The dark cloud The Rainbow Effect 2914	Posted - 2014.04.26 18:15:00 - [1] - Quote Something was really bugging me lately. So i watched the Imortal trailer. And some of the pics on the loading screens aswell show "fighters". Fighters however are basically drones from carrier ship sized ships in eve online. So lets assume that the eve pilot could provide a special form of OB with the carrier, instead of just shoting guns he sends his fighter drones down to the planet which secure the area that has beeing selected by a squad leader for like 30 secs and kill all hostile players in the area they are guarding. However carriers are the more expensive ships in eve where you have to pay just for the hull 1 billion ISK. The power you would get using one of those for PC matches would be immense but on the other side carriers attract ALOT of attention from PVP pilots. Head of public relations from The Rainbow Effect.

Canari Elphus Dirt Nap Squad. 1463	Posted - 2014.04.26 18:22:00 - [3] - Quote I think there would need to be a level of hit-n-miss associated with the fighters though. I think an option would be for them to do a strafing run or two over a section of area. The run would be narrow but long. The closest idea I could think from it would be the ones that platoon leaders could call in from MAG. If they were to circle a given area then Dust players would definitely need to have their own fighters or possibly dropships that have the ability to take them out. I really like the idea but I think there needs to be more evolution to Dust before it can be an option. Canari Elphus for CPM1

ZDub 303 TeamPlayers Dirt Nap Squad. 2563	Posted - 2014.04.26 18:36:00 - [5] - Quote Strafing runs could be neat for sure. Would be interesting to see a 'drone strike' option for capsuleers. I would love to see a missile option too, it could drop similar to a clusterbomb airstrike in MAG for those who remember.
Scheneighnay McBob Nova Corps Marines Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 4921	Posted - 2014.04.26 18:40:00 - [6] - Quote Screw flybies- when we get PVE, let eve players send drones down to hang around until they get destroyed. I'm from the weird side of the internet

Amusing idea i wouldn't mind seeing if only because the fighters carriers launch are crusier sized vessels around the same size as the mcc, secure the area wouldn't cut it to describe this, more like "our fighters will blot out the sun" Special OB bombers and drones would work though, it would be cool to see devastating airstrikes delivered by drones swooping in and out.
