Hi folks,
I have gone through all Amarr Shipdesigns and think there ist one missing. In nearly every class there is a Khanid Design featuring "Armor Resistance Bonus" and using Missiles (Like the Heretic, the Vangeance, the Malediction, and in addition featuring a fancy black hull painting. If one starts to Roleplay a Khanid Pilot it is quite difficult to stay using missles in the Battleship-Class because there is no design like the EoM Hydra. Why is that so, why is there no Khanid (Torpedoes + Resistance-Bonus for Armor on a Blackpainted Armar BS?
Yours Dyanira

Quote: Why is there no Amarr Khanid Design Battleship or Cruiser
There are 2 T2 Cruisers the Sacrilege and the Curse. As well as a Commandship, 3 T2 Frigates, a Transport and an Interdictor.
Most people think/hope the T2 Abaddon will be a Khanid missile ship but there was no real opportunity to release one before now.

I'm guessing because there's no role for one. Parrots, commence!

There would be no role for every other shipclass of the Amarr using Missiles and Armor Resis.
It's like a pirate faction design,using Lasers and Drones by combining Gallente an Amarr Skills which seems to be also missing.
Serveral designs are missing or seem to be not in line
The Rokh is also a BS Gun Ship why shouldn`t the Amarr have a Missile BS

You do realise: following the Vengeance-Sacrilege-Damnation line, a Khanid battleship would be t2 and thus around 500mil+. Too expensive for most PVP and very sub-par for missions. So basically it'd end up as a hanger ornament in a lot of cases.
Now if this was tech 1 and affordable... GG obsoleting the Raven and Typhoon. Amarr should not have the best of absolutely everything. Kthxbai. _________________________________

@Duchess Starbuckington
A Raven is a shieldtank and a Typhoon is a jack of all trades like every other minmatar ship.
The Rokh is the best to compare, as this is a shield tanked Caldari BS Gun-Ship So that is why I am assuming one of the T1 Amarr BS should be a short range armor tanked Missile-BS
Even if it is T2 then the redeemer would be a nice choice for it I only think one should have the posibility to use torps. Perhaps make the Abaddon a 8/8 Gun/Missle(Torp) loadout with Torp Bonus like a Raven.

CCP has addressed this numerous times. Many players have, for over 2 years now, been clamoring for a torp-slinging Abaddon in jet black. However, CCP has stated on quite a few occasions that they have no intentions of extending the Assault Ship > HAC > Command ship line to Battleship hulls (which is realistically the only way to do it) as it would be a ridiculously overpowered solopwnmobile which is not what this game about. However, if you can think of a viable role for T2 versions of the Tier 3 battleships or Tier 2 battlecruisers that is something MORE than just a tankier, gankier beast and actually serves a purpose in a gang, put it in the Features & Ideas section. At least, that's what they keep telling us every time somebody brings up this subject.

No opportunity? The Black Ops battleship (Redeemer) was the obvious role for a Khanid battleship, but the Amarr screwed it up, giving the contract to Viziam. It's a Black Ops... it should be black. Not to mention the covert ops and one of the recons were Khanid designs, so the precedent was already set.
We shouldn't be petitioning for a new breed of T2 battleship using the sucky Abaddon model. We should be petitioning for CCP to change the Redeemer into a Khanid design, instead.

Turn the proph and maller into ham boats then make a new tier 3 bs for each race. Amarr gets the torp spammer.

Despite what you might think, Khanid is not Amarr. It is a commerce based splinter faction .. a Caldari/Amarr faction. Amarr ship philosophy is very puritan, guns and armour, with very little deviation. The few Khanid designs that snuck in are support vessels more than anything ..
All the silliness of bountiful midslots, missiles and unholy colour schemes is not Amarr!

Commerce-based? Caldari/Amarr? No idea what that means. In the backstory, Khanid was a royal family member and a hero to whom the military was loyal, expected to inherit the throne, but was passed over in favor of another heir. Instead of fading away quietly, he stole a Titan and declared his region of the Empire to be an independent kingdom. While the ships do have some features reminiscent of Caldari ships, the faction is an Amarrian splinter group, not "commerce based" or "hybrid".
And there are several Khanid designs, including a HAC and combat recon. There's no reason a T2 battleship (i.e. the Redeemer) couldn't or shouldn't be Khanid.

Do want torp abaddon with:
Amarr Battleship Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Torpedo damage and 5% bonus to all armor resistances per level
Advanced Assault Ship Skill Bonus: 5% reduction of capacitor recharge time and 5% bonus to Torpedo Launcher rate of fire per level

Nope. It's a missileboat. Sure it has gun slots and a bonus but why the hell would you turret fit it when the Tempest and Maelstrom do guns so much better? Torps + neuts with armour tank. What you're proposing would be basically that, but Amarr and better.
(And yes, neuts. There's a reason there are only 2 ships in the entire game capable of fitting more than 6 battleship launchers, and one of those is something we'll likely never see undocked.) _________________________________

And a tiny signature, hac base resists and 8 launcher slots,no? (the bonuses suggested would give around 2500 dps, remember state raven? Now add 25% dps and an insane tank)
Makes me long for a mothershipstyle domi though. Parrots, commence!

The T3 BS must be Khanid. Anything else would be Curses and Damnation due to Sacrilege.
