Hi there. I have been looking at the various joint faction battleships and there seems to be something of an imbalance - not in specs (not a nerf or buff whine) but just in what's available.... As far as I can tell, these are the options
- Amarr get to combine with Caldari (Nightmare) or Minmatar (Bhaalgorn)
- Caldari get to combine with Amarr (Nightmare) or Galente (Rattlesnake)
- Galente get to combine with Caldari (Rattlesnake) or Minmatar (Vindicator or Machariel)
- Minmatar get to combine with Amarr (Bhaalgorn) or Galente (Vindicator or Machariel)
Why the duplication on Galente-Minmatar options? Where are the missing ones (Amarr-Galente) (Caldari-Minmatar)?
Any thoughts? Cheers XMP

Huh given what CCP did with the Rattlesnake, we'd more likely get a rokh with Arty (and only arty) bonuses.

While I'd like(LOVE!) to see a Geddon with moar droneage, or something similar, I know the reason(rp-wise) why these ships aren't here.
Caldari-Amarr: these guys are united and have been since the great war.
Caldari-Gallente: These guys were pretty close before the great war...I think. I'm actually quite fuzzy on this one, but I remember reading soemthing...
Gallente-Minmatar: Same as Cal-Amarr.
Amarr-Minmatar: Amarr subjugated a lot of Minnies. It only makes sense they'd also expoilt their engineers and bastardise some ships.
So there's the rp-reasons, from what I can tell, but don't take my word as gospel, this is just what I think.
Non-rp reasons: That was when the devs' pizza turned up, so they didn't have time to finish making the other two ships.

Machariel - angel Bhaalgorn - blood raiders rattlesnake - guristas nightmare - sansha's nation vindacator - serpentis
There are no other pirate corps..?

I think from an RP perspective it could well be becuase of the close ties between the serpentis and angel pirates. (To the uninitiated, the serpentis hired a whole wing of the angels to guard there stuff). To me, that pretty much explains why the angel and serpentis ships have interchangable skill reqs.
Now, the missing ships probably come from a lack of factions to posess them, and also possibly becuase of concerns over balance/worthness ...
Galente/Amarr would either be a drone boat with a massive amount of cap and armor (woot woot super domi) or a pulse/blaster boat with an armor tank... one of which would be broken, the other we already have...
As for caldari/minmatar... well... the shield boost bonus would be appalling aside from on some kinda uber-raven, which would be a shade too pwnful. A built in boost amp on a faction raven that would either HAVE to get another mid or another high. Shiney good. The other combinations ... well ... scorp/phoon ? A tempest/raven ? Neither of those things are especially appealing...

EoM and "mercenary" maybe, plus "rogue drones" if you want to go there. Maybe EoM are amarr/gallente, mercs are caldari-minmatar..? __________________________________

I think from a gameplay and skill value point of view, training for Amarr ships on top of Gallente is less rewarding than training for Minmatar.
Although if you look at the systems used by these races, training for Amarr and Gallente will mean you save on training for shields and missiles (in most cases).

Thirded.
Also, Mordu's Legion doesn't have a ship of their own. I don't do missions so I don't know what ships they use. _

Originally by: Xavior Mousepractice Amarr get to combine with Caldari (Nightmare)
Sansha is a crazy bastard. Besides, Amarr and Caldari are allies, so technological exchanges wouldn't be unusual.
Quote: or Minmatar (Bhaalgorn)
Blood Raiders are a vampire cult from Amarrian space.
Quote: Caldari get to combine with Galente (Rattlesnake)
Guristas are Caldari pirates and enemies of the Caldari state. Of course they would make deals with other enemies of the Caldari.
Quote: Galente get to combine with Minmatar (Vindicator or Machariel)
Gallente and Minmatar are allies.
Quote: Why the duplication on Galente-Minmatar options?
Their respective pirate factions are also allies.
Quote:
Where are the missing ones (Amarr-Galente) (Caldari-Minmatar)?
There's just no affinity between Amarr and Gallente, nor Caldari and Minmatar, in EVE's back story. And the creators of this backstory chose not to write in any pirate factions that combined tech from those races.

That seems very plausible, based on the types of weapons and resists each of those factions have.

Non allied cross factions are still borderline RP acceptable. They are as it is since they have a good bakground around them.
I don't see the need to have more Non allied cross faction ships. Non necessary and not a gain RP wise.
Would only be cool for pure pew-pewness, epeeness, ego boostiness ... which we dont need or can already achieve as is it.

EoM, amarr-gallente ? Laser shooting, shield boosting ships ? Doesnt that scream Amarr-Caldari, or Nightmare to you ?
Mercs I dont know, but I would really be surprised to hear that CCP designed a NPC faction of any amarr-gallente or caldari-minmatar mix.

Well, you've been warned. *shrug*
---
I think it would be possible for an Amarr-Gallente pirate faction to spring up; say, a heterodoxical Amarran priest is excommunicated, makes his escape from custody (and whatever brainwashing would have commenced), and some Gallente traders "rescue" his pod.
The liberals that they are, i'm willing to imagine that they'd be outraged. Perhaps the preist's heterodoxical views had to do with "wakeful mind" or some such, and he uses drone control to simulate a form of meditation. The Gallente traders would be all over that, methinks. The fact that he may or may not be obsessed with rogue drone legends (or somesuch cult behavior) is merely more stuff to throw in the backstory. I'd enlist. Drone speed/range/tracking; drone bay bonus based on gallente skill, armor bonus based on amarr skill. ---- Caldari Minmatar wouldn't be hard either; Caldari rebels who are super-nationalistic (anti-gallente fascists, more extreme than the others), and Minmatar who see their relationship with the Gallente as another form of slavery band together against their respective navies, and exchange tech. The caldari see the minmatar defectors as a necessary evil, and the pragmatic minmatars see the caldari as a powerful ally. Tracking speed, sig radius, missile range; ship speed based on Min skill, Missile explosion speed based on Caldari skill. ----
So why can't it happen again? Why?
I really don't understand where you're saying there's no RP reason for it when there is so much that RP stands to gain from it.

I'd rather see a rogue-drone based Dominix model before more combined-race pirate ships myself.
Also, an Amarr-Gallente ship that looks like a gold-plated Hyperion (with both armor resist and armor repair mods) would be win.

Rogue Drones are A) drones, B) armor rep C) fire lasers, and D) fly gallente ships. Clearly the Rogue drones are the Amarr/Gallente faction.
