Exploration, science and cargo ships ships

Game Discussion Miscellaneous

with the upcoming mode I was thinking that maybe not all players want to fly with the sole purpose of combat but would like to fly cargo around for their corporation in cargo ships

 

then I thought that there could be lots of types of ship that could be useful for corps like science ships which could have advanced equipment like shields that lets ships go into areas of extreme radiation that other ships couldn’t get to or sensors that could detect things through nebulas

 

and exploration ships that could have a longer sensor range and probes that help boost the sensor range more

 

or other perks at the expense of frontline combat capability

 

another thing I think would be good if the drones appearance differed between the factions because they all look the same

Mmm. I like your idea. But I have doubts if the devs want to go in that direction. The main purpose of the game is fast action PVP. But nothing says anything from making certain ships having secondary roles from there main battle roles with there own Pros and Cons. 

 

Frigates can act as cargo ships and with there own corporation cargo that needs to be important, having pilots specializing in this is not a bad idea. 

 

Science ships could be the Engineers with “Research drones or probes” like they have now. You can use recons as exploration ships and mining prospectors to have special modules or ability to find ores, have a large sensor range and so on. 

 

So, yes, i would like to see roles for ships that dont involve combat, but making ships specifically NOT for combat defeats the purpose of the game currently in place IMO.

Maybe if they find a cool gaming style to complement this one but happen somewhat in the same universe.

 

There you can be an entrepeneur, but your resources depend on your corps PvE, and PvP battles decide your expansion.

 

And a Dreadnaught Moba. A Planetside warfare FPS game. A galactic civilization MMO where corps battle corps.

 

Yeah basicly JP said it all, but I also welcome other ships, which may be player built civil ships to carry more or recon, after all, raiding them would make nice missions *hrhr* but lets first wait how the open space gameplay actually will be :slight_smile:
