Dear CCP Rise here you will find my recommandations for the "BOW HEAD" ,i hope you will take the time and effort to read my opinions and thoughts on this much waited ship

Let's start.
Ore freighter skill doesn't sound good to me, it's too much rebundant with Ore skill and Capital industrial ships.
For me the skill requirement should be :
-Advanced spaceship command to 5
- Ore skill to 3
-Capital industrial ship to 1
-Capital ship to 1 (for reference rorqual need the skills at 2 but use jump drive)
I think this way it does make much more sense than creating another skill for only one ship

There is currently no reason this ships doesn't have an ore bay ,it's an Ore ship after all.
-Add 75000 m3 ore bay

The cargo bay is a bit small in my opinion especially with 2 T2 bulkheads in the lows.
Cargo bay :10000 m3

There is no reason for the SMA to grew up with skills (it's not a balloon),this bonus is currently intended so please give us give the proper SMA size from the beginning.
-SMA 2.1Millions m3

This ship will draw attention of gankers (see the 30 page of whinning from CODE and BAT menbers) Give it a proper tank.
-New bonus 5 % to damage control effectiveness by level (it should just give the right amount of EHP this ship his lacking)

-There is no reason for the 90 % reduced jump fatigue regeneration bonus, this ship is much more a demilitarized carrier than anything else and carrier doesn't have this bonus.

-This ship is too slow is in this state, it ll be faster to move BS individualy.
-This ship lack a bit of CPU to fit T2 harderner or Invuln with a MWD.
-Lore wise i'm a bit dissapointed you didn't came with some sort of collaboration between Ore industries and Concord in response to an ever growing piracy in high sec.Make BP and Ship available trought concord LP Reward .

BOWHEAD

-Ore skill Bonus:
5% bonus to damage control effectiveness by level

-Capital industrial ship Bonus:
5% bonus to inertia modifier per level

-Capital ship Bonus :
10% to warp speed per level

-Role Bonus :
SMA Immune to cargo scanning

Slot layout: 0H, 3M, 3L, 3R; 0 turrets, 0 launchers
Fittings: 1350 PWG, 235 CPU
Defense (shields / armor / hull) : 21000 / 11000 / 39500
Capacitor (amount / recharge) : 3900 / 235000
Mobility (max velocity / agility / mass / warp speed / align time): 65 / .0675 / 640000000 / 1.37 / 59.89s
Drones (bandwidth / bay): 0 / 0
Targeting (max targeting range / Scan Resolution / Max Locked targets): 51.5km / 45 / 3
Capacity (cargo / ship maintenance array/ore bay): 10000 / 1800000 /75000
Sensor strength: 12
Signature radius: 3200

This way i like it much more, it does look like a Capital version of the ORCA and he's coherent with the Rorqual.

-Ehp should be around 550k to 580K, still gankable but not that easily,multiple wave will be needed to take it down,and that much EHP will force gankers to be much prepared and come with new strategies.

-SMA with the incoming change will drop ships but will be immune to cargo scan .Huge Ehp + SMA scan immunity =Risk ,Multiple Ships dropping from SMA = Reward

-Making both the Ship and the BP available trought Concord LP Store ,will give a decent price range for the ship and ensure ship availability on markets.

-Enhanced speed at the cost of a painful skill to train make it a viable alternative to move BS one by one.

-The increased SMA allow to carry 3 BS + a Logistic+a command ship + a scout of any type and race ,a nice easter eggs basket if you want my opinion.

Thanx you for the time and effort of reading this post, i hope this ship will find his niche aka "incursion all in one carrier"

This is like arguing with a brick.

You keep on going on about maths so lets see if you can follow these very easy sums.

one pilot in a bowhead can transport 3 battleships, lets assume each incursion runner owns two battleships and a logi. In a group of 20 you would use 15 bowheads to transport the battleships and logi and 5 pilots to fly a logi support when moving. To do this same move without the bowheads will require 3 trips. The bowheads just saved you a lot of time and by moving in a convoy they were all but invincible to gankers. Transporting your ships in this way is infact much safer than flying the battleships themselves as there is no force in high sec with the manpower or firepower to alpha something with the tank of a bowhead being supported with 5 logi.

So you make two trips rather than one. This isnt hard people.

so you're just whining for the sake of it, then?

The point of the ship is to make less trips. Last I looked two trips is still fewer than six or seven.

In what world do you live in? You are literally arguing that making two trips is more travel time than six or seven.

sure i've heard of them. but nobody's going to pod jump to a warp speed clone to move ships from one incursion site to another.
just like nobody's going to fit warp accelerators instead of a travel fit if they're traveling.

sure they could, but then we're back at risk vs convenience. you know, a choice, the thing ccp loves because that's what encourages interesting gameplay.

Assuming you are moving 30 jumps to a new spot then we get the sum of 90 jumps for the bowhead fleet vs 390 for manually piloting all the ships. Yes, the bowhead fleet is faster even without using any warp speed tools. On top of the faster speed of the operation you also have the fact that the bowhead fleet is effectivly unkillable thanks to having 200k more ehp than the battleships they carry and if you have a full incursion group moving you will have at least 10 logi in support.

You left out the three other ships from your list. Under your new list of just three battleships it would be just one trip of 30 jumps for the bowheads.

All you can see are the ships. Any mods on those ships cannot be scanned.

Or you can use some common sense and realise that when 40 people come after you screaming no fair I want to play alone isn't a valid tactic in a massively multiplayer online game

It's usually 2 BSs and 2 Logi ships but because NM and Vindi are slower than Machariel, i'll take your word it.
At the end, you won't have time to go and buy a pizza... but, enough to go and take a beer from the fridge.

No it can't. it CAN however move 12 times faster (webbing frigate) with more EHP (links) while having help if it gets ganked (reps).

Wrong, it is a multiplayer game. We can interact with you in space at any time in any way we wish. You have zero rights to be left alone.

AUTOMATED FORUMS WARNING: Poster is edging into territory he has no hope of understanding

this has been the automated forums warning protocol

You fundermentally do not understand the core mechanic of EVE. You are not safe in any space.

there are many possible reactions to having one's cognitive dissonance intersect poorly with reality

i see you have chosen the "plug own ears and hum loudly" option

"sandbox" does not mean "every possible permutation of how the game is perceived to operate should be enforced and protected"

it means "here are some loose guidelines and no discrete goal, have fun"
use of the phrase "sandbox" to try and justify your own cognitive dissonance is pretty much the weakest play in the book

okay, so by your definition, the sandbox should let me own every single resource and scrap of content in eve our in yand grub it all for myself, because it's what i want and it's a ssaaaaaaannnddbooxxxx mommy i want it i want it i want it

-The ship should be in the Interbus line

-Not the role of the ship

-Warp speed for a tugboat? Doesn't seem realistic and comparable to other T1 freighters or Orca.

-That will sure limit availability and won't add much to regular Industrialist players in Eve. So no.

-Why more CPU? Since suicide ganking we shouldn't discuss and now is not even an issue.

It should be, comparative to the 3 (probably T2 or faction) battleships that are it's cargo, easier to gank. And it should be easier to kill because if offers the immense time saving benefit of flying all of them simultaneously.

That should cost you something. And since it's really unfair to penalize speed since it exists to save time in the first place, that means the best place to pay this cost is in it's defenses.

375k with max tank fit seems fair to me. It could stand to go lower, imo, but it ought to be higher than a typical freighter.

Why should one player be able to tank the damage from 30+ players?
