I think I would love to see a new destroyer class ship, something specialized that will help against supercarriers without having to nerf supercarriers one bit.
An anti-drone destroyer.
The role of this ship would be to jam out and destroy drones of all types.
Special module: hislot ECM Burst module with strength enough to have a very high chance of jamming drones (including fighters and fighter bombers), with a good range (at least double the range of standard ECM Burst modules, must be greater than the range of fighter and fighter bomber weapon systems). It would be balanced by the fact that it could ONLY jam drones (call it jamming the control signal between the controlling ship and the drones), and it could only be fit on this particular class of ship. A successful jam would prevent the drone from targeting or firing on anyone for about 20 seconds (depending on balance) as per a normal jam. For a little extra fun, it might even make the drone stop moving for the duration (as if the drone lost all power and/or control signals).
Each race's version will get bonuses based on that race's weapon systems of course, as normal.
In addition, the ship would get a role bonus of +100% - 200% (whatever seems balanced) damage against fighters and fighter bombers, and 50% reduction in smartbomb capacitor use and CPU requriements, and 90% reduction in smartbomb powergrid requirements.
I think a ship like this would fill a great role of killing drones, both defending itself and helping to defend a fleet. Its use would make supercarriers have to be escorted by smaller ships that don't rely on drones, or else the supercarrier's damage output would be neutered.
What do you think, yea or nay?

Because using a paper thin hull as an anti-supercapital weapon platform sounds like a great idea.

An assault Destroyer would be nice if I were to see a new T2 destroyer. One that can sport a tank.

But if the drones couldn't touch it because they were jammed, then it doesn't need a tank. and it should have somewhat of a tank anyway, being a T2 destroyer. Fighter bombers shouldn't be able to hit such a small ship (and neither should fighters but that is another argument for another thread).

I agree. I just like frigates and destroyers, and small ships in general. I pretty much only fly sub BS ships, big ships are too slow. I would love to see a new destroyer, either with a decent tank or at least a small signature radius. In fact, all destroyers should have about a 50-60m signature radius as is (but this is also an argument better left to another thread).

Thats why I think it should be the between of a AF and HAC, if there ever would be an Assault Dessy

Sounds like a nerf to Gallente - the faction in dire need of a buff.
