Destroyers have been pointless for years, frigates do the small jobs better and cruisers and up are preferred for the dps and other things. Destroyers are good for... lvl 1 missions?
CCP is trying to change all that but a growing number of people are realizing the real purpose of destroyers has been with us since....WWI.
Destroyers are great at hunting down the submarines in the navy...so why not take that amazing warfare dynamic and bring it into EVE? Give destroyers a module that allows them to hunt down and hopefully sink...i mean blow up, those silent service ships that cloak up. Thats right, the covert ops ships that sneak around under fleets noses, or the stealth bomber wolf packs that cause chaos to fleets....now there can be a way to fight back!
Having cloak hunting destroyers in your fleet wil be very important now too. Destroyers would be really good at probing for cloaked ships and maybe frigates would have a more limited role as hunters since they are smaller ships.
Here is another part of this....since cloak ships are suddenly becoming targets and can be hunted down given time by destroyers...maybe its time to give cloaked ships more power too. Here are some ideas.
Cloaked ships no longer get uncloaked when something gets near them!
Cloaked ships no longer take massive penalties, if a ship uses a slot for a cloak and the ship can handle it, let them use it to the fullest! the whole cloak nerf on ships was just to try and balance them, well now hunter destroyers (maybe frigates too) balances that out.
Think of it, now destroyers will be a must in a fleet too!! Go destroyers and tin cans!
I think this is a great idea and would add more strategy to the war games of EVE...what do you think??

The captain paced the bridge nervously as his fleet approached the wreckage of several mining ships.
Captain: Anything from the scouts yet?
Comm officer: Nothing sir, D-scan is coming up empty and the probers canGÇÖt find anything.
Captain: They are out there ensign, I can smell them. SubGÇÖs right under our noses.
Ensign: SubGÇÖs sir?
Captain: an old nautical term planet side, submarines that sneak under the water, waiting to put torpedoes into your hull. These cloaked ships are nothing but SubGÇÖsGǪ.I need some god damn destroyers!
Ensign: Sir, I think they heard you!
Captain: WhoGǪwhat?
Comm officer: DESRON Six just warping in on the starboard side Captain. Five Catalyst class destroyers.
Captain: give me comms with their squad commander!
DESRON SIX: Hey old man, need a hand finding those subs?
Captain: You bet I do, get your destroyers set up and hunt those subs before I have torpedoes heading toward my cruisers.
DESRON SIX: Aye, will take a little time but we can at least scare them off if nothing else.
Destroyer Squadron Six comprised of five destroyers. All of them had the newly designed hedgehog anti cloaking devices. The modules were designed to fire off charges that would scan for dead space pockets, interrogate them and if it was a ship, it would alert the destroyers sensors and the chase would be on.
GǪhours laterGǪ
DESRON SIX: Well captain we destroyed two of those subs, the rest got away, all in all a pretty good day. Captain: You can say that, but it was not a good day for this mining fleet those subs decimated. Alright, lets swing the fleet around and head home, DESRON SIX your staying with my fleet now!

Because i love the game silly, and i love things that make sense in the game. AFK cloaking makes no sense and should not be supported by game mechanics just like log off tactics or macro mining which CCP rightfully fixed.
AFK mining is boring, manipulative and dirty. The way to make the game fun is to find ways for both hunter and hunted to have fun.
I love cloaking and cloak ships, i am a HUGE fan of submarine history too :) I support cloaking in the game and i can do that without supporting those who just cloak and go afk for hours in an enemy system just to mess with people.
My idea makes cloaking more powerful and it also gives the enemy a way to fight back in a fun, historical, realistic way.
Make fun! |

I would appreciate more constructive feedback rather than insults. I have repeatedly shown my support for cloaking and for fun ways to improve the game around cloaking. I do not support AFK cloaking and i think my idea is pretty good. Please build on it or suggest otherwise. |
