I have seen the ideas here many times.
I realy want it. no no, not the Domi. (wel I want a domi as well. little fat piggy, I like it)
I want a real drone ship that can carry fighters, but is not a capital ship.
Please CCP Can I have one? please? Riding the missile! |

Fighters are not Drones... they're just lumped into the same catagory for coding purposes.
Fighters are actually like a Fighter Jet of today. They have a real person inside, just not one of us with neural interfaces and Pods.
So it would take the resources of a Capital ship to properly maintain those ships, and house the pilots.
Plus... Fighters are upscaled to compete with large battles. If you could carry Fighters on a BS, then you'd pretty much pwn L4s.

I have to agree with marcus on this one, no sub capital should ever be able to use fighters. They are over rated anyway, I use mostly ogre IIs and sentrys in my thanatos while in combat, less I am pos sitting while giving my fighters to someone else to fighter bomb.
While I would like to see more drone ships, the fact that they cause so much lag in use of drones means we will most likly not get any new drone ships, they will be other ships that happen to have small drone bays.

I see your point and you are mostly right. But I would insist on this a little more :)
I already do pwn lvl 4s with a Raven, 6/7 missile bays attached And 5 tech 2 medium scouts. (see I got 5 units fighting for me already)
I just want a tradeoff. I will give up my missile slots for upgrade of my medium scouts to fighters? no? I carry thousands of crew members inside my battleship, and I wont be able to have fighter pilots? and also, come on we have the technology just to remote them right? or dont we?
There were battleships as big as carriers in the WW II right? And still there may be. Riding the missile! |

I admit that proper usage of fittings AND drones makes missions a lot easier. But this would only compound that advantage.
The main difference being DPS. Fighters would one shot anything that your drones would have to work a minute against.
Also... Fighters are simply too large to be operated effectively by remote. Look at the stats on a Heavy drone, or a Sentry, and then look at the stats on a Fighter. It'd be like putting a fully functional Apache on remote control.
Also... I understand that a BS houses a sizeable crew, but it doesn't carry the necessary machine shops, maintenance bays, fuel supplies, ammo storage, etc. A capital ship, on the other hand, is literally a floating city.
Battleship = Empire State Building getting up and fighting.
Carrier = New York City getting up and fighting.

Would you like some cheese with that whine?
Honestly, the OP is pathetic, aside from this being a bad idea in the first place. |

Someone forget to take their Bitter Pills this morning?
I don't think it's "whining" or pathetic.
But I do think it amounts to asking "Why can't I fit XLarge Capital guns or a Doomsday onto my BS?"

Well. I will just lol.
I just basically want more out of this game. I want more options.
I want more of the same exact thing, so I may have stupid other reasons to choose one over the other. ie. I may like the ship called Raven more then the Penguin (made this up now as you may understand; of course if you understand English Properly) where Raven and Penguin are same except for the model.
See what I am saying. You beings like Exaguration a little?
5 fighters alone as I mentioned are not much stronger then 5 drones + all my turret/missile bays. Riding the missile! |

Edited by: Ethaet on 06/08/2008 19:03:15 There are no non capital droneships in eve. The domi, ishtar, vexor, myrm and eos (even if it sucks) are all figaments of your imagination. -------------------------------------------------------------- Seriously, we need some kind of separation between the post and signature. There you go. Now that wasn't so hard |

We have several Non Capital Ships, The Dominix, The Ishtar and the Myrmadon are great examples.
Also, Can I have your stuff?

Edited by: DraedPirate Roberts on 07/08/2008 08:28:30 Okay, so maybe not fighters exactly, but the guy/gal has a point. With the exception of capital ships, there are no dedicated drone platforms. Yeah, the Domi has a buttload of drones, so does the Myrm, the T2 crapships, whatever. But seriously, how about a dedicated drone platform (even if it only uses heavy drones, or maybe a new "mini-fighter") that DOESN'T require low-sec space + 9 months to train for? Just to add more flavor to the game. Some people dig the idea of sending their hordes of drones after a target and shredding it. I for one would love a dedicated drone platform for each race. And don't you DARE make it T2, either. I'm sick of looking at ridiculously long skill training times.
Edit: And by dedicated, I mean a ship with no turrets or launchers, that fights solely with its drones. Risky, I know, but possible. CCP can do it.
