sure we have destroyers, but they are pure anti frig, id love to see corvetts, a small scale blokade runner, and the bulk of them having 2-3 higslots fitting cruiser size weapons, greater than frig amour and sheilds, but frigate speeds. these babys are frig - cruiser hybirds, someone took a cruisers engines, cut a pair of frigs up, wellded them into one and put a few guns on. their main purpos is a 1.5mill - 2mill platform for pvp. being able to fit these cruiser size guns with the spped they have means they can outrun bs while still givving a decent amount of damge, while being a target for frigs and a harder target for destroyers. im thinking the caldari one would look like
high slots - 3 missel slots - 2 gun slot - 2 med slot - 2 low - 1
pg and cpu to fit a few cruiser guns and a mwd
double frig hp base speed of 400ms
this is just a idea

I maybe wrong..but i thought that Corvettes are traditionally smaller than Frigates.
So maybe something sized between a Frig and a Shuttle.

Thought that to. Anyway we don't really need another class between frigates and cruisers, destroyers are enough imo. __________ Capacitor research |

Why does this sound like the tier 1 cruisers we already have?
I wouldn't mind a blockaid runner. A ship with a large hold (maybe ~1000m3), wicked speed, and a natural defense against warp scramblers, but no offensive capability beyond a pea shooter and some defenders. And maybe have a smuggling ship bonus. Like +1 Warp Core strength per level, and -15% chance of customs detection per level.
CCP could call it the Millenium Falcon series.

would make it much easier to deliver drugs to my agent with that kind of ship

Question2

I say,we screw the official navy ship classification and change the current setup.
What do we have now?
2 ships(frigs/destroyers) with small guns 2 ships(cruisers/battlecruisers) with med guns ONE ship(battleships) with large guns
I consider ints to be a sub-class of frigs just like assault frigs are a sub-class of frigs.
What would be perfect :
changing names of cruisers to CORVETTES.Changing names of battlecruisers to CRUISERS.Changing names of battleships to BATTLECRUISERS.
Then,add in battleships.
Now we got 2 ship types of each weapon class.Perfect for upcoming titan/dreadnaught XL turrets.

Read the first line of my post please.
If CCP did that they wouldnt be the first either.Freespace 2 had the battleships termed as destroyers and cruisers were actually the weakest capital ship in the game,followed by corvettes then destroyers.
And no one kicked up a large fuss about it,it was the marketing that killed the game.
Seriously no one should be that concerned on "hey but corvettes in real life are smaller than destroyers!",and instead,play the damn game

How about we just fix cruisers so that they aren't simply target practice for battleships ?

I think we need more varied ships within the current classes. I mean there are loads of newb ships, why not more battleships?

Actually as far as I know a Corvette was larger than a Fighter but smaller than a frigate and where designed to engage other Fighters/corvettes/Frigates. As we dont have any of those cept frig's (unless you want to call a drone a fighter) this idea seems pretty redundant.
It has allways puzzled me though why this game has a frig as the smallest ship class ? could we not have started in Fi's and worked up.... hmmm nvr mind

in my knowledge, i always thought frigates were quite big, and interceptors were quite puny and only good in packs. like the idea about that smuggleing ship, make it half cruiser and half indy. could make it pirate ship design as well. the thng about more variety for non noobs is a bit wrong. thing of all the heavy assult ships and logistics and ships like that. i'm sure ccp will soon make tech 2 destroyers and tech 2 battle cruisers as well. there is also the rumors and a few facts about some bigger ships comeing out. eg drednoughts and carriers (ships that can carry a big abould of xl drones) and of course titans!! so don't worry, there will be more ships on route. they just released transport ships as well. and who ever said there was lack of variety in ships is tlking s**t. 100+ ships now thats alot -------------------------- Amarr but not proud of it!

I'd much rather have a Camero. That way I could put it on top of some cargo containers in my front yard in HLW.

Bringing in other types of classes from diff games is kinda lame. That like me askin for Jamen Kell in a toxin bomb truck that flies around space and i can det and look like an enemy ship.  (\_/) (O.o) (> <) This is Bunny. Copy Bunny into your signature to help him on his way to world domination.

An El Camino would be more appropriate, I think.

i still feel the destroyer --> cruiser step is big, besides a class of cruisers toting a pair of bs guns could be very usefull, aespecaily the minne on for taking down other ships at long range, and the ammar one would allow them to cut through bs, while making them useless at much else.

AFAIK it goes like this:
P protrol boat C corvett F frigate DD destroyer CG cruiser BB small bs BBH big BS CV Aircraft carrier
This is a list of tonnage, the heavyest being the carrier, but there r some small carriers out there too this is WW2 types, there r newer typs out there atm! All that is truely urs, is whats in ur head. |

I believe frigates are FF's. A Frigate with a Helicopter would be FFH. Also, CG is Cruiser Guided Missile (FFG for a Guided missile frigate...or a Kestrel), I think Cruiser is CC...Light Cruiser CL. And CV, because I have this nugget of information, is Carrier Heavier Than Air (that's the V).
Star Fleet Battles uses DN for Dreadnought...which could work here.
I'd rather refer to BB's in Eve that way rather than BS (hate that)...but I guess people thing Blackbird then. <shrug> :D That's just my pet peeve.
Corvettes (which would be FS --> fast escort/corvette)are really just heavy fighters...Patrol boats could be corvettes.

I'd love to see corvettes as 60k ships with 1 high 2 mids and one low.
Theyd need a ridiculously small sig radius though.

some of those ships are obsolete as well, Battleships for example are of no use when typical engagment ranges are at least "over the horizon"
