Some of these ideas cannot fit in eve atm as there is no room or there is already something in that role already. Nah, these are things that I and many others I've spoken to have a need for, and believe could enter eve without braking the game. And if they demanded new game mechanics, so be it. Eve would be richer for the experience.
There are some things in there that would make me nervous, such as the T3 BC role that disconnects drones from their parent ship(maybe just against fighters and FBs?). That seems a bit OP. I get the idea of the mini-naut, that makes sense, but they should have **** poor tracking, and **** poor tank. That way if a group of them jump into your wormhole, it's not the end of the world, since they pop as quickly as destroyers, or they pop alot faster than they can pop you or your POS.
YES, I think there is room for more ship types. YES, I think there is room for dedicated ship carriers, YES, there might even be room for different styles of normal carriers (maybe, major reworking of the ships would be done, and even after that, I doubt I'd like the idea. I didn't like the idea of the sansha carrier.).
The gas harvester ship makes tons of sense. Not many people do deep core harvesting, so adding a bonus to the gas harvester would make lots of sense, even for high sec residents. The T3 harvester on the other hand is a bad idea, same as the T2 noctis. Those ships are just fine as they are right now. Want to make more money mining? Find a wormhole or low sec system and hop to it.
You need not worry about price. No matter how expensive a ship, there will always be someone rich enough to buy it, fit it, and fly it, even stupidly. Met someone recently whom hada corp mate take a rattlesnake into a low sec war and lost it within two minutes. If we have that kind of ISK to throw around, price balances nothing. Make it fun, make it useful, and make it good, and they will come. |
