Ship Classes are ships that are specially designed to amplify certain attributes of a ship at the cost of weakening another attribute. These ship builds could create more unique ships and add for more diversity in the game. With this implementation there would now be four varieties for diversity: race, profession, ship design, ship build, and ship classes.

Here are some examples of Ship Classes



There could also be ships with certain criterias that have to be met before it can be fitted



There could also be ship designs that unlock new unique abilities



Any thoughts?

i like the concept of it +1

ANYONE would sacrifice their 10% Defence Bonus for +10% Attack Bonus, hell who wouldn't? We don't need any more buffs that can potentially boost a player's stats tremendously. Ship bonuses are fine as it is.

I am an SSB, I would take someones arm off to get that attack bonus if it only cost a decrease to def bonus

10% Atk bonus for a 20% decrease in hull, how about that?

I stopped caring about getting disabled... I'd even sacrifice -30% Hull just to get +10% Attack. Also why worry about getting disabled if you're constantly using a halcyon trap? People would go for this bonus in a heartbeat. In other words, it won't happen.

Thoughts? Yep I got some. Pretty sure some others are thinking the same thing now too...

Well played

yeah same, i really do not care less about being disabled.

I had a thought about the fact that no one cares about getting disable... Maybe there should be a down side to getting disabled, like your energy recharged rate is increased by 10 seconds as long as you are disabled... Or, the condition of some of your modules randomly are reduced every time you hit the repair button...

Still won't work, most players just halc up, either to save their K:D ratio or to npc or do something that doesn't relate to PvP. People with this "bonus" and who constantly halc up will have the most benefit compare to a player who constantly PvP and have a "target" on his/her back.
