Edited by: Chade Malloy on 12/05/2004 17:41:13 Edited by: Chade Malloy on 05/05/2004 01:48:00 Well, i remember a certain Dev-chat, not long ago, where the words "Dreadnoughts" and "super-battleships" appeared.
I think i¦m not alone with my opinion, that only 2 different Battleships per race in our current developed state of the game are a bit few...and i am eager to get something new between my greedy fingers.
As we all know, our brave DEVs are currently busy with coding for shiva and the next castor patch, so maybe they simply don¦t have the time to make new models for ships, textures, and so on at the moment. But nevertheless, i want a Dreadnought in the game asap , alone for the name .
Why not help the DEVs and CCP by providing Models or textures, or at least design ideas about new ships? I know that among the thousands of players there must be someone who knows about modelling, texturing, etc...
Why not have a modding contest for the upcoming Dreadnoughts, or Battlecruisers, or whatever you can think of to fly through the eve-universe? The coolest, best designed, best looking ship which wins, could actually be put in the game, as a persisting monument of a modellers dream 
I for myself had this vision of a gallente Dreadnought, called "Hyperion" class. It¦s only a model atm, i¦m still working on the textures...
- check it out! -
edit: UPDATE: have a new ship, check it out:
the "Morningstar"

Edited by: BlackMail on 05/05/2004 01:52:34 Awesome idea...although I don't know how easy/hard it would be to implement something modeled from an external source other than that made by the devs....but I'm definitely not a coder 
The ship looks awesome Chade...keep it up and who knows....maybe we will see it in game

Chade, Id love to help out, but I have not been able to get the hang of CG programs such as maya, and unreal engine. But, I can draw, and maybe you coulde model it after my drawing which will be ugly cause im not that good. It will how ever be for the amarr race sine I happen to like amarrians and the BS's. But yeah, you never know, maybe one of us in the world of eve will have there modles brought to life by the devs.  "The Tallest Person, Is The Last One Standing!" |

Very nice model, seems to fit with Gallente design and with a nice texture I think would make a fine addition...
That said I don't see the Dev's taking any outsider artwork / models....though its good to dream.

Wow, nice model Chade. I don't think it fits 100% with the Gallente style but it's still very nice. If I were you I would make it a bit thicker, it looks too slim to be Gallente IMO.
BTW, what program did you use to create that model? Also how did you go about makeing it?

Heh, not a bad idea. However the bottleneck is not the graphical models, we need to change the ship UI to accomodate the Dreadnoughts.

I hope we're going to have proper models with the new ship classes and not what they did with interceptors. Re-skinning and adding a couple of bits of muck from your prefabs directory does not make it a new ship, it just makes them look rushed and smacks of laziness. Even though at heart they're just a +2 hat instead of a +1 hat, new models would be nice.

I guess Im out unless I can draw something really spectacular and get Chade to model it in 3D format. Cause I sure don't have the experience I would need to use any type of 3D modeling program. But hey, maybe I can think of something that would look a little decent for the amarr class ships. YES more than 8 slots is gonna be sweet, if only the DEV's decide to implement them into the newer ships coming out in Shiva and later patches.

Correct :)
And no, nothing has been decided on if a dreadnought has 57 slots or not, there are considerably more variable and features that it can have to make it stronger than a battleship in some areas - and considerably more handicapped in other areas 
Maybe we need to change the ui for those handicaps huh? _____________________________ I say hey sky, s'other say I won say, I pray to J I get the same ol' same ol. |

im like addicited to the aft bridge tower desgin of star destoryers<SP?> as far as im concerned so far the arma is by far the best looking ship in the game atm hands down with ther merlin coming second i love the row of broadside guns =] and itd be nice if the ships actually had sensible and realistic gun placement.....[ie the arma ]

This is something I definitely want to see ... I wish I had 3-d modeling skills. Maybe we could do concept drawings, I would love to see tons of variants of designs which fit with the general style of the older ships....for example, a Mammoth which is bigger, has a few more engine nacelles, and bristling with gun turrets would make a damn cool Minmatar Dreadnaught. =======Abaddon=======

I'll knock a few models up at the weekend, see how they look.
Also, if someone wants concept sketches turned in to 3D models I can help out there. You have to be able to produce good drawings for an accurate recreation, but I can usually build something with the right 'feel' from sketches.
If I make a model people like I'll single it out for special attention.
Oh, and to the devs, I don't supose you have some hi-poly models of your ships you want to release to the community? I was hoping to do some Eve cgi movies. Happy to sign an NDA and the like. ______________________________________________

Sorry Avon, I already have Chade Malloy working on the CGI of my drawing, which by the way was a complete 3 Dimensional drawing of the ship I was talking about in my last post, I only hope he gets it done by wensday like I was hoping, but you never know. I am also working on another one that should be done around friday of this week. Maybe I can impress someone, but I don't want to put my drawing up until the CGI is done so you can see them side by side. By the way, how would I turn my scanned picture into a URL to put on this forum? I just realised I can't remember, lol. "The Tallest Person, Is The Last One Standing!" |

Edited by: Rual Storge on 10/05/2004 13:36:41 Well here's a set of rendered images from the "flagship" idea I had for my corp BattleStars... Would be interesting if some of the new ships had a specialty to em like the "Battlestar" has where it has a built in primary weapon that you would have to point at your target directly and the ammo it uses would be excessivily large, but excessivily powerful.... I don't know let me know what you think I do realize this ship would likily never see EVE least not as it is. BattleStar As an actual ship I would assume this would have 4 High Ports + One special high port locked so the main gun would always be there. Something like 4 mid ports maybe only 3 may 4 - 5 low ports. No or very little drone space and like 400 cargo. (Each main gun round taking like 50 - 75 M3 but haveing outstanding damage abilities like 2000 - 5000 base damage.) This would of coarse require the Large Hybrid weapon Specialist lvl 3 or soemthing to use though. and with only one engine the acceleration on this ship would be obese. (and yes the ship is one massive Rail gun) Thoughts?

Hmmm, since i been playing with 3D Studio max for the last few years this would be a great exscuse to start some new modeling.
i First started playing with Bryce 3d years ago Created this in the first line of ships i had ideas for of a game i was developing.
Early Model of my Gun Frigate in Bruce 3d 3
along with this i created some alien race fighters i called shintarri.
Shintarri Trident Fighter
Then i got myself a program called 3d Studio max and began the long process of teaching myself how to use it. Lots of models were created including this remodeling of the origional gun frigate.
Gun Frigate 3d Studio Max
Then i was just playing around with some funky features and just making weird shapes and such and eventually came up with the Shintarri Nautilus Cruiser.

So id be realy happy to have a ship modeling competition.

Hmmm, since i been playing with 3D Studio max for the last few years this would be a great exscuse to start some new modeling.
i First started playing with Bryce 3d years ago Created this in the first line of ships i had ideas for of a game i was developing.
Early Model of my Gun Frigate in Bruce 3d 3
along with this i created some alien race fighters i called shintarri.
Shintarri Trident Fighter
Then i got myself a program called 3d Studio max and began the long process of teaching myself how to use it. Lots of models were created including this remodeling of the origional gun frigate.
Gun Frigate 3d Studio Max
Then i was just playing around with some funky features and just making weird shapes and such and eventually came up with the Shintarri Nautilus Cruiser.
Nautilus
So id be realy happy to have a ship modeling competition.
At last something with a little quality... I specialy like the trident one. Selling Raven BPC ME20 3M at Yulai 1st Station |

Unfortunately, you will find most people doing this sort of thing professionally will probably not have the time to enter a ship into this contest (as they are at work, doing this sort of thing professionally).
And honestly the last thing one wants to do after work is go home and do more work (especially after a normal working day ~18 hours).
Perhaps this will however convince someone to dig into there archives and submit their work. Although dated, might still work well. *pokes his friends*.

Originally by: Macumba I hope we're going to have proper models with the new ship classes and not what they did with interceptors. Re-skinning and adding a couple of bits of muck from your prefabs directory does not make it a new ship, it just makes them look rushed and smacks of laziness. Even though at heart they're just a +2 hat instead of a +1 hat, new models would be nice.
Interceptors, along with Special Ops, Gunships and all other elites are the Tech Level 2 version of an Tech Level 1 ship. Hence it uses the same model - since its the same ship, only better.
Ship classes are like Frigates, Cruisers and Battleships. To this we are adding Destroyers, Battlecruisers, Dreadnoughts, Carriers and Titans. These are new classes so they will have their own models. _____________________________ I say hey sky, s'other say I won say, I pray to J I get the same ol' same ol. |

Oveur, will there be any new additions to the current Frigate, Cruiser and Battleship classes? For example a Frigate/Cruiser/Battleship that requires level 4 and a level 5 in that particular skill? We have Frigate(s)/Cruiser(s)/Battleship(s) for levels 1, 2, and 3, why not a level 4 and 5?

We are still working out the last tidbits of how they can be over taken, what is the penalty of having a sentry gun kill a n00b etc. and we have been a bit busy with plugging the holes that people have found.I would say that you'd start to see these items on the market in about 2-3 weeks, very expensive to begin with |

Yeah, I also think he meant something like e.g. a new battleship that requires Amarr Battleship lvl 3 to pilot, and not some speciality skills.
Anyway, about the models: What is the upper limit for polycounts on ships? What are the counts of, for example, the Dominix, Megathron and Raven? Just so we have some clue about what we should aim for.
Ciao, Aronis!

Interceptors, the first elites that were launched require frigate level 5.
But arent the interceptor frigates supposed to be a different class of frigates? I know that interceptors require frigate level 5 for the particular race ship you want to pilot, but I always imagined that there would be a system like this (and the same would go for cruisers and battleships).
Ship Class: Frigate Level 1 Frigate Level 2 Frigate Level 3 Frigate Level 4 Frigate Level 5 Frigate
Ship Class: Interceptor (requires level 5 Frigate skill) Level 1 Frigate Level 2 Frigate Level 3 Frigate Level 4 Frigate Level 5 Frigate
On a different note, regardless of any higher level ships for the differnt ship classes, are there any plans to add more ships of the same level to each class, for example different frigates/cruisers/battleships that require level 2 in the skill? Right now we are sort of stuck with everyone only having 4 choices, if you are a cruiser pilot, you only pilot a thorax, rupture, maller or moa (if you want to pilot the most powerful cruiser for your specific race). It would be nice to have more variation so players can choose from a slew of different ships that fall under the same skill requirements.
I know you guys already have enough work to do, I was just wondering if its a plan for the future or not.
P.S. I really appreciate seeing more dev comments on the forums, its awesome to have you take time and answer questions when you can.

Why do people keep voting for ship designs from other games. CCP obviously can't use those designs...those are already in use. CCP does not have rights to those designs. Lets try to stay with the new designs. I would rather have a good or so-so original design then an amazing ripped off design.

GOOD JOB!!!
Are you saying mine is the best you've seen as in the drawing and then the CGI's that chade did, or just chade . Cause I take the credit for the drawing and the imagination to draw it while Chade will take all the credit for modeling it and making the changes to the nose of that ship.
I never said It was named "The Penetrator". That's what my buddies said, and my CEO has told me that it looks like a Stabber as well, BUT, in no way shape, or form, did I even look at a picture of another ship while I drew that one. So, it is completely 100% out of my imagination. Besides, as long as I have been playing EVE, I dont think I have ever seen a stabber.
Any way, I am glad that you like My drawing and Chade's CGI's. DEV's check it out, tell me what you think . "The Tallest Person, Is The Last One Standing!" |

I to think that ccp would be able to use an elite ship model, as in cobra, viper etc, asp or whatever. Asp was a nice ship. Thargons.. i thought i might get knocked out of warp by a thargon when i first started playing this game.
You can download elite absolutely free from the internet now for all formats, its a better bet to emulate your computer as a spectrum than as an amiga, that was always the best version.
Yeah, elite models would be cool, i think. Hope i think of this game as much in a year as i do of elite, that game was groundbreaking.

Edited by: Aleis on 13/05/2004 02:42:41 an idea for outfitting dreadnaughts/gunships is to have the high slots represent "gun packs" bascly a group of weapons that are linked as a single gun. Probly make them required to be all the same, for example for one high slot you have a pack of 2x 1200 arties, and another of say 2x 425 autocannons, click once and you get 2 guns shooting same target, would make it so you can keep the same gui and still add more guns

here are some early WIP's of my caldari dreadnaught.
dreadnaught wip1 dreadnaught wip2
the idea of this design is that it has massive armor on 1 side. so when it's positioned right in a battle it can endure much longer then a standart battle ship. also the heavy guns will be mounted on that side. wich re****s in the other side of the ship will be weaker and vunarable to fighter and fast cruisers. the weaker side will ofcourse have some small guns for point defence against them.
*disclaimer* this is still an early wip.

Not to rain on your parade guys, with but with the possible exception of the morningstar, none of these models even approaches the quality I would expect from a CCP model. Much as a player model idea would be cool, I just havent seen anyone demonstrate the amount of skill that CCPs ship designers have.
At this point I would prefer to see the devs crank out another heavily detailed, beautiful model than something of lesser quality, even if it was from the players.

Well, dont you just like to burst people's bubbles? Its not the detail and Exoticness that they look for, it's creativeness and willingness to participate in one of the greatest games I have ever seen and played. Take my drawing for instance, plenty of room for the devs to make modifications to the hull and what not, but if they did use it and the look and structure changed, I would still know I contributed to it. Besides, even if they never use our models, WE STILL HAVE FUN!!!
I for one just like drawing and am currently working on all kinds of Sketches for this, some frigs, some carriers, other may be drednaughts, I dont know, just whatever comes to mind. But, you never know do you.

I don't think that the devs are going to just take the Maya export and stick it in the game. They would have to create the ship again using their own designers who can fulfill the vision of the original designer.
With that in mind I see no reason why people can't scan in a few line drawings.

the Oracle looks pretty good, it has that amarr look to it. from the dimensions it looks more like a frigate tho, or a small cruiser than something bigger.
I like the idea of getting the community involved in creating the looks for the expansions, but I think that you guys could help more by providing interesting concept art - getting a player-created model into the game is probably too much trouble (you need to import it, tweak it, fix it, skin it... and I¦m not even talking about the rights).
so come on, grab paper and pencil and show us what the ships of tomorrow can look like!

Atea, on second look at my ships, I still like them, but I am starting to think they do look more frigate sized than BS sized, as you said. It is easier for me to do my concept right in the modelling program, so I will be back at it again later today!
I really like working with the Amarr style, so I am going to try to make something that looks like it has a lot of mass to it, but still following the style. ------------------------------------------------

Yo ppl!
I¦m impressed, this thread is still living and i got more and more hits on my design page ;)
I even have a new ship ready :
Here is it, the CALDARI dreadnought "STORMHAWK"
The page itself is still improving, pit per bit, so check it in the future too!  I will now start to collect all images created by you and post it there, within the next days !
Btw thx to you all, for this great thread!

Edited by: Origim on 19/05/2004 01:42:56 Edited by: Origim on 19/05/2004 01:42:23 In order for large ships to feel large, you need to add alot of little bright dots- aka windows (my limited English skill prevents me for finding a better word)- like Armaggedon/Apocalypse do. With that, people will be able to feel the dimensions of a ship.
Here an example: When you are moderatly zoomed out, which ship looks more Battleship-sized and less frigate-sized- a Typhoon, or an Armageddon? --------------

Edited by: Nyrram on 24/05/2004 14:56:04 The Stormhawk is my absolute favorite design so far, in game or out of game.. although don't think it would pass as a Dreadnought really.. looks more like a frigate or cruiser, but either way, I would definately fly that ship.
I don't think CCP realized exactly how much ship design would mattter to the playerbase.. For instance, I have never seen anyone flying that monstrous creation known as Scythe.. and personally, while I would prefer a Moa as my high-end cruiser because of it's extra mid slot, I fly a Rupture because I absolutely hate the look of the Moa..
Some of the current in-game models are completly and totally un-flyable because of how ugly they are.. so why not maybe just replace them with some of these designs. :)
Although I'm sure we all would much rather have new ship choices to go with them :)

My vote for stormhawk as well...Looks awsome from every angle ,tho judging by the size of what i assume is it's command section,it's looks more like a very large cruiser or a small battleship at most,so either make the command section smaller or the rest of the ship bigger relative to it.....Just my 0.2 cents on what is an awsome design tho..

Minmatar Destroyer "Hound"
As someone said about current cruisers that they have no speed to avoid fire nor armor to sustain damage. The ship you can see here is in between cruisers and frigates. It's small enough to be a problem for heavy turrets but have a power to mount two medium turrets. Hope that coming destroyer class would be close to this.
This ship uses dual 720mm howitzer which is actually two separate howitzers assembled into single turret. It takes two med-slots and have decreased tracking and fitting requirements but almost doubled rate of fire. And it looks cool I think.

Aren't destroyers supposed to be a new class of ships between cruisers and Battleships?...
Having said that,i think the above idea would work great for the bomber class of frigates tho...

Yeah, I would LOVE to see a new class between frigate and cruiser. Just imagine how happy all the newbies would be not having to claw their way from a frigate to a cruiser. Also I love how the girders on this design are much more detailed then the other Minmatar vessels as that has been what repulsed me the most about Minmatar ships.

Well, I sketched this ship up some time ago, and I tried to model it, but my modelling skills are hardly up to the task. And I'm a little too busy working on coding tasks, so I figure I'll just post the sketch and people can do whatever with it. Was meant to be the thorax's bigger brother, a battle cruiser perhaps.

I assure you, that wasn't intentional... Actually, I was gonna do a side view as well, but RL called. The side view would have differentiated it quite a bit. There's supposed to be a set of engines on fins under the wing-like protrusions and a command mast is suspended below the engine section.

easy to learn, hard to master 
most people start learning with a program like 3ds Max, its relatively user friendly with absolutely loads of tutorials. The only problem with it is that there is no learning edition.
There are lots of cheaper but almost as powerful apps as well. Cinema 4D is excellent for its price point, as is Lightwave. I wouldn't bother with apps like truespace etc. as their layout is unlike all the larger apps.
Maya and Softimage are heavyweights within the 3D industry, and both have free learning editions - though output is restricted and watermarked. Both have pretty steep learning curves, but there are loads of tutorials.
For a good source of info regarding 3D apps etc. try 3D World, it has a load of links etc. to get you started.

Well, here's a WIP of mine. Neither destroyer nor dreadnought, this is supposed to be a Gallente carrier, named "Argo" after the ship from Greek mythology. Mostly lacking in the aft part, and I'm not happy about the silvery pieces (idea stolen shamelessly from the Dominix). But it's a start. Textures are, ahem, a lot of work to paint, so this takes a while to do. Mesh itself is not really high poly count, something like 4800 triangles.

I really like these...it seems to me that a heavy combat ship should maximize volume with armor/shield coverage...perfect being a sphere, but that would look dumb. The armor tanking ships of the Amarrians seem to follow this heavy hull look. =======Abaddon=======

Edited by: Von Schnopp on 29/05/2004 09:57:22 A truly nice model Chade, imo it's gallente lines all the way. I can see you had the Megathron in mind when creating the fuselage and the bridge etc which is good.
Somebody said it resembled Caldari ship design due to it's asymmetric design. Just to remind you, the gallente designed Thorax has an ventral engine gondola offset slighlty to the right and a generally asymmetric engine configuration in overall. The Exequror also has an asymmetric design. As I see it there's only one race that designs truly symmetric ships and that's Amarr.
Keep up the good work, I do hope we'll get more ships to play with and new exciting designs. Not as much as to provide functionality as to add to the flavour, a large mix of ships is what we need after a year in EVE. :)

Textures are, ahem, a lot of work to paint, so this takes a while to do. Mesh itself is not really high poly count, something like 4800 triangles.
Enjoy!

Ciao, Aronis!
definetly the best ship by far here
though it doesnt remind me of a galente ship, reminds me more of a huge bestower or just basicly an amarr ship, change the color to a yellowish gold and you have a perfect amarr ship
could you post wireframes of your model?

Edited by: Deep Spacer on 31/05/2004 23:13:32 That 'Argo' ship is insane... one of the best looking ships ive seen, including anything in the game. it just looks like a massive ship, able to take on anything. Texture is great, looks like u could drop it right into the game with very lil modding. Beautiful ship...id sell everything i own in game for one of those

When compared to the ships in game now, most of these pale in comparison.
None of these even come close to the creativity and imagination of the Scorpion, Raven, Megathron, and even tempest.

Personally, I have to dissagree. Not that I dont love this game, but I think the models of almost every battleship and cruiser, and most of the frigates in this game are butt ugly.
Some of these models are awesome, imo. +++

Yes, I like the Hyperion very much. I see nothing wrong with a player-contest of the arts. Easy enough prize too; give the winners one of the ships they designed ;)
This works since players get to have a really lasting effect on the game, and may even help the design team a bit..

I dunno, looks more like a luxary cruise liner than a warship to me.
Does kindof look like a concord ship though. Maybe this will be concords dreadnought??

I think it would really rock if someone looked at the ingame ships for a race, and created a model from the base, but massively alter it. That way it would keep the same "feel" of that race, but look like a brand new ship
Could be interesting :)

Still, some of those are realy good, i like that last one n the hyperion, but remember a few things, each race give a certain type of name to their ships, i believe galletne give latim names, the amarr mostly thigns related to death n pain, caldari have animals, names of people i believe (heron, merlin, raven, scorpion) so try to give them names that match with this parameters

Awesome design, but the ship scale is kinda small (judging by the size of windows). The size would work for a destroyer class though. --------------

Ok now donÆt laugh , after being inspired by everyone's efforts I decided to have a go at 3D modelling a ship.
I was going for a kind of Minmatar style. It started out as a war ship but with the cargo containers became a giant hauler / mining ship (I stuck 14 miner 2's on top).
Still a work in progress and not textured. Modelled in Maya 4.5.

Ashe, Just looking at your ship again, and I was thinking it could be a little rounder to fit with typical Amarrian design. Maybe give it a little bit of an Arbitrator look?

I did these several years ago, the first tow ones were made in poweranimator before the release of maya so that must be 6 or 7 years, the last four ones (you might recognize it) was made a couple of years later for a proposed teaser that for some reason never came to be..

Edited by: Aleis on 10/06/2004 03:21:44 I threatened to go LegoÖ on you all and you didn't believe me and now it's too late to run. I whipped this one up in about 3 hours, once I actualy decided to make it.
I wanted to make a Minmitar ship (seeing as I'm minmitar and all) and have always liked the Rupture for it's similarity to the old Gallions most pirate ships are modled after. And also love the Rifter so I combined the two. Origanly left it with out the sails but it looked too small so I took a smidge of Tempest and threw that in too and I think it worked.
Minmitar Dreadnought (Tremor or the Squall)
Couldn't decide on the name, I really liked both.
(I found the flag as I dug through the LegosÖ and it was just too good to pass up)
If any one has any suggestion on changes let me know and i'd be glad to try them out, benefit of useing LegosÖ design alterations are extremely easy once you've got the basic design complete.
::TO CCP:: I waive any rights to the design and concept of this ship (seeing as I copied a bit from you to begin with :À) , and give permision to you and any of your affiliates complete, free and unlimited use of the complete and/or partial design.

Me likes,but i think we'd need to see it from other angles if possible to get a better idea of it's overal look..
Also,all the detail on the surface,while looking very good,would likely use up a lot of extra polys or at the very least,need some really good textures or pixel shader effects to keep it intact once the actual moddeling is done...

I like it, looks cool. Could be scaled in game either smaller as as some type of fighter or cruiser, or scaled up significantly larger than a BS to be some big ass dreadnaught :)

What race would it be? the split hull reminds me of the Ammar frigates, would need some sharper edges on the inside of the "pontoons" Possibly Gallentian but it's a little spread out they seem to like bulky condense designs

I have a few questions for CCP regarding this:
1. Is there a real possibility that if a player designs something up to par it will be used? 2. Are there any guidelines we have to follow. e.g. Can we design minmatar ships that are smooth and sleek? do the ships have to be non-symmetrical? 3. If (1) is true, what kind of data format is CCP looking for (e.g. IGES, STEP, tesselated...etc). Would texture mapping be required? I started working on a minnie dreadnaught but then scrapped it. While I am great at 3D modeling my artistic sense is lacking. I would be happy to team up with another player for artistic direction |

Oveur, you said you were following this thread.
If so, PLEASE incorporate some of these beuatiful designs as tier 3 Battleships.
Battleships make up such a huge part of EVE Combat but are so monotonous and lack variety.
Add tier 3 ships that arent necessarily better then the other battlships but do something mildly different then thier contemperaries.
Like an Amarr Droneship (With tons of mids so it can go in a bunch of different directions like the domi)
A Minmater EW ship
A Gallente Long range ship, (Use the hyperion model in this thread it is a lovely lovely ship). Say a 8/3/8 layout with 10% to optimal range and 5% damage bonus to hybrids.
And a Caldari BS thats designed for up close brawling, with a high base speed, 5 turret slots and 3 launchers.
You would also reward all those players who specialized enough to get lvl 5 bs.
I don't think it would affect style much at all, the Minmater would still be speedy and bold, the Amarr plodding armour tanks, Caldari would still have shield tanking and EW on thier side and the Gallente player would still have good punch so long as he managed his distance correctly.
Bastards we are lest Bastards we become. |
