit fifteen mining drones without extra modules.

Liners

These battleship sized civllian ships are the ultimate getaway in luxury and comfort from terra firma.

Featuring armored and shielded compartments that double as life boats, these ships have much more significant safety in mind for her passengers than any other previous generations.

Built with the latest technological fallouts learned from military powers the liner's engineers have managed to build in a stable and shielded microwarp drive that gives the liner the bottom line in unassistened ship performance in speed agility accelration and featurs a warp core strength of two. She has storage for 250m3 of luxury goods such as quafe ultra and long limbed rhoe caviar.

With luxury in mind however her hull and shields are still considerability thinner than a real military ships and she has no equipability as to preserve the pristine luxury of the ship.

Operation of these ships is quite simple requiring racial battleship qualification to 1 in order to fly.

Gallente - Olympus
Caldari - Cygnus
Amarr - Purgatory
Minmatar - Vanhalla

Well 124 so far let me dig around for more.
