Yeah, additional dessies would be fun ... say make them point defence platforms (i.e. really good at shooting down incoming missiles/drones, not so good otherwise... )

They would need to fix Defenders first. I am all for an additional destroyer.

The current T2 Interdictor ships keep targets in place, why not the new T2 dessie have the ability to keep ships away? They can drop a Cyno Destabilizer Probe that prevents cynos from being lit within its area of effect and remove an active cyno.

Yeah, the coercer needs some adjusting.

However, the caldari destroyer doesn't even have but one missile hard point. How does that make sense???

The reason why I suggest a projectile amarr is simply because amarr will have that option.

It only makes sense that gallente should have a drone boat destroyer that can field say maybe up to a full 5 medium drones perhaps.

Because the other 3 factions are getting a second destroyer, then allow the minmatar to get one, and allow it to be a cross fit ship like a lot of min ships that mix missiles and turrets.

The t2 version of these ships could be something new that we haven't seen.

Perhaps designed to easily and quickly lock and tackle drones. basically, not the anti-super cap ship, but the anti drone ship.
Very fast at base stats, like 1km/s fast without and afterburner or mwd.
The ship will trade dps for more accuracy to allow them to hit drones efficiently.

Or maybe designed to be high speed cap neut ships. Maybe just covert interdictors.

Who knows, there's a lot of options out there for them

* A new small (destroyer hull?) ship designed specifically for capital ship killing. Don't nerf SC's, add a counter instead. Something like a +100% bonus to small gun damage vs cap ships per level? No bonus vs anything else though. Something like a stealth bomber version of a dictor with bonuses only to hitting cap ships? These should probably only require destroyers 4 so that new players have a 0.0 role.

T1 hulls tend not to have very specific roles in combat except the EW hulls. As for a counter, why not a high slot item that works against only a single fighter/fighter bomber? Each Drone Disruptor would turn off the weapons of one target.
