The same way there aren't any counters for pirate faction battleships, rite?
RITE?
In my experience, pirate faction battleships are very rare in anything bigger then small gang warfare. While they can be extremely powerful on a per ship basis, they are very expensive, typically easy to hit targets. Theorycraft a faction BS gang vs 50-75% the isk value of nado fleet and some suicide tackle, is not likely to end well for the faction BSes. |

Now, what would be the difference between those and a useful Tech 2 Battleship? I imagine it should be similar to the differences between pirate frigates and Assault Ships. The Tech 2s might lose out on mobility and | or utility, but should gain in outright tank and damage (and maybe damage projection as well).
So what is wrong with that? Other than :butthurt: Dorian Trollmak. Not trollin' |

Their expensive and rarely seen because of the way they are acquired. You can't build them in Null. |

When the Marauders are overhauled it would be good a second marauder for each race with the secondary weapon systems used, torps for Amarr & Minnie, drones for Gallente and rails for Caldari.
Though one potential new role, capital killer. Similar to tier 3 BCs, oversized weapons so unable to effectively take on something there own size, but you'd need fewer to take down a cap than regular BSs. Handy for taking on your enemy on their home, cyno jammed, turf. |

What I mean is you can crank out other Tech 2 ships, pirate ships require LP points |

You can also just get the blueprints in a drop.

Apparently you missed the chart where they describe what they're going for in terms of tech.
Tech 2 means specialization
Navy and pirates are tiers of normal
Tech 3 is versatility.
Anyway, what they should do for a new tech 2 is a Mini Carrier thing.
Stay with me on this one.
- They would be based off of BS Tier 3 hulls (Abaddon, Hyperion, Maelstrom, Rokh) - Bonuses to logistics - Can fit warfare link modules - Can use up to five fighters (hard limit) - Cannot store ships in a corp hanger. - No hardpoints
Generally less useful than the regular and super carriers, but it can travel through gates. |
