It might be interesting to convert half the command ships into the other BC hull, picking the one that matches their weapon type at the T1 level.
That would (potentially) mean:
Eos would use the Myrm hull Sleipnir would use the Hurricane hull Abso would use the Harb hull Nighthawk would use the Drake hull
Fozzie I would take it a step further and leave all of the existing hulls in game GÇ£as isGÇ¥ and change their paint schemes to an alternate NPC scheme e.g. the current Ferox/Nighthawk could use the Lia Dai colors. Then all new GÇ£Draked hulledGÇ¥ Nighthawks would be new production only. That would create an instant collectorGÇÖs item that originated from GÇ£we the peopleGÇ¥ . Now that would be cool!
You mean, give each command ship a 'variant' when crafting to determine which hull is actually used in the finished product (even giving an option for tier 3 hulls)? That would be amazingly cool.
If you mean leave all current command ships as is graphically, but each new command ship made be a different hull ... oi. That would be sad, but also kinda cool.
If you're driven to threaten others with harm or violence because of what they do in game, you can't separate fantasy from reality. That "griefer/thief" is probably more sane than you are. How screwed up is that? |

Shouldn't the tanky vulture be the drake and nighthawk be the ferox? I enjoy the prophecy hull much more than the goofy harb. Also feel like the cyclone is iconic for comm ship. Cane looks too miniscule to command anything.
Still support the change but generally because I think more variety is better and my sexy damnation isn't proposed to change. Jump, jump, jump. |

I'm curious where you got this information about armor bonuses and such.
Lots of support here Fozzie, although a few points have been raised that are worth being addressed by someone with a Dev tag.
Anyway, I should update the current numbers. Maybe if this gets to page 17 I'll do that. |

Less than 10% of playerbase uses forums, less than 5% posts there, even less posts in F&I and those that do are mostly vet players that have fetish or 2 for Sleipnir and/or for other hulls. IMO every hull should have its T2 variant, also hull and weapon platform it uses should be consistent between all t1-t2 pairs.
It'll be better for CCP to organize a vote (similar to CSM one) so that we can know opinion of majority of players (limit to pilots >3 or 6 months old, 1 per account). |

Less than 10% of the playerbase also voted for CSM 8. The "majority" of the playerbase doesn't actually care about anything outside of what they see in the client and only ventures outside of it when they want to complain.
At this point, I think it's pretty safe to assume there's a green light to at least considering how to handle the side issues that would arise from such a change. |

As an Amarr Command Ship pilot I'm perfectly fine with the change. The video looks pretty good to me and it seems like only the really old players who have flown this ship or that ship for years are the ones, and few at that, complaining. I saw 1 player who objected to the Eos change, and a few who don't like the idea as it's presented as all or nothing. It's kind of like when the US Congress puts a bill together all the citizens need like supporting better care for the elderly and then they pair it with some crap saying women will have to serve men as slaves so they know it won't pass. I know that's a bit over exaggerated but not sure why this change HAS to be all or nothing.
Eos = done, you have like 99% approval, the other 3 it's looking like about 50% approval more or less. Granted there's more players giving 100% approval than ANY players giving disapproval so that ~50% for the other 3 isn't an accurate number, but more like 50% of JUST the people who dislike the idea. I like the idea of a poll, and if you could use the new launcher as it's staging point like where you put the news that'd work great and more players would see it to voice their opinion.

Hey you stole my name... well sort of lol. I agree with the vote thingy, that'd give a ton of people the chance at least to be heard. And I am one of those really old players who has flown this ship or that ship for years, but am also 100% for this change (does that make me a minority?). I fly mostly Gallente/Caldari CS's and with Gallente gaining Armor bonus, prolly won't fly Amarr (which was the only reason I ever did) and I can't stand the way Minmatar ships look anyway. The only 2 Minmatar ships I can tolerate are the Cane and Rifter... Yeah I know, Trust in the rust. But that's why I'm for the change including the Cane change. And I'm sorry Caldari die hards, the Ferox is butt ugly. At least the Drake is a little nicer looking. The Operative:-á"There are a lot of innocent people being killed in the air right now".

Change the claymore hull maybe, but deffo no to sleipnir hull change imo.
Exactly, please do not destroy Sleipnir spirit. Yes, we would like to see some tweeks to the current look, but not hull transformation (and BIG NO to hurric one). |

I understand your way to make everything uniformed/predictable/balanced. To know that each race has these ships and their T2 variants, and they are using this abilities. In your perfect universe, you can predict every ship look, their stats and abilities only by knowing same tier in another race. I don't like that idea. I don't like this kind of uniformity. Real beauty is in creativity, difference, unexpected. Please reconsider your balancing plans from this angle of view. Please do not make same boring ships, only with different color, and different type of guns for each race. Do not listen to these people crying that something is unbalanced/overpowered., they will cry again after each rebalance, only ship name changes. Please make us happy by discovering unpredictable. Please let us have fun with different approaches of each race to combat making. Please build unique spirit about each ship, to make us love our ships. Not just pick that one, because it is in general same like the one I like, but has 0.9% higher isk per hour. Current ship state doesn't look like different ships from different races with different mentalities. It looks like China is making toys for russia, eu and usa in different colors with different names, but still in same factory.
I hope you will read and consider this. :) |

So, hypothetically, what do you guys think?
If the abso becomes the harb hull you need to give it the same kinda makeover the apoc got.
Give it visible armor plates! That baby needs to look tanky! BYDI (Shadow cartel) Recruitment open!

In all likelihood, the Harbinger hull will be getting a full-on remodel just like the Apoc did. All the Amarrian ships will probably be retouched and remodeled a bit to be brought in line with the modern Amarrian aesthetic. That is to say that they'll be made to look more like the Impairor, Dragoon and new Apoc. I imagine the Harbinger will look even better after such a treatment, as will any T2 variants. On the subject of T2, the art department is also going through and tweaking every T2 model to look a little different than the T1 version. Right now they're giving the Paladin slightly different looks than the Apoc, with rumors saying it will come in the form of looking tankier and more heavily-armored.

CCP puts out so much information and I can never find any of it either. However, I thought you meant "Armor Bonus" as in some kind of bonus to the ship itself, not Armored Warfare. Thanks for finding the image, just the same. Now if I could only find the new one from this year's Fanfest where they put T1, T2, T3, Navy and Pirate on a graph to show where they are in relation to each other in terms of balance. |

check it out. they all will be changed up a lil. the abso will be a laser boat, the damnation a missile boat. the sleip will be guns, the claymore will be missiles. the nighthawk will stay missiles and the vulture guns. the astarte will be guns but the eos will have bad ass drone damage. possible 125Mbit bandwidth and bonuses like the domi or gila..
heres where it gets better. they all will have great dps (no more field or fleet choice between boost or survival). they all will have a bad ass tank they all will get 3% boost to links (3 links). so they will have weapon systems AND links.
what Fozzie said in the future talks at fanfest was "imagine a ham spewing beast with the damnation tank..." his words lead me to believe they will have atleast abso dps with 3 warfare links.
now, the best change is" amarr will not only boost armor warfare links, but they will gain the ability to boost skirmish equally well. gallente will boost armor and intel minie will boost skirmish and shield caldari will boost shield and intel.
so your warfare link AND your racial enemies @ 3% (like fleet command ships) with damnation tank and absolution dps. so imagine the armor mindlink giving the fleet armor bonuses to resist and rep rate, plus the burner/mwd skirmish link. how will that work for ahacs? |

Love the idea!
Eos is the only one I'd still love to see some change to if that was to happen.
Sucks to have the T2 of a drone ship have less drones usage.
I have a thread with some options already going if it interest you.
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3151353
We really need a BC with 125 bandwidth.
Reduce it's dps and replace with ew and logistics drone bonuses if need to keep balance but please get us a bc that uses drones that can uses as much bandwidth as the 3 cruisers that already can. |

That thread had a link to further talk more in depth about the CS changes where CCP mentioned increasing all CS's damage output, removing Fleet/Field (giving both 3 links), adding a second gang bonus to all CS's and making the Eos into a better Drone boat than it is now.

I also don't think this kind of change would be worthwhile unless we did all four and converted them into those specific hulls, since any deviation would make it harder for a new player trying to get information from their looks.
So it's kinda an all or nothing deal, which is what makes it such a difficult question.
All or nothing? No dice.
Much as I would love to see a Creodon Myrm and a Drake modeled hawk, my life requires LASERCHICKENS. Seeing as how the T1 is not a LASERCHICKEN and the Damnation is a paltry missilechicken, we must preserve the LASERCHICKEN. Perhaps a big black harby instead?

Yeah, and logic tells that prophecy and absolution have similarity in armor res bonuses and turret fitting And absolution with harbinger have only turrets both, meantime harbinger can be fitted in shield tank. And logic tells to us leave absolution alone! Damnation too. |
