because the inquisitor is reserved as rocket missile boat (because ccp said there'll be a rocket/missile frig for every race)
think bout it ;) Since that dev blog was released the plans for frigates have changed. The Tristan is now planned as a drone boat and the Inquisitor as a logi frigate instead of missiles. Both of those races have no other tech one missile bonused ships, so the decision was made that a logistics frigate would serve them better.
However, the Kestrel, Tristan, Breacher and Inqusitor also serves as the basis for the new stealth bombers. They are not the same hull anymore, but they are clearly enlarged derivates from the original hulls. So for the 3 other races, the stealhtbomber will be based of one of the combat frigates, while for the Amarr the stealh bomber will be based on the logistic frigate. That doesnt really makes sense. So in the interest of keeping a reasonable lore, I'd say switch the hulls.
If you are not doing it now, players will probably bug you about it for the next 5 years anyway  |

And they should probably have lower sensor strength to make jamming them more effective.
The new 2-lowslot griffin should be able to more or less permajam a logistc frigate or 3 |

So your opinion is that 2 poorly skilled tech 1 frigates should be able to easily kill without micromanaging modules, manual piloting or special tactics, a maxed out perfectly flown tech 2 frigate?
Or hell. Do you really want to argue that 3 poorly skilled tech 1 frigates, again, without excellent piloting or special tactics should be able to kill a cruiser specifically designed to kill frigates?
Are you new to eve?
Apparently, the end is near. |

2) The stealth bomber is going to need to be redesigned since it can't be based off a logi frig hull.
Why not?
You mean except from the obvious total ignorance of EVE lore?
Obvioulsy, you can do whatever you want. Change the stats, and you can make the Bantam into a Tech 2 titan. I'm sure you would agree with me that that would be stupid.
So - even if CCP doesnt seem all that concerned with preserving the lore anymore - at least have the courtesy not to destroy it.
Stealth bombers should be based on combat hulls, like they are today. Its a very easy way to fix this. Just replace the Tormentor with the Inqisitor hull (same stats), and use the Tormentor hull as the basis for the new logifrigate. Problem solved. Lore consistent. |
