Faction Tech 3 Shapeshifting Strategic Cruiser "Blood Legion" Cargo Bay Reprocessing Subsystem - Although this subsystem uses the same armor nano-assemblers as the Augmented Plating Subsystem, its function is entirely different. Captives and other human beings scooped from space (in the form of Pods, both Casuleer and regular Escape Pods as well as space suited individuals) are placed into the Ante-Chamber, Long metal pins pierce their flesh through the elbows and knees and affix them to the flensing tables ready for vivisection. Their clothing is burned from their bodies with a chemical laser, set to cease once non-organic material is has been removed. The tables are then carried carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort and past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, towards the rotating knives which begin the two hour long process of carefully and very slowly separating flesh from bone and pumps drain the fluids from the bodies and sorts them into their various categories. The blood pours down chutes into the collection tanks and the mangled flesh slurps into a matter compressor similar to that used for making Fuel Blocks. Using the theorised "shape-shifting" concept, the bay can be reconfigured to quickly crush and pulp the living captives into cubes if the pilot considers her ship to be in danger of being attacked by local enemies. Subsystem Skill Bonus: 10% Cargo Bonus per level for organic matter "You are even dumber than everyone says." - Kristopher Rocancourt Tell The Others

Amitious Turkey The Red Circle Inc. 118	Posted - 2013.06.10 17:35:00 - [38] - Quote I like this idea. With the proper restrictions it would also give 1-account wormhole dwellers like me a bit of extra flexibility. Wouldn't need a POS (or could go longer without one). When I first heard of t3's this is what I thought they would be anyway. I like to lick things. Haunting the forums since 03.
Andrea Griffin 484	Posted - 2013.06.10 17:38:00 - [39] - Quote I would like the capability. What I think people are asusming is that it will be an instant transformation. War Kitten wrote: OP, yes I too would love a cloaky interdiction nullified ship that instantly transformed into a gank-mobile once in the correct system, and then changed back to escape the gatecamps. As an example of someone who is rejecting the idea outright by making terrible assumptions. The transformation would (and should) have some drawbacks. For one, it should take some time. For another, there should be a restriction on active modules, and you shouldn't be able to dock or jump while changing, for example. A few limitations like that and this could be a very workable idea. CCP Sreegs is my favorite developer.
Darvaleth Sigma Progressive State State Section 9 297	Posted - 2013.06.10 17:48:00 - [40] - Quote What if one of the T3 ships had to take a "fitting" subsystem for each one the other T3 wants to change? Similar to a Carrier fitting system, except you can't refit out of "fitting" subs, nor fit into them, outside a station. The "fitting" subs would also give woefully low numbers of modules and give no bonuses to anything, making that ship very vulnerable, whilst allowing your T3 gang to be much more flexible. This way, a solo T3 ship can't screw you over, and if you find the fitting T3 then the rest are stuck. I'd see this being great for Wormholing, where the crew can "fit up" on the fitting ship, scan the system, then fit into cloak, scout, then fit into combat, and shoot. EDIT: By each sub, I mean they'd have to take Offensive fitting, defensive fitting, prop fitting etc. if his friends wanted to refit offensive, defensive, and prop. So you could go half and half to keep some vestige of effectiveness at being a ship in your own right whilst providing some refitting. EDIT 2: The "fitting" subs would also be very expensive, and would make the whole tactical T3 roam super-expensive because everyone needs multiple subs in cargo, along with other modules, to take advantage of it. Give a man a match and you warm him for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!
Stetson Eagle ROC Academy The ROC 41	Posted - 2013.06.10 19:15:00 - [41] - Quote Subsystems need to go. Just remove them, grant all role abilities to hull through subsystem skills, adjust base values to do all roles worse than t2. Then grant the ability to fit in space from limited cargohold. There you go, generalized shapeshifter that does everything on faction ship quality but worse than t2. Easy to balance since subsystems are out of the equation. Worthwile to fly because you can adjust fit between exploration, pve and pvp on the fly. Edit: t3 skill could reduce cap penalty for onlining new mods to make shapeshifting faster (still takes minutes realistically).

GÇó they restrict the generalization of t3 as you need to dock up before playing the other roles GÇó they add an unnecessary layer to the game balance GÇó they add an unnecessary layer to game complexity; less is more and fitting them is plain tedious GÇó they add an unnecessary layer of industry and tedious manufacturing GÇó they do not actually accomplish anything you could not do better by simply fitting more ships and swapping in station
Brujo Loco Brujeria Teologica 931	Posted - 2013.06.10 22:12:00 - [45] - Quote Came into thread expecting THIS ... left dissapointed, and I also enjoyed the background music ... if T3s came with music like that during reptilian shapeshifting I would buy all 4 racial ones.

It was also revealed that a World of Darkness MMORPG was already in the planning stages. You realise EVERY other gallente ship is named after greek mythology right? ... **** sake, its obvious to a friggin DOG that its named Proteus after, y'know, Proteus from greek myth. Gtfo with your vampire twilight crap.
Minty Aroma The Metalocalypse is Coming 6	Posted - 2013.06.10 23:04:00 - [48] - Quote What I would like to see is the T3 ships becoming able to take on multiple roles at the same time, but slightly weaker than any one T2 ship's role. Therefore there would be subsystems to make your T3 into a logistics recon ship, which would be weaker at either role than the T2 logistics or recon ship, but would be a pretty cool amalgamation of the 2 requiring new tactics to fly and counter. Then again, maybe EVE doesn't need something that will complicate it further!

The guy who was sitting next to me in the first nullsec round table who had obviously not had a shower since before boarding his flight to Iceland, you really stank. You know who you are.
Velarra 235	Posted - 2013.06.11 01:41:00 - [52] - Quote Would they require Energon cubes as fuel to transform? Would the visual changes be similar to the current Rorqual?
