Hels are the prettiest ship in the game, are tied for most damage, the move bonus gives them better application, and they have a large fighter bay for when your fragile as gently caress pets get blown up. There's no reason at all to get a Wyvern.

If I ever put a character into a super it'd be a Hel for sure (In Rust We Trust), but it's one ugly drat ship.

It's symmetrical, which already beats half the supers, plus it has aft-facing fighter bays, so you can emergency decompress them to avoid collisions with time paradoxes captained by Frasier.

If CCP requires an elite computer hacker with expert knowledge gained from youtube videos, I am willing to work remotely for them. I would also make a great lead game designer. Here are some of my ideas for the future of EvE online.

#1 EvE Gate opens to another dimension, this dimension has advanced species 8472 technology, organic ships. The dimension is inhabited by time keepers, they have the ability to travel back to any point in EvE history and disrupt things.
#2 Tranversal Jump drive, with the advent of species 8472 technology all new hulls have an extra mid slot dedicated to jump drive operation, once a day sub-capitals can activate this jump drive and be randomly sent to eve space,wormhole, or 8472 space, are you daring enough to use it?
#3 With the advent of new technology we've incorporated a new engine with real space sim physics, in this dimension eve turns into EvE Valkyrie, with the ability to control new organic fighters and capital ships to engage the enemy on an entirely new level of twitch based gameplay.
#4 Homeworld carriers, with advances in 4d manufacturing technology you can now build armadas while being mobile, build sub-capital fleets on the move and enjoy an RTS gameplay mechanic within EvE. Fortify your base, and attack your enemies with hundreds of ships at your disposal. Create resource gathering nodes in asteroid fields to help bring building material to your Mothership, setup sentries and mini-structures to defend against enemy ships. No need to spend $19.99 on homeworld, EvE online has now taken competitive RTS gaming to a persistent MMO style of gameplay. Real meaningful PvP where your actions effect the entire multi-verse.
#5 New players need to get hooked onto the action from the beginning, a new tutorial that promotes use of skill injectors should be created, and the first few hours of a new players career should reflect on the quality of the massive battles that are portrayed in the EvE online trailers. For this I want to create a new player instanced mission that is filled with one big NPC, and New Player battle, titans, sub caps, and chaos.
#6 With the advent of homeworld esque changes to the core eve mechanics sovereignty changes will also take place.

Contact me CCP together we can do great things.

#5 is actually kind of a cool idea. I hate the idea of instancing in a game like Eve, but something like this might be a good exception to the rule.

That's a great idea! Still need people that would actually be interested in this, but that'd be a great way to give a level playing field. It'd make for some hilarious fittings, based on skills alone.

I was also thinking doing trial characters for just this purpose would also make folks for open to sharing api keys to help discourage cheating.

Its literally just killing a single frigate rat in my guardian then warping off. A monthly lore thick story line mission that gave out sp would be preferable IMO as the current use feels dumb. It doesn't encourage you to play eve it encourages you to log in an alt, kill a frig then log out.

Obviously this will be the preferred dread for incursions since it's warp speed will make it faster at running sites.

The standard one used in most of lowsec is basically just an AB Tormentor with a TD:

code:

[Crucifier Navy Issue, lowsec ab]

Damage Control II
Small Ancillary Armor Repairer, Nanite Repair Paste
Heat Sink II

1MN Afterburner II
Warp Scrambler II
Stasis Webifier II
Tracking Disruptor II, Optimal Range Disruption Script

Small Focused Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Multifrequency S
Small Focused Beam Laser II, Imperial Navy Multifrequency S
Small Knave Scoped Energy Nosferatu

Small Transverse Bulkhead II
Small Transverse Bulkhead II
Small Transverse Bulkhead II


Warrior II x2

Since everything on your ship operates in scram range, the AB is pretty sensible. Carry a missile disruptor and scripts in your cargohold in case you see Kestrels/Hawks/Coraxes/etc. on scan.

So here is the link to view the l4 mission guide thats coming along. I started it very rough making it for myself just c/ping the applicable blitz info into a word doc for myself so I didn't have to ctrl f every mission. Its still super rough but if it gets to be a good enough guide to be worth publishing, we'll publish it complete with wiki tables for missions and poo poo. PM me your gmail if you want edit rights, unless ive literally never seen you post ill just trust you to not replace it all with goatse.

Generally, quite gankable, although it depends entirely on the fit. They have roughly half the EHP, unfitted, of a T1 freighter -- however, they get rigs, mids, and CPU for fitting. It also makes them tricky to bump, as they are capable of fitting istabs and a MWD (which allows them to align in 10 secs) and/or warp core stabs.

A fully tanked one (typical fit) has about 500k EHP, about the same as a bulkhead Obelisk. Travel-fit ones are around 150k, about the same as an expanded Fenrir.

In that case, follow up, what would be the safest way to move some stupid riced out mission ships in bulk? Moving them through high sec in a JF and taking replacement rigs with me, a specific bowhead fit, or just parcel it out to Red Frog in over collated contracts? Or is the answer to just fit them right and move the hulls individually and follow it up with a dst full of the refits?

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but what with 3D printing on the rise, why the hell aren't CCP mass producing models of all the ships?

They used to. (Except, they did heavy resin casting instead of 3D printing.) Here's a video of their Megathron model, and here's a pic from 2013 of the Tempest on my desk.

They stopped making them because not enough people bought them to justify the cost.

Unfortunately, 3D printing doesn't really help either. Most of the cheap 3D printers out there are FDM printers with relatively thick layers and aren't really suitable for painting unless you do hours of post-printing cleanup and sanding. Doing a higher-quality printing requires a significantly more expensive printer -- i.e. one of the Z-machines that can do drop-on-powder, or SLS, or UV resin lithography. Any of those vastly increase your production costs, and then you still have to paint it.

Strip the ships, fit them for travel and move the pimp modules with a cloaky. If a bowhead or anything is carrying enough ISK, and it gets scanned, it will die.
