Industry-wise: 1. Will the BPO be for sale? 2. Will it be a Concord BPC? 3. Will it be invented like other T2 ships? ---

I think that a whore gun would be nice, though I’m sure they could use a target painter instead of dual props. It’s biggest problem will be the ‘let’s web that thing down’, of course, so they will have to clear tackle for it. ---

That’s a good thing though, it’s not supposed to be _THE_ FC ship, there are often going to be way better options than this, it’s just for people who don’t want to be headshot at all costs ---

I for one like the idea, This may not be the place for this but I for one would like to see a ship along these lines that would be based on the commerce raider of WW 2. A ship that could be used for say mining/hulling or out fitted as a fast attack ship. The ship could be a limited edition class given away by CCP as a prize or found as a drop via blue print. while doing execrations… The ships should look like any huller or mining ship now in play… Perhaps the best way to do so would to add a drone bay to them that would be used for only light to medium drones… ---

Exactly! Those are all better options in a lot of situations. This isn’t as limited as them for tank, and has way lower sig with TP resistance so harder to be headshot. ---

So a Command Ship that can’t run Command Links and is basically just a platform for a very small number of FCs (or streamers) to watch “the fight” from. Oh and probably a pretty good “tank” to use on L-IV and L-V missions. ---

Streamers’ best defense are not HB but the cloak. If a streamer is not cloaked, it will be caught and worn down, massive EHP or not. @Suitonia Yea, and no one needs such a ship. ---

Without probes and a whoregun (or 0% target painter), they’re better in EVERY situation over the Monitor. ---

i think this might be used by more then Just FC’s what’s to stop it from being used by someone traveling like a hard to kill interceptor or something if it’s immune from Ewar no scrams or webs its. its tank would give it enough to survive a smart bombing gate camp or really any gate camp ---

As a simple added ship this won’t damage the game. But it needs a way to get on the kms. Maybe space & bandwdith for a single small drone ? and extra control range of course. ---

■■■■ that about the probe launcher on the Monitor ship, there is dedicated people for that role, if you dont have a guy doing that, get one, stupid ideas like that one kills aspects of the game that some people love to do like being a prober in the fleet.
