I'm sure this will have come up before (had a quick look but did not see it, probably on the old forum). I also know CCP have said they would not do this, in the past. But with the upcoming expansion and the introduction of Tier III Battlecruisers, I want to throw this out there again. If enough people want it, it may be considered.
Fleet Command Ships would stay as they are:
Amarr: Damnation - Prophecy hull Minmater: Claymore - Cyclone hull Gallente: Eos - Brutix hull Caldari: Vulture - Ferox hull
Field Command Ships would move to Tier II models:
Amarr: Absolution - Harbinger hull Minmater: Sleipnir - Hurricane hull Gallente: Astarte - Myrmidon hull Caldari: Nighthawk - Drake hull
I would love to see Nighthawks as black with the red Kaalakiota diagonals on it. Or a gold and red harbi.
Of course the problem will be in the blueprints people are using to make them. But I am sure some sort of fair way of sorting that could be found. Perhaps offering a one time only swap of the Tier I blueprint to the equivalent Tier II? |

I don't recall saying anything about fittings, slot layout or stats. All the Tier II models have enough gun ports to support the existing ship compositions.
The Ferox if a gunship. The current Nighthawk is a missile boat. So your Myrm/Brutix analogy is already irrelevant. Another example is the Navy Issue Scorpion compared with the vanilla version. Same model, different ship style. Where is it written the T2 ships have to follow the style of the T1 ships?
I'm not sure what your point is? This is purely an aesthetic change. |

To be fair, on that specific point, the Command Ships were introduced before the Tier II Battlecruisers, so there was only one set of models to choose from at the time.
I might photoshop up some screen shots of the Tier IIs into the relevant skins. For my own curiosity if nothing else. |

Um... assuming you mean the Damnation, as per the OP, it would retain the Prophecy model.

Whilst I am pleased the thread is getting some attention, this is about simply changing the models of Field Command Ships to Tier II Bruiser models.
By all means start a thread about Bruiser balancing if you think they need it. |

There is no need at all.
However I think they would look very good and it would create a very clear distinction between the Field and Fleet variants. |

Hmm, well, if that was to happen you would have to be making the Fleet Command ships adopt the Tier II hulls as opposed to the Field Command ships. Thus you would have:
Amarr: Damnation - Harbinger hull (A black Habi) Minmater: Claymore - Hurricane hull (Pale camo with blue lighting) Gallente: Eos - Myrmidon hull (Dark green and grey Myrm) Caldari: Vulture - Drake hull ('Tehno Camo')
Amarr: Absolution - Prophecy hull (As normal) Minmater: Sleipnir - Cyclone hull (As normal) Gallente: Astarte - Brutix hull (As normal) Caldari: Nighthawk - Ferox hull (As normal)
I would not be opposed to this either. I'm just biased as I tend to fly Field Command ships.
Hmm now to decide it I should photoshop those up as well... |

Mate, this has already come up in the thread and been covered.
Nowhere is it written that T2/Fraction ships have to follow the format of there T1 hull counterpart:
Ferox - Gunship Nighthawk - Missileboat
Prophecy - Gunship Damnation - Missleboat
Scorpion - EW Platform Navy Issue Scorpion - Missileboat Rattlesnake - Missile/Drone boat
Just because a Myrm is a drone boat it does not mean that any ship that used the same model has to follow suit. |
