i think that this game has had a bit of a hole in it and i know just what would fill it.... A SUPPY DREAD! if a suppy dread was made with say 3 rep slots and had less fire power then the combat dread that would be ideal for people who can't get stations yet don't wanna run around in a ship that can get 1 shotted by other dreads

I wonder how many times this is gonna come up and get shot down before people stop asking for it >>
WE do not need a supply dread. It would be OP and un-cool

It'd be a bit too useful: a Dreadnought with 3 supply drones and yet sufficient firepower would be a beast to take down, especially for UGTO.
Sounds cool in theory, but in practice, a bit too cool to be real.

I'd be content with builds being able to switch to reloads and vice versa again.. I didn't think it was THAT op

well what i mean't was say this dread and another dread went toe to toe it would probably make it fair by taking out some of it's fire power.... and OTT suppy dread wouldn't be good but a balanced one would be awesome.... i here too much whining about variety so i thought this'd be a nice idea.... obviousl not

While a good idea in theory, unless this dread was packing the firepower of a destroyer then it probably wouldn't be a good idea to impliment something of that size and strength with 3 repair drones.
Now the idea of swapping out build drones for repair drones is an idea that I think would be great to bring back. It wasnt over powering as it was normally ONE slot being swapped out.
While it can be very aggrivating being in a supply ship and getting popped in one or two salvos, thats what the ship was built and meant for. The problem is that people aren't defending their supply ships as often as in the past, hince why they get popped so easily. Couple this with supply ships being in the heart of a battle, they tend to get taken out either from splash damage or to thin the numbers.
Best advice to all supply ship pilots, keep back at a friendly planet AWAY from the front lines. This will lessen the chances of you getting popped as quickly.

tbh get rid of the supply stations aswell and make them more siege oriented.
we need more ppl in supply ships, not supply stations.

the issue stands with the ICC supply ships. There overly too weak compared to there UGTO counterparts. A UGTO supply ship and heavy supply both can take a lot more abuse in combat then the ICC one. Rotating shields on a supp is asking for death and most of the time you don't even have time to rotate, your dead before you even spawned. Now a ICC Supply Cruiser useing the old guppy model would be something to consider.
Supply Cruiser.
Faction: ICC
Rank: 2nd RA
Badges: Silver Supply
3 Repair Drones
Slandered armor and shields that the guppy had
4 heavy rail guns only 2 fire any direction
6 CL two on omni slot and 2 that fire any direction
3 IE drive
1 Tacoma Drive
2 aux gens, one left and one right
Stand off only firepower not enough to make much of a difference in the heat of battle but can repair and doge, still will crumble under a focused beam (prolly from Kluth). Has a little more sturdiness to it so that it wont die from 2 or 3 lucky QST hits. Basically not a 1 hit pop shot supply ship.
