Harold Griffin	Posted - 2006.01.02 20:06:00 - [1] Well, I don't imagine I am the only one that has some goals and thinks "a ship that really suits me does <this> and <that>", but which ship does that the best? Obviously there can be more then one answer, but at least this thread will (hopefully) steer people into the right direction. If the idea of this thread is deemed stupid, then by all means let it go down into the forum listing to drown, after answering my question . ==== I'd like to fly a small/medium sized ship (frigate or cruiser) that can comes close to the enemy ship and just unloads hell with everything it has (preferably rockets or missiles). It only needs be able to only survive a few seconds, and then either warp out or the enemy should be dead, so it doesn't have to be able to tank for long. I think this sounds like an assault ship or heavy assault ship. But most that I've looked at are meant to be used in ranges higher then 10km, while I'd like to get closer ;). Any idea which ship (type) might fit me best? Thanks in advance.
Maya Rkell	Posted - 2006.01.02 20:11:00 - [2] Destroyer with close-range guns Warning: above post may contain traces of sarcasm. "Corpse cannot be fitted onto ship. Only hardware modules can be fitted."
Furion35	Posted - 2006.01.02 20:13:00 - [3] Vagabond?
Harold Griffin	Posted - 2006.01.02 20:17:00 - [4] Oh I should have said that I didn't really like Minmatar ship design. Hmm I might try destroyer... but only 1 missile hardpoint on the Cormorant... at least they are cheap so it doesn't hurt to try ;). Oh and of course if other people have difficulties choosing which ship is right for them, this thread is kinda meant for everyone in that position, not just me personally ;).
Rod Blaine	Posted - 2006.01.02 20:23:00 - [5] I want a ship that kills BS as easy as it kills cruisers and that can kill frigs quite easily too with the same fitting, that cant tank like hell, use some nifty drones while at it and can switch damage types so it pwns against any enemy equally regardless of resists. Oh, and it should be well-insurable. Pity that such an obviously overpowered ship doesn't exist isn't it ? _______________________________________________ Power to the players !
Tomias Itaraou	Posted - 2006.01.02 20:26:00 - [6] You mean a raven with precision cruise missiles?

Golden Helmet	Posted - 2006.01.02 21:06:00 - [8] frigs tend to be my dream ships (even though i'm currently training up the last skill i need to fly my cerberus, and i fly an armageddon primarily). their just soooo much fun to fly and fit (fitting ships is my absolute favorite thing to do in Eve). Frigates 4tw! Originally by: CCP Hammer Next patch we will make sure to boost Amarr and Nerf Caldari.
Sarmaul	Posted - 2006.01.02 21:25:00 - [9] Originally by: Rod Blaine I want a ship that kills BS as easy as it kills cruisers and that can kill frigs quite easily too with the same fitting, that cant tank like hell, use some nifty drones while at it and can switch damage types so it pwns against any enemy equally regardless of resists. Oh, and it should be well-insurable. Pity that such an obviously overpowered ship doesn't exist isn't it ? besides the well insurable, a vagabond can do pretty much that with expensive mods if setup correctly Originally by: 0Virtu0 Chuck Norris doesnt need different sized arms to beat up little kids, why should the Raven need different weapons to beat up frigs!?

Which I must ass was not over powered at all. Further the missile changes are nothing but a nerf to BS pilots and so on.
Lygos	Posted - 2006.01.02 22:40:00 - [11] 1)A Frigate and a Destroyer that are primarily droners (25m3) plus a utility slot. Also, make small remote reps not use half one's cap and extend range. 2)A zerg ship type which, while normally weak, gets passive stacking boosts from similar ship types with little or no stacking penalty. 3)An anti-zerg ship type which passively negates some boosts of the opposite faction. Preferably, roll this into #2. 4)A superman ship that only works well near yellow suns. Eunoia: The persistent suspicion that the universe is secretly conspiring to quietly improve your life.
Sirokko	Posted - 2006.01.02 23:21:00 - [12] A claw with a 4-3-3 layout.
Wee Dave	Posted - 2006.01.03 01:25:00 - [13] Industrial with 1000-2000 m3 of cargo capacity that can fit a Cov Ops Cloak.
Hamatitio	Posted - 2006.01.03 01:30:00 - [14] A ship that is lag proof. ----
Aeaus	Posted - 2006.01.03 01:32:00 - [15] I want a freighter with a jump drive that can also scoop from space. Cargo space of 75,000m3 would be just great =p
Wesley Harding	Posted - 2006.01.03 02:55:00 - [16] An Industrial class ship that was Battleship size would be nice.

Any idea which ship (type) might fit me best? Thanks in advance. Sounds to me like you need an interceptor, maybe a crow with rockets.
Hllaxiu	Posted - 2006.01.03 03:13:00 - [18] Battleship sized strike carrier that uses stargates and can deploy 3 fighters. Would be a lovely toy.
Kurenin	Posted - 2006.01.03 04:02:00 - [19] I would like a 7th Amarr frigate. Non sucky Amarr AF's. An Amarr ship that can fit beams. Annnnnnnnnd, a crow with +50% warp scrambling strength per ceptor level so my alt doesn't need -4. ;\|
Altrex Stoppel	Posted - 2006.01.03 05:53:00 - [20] Originally by: Lygos 1 4)A superman ship that only works well near yellow suns. Actually it would be cool if minmataar went faster closer to a sun cause of thoe weird sails
Phoenicia	Posted - 2006.01.03 06:27:00 - [21] I want my suggestion for a Black Ops Cruiser; a ship that can cloak and "launch" boarding parties at the enemy vessel, with the option of "offlining" or even "destroying" a number of modules as you launch them. Higher skills allow for the temporary disabling of the target's warp core. If the boarding party thing were hard to implement, perhaps a precision cruiser that can target specific modules and destroy them well before the opponent's tank ran out.

Winston VanSantz	Posted - 2006.01.03 06:30:00 - [22] A suicide mass-kill doomsday device that would kill everything in a solarsystem and lock out all gate access for 48 hours.
Stribog	Posted - 2006.01.03 09:10:00 - [23] Originally by: Kurenin I would like a 7th Amarr frigate. QFT
Longasc	Posted - 2006.01.03 09:38:00 - [24] I want a 2nd Medslot for the Retribution and I would stop complaining for a long time because I would be drooling in joy.
Thor Darkwing	Posted - 2006.01.03 11:14:00 - [25] Take a Apoc in your left hand, and a dominix in you right.. can you visualise that? now, put your hands together=) now you have the Tier 3 amarr BS that WILL (you hear that ccp! ;)) come with KALI Less firepowe then the apoc, just a 4-5 megapulses fitable, the same armor tank and a slightly smaller Dbay then the domi. ahh... the joy...
Ithildin	Posted - 2006.01.03 11:25:00 - [26] I want a Gallente/Amarr line of faction ships. We're also missing a Cald/Minm ship line, bu that one isn't interesting at all. We need imperialist hippies, dammit! Originally by: Thor Darkwing Take a Apoc in your left hand, and a dominix in you right.. can you visualise that? now, put your hands together=) now you have the Tier 3 amarr BS that WILL (you hear that ccp! ;)) come with KALI Less firepowe then the apoc, just a 4-5 megapulses fitable, the same armor tank and a slightly smaller Dbay then the domi. ahh... the joy... I can visualize it. It's a ship looking like a brown ugly duck, only not fully constructed. I has a +5% hybrid damage bonus and a -10% cap use bonus. It also has too little powergrid to use it's 7 turret slots, and inspite of having an extreme amount of low slots and armour, it's supposed to be a shield tanker... And it doesn't have a very large drone bay, around 300 or so. Stop blasphemizing! Actually, if you extrapolate from other ship design, CCP would have to do some redesign to both the Amarr and Gallente navy - boosting the Dominix to Tier 2, boosting Armageddon to tier 2 and Apoc to tier 3 in order to fit a slightly subpar Amarrian drone carrier as tier 1. The Amarrian ship line is a bit unimaginative, but I suspect from TomB's (or was it Tux or Ov?) comment about there "being room for a third battleship" that the third one is going to be more unique and a drone battleship has been done. Two things are probably set in stone, however, and that is a Gallente sensor damper and a Caldari rail sniper. The language filter needs an update.

MuffinsRevenger	Posted - 2006.01.03 11:45:00 - [27] Originally by: Hllaxiu Battleship sized strike carrier that uses stargates and can deploy 3 fighters. Would be a lovely toy. one that didden't require everything to l5? like interfacting and bs to four? yes please that woud be quite awsome
Sarah Aubry	Posted - 2006.01.03 11:59:00 - [28] Something cool for the newer players. Enough of this Tech 2 stuff thats identical to tech 1 with a different paint job! I want some entirely new ships!
Merv Tring	Posted - 2006.01.03 12:07:00 - [29] Edited by: Merv Tring on 03/01/2006 12:07:21 The Amarr Tier 3 BS will be Khanid. It'll have 7 high slots, 5 missile and 4 turret HPs. The bonus will be to Large Energy Turret cap use and EM missle damage. ---------------------------------- "Out ride the sons of Terra, Far Drives the thundring jet, Up leaps the race of Earthmen, Out, far, and onward yet-"
Ithildin	Posted - 2006.01.03 12:32:00 - [30] Originally by: Harold Griffin Edited by: Harold Griffin on 03/01/2006 12:29:52 Erm, I think people have misunderstood what I meant the thread for. It is meant for people to find which ship that is currently in the game fits them best. Ok, then. Moros. I can fly it in about a month, and I've got one waiting for me. Also going to get Thanatos, though it'll take a bit longer, though I have one waiting for me. The language filter needs an update.
