no no no, no changing guristas ships. You make a whole new damn set of faction ships.
We have
Caldari/Amarr (Sansha)
Caldari/Gallente (Guristas)
Amarr/Gallente (SOE)
Amarr/Minmatar (Blood Raiders)
Minmatar/Gallente (Serpentis)
Minmatar/Gallente AGAIN (Angel)
Caldari only has 2. You know what that means:
Caldari/Minmatar (Mordu's Legion)
Web range bonus. Missile bonus. (I swear to god if you give it an ECM bonus or a TP bonus.) |

The devs sealed their fate with having to develop a minmatar/caldari mix when they started work on an amarr/gallente mix.
Not doing the minmatar/caldari mix at this point is just being sadistic towards caldari pilots. I want my pirate missile boat. And I don't want a haphazard rehash of guristas, which are already great with drones.
I'm pretty generous with compromising feature changes. This is one thing where its seriously providing fairness to training paths. If I train minmatar/caldari, i should be able to fly a pirate boat. Given that I would likely have trained some missiles while training up both minmatar and caldari (you know, since they both use missiles, and their other weapon types are not shared), it only makes sense to have missiles on a minmatar/caldari mix.
It also makes sense once lore is composed, since a combined effort between minmatar and caldari would involve tech they both utilize. (Shields and missiles)
However, on that note, I'm still saying it better have a useful ewar bonus. And it better not be ECM or target painting. |

Caldari/Minmatar (Mordu's Legion)
Web range bonus. Missile bonus. (I swear to god if you give it an ECM bonus or a TP bonus.) If we're gonna follow lore (like all other pirate ships do) then Mordu's Legion ships will be Caldari/Gallente.
We're not going to follow lore. We're going to make new lore. Just to make it possible to have mordu's legion be minmatar caldari.
You know why?
Because it requires the least effort and it would be awesome. Lore preventing the game from developing is stupid. |
