HIC would fit blood raider theme much better imo.

Also when dafuq are we going to see another Gall ship as the tourney prize, plz give Serprentis / Gall ship with web and point bonus :P

I would give the HIC a reduction to cycle time and cap cost for warp disruption field generators so that it cycles every 5 seconds or something.

How about....give them a damage boost over their useless and totally inadequate regular versions like the phantasm?

I wanna make something very clear. Given the rarity of the AT prize ships they are not in any way suitable for combat outside of the tournament. Will some moron actually undock it on TQ and pick a fight. Probably....... But can we not design these ships with stupid in mind? Pretty please?

Don't get me wrong I love my Chameleon but I would much rather have had a Rook Gila hybrid than a Falcon Gila hybrid.

IMP
The Imp is an advanced Sansha's Nation Interceptor intended for use by forward parties of True Power's feared harvester squadrons. Able to penetrate even the most intense blockades, hunt down stragglers or simply hold ships while waiting for the main harvester force to arrive, the Imp is yet another case of Sansha's Nation technology improving on existing advanced hardware. Like most Sansha's Nation equipment the few captured examples of the Imp have proven to be readily adaptable for capsuleer use.

FIEND
The Fiend was originally designed by Sansha's Nation as a Heavy Interdiction Cruiser for use by elite harvester squadrons as a means to capture and board ships typically requiring large crew complements. The advanced interdiction technology the vessel is equipped with allows it to generate warp disruption fields without impairing its flight characteristics. This allows these formidable ships to easily chase down and hold even the fastest vessels in the larger size brackets. As with other Sansha's Nation equipment the handful of captured Fiends in commercial hands have proven to be adaptable for capsuleer use.

................................................... sigh its still a 150 bil hic that will insta pop to a titan DD

oooo since when? can motherships not send fighters on subcaps either? honest question havent done 0.0 fleet warfare in over a year.....

last honest question any chance to give it a "can be repped with bubble up" mode so in fleet fight it has a chance? Im just confused on what you see a HIC doing and having a chance to live with a 150 bil price tag?

and thank you for clarifying the role CCP sees of the HIC as the continuation of the joke bonus role the uniques get. Makes much more sense and yes if I get one I will never use it as a HIC.

Thank you for the clarification and again I apologize on my saltiness of losing nearly 50 bil in Faction Battleships to titan doomsdays

By the way, are mobility stats (namely, max speed) for ship with all V char or all 0?
