You've been playing too much

only if you are playing EVE. I can't see a Legion player flying a ship, though the single character sign in does pose some interesting scenarios.


However, I would like to see Legion players have the "Commander Role" on the battle field, possibly flying a MCC. Something similar to what was done in MAG.

You've been playing too much

1: I said 3, not 2. And as I've said,there's more than just PC that they can be used for.

2: It shouldn't carry combat ships; that space should be used to carry MCC's, which are about the size (irrc) of a shuttle).

3: A Warbarge without the ability to use turrets for OB's would be silly, as that would be the OB boat.

1) Yes but in my prior posts I had only suggested two versions. That does not rule out a third one. (Presumably the Capital Ship sized one.)

2) My proposal involved leaving the Warbarge in orbit for an extended period of time (essentially becoming a temporary station), so the ship hanger was included so that the pilot would have a ship to use to go elsewhere when nothing was happening. The smallest size Warbarge was proposed to not hold MCCGÇÖs because it was meant for raiding and I did not want to give it the capability to conquer a district (at least not easily).

3) I agree. I originally proposed it to be unarmed so it would not be OP when repurposed for doing other stuff in EVE, but when I looked at this again I remembered that Orbital Strikes are done using Small Turrets. Restricting the Covert Ops Warbarge to Small Turrets on a ship the size of a battleship, would keep it from being OP when repurposed, so I am going to change my proposal accordingly.

I had a dream last night, and I was actually piloting one. Was pretty neat actually; you got to launch RDV's like you do drones upon request of a drop off/pickup, and I even got to launch installations! It was very enjoyable......... until a Moros warped in and ganked me

I woke up raging, but then I realized something:

1: It was a dream, and I needed to HTFO

2: Warbarges needs to either have multiple sizes, or be a real cheap Capital

Honestly, I think Warbarges should be the only way to do Space to planet things (like sending down RDV deployment, installations, clone vat storage, and OB's will probably stay how it is now, but maybe the WB's get bonuses to OB's?). Seeing the fact that there could be other types of things than just PC for the interaction (joint missions, incursions, FW, etc.), and the fact that they would probably get ganked real easy unless there's a fleet with it at all times, as well as the fact that it locks out corps who don't have a well trained (trained as in SP) Cap ready to fly them. So, how do we solve that?

multiple sizes of Warbarges.

Now, I haven't decided on what hull sizes they should be, but I have decided this: There should be 3 of them (including the capital one), and possibly each of the Empire factions get its own set (note: they would be an entirely different hull type, not a T II of another). Next, the smallest WB would either hold no MCC, or only one, the middle size would hold 2-5, and the Capital would hold 10-20.

Tell me what you think

If WBs are to have SMAs at all, they need to be small so they don't encroach on carriers' logistics role.

Good to hear I'm not the only one with New Eden dreams.

ALSO: At EVE Vegas they described War Barges as being around the same mechanics and price range as the Orca, which can use stargates, has no Jump Drive, and isn't nearly as expensive as Capital ships run.

As well, RDVs are actually launched from the MCC as per lore and a -very- early DevBlog, as well as the 2009 stage presentation.

You would however be able to launch and carry MCCs! That's what I can't wait for.

you know the dream is actually better than the real thing...

look at all the dreams ccp sells us...its so much better to dream then to actually do things.... right ccp?

While I like your idea (and Fox), why limit ourself to warbarges for transportation?

Planetary Conquest should be the only thing that requires a Warbarge since it is the only craft that can carry MCCs and is specially designed for this purpose. For that we can have a specific mechanic, for example Fox POS like suggestion.

I would like to make general transportation of mercs and materials as seamless (and cheap) as possible, and use the current assets we have in EVE and Dust.

Want to do a small scavenging mission with no vehicles? - Hire a capsuleer with a fast frigate.
Perhaps some vehicles are needed? - Hire a capsuleer with a destroyer or battleship.
(The only limiting factor should be the cargo space of a ship)

Add a few new EVE items (mCRU, vehicle drop-pod etc) and an extra "launcher" module (high slot) that take these items as ammo, and let the capsuleer fire those on command from ground, exactly like OBs work today.

This system can be used on planets (and infrastructures) where mercs normally don't have access.
