May have been mentioned already, but since CCP say they are committed to more spaceships, what about a capital gunship. The idea behind it is to purely have a specialised huge ship with 24 high slots, 8 small, 8 medium and 8 large guns. No drones. Obviously certain drawbacks to keep it balanced. Terrible idea? |

So, you want a solopwnmobile that can engage any size target at will; I'll bet you want plenty of mids and lows too and tons of grid/CPU to fit whatever you might want. That dosn't sound OP at all. /sarcasm.
CCP might have expressed an interest in adding some new ships, but they are even more committed to not making it so that whoever has the biggest ship always wins, which is what that ship would be. It'll never happen. |

CCP firmly stated they will never go beyond the 8 slot format and are more likely to add in another level of fitting (like they did with rigs) than more slots than 8.

I hadn't heard of that. - And of course solopwnship it wasn't meant to be, more like no low or mid slots in favour of more high slots. No problem, was only brainstorming. |

While perhaps extreme, your proposal illustrates a point that has come up many times over the years. The mental image of a ship more resembling modern day naval combat vessels... vessels that have a variety of various sized guns available for different tasks.
If the damage and effectiveness scaled in a linear fashion from smallest to largest, I could easily see an argument for perhaps the ability to sacrifice a large weapon high slot for perhaps 2 medium weapons (in that slot) or 4 small weapons in that same spot.
This would add a large number of options to fittings, and visually would be outstanding.
However, the differences in stats between various size weapons does not scale in this manner very well.
Edit: It would also not fit well with the emphasis on forming a well balanced fleet to protect each others weaknessess. Revenge should not stop at the ship!
It's not so much a mission statement,-áit's more like a family motto. |
