Dragonwell Tactical Trading Partnership	Posted - 2009.12.15 18:48:00 - [1] ...wtb: more unique ships like this and the Apotheosis. Ships that are made by off-the-wall corporations like Intaki Syndicate and have some unique design and function, like the Zephyr does. People have gone back and forth about the idea of every race having one or two unique ship classes, and Nova Fox can tell you all about the idea of having dedicated SoE science ships. To be blunt, the idea behind the Zephyr is made of win, and I'd love to see more of this in the future. Would be great if there was a limited way to get more of something like the Zephyr. LP-store BPCs for example. Nothing that would allow for mass production (ala Zephyr's description.) -deposits 2c- -DW Even the greatest peak Will one day wear to nothing Even the deepest sea Will one day dry to dust

chadsshop	Posted - 2009.12.15 19:18:00 - [3] Id like to see maybe 1 new ship every 1-2 months.. not game changing/overpowered ships.. just unique in design and purpose.. id love to see.. - scout/travel ship, basicly a shuttle, no slots.. but with some insane speeds ..maybe 3-4km/s - Hi-sec transport something in between industrials and freighters, with no slots - low lvl command ship, a cruiser that grants a small bonus to the gang.. 2-5% hp etc.. does not stack with command ships - a salvage destroyer, with a little added tractorbeam range and a bonus to salvagers and cargo - smuggler ship, frigate hull.. with an added chance of not beeing catched by customs - ecm-drone ship, frig/cruiser hull with room for 5 light ecm drones, and added bonuses. for small scale pvp - ship with bunuses to tracking links/remote sensor boosters as such ships with single roles, and maybe quite fragile.. are only given out once to each account.. i dont see it as gamebraking

They are either cheap reskins of existing models or require actual effort. CCP is notoriously reluctant to make new designs, since the people doing them seem to be always busy with other projects. That required effort means forget about your ship/month fantasy. I don't really see why you wouldn't want to make some of the ships on your list into regular ships anyway, instead of one per account gifts.

Yeah, just look at the Interbus Shuttle, pretty lame considering it was part of a limited edition game box release. A repainted Gallente Shuttle :/

Guillame Herschel Gallente NME1	Posted - 2009.12.15 20:40:00 - [8] Edited by: Guillame Herschel on 15/12/2009 20:40:40 Originally by: chadsshop - Hi-sec transport something in between industrials and freighters, with no slots Or just upgrade industrials to get a much larger cargo boost per level, so that at level 5, the industrials fill this role. Quote: - low lvl command ship, a cruiser that grants a small bonus to the gang.. 2-5% hp etc.. does not stack with command ships Command ships already don't stack with each other. Whichever valid booster has the best bonus, is the one whose boost is applied. But I'd like to see different boosts than what the existing CS do. 5% Falloff for the Minmatar, 5% Optimal for the Amarr, 5% missile Velocity for the Caldari, and 5% Drone damage for the Gallente. Quote: - smuggler ship, frigate hull.. with an added chance of not beeing catched by customs Or just make my devhax Black Market Trading skill work again. Maybe it never worked, but it's no longer in the game today. Quote: - ship with bonuses to tracking links/remote sensor boosters The Minmatar and Gallente logistics already have a bonus to tracking links, but remote sensor booster bonuses would be fan-frickin-tastic. *-- He said "The President is near."*

Cypherous Minmatar Liberty Rogues Rally Against Evil	Posted - 2009.12.15 21:56:00 - [10] I must have missed something what's a Zephyr? Rally Against Evil Site

Taedrin Gallente The Green Cross DEFI4NT	Posted - 2009.12.15 22:44:00 - [11] Originally by: Cypherous I must have missed something what's a Zephyr? Enjoy Essentially it is a free probing frigate, which does not get attacked by NPCs in the same way that they don't attack pods. ---------- There is always a choice. The choice might not be easy, nor simple, nor the options be what you desire - but, nevertheless, the choice is there to be made.
Simeon Tor	Posted - 2009.12.15 22:55:00 - [12] Originally by: Taedrin Essentially it is a free probing frigate, which does not get attacked by NPCs in the same way that they don't attack pods. You should really be more specific, otherwhise we'll get lots of whining upon release. NPC's won't attack in WH space, but everywhere else it's just a normal ship.
Cypherous Minmatar Liberty Rogues Rally Against Evil	Posted - 2009.12.15 23:39:00 - [13] Cool any other stats on it, will it have any slots at all apart from its 1 high slot for its special probe launcher, will it have a spare slot and enough CPU to fit a proto cloak? Being immune to sleeper NPC's is one thing but you kinda need to be able to hide from other players too >.> Maybe give it a high slot with a cloak bonus that gives it just enough CPU to fit cloaks but not anything else :) Rally Against Evil Site

To be even more specific Sleepers will not attack it. Sounds like any other NPC will have at it if they see it. -------------------------------------------------- "Of course," said my grandfather, pulling a gun from his belt as he stepped from the Time Machine, "there's no paradox if I shoot you!"

Thats it. Its been linked ingame a couple of times. Originally by: Dirk Magnum I've become gay for Mark Harmon despite my initial reservations about the show NCIS but nobody will ever know
Nota Niceone B4D W0LF Undivided	Posted - 2009.12.16 15:46:00 - [16] Originally by: chadsshop - low lvl command ship, a cruiser that grants a small bonus to the gang.. 2-5% hp etc.. does not stack with command ships Like any of the t3 cruisers with the right subsystem....

Which was, having someone warp in on a lone Zephyr in a WH and find that it is surrounded by a few Sleeper BS's, cruisers, and warp scramming frigs Slade Originally by: Niccolado Starwalker Please go sit in the corner, and dont forget to don the shame-on-you-hat! ≡v≡
Donatien de'Sade Ars Notoria	Posted - 2009.12.16 15:57:00 - [18] The Apotheosis was a SOCT frigate turned into a shuttle (you can see the gun mounts) ----------------------------------------------------------- In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move
Derek Caldari Intergalactic Combined Technologies The Chamber of Commerce	Posted - 2009.12.16 16:13:00 - [19] Hey CCP, just go ahead and make me Jovian, all I want for christmas, u know u want to :)
Mister Xerox	Posted - 2009.12.16 18:01:00 - [20] Originally by: Zakarazor In light of the zephyr i will buy a bunch of T1 fit destroyers and park myself outside a market hub station Well, the Zephyr has an inertia mod of 1000. A shuttle is 1 A frigate (Rifter) is 2.15 some change, and it just goes down from there. Think you can catch this thing before it warps?

Higher inertia modifier is worse for your ship, all things being equal. However, inertia modifier alone means nothing. You also need to take into account mass.
Ceti Lomax Minmatar Encina Technologies Namtz' aar K'in	Posted - 2009.12.16 19:54:00 - [23] If the Zephyr really has a "tiny sensor footprint", it's going to be very hard to target, and very difficult to scan down at a safe spot. Of course, it could still be smartbomb fodder.

You'd have some more goals then ----------- I think, therefore I'm single. New projectile damage PDF Alliance creation service
Kyra Felann Gallente Noctis Fleet Technologies	Posted - 2009.12.16 20:59:00 - [26] 110% agree. I'd love to see all kinds of weird ships designed by entities other than the main factions. I'd like to see science ships, new and different types of shuttles, hell, even garbage scows, I just want to see new types of interesting ships. I'm not saying that we shouldn't get them as special presents, because that's cool too, I'm just saying I'd like to see more ships that aren't necessarily designed by major factions and aren't necessarily useful in the normal roles of combat, hauling, or mining. I think they'd be fun and add immersion and flavor. I also support each faction having a few unique ship-types or overall more variation between the main four factions. I'll probably never use the zephy for its intended role, since I'd probably eventually lose it and as a compulsive collector, that'd make me a sad panda, so I'll probably just keep in my hangar as a museum piece like my Apotheosis.
isAzmodeus Low Security Military Excursions	Posted - 2009.12.16 21:34:00 - [27] I like the idea of the Zephyr, but I'd also like to see a re-skinned version available for production after a limited time (6 months to a year). This is the perfect ship for new players to try out wormholes, and more people exploring other parts of the game (especially parts that lead to PVP) is good for Eve. So, keep the Zephyr exclusive, but make a slightly uglier version for future players. Either introduce the T1 BPO, make it inventable from shuttle BPOs, or have BPCs drop from exploration (maybe the exploration tutorial). --------------------------------- The Seven- Blowing up someone near you.
Dretzle Omega Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2009.12.16 21:59:00 - [28] Originally by: isAzmodeus make it inventable from shuttle BPOs Ooo... have we discovered the "T2 shuttle" that is not interceptors? Very nice.
