So at some point the mighty Fozzy and Rise will get round to re-balancing t2 cruisers. Now I have no ideas what to do about the rest of the cruisers. But as I am a Gallente toon, and so most of a my skill points are in Gallente ships. I Like flying them (I know, Silly me).
Gallente cruisers ships are in that one spot where if they commit to a fight (Solo or in a gang) They have no "Run Away Kiting" mode if things are going bad. The exception is the Ishtar that can shield tank. But Drones are not the best main weapon system as any PvPer will tell you. Drones are good, But not good enough.
Now there are a 3 Gallente ships that make use of Missile skill points. The Stealth Bomber Nemeses. The Eris Light Interdictor (yes I do fly it). And the Recon Ship the Lachesis. This to me, This is not enough of a choice of ships to make me invest in training up/Spending Skill points on Missiles. So Blasters and Rails is where I have to go.
So I was thinking (yeh yeh. Really bad idea!!) Would it not be cool to make the Demos a Rocket/Missile Boat instead of a Blaster boat? It could still be a armor tanking ship. But thanks to skills like HonnyCombing and the changes to armor plates. It just might be possible to do that wonderful thing that every other race of ships can do. Kite / Disengage / RunAway when one wishes too.
Plus. I Want to PLAY with Rocket/Missile on my Gallente Cruisers and do real damage with it ;) |

Asking for x thing on y ship because you feel like it generally isn't going to work.
If you want to fly a kiting missile HAC we have one of those, it's called a Cerberus. Don't buy one thill they fix it though, it's ****, get a tengu.
If you insist on staying Gallente you can kite with sentry drones in an ishtar, or a Navyt Vexor after Odyssey.
Train the race that fits your playstile, don't ask for races to be changed to match it, especially when what you are asking for already exists. |

It think it's a fair request actually. All the races except Gallente have some general combat ships that can use missiles.
We even have Roden Shipyards stamped on several of our ships: "Unlike most Gallente ship manufacturers, Roden Shipyards tend to favor missiles over drones and their ships generally possess stronger armor. Their electronics capacity, however, tends to be weaker than ships from their competitors." Yet no solid missile combat ships.
Not to mention it would make for a good progression ship towards Gallente who want to fly a Rattlesnake. Personally I'd be happy if they even just put more unbonused launcher slots on our combat ships as an alternative to turrets, on perhaps something like a Myrm where there wouldn't be a penalty for going missile. |

The Sacrilege is a missile boat right?
just checked, Yes it is.
But Minmatar don't have a HAC that can have missile's. Maybe that can happen too as Minmatar do have some missile boats in it's line of ships. |

I hate to be all "Oh hey, ship descriptions" but since Marxzo above me already opened that door...
The Deimos is made by Duvolle Laboratories. Duvolle's description says:
"Duvolle Laboratories manufactures sturdy ships with a good mix of offensive and defensive capabilities. Since the company is one of New Eden's foremost manufacturers of particle blasters, its ships tend to favor turrets and thus have somehwat higher power output than normal."
Now, we do have a Thorax-class made by Roden Shipyards. It is not, however, the Deimos. It is the Phobos. I suspect that the Eris being a Roden ship has to do with the Interdiction Launcher and then the Phobos is Roden as an extension of that.
CCP has this thing about consistency. If they made the Deimos into a missile boat, it would need a new skin. Then the Phobos would need a new skin.
But really, there's another totally RP-unrelated reason why this will never happen. Two reasons, actually.
The first reason is because we already have the Cerberus for a long-range missile HAC and the Sacrilege for a short-range missile HAC. For a drone HAC, there's the Ishtar. Laser HAC is the Zealot. Vagabond fills out the AC HAC role with Muninn apparently intended to be Arty HAC. Railgun HAC, for better or worse, is the Eagle.
Clearly, the only role left for the Deimos is Blaster HAC. |
