Originally by: Goose99 Right now, the "pwn mobile" would be HAC/T3, not BS. No one uses BS anymore because they overgimped it. CCP needs to roll back some, but not all of the gimp so it's actually balanced. When everyone uses something (HAC), that's a good indication it's OP, when no one use something (BS), it's gimped. Once there's a nice mix, it's a sign that you've achieved balance.
I still use BS in small fast gangs

urdoinitrong, yes?
My gang also trolled me right up untill everyone died but me because I aligned faster than all the BC
The next day I managed to chase down a cruiser
Battleships are bonkers.

Originally by: Ephemeron The main problem in using BS for small roaming gangs is lack of speed and agility
That is much more important that ability of BS to hit smaller targets. Before The Great Nano Nerf that could be resolved by using expensive faction gear on PvP battleship.
Now dumping money into PvP BS is kind of stupid since you can easily get hotdropped or blobbed - cause you are so easy to catch and hold. It's not cost effective.
A battleship can easily have the agility and speed to keep up with a small battle cruiser gang.

Originally by: Ephemeron Who do you think will be tackled and held first of all? some HAC or a battleship?
That depends on the ISK value of the target ship. But yes I'd go for the HAC because it's non insurable and usually more expensive than a BS.
Sure if people sit still you go for most valuable target. But in actual combat you'd go for whatever you can catch. And battleship will be the easiest to catch and hold - resulting in death.
I flew 100s of battleships, so I tend to speak from experience
My phoon was faster than most BC and it aligned faster so my BS was one of the hardest to catch in the gang dispite being the biggest target. My hyperion and mega are not as fast but they easily out run the average drake.

Depends a lot on the BS type. While it works for the pest, it doesn't work for a mega.
Mega can get quite nippy and agile but it wont be going solo.

It is more about the ability to hit stuff at close range, what is extreme important for any solo/small gang bs that needs to fight at close quarters without totally relaying on massive tackling support. I for myself wouldn't even label the mega as a nimble and agile ship back in 2006(where it was nearly twice as fast as it is now).
Better than most drakes I encouter

A drake is 200 m/s faster and aligned 50% quicker than a fitted mega. Leave alone the nano drake gangs where you even get a headache in a nano pest. A nano drake goes 50% as faster and aligns twice as fast than a mega...
Then you are doing it wrong.

I doubt this. But yeah, feel free post your fit and explain your solo BS wisdom to me.
2x nano and MWD.
Everything else is up to you. Mega easily keeps up with or beats the average blob drake setup most people fly these days.

So the trick is still being slower than a pest with one nano, having the less effective dps, less buffer, less flexibility(one less high slot)?
I really have issues seeing your point. A nano drake is still nearly 100m/s quicker and aligned 5s faster.
9/10 drakes out there are not nano. I also question your numbers on the pest, as far as damage goes very few things are as powerfull as a rack of large neutron blasters. Yes the mega is slower than a pest and wont have the two heavy neuts but for raw power few come close. Range might be limited but seeing as most combat takes place at around 20-30k its not much of an issue.
