The NH is a great ship for PVE
point
This is where it is working .
IMHO this IS it's role.
It may not be the role it was designed for.. but it is the role it is used and it WORKS.
Just don't patch a running system. There are enough broken ships out there .. Nighthawk isn't one of them.
If you really want to PVP.. use something else.. it's not that there aren't enough other ships.

Yes there are many ships that can do lvl 4 without much thought..
But the Nighthawk is looking better than most :) (while doing a better job than the drake).
It's always brought up that the ship doesn't fit the role of a Field Command ship.
That may be. Wrong. This IS the case.. no argument there
But while it does not excel in THIS role, it is working very good in a PVE Environment.
Doing good damage to all Hull-sizes, Better than its T1 Counterpart and being more easily replaced than Marauders and the like.
Why do you think it stupid to consider PVE its role? Only because its labeled "Field" Command Ship?
(Besides IMO 3/4 PVP and 1/4 PVE is better than 4/4 PVP and 0/4 PVE .. AFAIK PVE is still part of the game)
And there is no reason why a PVE Ship should not get gang bonuses.
lets say one pilot is running missions while a few corpies are in the same system mining.
I'm pretty sure they would welcome some any bonus they can get.

To sum it all up:
I completely understand the wish to get more grid in the NH to make it work in PVP.
BUT It is working very good in PVE NOW, it is already filling a niche there (Pimp Drake for those who don't like to use BS sized vessels :) ).
______________
AND if CCP will ever see fit to give it more grid they will with a 94 % certainty nerf it in some other way. Probably removing the only ship of its kind. (Astarte and Absolution work in PVE as well .. but they are nowhere near the Nighthawk in this regard)

PVE is NOT a role in a Game that is designed around PVP.
why?
afaik it is supposed to be a sandbox game.
Might be mistaken though

if you wanted to use a gang link while doing PvE you still need fiting mods.
Not necessarily. HML II, 3 BCUs, active tank fits tight but it fits with minor faction-tweaking.
But I agree with the rest.
Maybe I have expressed myself poorly. I have nothing against more grid.
But I don't consider the NH broken.. It may be broken for its intended role as a Field Command ship.. but it's great on the PVE front. And knowing CCP If the NH should get more Grid.. they will nerf something else.
Most likely removing this beautiful ship from the PVE fleet.
(Its a bit like the Pilgrim.. Everybody whined about it, while it was one of the best cov-ops haulers in a time before cov-ops transports. :) )
btw. The only ship that REALLY needs more grid is the Vargur. (c;

that example is silly .
Agreed. But it was the first thing that came to mind..
How about boosting other corpies mission running? :)
Anyways. I hope the next patches leave at least one Commandship as a viable choice for lvl 4 Missions.
If all get to be good at PVP that's just an added bonus.
g'night folks.

I thought the Nighthawk only gang did pretty well in the Tournament (c;
Ok, it might not be considered "real" PVP, but nonetheless, they DID win.
