Okay, got a simple idea. I would like to see a ship that is a Cap ship that is basically the battle cruisers of Cap ships. A ship type that is faster, but less armored (armor and gun wise) to a dreadnought. Basically it would be a cap ship that could be used to help train new Cap pilots to the basics of Cap ships, and the logistics that go into running them, With out the fair of lossing a really expensive ship.
General ship setup:
3 High slots (only 1 turret/missle slot) rest to be used for warfare, or whatever.
4/5 midde slots depending on race of ship
4/5 low slots depending on race of ship
Drones and cargo size will weary with ships race. Ships shielding and armor would be some were about 4 times stronger than a bs.
So what do ya'll think |

That would be neat if they had fighters, but that means the ship would be more of a mini carrier, rather than a dreadnought type ship. Really all im looking for is a middle ground ship. Something that could be used as a middle noob cap ship that could be used to help train people in proper Cap pilots. And give the rookie cap pilots a chance to know what they are getting into.

i was thinking more along the line as simular to the destroyer
cap ship that has 6 high slots 4 of wich are wepons of your chosen race and 2 slots up to you but does not fit siege.
there should be any combination of 7 slots including both mids and lows depending on race.
this ship shild have about 3 au warp speed half the align time of a carrier.
this ship should be simple to build its only armor and engines. give it the carriers hit points, damage bonus simmular to destroyers, and ability to jump and use stargates.
give them 5 small drones unless you choose galente where they get 5 medium drones.
the perpose to this is fast/quick cap support for important ships.
maybe 2 points of warp strength as well as its main perpose is its engines as a priority. this thip is at best just to alpha strike...
i would also like to change it up some as per skill requirements.
i think this cap ship should only needlevel 4 bs though you would not get the cap ship agility bonus from capital ships skill because thats skill requires bs 5
but where it hits you hard is navagation skills.
i think this ship should require the same navagation skills as a black ops ship. |

Well from what you've posted this ship would seem more or less a larger command ship then a mini dread.
Though a new small cap wouldnt be a bad idea just have a defined role.. An idea is to make a small cap with bonuses to neuts which would be really used to drain titans/carriers in fleets and only a small drone bay for fighters.. Would have to make a XL neut and make it so it cant be used on any sub cap but details.

Ya my idea is turning into something like that. I really did supect that it would be used as a neut boat, simply from the 3 high slot and only 1 turret/missle slot.
However, you can make it not have the cpu to fit warfare links, if they choose to fit a seige link instead. I really do want to make this think a mult role ship, that is perfect to help train new Cap pilots, and even let some of the vertans cap pilots have a new toy to mess with |

Most ship classes have a definitive role.. For balancing purposes it would be extremely hard to create a multi purpose ship that wouldn't be either OP or pre-nerfed.
So any new cap would have to be made with a role that is a counter to something or that is support. Having a cap sized CS might be useful but then again might be more practical to just use a CS. |

Probably, but they could always make it to were you only have enough cpu of 1 warefare link or a seige mod.
