@Zombie_Ellecon CCP has worked hard to make the races unique and “racial counterparts” highly distinguishable from each other and not terribly interchangeable. But yes, CCP is going to create extra ships just for you because you refuse to take advantage of ships that already exists. CCP should not imbalance the game because of your poor planning and narrow preference for trig ships.
@Destiny_Corrupted you should probably start a new thread for trig mining lasers so as to not derail the mian sentiment behind this one. If you do, link new thread here and tag existing participants (Daichi and others) to migrate convo.
I kind of got the feeling that triglavians were possibly going to be the next playable race in eve and that’s the whole point of this invasion ?
I could be wrong
There is a Triglavian industrial ship, and it looks like there’s two varieties of it (a shorter one and a longer one). You can see it in a number of scope videos and the trailers put out for the patches over the last few months. It’s not (yet) available to players, though.
I’m kinda with @Archer_en_Tilavine though. Trig ships are very poorly balanced and we really don’t need more of them right now.
As for trig mining barge @Destiny_Corrupted no other faction has its own mining ships at this point (they’re all ORE) and the Trigs have Mining deployables (which I sincerely hope never make it into player hands). I’d be wary of any new mining ship addition at this point given the unholy mess that the resources market is in. And as with the other trig ships they’d almost certainly just outclass anything else sub-capital. If they offer more defence they replace the Skiff, more hold they replace the Mack, more yield (even if it has a spool mechanic) they replace the Hulk.
While I don’t have an issue with expanding the range of ships available to players in principle. New Trig ships have a tendency to just overrule other choices, not generally expand choices, because they’re so powerful, and have such a massive range of bonuses.
It feels a bit like CCPs intention is to make the Triglavians their own faction on approximate par with the empires, and that their having one ship of each broad type in T1 and T2 is inevitable. It would be nice if they actually balanced the damned things, though.
Would have to have a real niche to be filled.
Maybe it would have been cool for the expedition ships to have been triglav, but they were ready to go long before triglave stuff really got fleshed out.
