Originally by: patrick726 CCP when are we going to see some faction Battlecruisers...there are faction cruisers,frigs,and BS.
Originally by: CCP Ytterbium We are already working on revamping 20 faction ships while adding 4 new navy battleships for Dominion; the changes are not even finalized and yet you are still thirsty for more?
Ummm, let me think for a sec... YES!
Originally by: CCP Ytterbium Ok then, let me teach you how NPC corporations build navy ships.
You will need:
* A standard battlecruiser hull * A 5cm long paint brush * A paint bucket filled with navy color of choice * A small rock pick * A small wood gavel
First, move your favorite battlecruiser in your hangar like that. See how I do it? Good. Now, take the small rock pick and wood gavel, and start carving an extra low/med/high-slot in the hull like this. Be careful, otherwise you may end cutting that antenna there, and you really don't want that to happen unless you want to wait twenty minutes to lock something with your ship.
When you have finished adding the slot of your choice, press and hold your left mouse bouton with one hand, and with the other, using the 5cm long paint brush, slowly start applying the camouflage skin theme of the chosen Empire Navy to the hull. Be gentle, otherwise you may overlap that bridge window or launch bay I point here and there, and may not be authorized to pilot the vessel, unless you previously obtained permit A 38 from CONCORD.
Do not release the left mouse button and do not spin the ship until the paintjob is dry, otherwise you are going to ruin it. It usually takes a few days before you can safely release the button, so be prepared.
When the paint is dry, don't forget the race navy decals on this spot here. Zoom out and voila! You are now the first owner of this magnificent <insert Battlecruiser name here> Navy Issue ship.
Well CCP paints its ships a bit differently I hear. You already have the art assets 99% done in the form of the current tier 2 hulls and textures so adding some faction paint is as easy as loading up the textures and retinting the relevant areas. With the labor and rl isk intensive work now done in a relative flash you can now grab a dev and have him look at the navy bc's role and how it should be fitted with relevant bonuses. As your ship balance team is already worked up and ready to gogogo with all the sprints you are doing they should already have a good idea of how to insert it into the current lineup of ships. Just have them do a quick brainstorm session(if there havent already been several;) and make a dedicated thread in the test server forums asking for feedback with no promises it will make it into Dominion but as a definite release for one of the incremental patchs a month or so down the line or as part of the next expansion. Its doable.
Originally by: CCP Ytterbium You can now safely take it into the nearest friendly low-security system and tell everyone in local to come have a look at your excellent craftmanship skills; with little luck the natives will happily celebrate the birth of your new vessel with plenty of explosive fireworks.
Enjoy .
You make this sound like a bad thing? This is why it needs to be a fw only navy ship as the buzz over the new ships is starting to get really loud as more and more ingame players are clued in by us forum whoors. Many of us are running missions like crazy to stock up on the new ships not to sell but the use. Its awesome tbh as I have never been around players so excited about an expansion in all my years of eve. Adding in the long wanted navy bc would simply make heads explode.

So, Ytterbium, is that how you guys transformed a scorpion hull's dronebay into one bigger than a domi's? And even more funny, waved your hands in the face of the backstory and common sense and put one just as big in a Gila cruiser?
I'm still reeling from the sonic and olfactory blast with which you guys created those proposed ships. |

Perhaps with a little horizontal swishing red light like on K.I.T.T from Night Rider. And a turbo boost button ofc.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-E8u2o48ts

Oh, that's right. I totally forgot that K.I.T.T. was the first Cylon.
But yes, I agree on the Fleet Hurricane's color. It should be so black your monitor turns off pixels in order to display it. And then blacker than that.

Whats that, you say, a Guristas battlecruiser that combines the Drake's tank and the Myrm's gank? Well, sure, I think that'd be just swell.

In my opinion all the ships ingame, which currently already have a Dronebay, should have larger ones, while still retaining the same Bandwidth, of course. It would add more and interesting utility-options to all the ships, instead of 99% 1-5 light drones+whatevercombatdronefitsinstill.

Please, add others TI and TII Destroyers before BCs.
Then, if you want, faction BC and TII BCs based on tier2 BC.

I don't get that argument. Gurista = part Gallente. In both cases, we have a pirate ship gets a +1 weapon system compared to what the racial ships already have — how is that strange? The Ishtar — a cruiser-class ship — already fits 375m¦ worth of drones, so it's not like that's unprecedented either.
As a Gallente pilot, I'm thrilled at the prospect of getting another ship like the Ishtar, even if it'll end up costing 3+ as much and not be quite as capable. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

Nah, we need t3 battlecruisers, it's silly to ask for a pre-defined stuff when you can build em any way you like.
Indeed. Adding any new ships is pointless nowadays.
Wait... its impossible to prenerf T3?... Pretty sure they can suck just like anything else...
And if you look at T3 now they already have near BC hp and similar agility so as far as i'm concerned we already have the T3 bc.

With the allready included mechanic of T3 Lego-Hulls there is no real reson, to repaint old hulls (while a Republic Hurrican would be real cool).
But I'd rather take T3 frigs and T3 BC :).
And please one T3 Mining (offensive, NOT mining drone. Laser for all!) and Hauling (propulsion) submodul for each (Frig, Cruiser, BC).
Mining offens modul: - 5 turret hardpoints - 6 highslots (tractor beem *g*) - 25m3 dronebay/band - additional CPU depending on race so they can fitt propper Tank (or mining ups) and 5 mining T2 laser - 15% more mining amount of mining laser and mining drones peer Submodul level
Hauler propulsion: - 3 low slot - -2 high slots (less offence but able to fitt some tank in med/low) - add 150 cargo space peer submodul level
Originally by: CCP Nozh Where do tech 3 ships fit in?The goal has always been to have them considerably cheap, around the price of tech 2 cruisers.

I was thinking time-line-wise
But then I'd still be wrong. Battlestar Galactica 1980 -> Knight Rider, 1982.
EDIT: I love that I got a facepalm for that, by the way. I just lost -100 dork cred.

I am not really waiting for faction bc's (though some the models have very few different ships under them (Myrmy), shame really).
T3 frigates would be more interesting (as would, for other people, T3 BS).

I see no reason not to do faction BC¦s.. BC¦s are among the most flown ships right now, and faction BC¦s would be great new toys for people to use outside of pve.
Seriously, a dev is all about how great the changed pirate faction BS¦s are. Well duh, how many can afford to fly a 1.5b rattlesnake (ship, no modules)? Not even considering that it will attract a lot of attention, the ship is no better than a faction fitted tier 3 BS..
I for one would really like to have some new stuff to fly/blow up, that doesn¦t require days of ratting/mining/plexing/missioning, just to afford the base hull.

Based on the EHP and physical size of a T3 cruiser, I would say they are T3 battlecruisers.

Yeah t3 agility, speed, buffer, gangmods, size, ect... They pretty much already handle like light high tech battlecruisers.
But yeah faction cane would be nice. The sleipnir already exists so I don't think we need a faction cyclone. On the other hand with current faction prices I'm not sure why I wouldn't fly the sleipnir over something simular that would cost about 300+ mil.
And +1 turret slot on the hurricane would suck balls. I fit 1 x medium neut and 1 gangmod. The nuet is mandatory protection against small things that might crawl under your guns. I would much rather see a navy cane wth another midslot.

wut? I don't want something that expensive that has no significant value in it's t1 variant. Frigates are the ticket, dessies are a subset of frigates (being small ships), and a bad one, let's stay closer to the original set.
That said, maybe a sub that halves your speed while doubling your guns would be what you want, then you'd have yours.
