I like the idustrials being changed, but I dont like these changes
CCP is telling me what ship to use for what activity more and more. I'm a bigger fan of me deciding that.
I would prefer to see each race having 3 different looking T1 industrials - Gallente loses 2, Amarr and Caldari gain 1.
The difference between the industrials would have 2 aspects; their race and their size
Version 1: Small, "fast" and least cargospace
Version 2: Average
Version 3: Big, even slower and most cargospace
Caldari & Minmatar: Shield and speed
Gallente and Amarr: Armor and HP
Since the discovery of sleepers and their technology, all empires have given the order to upgrade their most vulnerable ships with this new technology. Following the succes of the strategic cruisers.
Each industrial can now fit 2 industrial subsystems (more skills for the subsystem department )
Possible subsystems:
- specialized ammobay: reduces base cargocapacity with 500m3 and adds a 1000m3 bay that can only carry ammo fuel etc
- specialized ore bay: reduces ..... only ore
- advanced engine thrusters: reduces base cargocapacity with 500m3 and increases agility with 5%
- cool sounding engine subsystem: reduces... increases speed with 10%
other examples are subsystems that increase warpspeed, increase tractorspeed etc. The most important thing here is to keep the bonusses these subsystems provide to T1, from overpowering the T2 industrials' field of expertise.
Advantages:
- race will impact choice, but less than now and more based on their racial stats (slots, resists, race specialty in EVE)
- less need for crosstraining to get into the industrial you need
- more skills for the subsystem department
- skills allow specialization based on choice (you dont have to train them if the subsystems they unlock dont fit your needs)
- more integration of sleeper tech within the EVE universe and "story"
- specialization of industrial ships without forcing me to choose the ship CCP has chosen for me (sandbox anyone?)
- T2 industrials remain more specialized in their respective fields.
TL;DR
Dont worry, the message of this post requires a sound reading capability, meaning it would have been lost on you anyway. |
