This is a simple idea for a new class of Command ships based off of the Tier 3 battleship. Now before everyone freaks out and starts spaming me with how much it would do this or that, I'm just putting forth the idea, that is all.
What purpose would it serve to gap? What niche would this ship fit in, why it would be simple, its a bigger version and slightly more survivable form of the basic command ship. What i was intending to do with it is make Battleships combat effective against other T2 ships like Heavy Assault Ships and Command Ships, but at the same time don't make them instant wind buttons for eve.

Flagship Flagships are designed for use in large fleet combat situations, Designed to be the central command vessel for entire fleets in a single system. They relay on their massive defenses to make sure that they stay in the fight and support the fleet for as long as possible. Ships of these types are expensive to field but give a fleet unprecedented tactical advantages. Not to mention superior firepower and combat capabilities.

The 5% reduction to laser cap on the Requiem should be 10%, that's the standard for that bonus. Also, the powergrid on both of these ships should be 21000, not 2100.
Both of these ships are scary - Abaddon with 8 lows and a rate of fire bonus, with or without the -10% to cap/level? Or an Abaddon with launchers (no cap use) and 5 mid slots, and +50% armor?
I'd hate to run into any of the Flagships (for any race) by myself in probably any ship. I think it's likely your designs are overpowered - Command ships aren't, because they don't do battleship level damage. These things surpass battleship damage and tank and provide bonuses on top of it...

Edited by: Korran Minare on 13/12/2007 22:24:49 very very well thought out and laid out. /signed
Although the Drone bandwith on the CreoDrone ship should be 125 mgbits/sec and drone bay should be 125m3 to start with due to it being made by CreoDrone as they are the big drone company, otherwise these things would be wicked on the battlefield

My appologies, the abaddon should say 21000 power grid. Th reason i didn't want to give the the CreDron ship more Mgbits/sec than 100 was to prevent it from being the gank ship of the world. With 125 it could field nothing but heavies, so instead i gave it a sustanible flow of drones.
And yes my intention was to bridge the gap between Command ships and Capital class ships. The combat ready one for dreads, and the electronics one for carriers.

I would like to avoid making the be all end all ship, maybe take on two Battleships at once and have a good chance of comming out on top. Or even two other command ships, but not be a fleet destroying solo ship. Thats why i left all the fitting stats the way they were, so people don't build instant win ships unless they dump a load of cash into the ship.
And Here is the suggested Skill tree for the Flagship. Of course its going to have to change per the ship and the requirements there of.
Primary Skill required > Heavy Command Ship I -> Battleship V -> Command Ship IV -> Spaceship Command V --> Heavy Assault Ship IV --> Cruiser V ---> Assault Ship IV ---> Frigate V
Secondary Skill required > Leadership V -> Weapon Upgrade V -> Advanced Weapon Upgrade III --> Mechanics V --> Engineering V --> Gunnery/Missle V
Tertiary Skill required > Navigation V > Evasive Maneuvering V > Long Ranger Targeting V > Targeting V

I would consider adding the following skill requirements to these Behemoths.
Warfare Link Specialist V Fleet Command I - Wing Command V
This would make the ships become what it really should be and that's a Fleet Ship.
No-one will train Leadership V, Wing Command V, Warfare Link Specialist V and Fleet Command if they're not going to be leading a fleet. It will make them fulfill a role as opposed to just being bigger and better battleships.
Something to think about at least.

Edited by: Rjaiajik Kajvoril on 13/12/2007 23:23:30 I hope CCP takes a serious look at this topic now because honestly this is one of the best ideas I've seen in this forum in a good long while.
This will make fleet warfare more tactical, something that CCP have always said they have wanted and provide an end point other than a capital ship for someone to aim for.
PS: Kudos on the names. Very nice. I particularly like the Amarr names, as an Amarr pilot I feel the names have to feel just right, and these certainly do.

Edited by: Sanctus Maleficus on 13/12/2007 23:36:03 I like this idea alot.
I do have a few suggestions. First of all, as with T2 BC's, the two command ships should differ in their skill requirements. The Fleet style command ships should lean more on leadership skills, while the more combat oriented ships should lean more on combat skills, of course.
Also, I think it would be nice if the Fleet-style ones had a better bonus to gang modules.
Something like: 5% bonus to <race-related> warfare link modules per level, 2% bonus to <another races> warfare link modules per level. May run 5 modules at one time.
I think these ships should tank like CRAZY but not really deal out too much damage (they wont with that many gang mods running anyway). I think they should be at that grey area of where they're valuable enough to call primary, but its ALMOST not worth it because of how tough they are.

[17]
this was exactly my intention, they are tough, but not imortal. As far as DPS they are about 15% better then standard Battleship and about 10% more than a Command Ship.
I was going to try and do all the skill requirements for all of the ships but as it took me about 6 hours of calculating all the stats based off of the Battle Cruiser to Command Ship leap. And doing that for all the races plus balancing bonuses . I decided to just do basic skills that prity much all of the Heavy Command Ships would need. I'll have the full skill requirements that i can come up with as soon as i have free time.
Thanks for the complement on the names. The only one im not happy with is the Minmatar fleet ship, the Halbred just does not seem to do it justice.. was gonna call it the Standard, as in Battle Standard. But alass i went with Halbred for some reason.

I actually agree with the warfare link module idea. I think it would make them yet more specialised.
Maybe have the following as the Flagship bonuses for each race.
Amarr - +20% to Armoured Warfare skill bonus per level. 5% bonus to Armoured Warfare link modules per level.
Caldari - +20% to Siege Warfare skill bonus per level. 5% bonus to Siege Warfare link modules per level.
Gellente - +20% to Information Warfare skill bonus per level. 5% bonus to Information Warfare link modules per level.
Minmatar - +20% to Skirmish Warfare skill bonus per level. 5% bonus to Skirmish Warfare link modules per level.
If you had the skill Flagship V (I think a better name than Heavy Command Ship V). You would be getting double the bonus for your racial warfare skill and a 25% bonus to your racial warfare link modules, making your race now come into play a little more as well.
What do people think. Interesting change?

Perhaps the name Ensign would work. It's the name for the flag that a standard bearer carries into war.

Well it's standardized so it's not exactly unbalancing for any one race and it gives massive fleet bonuses which is what a fleet ship should do.
Example.
Having any other ship leading an Amarr fleet into battle with full Armoured Warfare skill will provide a bonus, passed down to the Wingmen of +10% to Armour HP. If he's in a flagship this becomes a +20% to Armour HP bonus.
Now unless the Wingmen are also in Flagships the Squad Commanders and normal Soilders will still only be getting +10% to Armour HP (assuming the Wingmen also have that same skill).
I can see it being a big advantage, but not hugely unbalancing. Also it stops the Flagship from being a better damage dealer than the Battleships. It should lead by moral not superior firepower. It should make the whole fleet as a whole seem better and more powerful, not just be a scary big ship in the middle that everyone has to gank.
That's just my opinion though. I think it would be very interesting to see if they would work. Especially as it would be impossible to get all 4 racial bonuses on any one fleet. Only one guy can lead the fleet so only one Flagship can pass on the bonuses, meaning you have to choose.
It'll add a new dynamic I think.

Good point, but i think the way i have setup the ships will make it easier for CCP to look at and consider. Besides if trends in pricing for tech 2 ships are to be continued. You are looking at a 500,000,000isk to 750,000,000isk ship. So even more exclusive, but priced right between a tier 3 Battleship (180,000,000isk Abaddon) and a Dreadnought (about 1,000,000,000isk Revelation) of course these pricea are aproximate and subject to huge variability.

I would value them at the 350-550mil ISK mark based on capabilities and use. Fleet ships costing more than that would be too big an investment. Besides the real investment isn't the ISK it's the time spent on all those skills. So many level 5 skills, you'd be looking at spending 200+ days training to get one of those ships... that's pretty close to the training time needed for a dreadnought.
These ships don't need to be expensive because it would take someone of a specific drive to want to go for them. A normal lone person would be more likely to train for a dreadnought or carrier as they have more PvP/Fleet/Corp potential for only another month spent training.
Really it's a moot point though as I'm sure CCP would price it up themselves based on a much more sophisticated equation.

ok i can understand that, but if you keep it at 100, then a standard T1 Domi can field more drones than this one and out damage it. However by giving it 125 then it could field the same ammount as a domi but still only be able to have 2 flights of heavies with skills maxed by the way and that would take time. Or swap hulls and have the CreoDrone ship be based off of the Domi hull instead of the Hyperion, thoughts??

As far as hull choice, i wanted to keep it in line with other T2 ships of the same type. I would consider doing the upgrade on the Artimus to 125m^3 and 125 Mgbits/sec but i don't want them to become instant gank mobiles that rule everything. Keeping the ship from having the massive wing of drones and ensuring a very good tank makes sure the ship survives longer to do its job in supporting the other ships in its fleet.
The Dominix is already used in the sin. wanted to do it for the Tier 3 battleships.

With all fairness, the Artimus is supposed to be a tech 2 Gellente battleship. If there's one thing that Gellente do better than anyone else it's drones and considering this ship is actually designed by a drone manufacturing company it would make sense that it was better at using drones than any other Flagship. It doesn't have to be perfect. It having only enough room for one set of Heavy drones would be good, but being able to actually field a full set of Heavies makes sense.

Primary Skill required > Heavy Command Ships I ->Command Ships IV -->Battlecruisers V --->Spaceship Command IV -->Warfare Link Specialist IV --->Leadership V -->Spaceship Command V (up to here, it's the command ships skill tree) (from here, the other needed skills for Heavy Command ships skill, anythign can be added) ->Fleet Command IV (as being a flagship) -->Wing Command V --->Leadership V ->Warfare link specialist V (as being a big link ship) -->Leadership V (Can add other things from AWU 5 to advanced spaceship command, but this doesn't sound too releveant)
(This is the Battleship 5 requirement which is different on every heavy command ship) Secondary skill required >Racial Battleship V ->Spaceship command IV ->Racial cruiser IV -->Spaceship command III -->Racial frigate IV --->Spaceship command I
Tertiary Skill required (the field/fleet command ship difference, one level higher than the command ship) >Logistics V ->Spaceship Command III ->Signature Analysis V -->Electronics I ->Long Range Targeting V -->Electronics II
OR
>Heavy Assault Ships V ->Assault Ships IV -->Spaceship Command III -->Engineering V -->Mechanic V ->Weapon Upgrades V -->Gunnery II ->Spaceship Command V

extra 5% bonus for range at rokh hull is better can be changed to 5% damage. its has already very long range so no need 1 more bonus.

Edited by: 7shining7one7 on 14/12/2007 12:10:57 sounds like a great idea. nice writeup.
if ccp picked up quicker on some of the ideas in the forums from time to time, and discarded the undocumented epic whine posts, eve would be 10x better than it currently is.
oh yeah and they need to stop fracking trying to making another game untill eve is a LOT better..

Hmmm?
Yes, I'm also on the band wagon thinking this is a very good idea. Let us hope the teflon-heads in the CCP are taking a good look at this thread and playing with it as a possibility.
ThereÆs good reasoning for this idea and I'm all for specialisation, it gives pilots in EVE something to really work for and not just be a clone of another pilot. Nothing worse than listening to someone bleating on about how many ships they can pilot because of easy training. This kind of idea here deals with just this, and that can only make EVE even more special a place. 
Lastly, when you look at the additions of ships in Trinity, I think the CCP understands fully well that there is a want for specialisation, so why not this area too?
Nice one Balor.
