Frigate Logistic ships
One of the most common items I see found in loot drops are small logistic items. Small remote armor reps, small energy transfers, small shield transfers. But there are no ships in game that can take advantage of these. Possibly another T2 alternate based upon the EWAR frigate hull is in order, or possibly a T2 version of the mining frigate?
ECCM support ship
Seems to me this would be a good Guristas faction ship to be out there. There are again modules that don't have a ship that has an advantage.
T2 Third tier Battleships
Mostly I just want to see an Abbadon in a Carthum skin, or a Maelstrom in a Core Complexion one. My suggestion would be for a command battleship, with a bonus much like the battlecruisers. Possibly call them flagships?
Exploration Cruiser
I think a SOE faction ship is in order here. Ship should get bonuses to run Analyzers and codebreakers with a bonus for scan strength of probes.
Gas Mining Cruiser
As a secondary idea it would be nice to see some faction ships engaged in industry to compete with ORE. More possibly from the DCM like the Orca design? Another side topic to explore is creating more variety of gas mining activities and products. Possibly some high sec LADAR sites for people to try out?
Anyhow, just food for thought.
Well, I support this, but I would say give the Industrial pilots a barge that specializes in gas harvesting, and it's T2 equivalent. I support the idea of bringing DCM into it to give ORE a bit of a run for their money. Hell, give the Indy pilots T3 barges.
But I would also like to see something along the lines of your Flagship idea, as a T2 Hyperion would just look sexy, maybe in a Roden Shipyards or CreoDron skin. The SoE cruiser for exploration is a nice idea, and why not also bring a deep space exploration ship into the fray, something that gets the bonuses, but can also be set up with a solid tank, or have an interdiction nullification system.
