Edited by: mchief117 on 04/11/2010 16:55:38 Class û capital
Hull û orca
Primary function û total fleet repair platform
Role bonus û able you deploy micro drone class drones
The dolphin is the industrialist answer to the ever growing need for any size fleet heavy repair platform. Utilizing the same drone control systems as carriers and modifying them for logistical usage allowing a fully skilled Dolphin pilot to field a full 20 logistics drone at any one time. There are some who few this aspect of the dolphin as nothing more than a glorified carrier, and they would be wrong, first the Dolphin is the only logistical ship capable of deploying Hull repair drones (classified as micro drone).
Hull repair drones vary vastly from shield or amour repair drone due to their small size and number, each ôdroneö is actually a collection of 25 smaller drones (again micro drone) that can enter a damaged ship and repair its hull from within (the actual visual image would be of a pod that connects with the shipÆs hull and then tiny drones move over it making repair like sparks). Additionally due to the sheer number of micro drones working on a ship they repair at a rate faster than that of the projected variety.
The Dolphin may also deploy Regenerator class micro drones, these drone use a sophisticated repair system to repair heat damage done to any module on there designated target. This comes at a cost that any ship under their effect loses 90% of their movement speed and any module being repaired is considered offline and the modules they pick to repair are done at random. You do not suffer the need to have 95% cap to online your modules once there repaired they online automatically. This process is also quite slow as the drone are making repairs at a larger than normal scale , often taking 3-4 minutes for one module, this is of course offset by them not requiring nanite paste to effect these repairs.
Secondly all the space normally used for storage has been replaced with special cargo bays specific for munitions and charges, with a total space of 2M M3 or more but unable to hold anything that not a ammunition or consumable charge ( scripts are allowed)and it does have a 20,000M3 regular cargo bay. It is this reason that this ship can use munitions micro drones, when a dolphin enters a fleet every fleet member can click on their current ammo stock in their own inventory and there will be a option to allow reload , with an additional option to a certain amount. if the yes option is selected when the dolphin use the munitions drone on that ship it will transfer 500 units at a time per drone up until the selected amount into the target ships hold from its own.
Lastly as any good protector knows your workers can get worn down from time to time, for this reason the dolphin can equip a high slot item known as the Drone assistance system. This device when active will automatically repair any drone with in 10K to full health as long as it is not actively taking damage.
Speed wise any remaining space on the ship has had extra thrusterÆs added making the ship about as fast as a slow BS in both terms of speed and warp timing.
Lastly the Dolphin is not designed for extended combat as it has only 4 turret/missile mounts, it does however have a very thick hide making difficult to destroy.

So, basically, a High Sec support carrier?
Doesn't sound bad.

If your a carebear about Orca Ganker pirates.
But the whole idea seems fluent. It will be quite a site seeing The 0rphanage outside Jita 4-4 with these proposed Dolphin ships.

needs ALOT of work! you havent thought it through enough imo. ok a repair ship.... infact your just suggesting a BS size logistic that has a special ability to repair heat damage... you should have put it that simply. like the drone idea.

1: to the best of my Knowlage an orca is a capital ship , just one with out a jump drive
2: I didnt add things like hull hp or resists as i have found that getting the core idea of a new ship/module works better than putting down ansolutly everything as theres allways some one who dislikes some part of your idea.
3: I created the Dolphin to be able to use the New Micro drones to fill a nich , there are currently no drones cappible of repairing Hull damage and no effective way to transfer ammo to friendly ships, i know the jet can works but you need to be in a safe space to do that.
and from what im told by my fleet mates nanite paste is more or less getting to the point of useless due to the shear volume you need to repair even small items.
4: as a partail bonus this will allso be a "my first carrier" ship , it is resounding that Nuwbs should not fly capitals yet there is no way for a new player to learn them with out getting into one which is contraditory. having a ships tat can field 20 drones ( logistic only) will be a steping stone
