That’s not a navy ship though an exploration frig is just T1 or T2 and you could argue what is the purpose of an exploration destroyer ? do you then allow covert ops destroyers ?
A T1 destroyer is already about the most efficient source of DPS / cost of ship
Arent Sunesis viable Explo Dests?
They are but they aren’t a main faction there is only one of them not 4 different ones and anything outside the main factions doesn’t have to balance against what the other 3 factions have got so much.
What’s the point?
What role would they serve?
Where in the meta would they sit?
I guess they would be comparable to the difference between a T1 standard ship and a navy ship of the same size.
So an Algos Algos Navy Magus would be like
Brutix Brutix Navy Astarte
No one likes it when the baby Jesus cries.

Coming from the guy that thinks faction frigates are too expensive to use?
i think pirate frigates are to expensive because they cost the same price as a t1 cruiser fitted (is a bang for the buck thing )
navy frigates have a good cost
i have 3 pirate frigates fitted anyway because they are awesome 
edit:
btw pirate cruisers are my favorite ships in EVE
the phantasm is the GOAT
edit2:
but it cost 4 times the price of a t1 cruiser so there is the bang for the buck consideration to

btw dont call on me in front of @Venom_Anarchy
she/he is an old friend/enemy from the chad area 
now this thread is like a huge bowl of opinions that I can not sort out. if so many of you guys think its a bad idea and its pointless, then I won’t argue with you. I admit my experience in EVE is far less than you guys.
just saying why should we limit destroyers to only anti frigate?
But they arent.
You just need to come up with a purpose for them that isnt Anti-Frig/Explo/YEET/Interdiction, as there are already Destroyer hulls that do these things.
okay u guys are right, I agree.
See the thing about Destroyers for me is that they are kinda the opposite of what the hull name is derived from:
Historically Destroyers were/are:
Fast & relatively small
Designed to engage torpedo boats and engage in counter-torpedo strikes
Escorts to larger ships
Were discovered to be good anti-submarine platforms
Became a multirole combat support ship for lightly armed transports
Became EWO and missile carriers
EvE Destoyers:
Signifigantly slower and larger than Frigates
Dedicated light battery fire ships
Little room for alternative systems unless Tech 2
EWO frigates outclass them except when in direct engagement
I would argue that before Navy Destroyers are a thing, basic Destroyers need more options added
Historically speaking, EvE Destroyers are more like Monitors than Torpedoboat Destroyers.
With the exception of Defender Corax knowing that Stealth Bombers are going to attack

Why do you want a ship focused on damage in faction flavour, when main point of that faction flavour would be to have even more DPS? Thats gamebreaking.
I would like a ship that enters system and automatically blaps every mining ship in system. This would make mining more fun and interesting content for all.
