Hey guys,
This is my first post on EVE forums despite the fact i've been playing since Nov 06. If i were to make a new ship type, it would be a mobile defense ship for fleet warfare. The goal of the ship is that it would bring up a barrier (like a shield) up in front of it that would either deflect incoming attacks or weaken then. Each race would specialize in a certain damage type. The strategy would be that in fleet warfare, ships can now place themselves behind the mobile defense ships. This would now add positioning and direction to the warfare. It would allow for more formations and all that.
The ship would probably have a decent tank, very little to none offensive capabilities. The shield barrier wouldn't be too huge, perhaps a 5-10km square shield. I'm not sure how it would logically be affective vs missiles and projectiles. It's just fun to think of it.
Another idea is a suicide ship, it attaches to larger ships and then detonates instantly podding the ship pilot but having massive amounts of damage. :)

I have already invented the Gallente Roller Disco ship a long time ago.
CCP sadly have yet to implement it. 
/me goes to cry about the lack of any Gallente roller discos flying in space.

Sucker Punch class.
No tank, slow as hell, but it can fit a weapon that can punch somebody over the Internet.
And its power is based on lag. More lag= bigger fist.

Interesting, if flawed, ideas.
some problems with the ships:
Shield Ship: Encourages blobbing, which is already a massive problem in fleet warfare. Also encourages more Cap Ship use, again, a problem related to blobbing.
Suicide Ship: Has already been discussed, and CCP has unambiguously said they will NOT be intentionally designing a "suicide bomber" ship for EvE. Obviously, you could simply fit a Crapload of smartbombs on a BS and use a cloaked cov-ops to get a warp-in point really close to your enemies. Then detonate all your smarties at once. You'll kill quite a few ships if you are able to pull it off.
My own personal desires for a ship?
I'd like to see a more modular setup for Industrial and Freight ships. Something more like our modern long-haul trucks and Trains. That way, once you skill up you can simply tack on more container bits to your existing ship, rather than having 5 different ships.
Being able to fit a Cov-Ops cloak on a Black-Ops ship would be nice too.

I would create a faction frigate with an astrometric bonus that required Amarr & Gallente skills to pilot.
(Currently as Amarr the only way you get to do astrometrics is if you get your frigate skill to V - all other races have a baby astrometric ship)

Mobile Artillery T2 Tier 3 Battleships
Role
These ships are designed primarily to destoy capital ships. Their weapons placed on specifically engineered mounts that provide dramatic increases in firepower through stabilized force-dissipation emplacements. Unfortunately, these systems interfere with weapon targetting, making them difficult to use against sub-capital class ships.
Bonuses:
Battleship Bonuses:
+5% Damage
+5% Resistance/Repair
Mobile Artillery Bonuses:
+10% Optimal Range/Falloff
+10% Shield/Armor HP
Role Bonus: +300% Weapon Damage
Penalty: +300% Weapon Signature Resolution
Siege Platforms (T2 Tier 3 Battleships)
Role
The removal of static infrastructure such as POS guns. These ships have specialized hardware aumentations to improve both damage and the fidelity of their targeting systems. Unfortunately these emplacements are extremely difficult to rotate, limiting their tracking.
Battleship Bonuses
-17.5% Weapon Signature Resolution
+5% Damage
Siege Platform Bonuses
+10% Optimal Range/Falloff
(Don't know)
Role Bonus: +300% Damage
Penalty: -90% Tracking

Some sort of Q-ship. Looks just like a Hulk in space. Shows as a Hulk on overview and scanner. But tanks like a Dominix. It doesn't even have to have any turret or launcher slots, although being able to fit a web & scram would be nice.
I imagine it might be a bit hard to code this, though.

A special type of TII indy that can refine. That's it. I just want it to refine, nothing fancy like shoots concentrated pew pew all over the place, just refine at a pretty low efficiency (until you've learned a huge list of skills)
This would complete my EVE experience.

For the sake of this post, I will present:
"Dennis"
Dreadnought+ sized spacevessel, with a single gun for hitting:
a) any seriously tackled and webbed spaceship anywhere in a solar system
b) any pos' in a solar system
Gun have a very low rate of fire.
Having more than one or two would be overkill. Having lots of these ships spread out would be expensive, and vunlerable to counter attacks.

Hmm... I would give Destroyers the ability to fit and fire "Cap Ship killer" missiles/bombs. 10km range, % based damage (like 50% Shield removed per hit or 50% Armor removed per hit) or something like that...
Each Destroyer would be able to fit one missile/bomb in the launcher and one extra in the cargo bay.
Those thingys wouldnt do much damage against non-caps of course...
Why?
Too much Carriers Online right now...
Oh, I would also make Destroyers capable of fitting "super defender" missile launchers (insta pops missiles) and a Deflector Screen to block incoming fire from other ships.
That Deflector screen would of course be able to protect close by ships as well.
I dunno how effective I would make it though.... Haha.
The difference between a Pirate and an Anti-Pirate is that an Anti-Pirate fights ships fitted with guns... |

I'd merely add a wad of hitpoints and 2 Mids and 2 more lows to all the lower end Miners and Haulers.
Give em a +99% Weapon fitting and Transfer mod penalty for all I care.
Also a Capital MINING vessel, (not miner support).

A ship that has a bonus to the often requested corpse launchers.
It should have some sort of corpse harvesting scoopy thing, and then a bit where it flings corpses. I suggest:
5% Bonus to corpse launcher rate of fire per level.
10% Bonus to corpse decomposed factor per level.

Either a battlecruiser or battleship-class logistics ship (call it a repair ship or fleet logistics ship). Unfortunately, the logistics cruiser is a one trick pony and can't double as both a logistics and salvage ship.
The Rep-a-thron is OK, but it would be nice to have something with a remote rep range bonus and a little larger drone bay to carry both combat spares and repair drones for the fleet. Of the Gallente ships, the Myrm or Hyperion models would be ideal for the class.

A true drone-only combat vessel.
Tier 3 BC
0 High Slots
5 Mid Slots
8 Low Slots
+5% drone speed per level
+1 drone controlled per level
+5 bandwidth per level
At least 500 m3 drone bay, but only 75m3 bandwidth base. Very high number of viable drone combinations here.
We need this. Badly. |
