Gracias. Trying to keep up with updates at work, the only ships I saw mentioned were the Mordu's. |

I think the characteristics of the faction are really weird anyway. Gallente/Caldari might make sense lorewise, but as far as the functionality of the ships is concerned (missiles and speed), Caldari (missiles) and Minmatar (speed) would've made lots more sense.
I swear CCP must mostly consist of Gallente pilots. Caldari-Minmatar would've made more sense, but the lore for Mordu's Legion is Caldari-Gallente, so... I missed the Twitch stream, and there still seems to be no info published. What was the special flavor given to the Mordu's ships? And am I justified in being disappointed about the Gallente/Caldari bonus (again)? |

long scram range (maybe all point range)
they will work as fast missile kiters.
edit- it must be a damn big bonus for the cruiser and BS, as even extended scram range for them is still brawling. hmmm EVE FAQ "7.2 CAN I AVOID PVP COMPLETELY?No; there are no systems or locations in New Eden where PvP may be completely avoided""So it will be up to a pilot to remain vigilant wherever they may be flying and be ready for anything at any time" |

Yes, I was a bit disappointed they didn't go with a Caldari-Minmatar racial line, but I guess the Caldari-Gallente lore is technically more accurate. Did I mention it's stealthy and black? I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week. |

Yes and no. They have a lot of room for combinations, but they don't have a lot of lore to back them. Take the thukkers for example, they are minmitar in origin but not of sovereignty. The thukkers roam around nullsec in giant caravans and made ships like the jump freighter (yes, the original JF tech). Saying that there will be 5 more sets of pirate ships just because of the race combinations you listed above is completely invalid. They could just as well release EOM ships (God those things are beautiful, but so few have seen them), or more thukker ships. |

Ninja Edit: To elaborate, the Rattle looks quite good as a brawler with torps and super-heavies. The Mordu's BS with a point boost is still probably going to be a, relative, brawler with either RHML's or long range torps. CCP has no clue what to do with missiles at range. At least IMO. |

I hope these have a ridonkulously low signature radius. Built-in cloaking would be awesome... it is a stealth ship after all, right?

i still liked the part when ccp stated those would have angel type agility with primary missles ( sounds like minmatar + caldari much ? ) only to hear that the racial will be gallente caldari ( lul woot ? ) again - there goes my dream of a 1.2k+ cruise dps ship |

They're nice and interesting ships nonetheless. But does anyone knows or even bother to read the history of the Mordus Legion and have you ask yourself why this new ships have bonuses for warp disruptors instead of ECM, the way that Mordus Legion truly is. I mean why bother to try to get centurion implants if your own racial ships are not gonna be able to effectively used them at all. I'll guess time will tell if a rebalance pass is needed for this pirate ships to properly go the Mordus way. Just a though...
Btw nice approach with the Mordus ship line, looking foward to see them in action and put them to the test... |

so the fact that its gallente and not minmatar means it doesnt do as much damage. rogic?

I honestly expected them to announce a Guristas carrier, what with all the news about Eve: Valkyrie.
What good are fighters if you have no power projection to speak of? I'd wager we're going to see one announced before long. |

no gallente based boat can ever hope to get that amount of damage....
Here is where they are probably trolling for even rattler fits that can break 1k....but they will say yeah but take away drones. Forgetting that other 1.2 k gun bs' often rely on drones to pad the score. They also forget these 1.2k beasts are heavily range dependent. Basically they want 1.2k at 150 km's. Even with missile mechanics that need love thats a lot of "sniping" damage and I just don't see that happening anytime soon.
I don't think we will see this min/cal combo they want tbh. Going through all the bonuses each races gives its hard as hell to avoid doubles of what already around for most "minmatar" designs that fall under the shield tank set up. All I see is speed and sig tank not accounted for. I cannot help but see balance issues with rides almost like a mach (in regards to its speed and sig tank ability) spamming cruise over 100kms. Even current gun machs have to get a bit close. If only to get in better falloff to not lose so much damage to falloff bleed off. |

Cruise even on unbounded hulls is still far reaching. I pyfa'd rohh with CLII and CN ammo on a rokh (no range boosting rigs and rokh gets no range boosting bonuses. ) and get at all skills 5 is 148 km's max range. I put some fury in as well. 111km.
These ranges are just a bit more than say....blasterthon/vindi who are usually brought up in paper tiger wars for high dps output. Torp damage wise that hits hard....yeah we can put that on the table. Guy in the pyramid wants this with cruise though. Just not seeing that. |

Completely true! I didn't mean that they should create more factions, just build upon what we already have to work with- there's still Ammatar, Intaki, EOM (CCP pls), Khanid, et cetera. They have a lot they could use still "A City made of Wood is built in the forest; A City made of Stone is built in the mountains; But a City made of Dreams....is built in heaven."

anyways if you would scroll a lil bit top ive stated this was my dream ship and as we all know dream usualy dont become reality |
