as it says cant faction ships be made so that when used with there own faction mods they get bonuses so CNR with CN boosters and launchers get aditional bonuses to the mods ec you get the idea makes them more special than they are.

dot see why not the implants give domuses dont see why it cant happen to the ship+mods if you invest in the faction stuff then its worth it as its so hard to get

I Agree. It would be interesting to see some sort of faction equipment synergy bonus. Nothing too extreme though.
Much like the armor sets of D2, yes?

I dunno... while at first it sounds interesting, it also sounds a bit too much like "World of EVE-craft" at the same time. It just wouldn't be EVE if everyone ends up "grinding for purples" for one very specific set to get such-and-such a bonus. More over, in WOW, the set bonuses are of course typically beneficial to a certain class or one class vastly more so than another (a warrior boosting MP isn't long for this world), but in EVE, there aren't classes, and even the seperate races and tribes have very little that [i]truly[/] limits them from doing basically anything that anyone else is doing.
what makes EVE so nice to me is that parts are so interchangeable and the parts themselves are the myriad bonuses you're looking for, rather than the specific set or name(s) associated with it.

Seems like this would also give anyone who's selling faction gear an unfair advantage to raise prices even higher. Say someone has 99% of a whole set. They need one more item, and since they are probably hellbent on getting it, they'd be willing to pay more for it, raising the prices, while people who aren't after whole sets, are stuck not having the money. That might not happen, but it seems likely.

The thing is, not everyone would want to do it, due to the nature of EvE. In WoW, if you get a great set, then congratulations, you've got a huge bonus that'll last forever and ever. In EvE, it just takes one warp scrambling rat and some mismanaged aggro to turn that huge bonus you paid three billion isk for into about 300 million isk worth of mods you were lucky enough to recover in a frigate.
Only hard-line carebears and ultra-rich 0.0 barons would derive benefit from such a system if it required a full set. Instead, have CN launchers on a CNR just get a 5% reduction in RoF, for instance, so whether you have one or seven CN launchers installed, the bonus doesn't change.
That way loot still has nice value, and maybe more faction gear can be made available, but it doesn't turn EvE into Diablo II. -------------- Civis Ascendant Sum |

Yeah that was basically what I was afraid of it being. As long as it didn't make faction gear even less reasonable for us non-filthy rich folks, I think it'd be a good idea.

its not D2 we already have set bonuses on implants and its not like faction ships are game breaking, in d2 sets were used everyday of the week ect in eve players dont take rattelsnakes out for pvp runs or fleet ops. as has been said the bonus cant be too extreem but seems worth haveing an aditional bonus to faction items+ships as currently they are just bosted vertions of what we already have.
also fits with the idea of factional warfare when that comes in dedicated faction ship and fit.

Don't have sets, but rather have small bonuses for matching stuff:
Good Match
Amarr Navy Slicer + Amarr navy AB = +2% speed boost on the AB
Not So Good Match
Navy Issue Apoc + Amarr Navy AB = +1% speed boost on AB

I Agree, would be an interesting thing and would stimulate to fit the matching things on the ships...
The only problem would be the requirements for the boni, im thinking of something like DB Nos 1% Bonusdrain for each other DB Modul of different kind. 2% bonus Drain when fitting on an DB ship
It should workout so that the boni require different Kind of moduls to make a noticable boost. If managed only through the amount of Faction moduls oppose the Kind we would get CNR with CN Launchers that would hurt badly...
But neitherless a interesting Idea

Somewhat off subject, how about some more factions loot. At the moment it only seems to be Navy stuff or Officer stuff:
Khanid Innovations Expanded Cargohold
*Gives bonus when used on khanid innovations industrial (I.e. Impel) *You get it as LP agent offer for doing missions for say Khanid Innovations or Khanid Transport
added
As in you could have "corp" as opposed to "faction" loot
/me still thinks EvE needs branding to make markets really interesting, but that is something else
