How many roles do exist, what kind of roles do exist? How do we define the roles?
So you can just use the poll in this thread and help us figuring out what roles we want to use later on. If you vote, please give a short description on what you think is a good definition for said role.
Let me start with:
Light Tackle
A ship that can establish first tackle, usually by keeping the enemy at range with a warp disruptor or two. Ideally it has some kind of bonus to tackling range and a decent sensor resolution.
Heavy Tackle
A ship without any bonus to disruptors/scrams but maybe a webbing bonus. But the biggest benefit is an enourmous tank to keep the target from moving around while the backup arrives or simply to keep it from moving while the rest around the main target gets blown up.
Kiter
Fast, agile, but usually lower tank (and probably not bigger than a cruiser), they just keep the enemy pointed while they chip away their tank.
Brawler
Like the heavy tackle, this role goes close and personal with their target. But they also fulfill the role of a damage dealer.
Alpha boat
Something like a Tornado, extremly high alpha but terrible tank.
Logistics
You rep stuff.. Mostly. Wouldn't count RR set-ups as logistics.
Exploarion
Well, you explore things.
Combat Exploration
Like exploration, but combat ready. You uhm.. explore wrecks I guess?
Hauler
Yes, a hauler exists and at some point we will have to talk about how to fit your freighter.... I fear that day.
Miner?
It is a role.. I suppose...
PvE and PvP
Kinda obvious, no?
Not sure if you can edit a poll after it's being set up, but I simply hope it is. If you have other roles that I missed or want to add to the description, please do so.
