In my opinion, a GA ship should be an Elite Assault Frigate.
Take the ICC Assault Frigate or the Ugto Harrier (I don't know much about the K'luht Proboscis, sorry): Each as 2 engins, 1 Cl300, Two Forward Cannons, and 2 Forward Hvy Weapons. Also they have 3 or 4 Shield/Armor mounts.
The GA would have (stock):
3 Engins, make speed 35gu.
2 Full Heavy Weapons Slots.
2 Full Cannon Slots.
4 Armor/Shield Slots (one for each direction)
1 CL300
1 CL1000
1 Reactor
1 ECM
The difference? 1 additional Engin, 1 Additional CL1000, changing the Weapons slots to Full and adding 2 special slots....oh, and it goes pretty fast.
Point is...it takes skill to fly cause it's a freakin' Frigate! One Alpha strike at less than 100gu from a EAD or AD and you are still dead.
Skill! Something that, theoretically, GA's should have. Flying a Hyper-Enhanced Elite Assault Dreadnaught of Doom requires the smallest amount of hand-eye coordination to press the the: E button, followed by the Space-Bar.

Juxtapose an elite assault frigate is more stupid than my idea, sorry!

Nonsense! Once you have reached GA and realize that there is no more need for prestige, you too will crave a break in the monotony of Cruiser/Dread Space!
A Grand Admiral Skiff, perfect for relaxing jaunts through combat zones, harassing Dreadnaughts and just being a nuisance! A GA doesn't need a ship that garnishes 100 prestige everytime they press the space bar, A Vice Admiral or Admiral needs that!
A modified Assault Frigate or Harrier Frigate is a lot of fun to fly! Try it! A little more armor, full Weapons slots and a boost in speed would make this ship UBER in its own right.
UBER FUN!
don't get me wrong, a Battleship Class would be a lot of fun too but for balance and game play, if I were a Captain flying my Heavy Cruiser, I would be a bit disheartened when I got instantly pulverized by a Pack of overpowered GA's flying their Super Dreads/Generic Huge Ships. Cause we would fly in packs, we would all join the same Fleet and monopolize these ships...a Fleet of 20 Doom Dreads...in the [GA] Fleet.

Ok, i understand your argumentation....
We will make that a midshipman can get all ships,
and the higher your the less ships you can choose.
At least, as you were an GA, you can only use a Scout!
Thats a nice idea i think that is balanced, really balanced!
Or we remove all ships and make only the same standard ship
for every faction! Unmodable!
Thats really balanced too.
I HATE BALANCING

i think the GA should get some sort of uber scout,like on ICC it'd have 5 built in sabots,ugto's would have 4 built in fluxes and a cannon,K'luth would have 5 built in AM torps,i'm going to go get drunker now....

Super fast ship = Easy to pilot
Full Firing Arcs = Easy to fight with
3 Engines + 2 Special Slots = No Power Problems
Super Fast Ship + 4 Armor = Really Hard to Kill
Easy to pilot + Easy to fight with + No power problems + Really hard to kill = teh uber n00b ship

GA's should be able to select the color of their Stations/ Hives.

All I ask for is an in-game Mute Button.
...and a Hyper-Death-Dealing-Elite-Pink Tassled-40 Banked-Assault-Dreadnaught-of-Doom, that can go 40gu, has two Tachyon Drives and a 5 million gu Wormhole / Planet crusher...
...following Patriarch argumentations, such mastications of his permutations sparks inspirations from my imaginations that could lead to overabundencation of the facinization of customization!

I like Quistys idea the most, honestly, its the only one that has made sense so far.
All I wanted was a new, larger class, nbot something uber, jmust something more versatile. Like a command dread combined with an EAD, it can do a small ammount of bombing, building, combat, transport. Something that could do ALOT but not EVERTHING. And by combat, I mean al little more firepower than the EAD. Like an extra torp/laser/specialslot etc. etc.
Would probably be slower too I owuld like to point out.
Also, jux has a great idea going, i personnally think it would be fun to fly a scout thats much more durable than the current one. It would be a ball just to fly around the Umbrealla cluster, in a GA scout, and dodging all the missles and everything, would be SO much fun. And you wouldent die after a few hits.
