Alright, I have finally updated and reworked the stats and details of these ships. I'd like to appoligize again for the incredibly slow nature i took while working on these things. I dont know how many of you know about the north, but we have been having pew pew out the butt lately, and i have been one busy panda.
I took the liberty of hyjacking the items database to make the following websites, i know they are crap and i coulda done better, but meh... sue me.
I introduced a new mod that only picket ships are able to use, entitled "Gravity Well Generator" and its skill book. Their stats and info can be found at these links:
Gravity Well Generator Gravity Well Generator Skill Book
And the two Picket Ships i currently have completed:
Aegis ( Caldari Picket Ship ) Sunder ( Gallente Picket Ship )
Please be constructive in your criticism. I'd also like to know if you think the ship is too easily skilled for.
/Siggy
Test Warp Disrupt Field...
Regarding the gravity well... almost dude, almost :P

Like I said before, a picket vessel has minimal armorment and armor. The main role of this class of ship is to jam enemy tracking and other electronic measures like warp scrams, nothing more. The ship would be very fast though. Limited armor and lots of electronic counter-measures and no weapons at all.

Originally by: Dryson Bennington Although a very ingenius concept we must first look at what a picket vessel's main role in fleet operations would be.
1.To actively search and defend against enemy ships of the same class -meaning their job would be that of disrupting any and all tracking from any type of ship- -in order to accomplish to almost all armourment and drones would need to be replaced with electronic hardware, as their main offensive and defensive suites would be electronical counter measures. Not bulky weapons modules or drone bays
In this role they would need to have gunships protecting them as they would be vaulable assets to the fleet.
2.In solo operation's meant to gather intel or disrupt communications they would need to have very fast engines and warp cores to get out of harms way fast.
These ships are not meant to duke it out in the front lines, these class of ship are meant to be used in a standoff role in a covert manner where they would need the protection of other ships.
You do have a point, though the op also calls them pocket capitals (i think) which is honestly a better name. If anythign I think eve NEEDS pocket capitals as it's a large jump from noncapital to capital ships, and since we already have supercaps why not pocket caps?

Not every class of vessel is meant to be a capital class vessel even though some vessels have the same characteristics as a capital class vessel. A capital class vessel is characterized by the following particulars: (This is based off of actual REAL world vessels)
1. Armor able to resist a sizeable round from a certain distance. (16" shell from ten or more miles away) 2. Armorment able to penetrate another vessel's hull where the round will infilict severe damage in the interior of the vessel. 3. The ability of the vessel to sustain herself for a certain amount of time at sea without being replenished. 4 The ability to engage at least two or more vessels in combat without escort and stay in the combat zone for more then five hours. 5. The ability to render useless ANY vessel that comes within the capital class vessel's range.
A prime example of a capital class vessel would be World War II Battleships.
Just do a search of Radar Picket Vessels or Radar Escort Vessels and thats what the premise for designing a picket vessel would be.
It would be illogical and cost restrictive to make a picket class vessel the same size as a BS or even a BC. Their job isnt that of a front line combat vessel. Making a vessel that would incorporate electronics as well as the ability of a battle wagon would be unfeasible.
The electronics of the picket vessel would be comparable to that of an aircraft carrier but without armorment or armor.
