It'd be nice to see one ship for each race left intact as an active brawler, but the other ship get a bit of love to make it tougher. Why do caldari and amarr get a monopoly on these bonuses, when they are far far far far far better for large gang situations. You have two commands for each race, so it makes sense to have one designed around small gangs and one designed for larger fleets. In the case of minmatar, you could leave the claymore with its active bonus, and give the sleip a strong passive tanking bonus.
Thats my only complaint, but the ships are pretty good otherwise.
No. The mimatar/gallente command ships get a very powerful bonus to skirmish links. In exchange, they are more fragile. Less useful in fleets, but good in gangs.
The amarr/caldari command ships get a very powerful bonus to EHP. In exchange, they get a bonus to the crappy info warfare links that are seldom even used.
Seems fair. Give the minmatar/gallente EHP bonuses, and no one will ever use amarr or caldari command ships. |

Also, since the link to the command ship model thread in the OP is non-existent, I'll say it here;
PLEASE do not change the model of the Absolution to the Harbinger model. The bloody chicken is an icon, and the Harb is one of the ugliest ships in the game. Only the caldari Turkey-with-a-Suitcase is worse. |

Maybe it's all an indirect nerf to skirmish links?
Maybe CCP wants you to chose;
1) Want bonused skirmish links so your fleet can be super fast, have uber range tackle and itty bitty sigs while it pwns all the things? Fine, here's your ship with it's crappy paper tank.
2) Want an epic fleet boosting brick that can withstand the alpha of ten thousand Arty Maelstroms? Fine, here's your heroic brick with it's crappy info war links that almost no one cares about. |
