Have you ever heard of the Erinye? The Dagger? How about the Gatherer, Carrier, or Venerable? Some of you might have heard of the Ixion… These ships exist in the code and some even have full stat pages. They are not obtainable in game right now, so there’s an awesome opportunity to introduce them! Right now there’s a huge rarity gap between the more uncommon stock hulls (Garmur, Succubus) and Alliance Tournament prize ships. I think it would be awesome if these unused ships were added to fill that gap, being very difficult to obtain and exceptionally rare but still renewable. Maybe a 1-run BPC of the Erinye could be given as a very rare drop (0.01% or less) in a Gallente storyline mission, or a Venerable BPC as a very rare drop in Serpentis Capital Shipyards (or a Nullsec unrated escalation chain, already rarely done by players). Maybe the Ixion can be a very rare drop in Angel Cartel ghost sites. The possibilities for where to drop these exceptionally rare finds are endless! The ships would be standard issue hulls, not purposefully overpowered like AT ships. Like AT ships, though, they would not appear on the in-game ship tree. New players would have to discover them using the Show Info window upon seeing them in space or on scan, or by using skillbook “required for” pages to find them. Thoughts are much appreciated! Here is an example Erinye stat list that I came up with. It is closely balanced with the Enyo and Ishkur but has a few very interesting features. Gallente Frigate Bonuses: (per skill level) 10% bonus to Drone hitpoints and damage 5% bonus to armor repairer amount Assault Frigate Bonuses: (per skill level) 10% bonus to Drone max velocity 12.5% reduction in armor repairer activation cost Role Bonus: 50% reduction in Microwarpdrive signature radius penalty - Can fit Assault Damage Controls 3 Highs (2 Turret, 1 Launcher) 3 Mids 5 Lows 2 Rigs (Small) Drone Bay: 50m3 Drone Bandwidth: 25m3 Powergrid: 55 MW CPU: 180 tf Calibration: 400 points Capacitor Capacity: 410 GJ Max Velocity: 300 m/s Inertia Modifier: 3.733 Mass: 1,150,000 kg Warp Speed: 5AU/s Targeting Range: 48.50 km Maximum Locked Targets: 6 Magnetometric Sensor Strength: 12 points Signature Radius: 40m Scan Resolution: 520mm Cargo Capacity: 180 m3 Shield: 500 HP (0/60/85/50) Armor: 900 HP (50/67.5/83.75/10 Structure: 1100 HP (33/33/33/33) ---

Does anyone know why these ships exist? ---

Cancelled content from the before-fore times. Unlike the Jove ships these still exist in the files because their models are used by NPCs and so were worth upgrading to the new rendering engine. If CCP ever do a live event they can also use these ships for their DMPCs, but they’d probably need to use some developer cheat mode since the stats are horrid. ---
