New Ship Suggestion #2

Federation Long Range Frigates. (FLRFs as conceived in a discussion about OP modules)

They will take the model of fancy engineers and will be one of the longest range LRFs in game.

Main module: RC Drone

It will drop out from below the Engineer and the player’s screen will switch to an IR camera view from the drone. It will pilotable for 45 seconds and function like an attack drone, just with the player’s name above it instead of “Random Drone”. It will do just over double the average damage done by an attack drone of that tier and is pilotable just like a ship. Strafing, forwards, backwards, up, down, everything.

Comments? Concerns? Animal sacrifices?

The devs have already said that the factions aren’t going to get any new classes. So Federation is stuck without an LRF. Sorry.

GG but why stop at animal sacrifices? We need to make our children walk through fire or the fertility god won’t be please and we will starve from a poor harvest!

But seriously, baguettes aside, why not let Jericho LRFs switch from Guided Torpedo to Drone Controller every other LRF? Like Templar would be Guided Torp while Templar AE be Drone and Ira Deus goes back to Guided Torp?

Brilliant!    Instead of flying the torpedo … fly the drone   !   Oh yea…

The drone idea is floating around (no pun intended) a lot lately. I think that it could work, however finetuning needs to be made. 

Remote controle drones? Nice. I think about kinetic howitzer - range 10 km. Very fast projectile speed.
