YES PLS! faction (not ships exclusive) needs love, one of my most desired things within eve!
I was thinking of placing the faction cruisers next to HACs and the faction frigs next to AF. Reason is simple. They are allready in the same price region and PVP is usually T2 stuff, at least below BC class ships.
I would make them require both shipclass skills to be at lvl 5, to make them really unique vessels and approach T2 skilltime while placing them next to their T2 counterparts. And give them a role which fits. Fe. the
Vigilant
Actually it's an inferior Deimos. It's gallente/minmatar and gallente lacks a real sniper hack. So why not make it a fast sniper which doesn't match the range of the Eagle, nor the dps of the muninn. But fast and with good tracking, probably for anti frigate sniping?
Gila
The mixed weapon bonus is lol. Especially when you consider the drake, navy caracal and cerberus allready beeing good and "nearly similar" turret boats. It's gallente/caldari, so what would be more logical to make it a shield tanked drone boat?
Cynabal
Why would anyone fly that except the great looks? Just buy a Vaga and be way faster, more dps, more HP, more versatility. It's Minmatar/Gallante, and we allready have the Vigilant as a sniper. So mabye we can get this baby as a fast deimos on projectiles? Not as much dps as a deimos and not as fast as a Vaga, but right in the middle.
Have no idea on the Ashimmu or Phantasm atm, can't fly ammar so i haven't bothered yet ^^
Navy Vexor
Myrm, Ishtar, Vexor Navy are quite close, so it's actually hard to find a role for the Vexor Navy Issue. 3 thoughts though.
1) bonus for electronic warefare drones, making it an ewar ship
2) nano'ed, like 2000 - 2500 m/s - less tank and dps than myrm/ishtar, but hard to catch
3) passive tank bonus [myrm active](maybe low sig as well cause slow with plates) or dps/falloff bonus to outperform the ishtar dps when going risky close range
Just some thoughs, would definately wan't to see faction revamped !
