Here's a random idea I just had: instead of being primarily about repair, make it about cap transfer. If it wants to rep, it's got 10 drones for that. This way it can support a gang using heavy active tanks, or support other logi, encouraging teamwork and making strategy more complex. As always, devil is in the details, and it'll be a fine line between expanding fleet tactics and being overpowered. It sounds fun though, I would love to see small gang fights last more then 30 seconds.
Surely that's nothing you can't already do with an existing logi ship or two, without ruining your gang's mobility?
Also, rep drones are awful, they're really not going to be able to keep a gang going. This thing would pack 10 ogre IIs, not support.
Also, how is a droneboat capital style warfare? Doesn't teach you about fuel, cynos, jump range or hotdrops (though you would probably be on the recieving end of them a lot if you're stuck in one place with some kind of triage).
I guess you could rep highsec pos with it a bit easier, or run more missions? |

Support the no turrets aspect, but the ewar buff in battleship form is already supplied by the scorp. So making it like a giant gaudian with no turrets and 10 drones shouldn't be a problem. Also is a cruiser that can field 10 drones already in eve. It is called the gaurdian vexor. Why shouldn't there be a bs?
You do know that the guardian vexor is a special case, right? And that the few that remain will never undock? |
