Edited by: Mr Floppyknickers on 16/09/2005 01:21:02 Edited by: Mr Floppyknickers on 16/09/2005 01:20:22 How about it? Someone in another thread made this most excellent suggestion. In consideration, some other ships have two elite variants (inty's and AF's, HAC's and Supports and with upcoming patch BS's will get at least one) so why not give transport pilots a little love.
Nothing overpowered mind you. Give them 3/4 of a cruiser type grid and cruiser appropriate slot setups, use of medium and small guns/mods (weapons/bonus appropriate to race ofc), give drones bays where fitting, toss in a bonus for cloaked movement on one and make the other more of a defensive battle wagon for each race. It would sure encourage more low sec action and give the lone frig trying to take down a transport a reason to pause and consider, maybe even a cruiser, but definatly not a BS.
Personally I never miss a chance to pop rat friggies at gates and this would only make that more fun. So how much of a noob idea is it?

AFK Mining for the lose. That's the main problem.
If you gave them ~2 launcher slots, maybe.

That is an interesting idea. I think it would be fun.

K, I don't get this argument. You can already afk/macro in a BS, cruiser, indy. Sure there is more overall cargo space, but I imagine I can get a lot of cargo space outta my Domi with some named expanders to be just as comperable. And perhaps to address the issue they would have cargo space comparable to the blockade runner variants that currently exist.
And in all honestly, I don't believe people afkin' in indy's at .9 and up belts is crippling the game and should not be the measure for which a new and interesting class of ships is considered. Hell, give them a sector restriction, where they can olny operate in .8-.7 and lower.
Launchers would be appropriate of course on caldari ships but with the opinions for good or ill on missiles equal slots should be available.
for the record I would think no more than 4 highs, 4 meds, and 5 lows should be allowed.

why would anyone CARE about AFK mining in an indy if it has 2 turret slots?? bah you get twice as much mining for a few hours in your osprey(or other mining cruiser)
WHy care about AFK mining in an indy with all these AFK Macro miners running around in Coverters!
I dont support Macro mining/afk mining etc. primarily because i spend 6hrs/day doing nuthing but sitting in a belt, cleaning it out :) in 0.6-0.7 ofc :) Forget about the AFK miners :) get rid of the MACRO MINERS!! or at least let us KILL EM!
