yes I realize the tittle is a complete spoiler. but I had myself a little idea a while back. sleep deprivation will do that to you. and I started thinking about how with the advent of the tier three battle cruisers. the natural continuation of that thought would be to fit capital guns onto a battle ship. now I went on a head and started trying to figure it out. seeing which ships I could stretch and bend until I got what I wanted from them. namely a sickening amount of power grid. and it is possible. each race has a ship that you can beat and bend until it does what you want. I worked on the fleet issue tempest. and after a lot of fiddling on EVEHQ I got it to work with the auto cannon 6x2500 repeating artillery. and then I went off and tried to build it. the modules needed were fairly extreme. two officer reactor controls and a whole slew of dead space. but i got there. then when I went to fit the turret it's self . denied. too large to fit on the hull.
I think this is something that could be a hell of a lot of fun in game. I run incursions. that was what I was buildign this Frankenstein for.
come on guys just think of the cool factor. of watching the ship packing a gun that actually looks menacing. something reminiscent to world war two battle ships. plyign the seas and beating the ever living stuffing out of each other.
I want to see this. a lot of my fellow pilots that were involved for and against me doing this want to see this. and it was suggested by the polite gm that dealt with my silly petition that i post up here and try and garner some attention.
come on. make a super tornado. it will be so cool. plus you could do somethgin like that for the other races too I guess.
Thanks. DL |

Suddenly, New Eden was burning.
It was as if some kid had invented a super battleship, that had the firepower of three dreadnoughts, but without the price tag and scan resolution. Destroying starbases had become so fast and cheap, that 90% of the galaxy's industrial capacity was destroyed in the first week. Supercapital fleets that were dropped to protect these structures were alphaed by the thousand-strong fleets of these new battleships as soon as they landed on grid. Gates were camped by tracking-linked and remote-seboed minidreads.
Wars flashed on the map, but soon all fires died out- the economy had collapsed. Hisec was abondoned, nullsec was a desolate plain of ruins. Last remnants of humanity escaped into wormholes and lived there until their last ships got blown up, but most just sat in their darkened chambers, waiting for the end of their subscription.
After the Great FIre, the kid was found and interviewed. He was devastated when he realized what his "cool spaceship" had done, and he promised never ever again to suggest anything on the public forums.

Old idea. Still terrible.
There are at least two other active threads on this subject, use the search function before starting a new thread, especially this sort.
The problem is balance.
Well skilled and T2 fit BSs are capable of putting out in excess of 1500 dps already. By adding capital weapons to the mix, your either escalating the game once more or you will not beat that bench mark and the idea is pointless. So, either way OP or pointless.
Also, the reason capital weapons are too big to fit on Battleships is they are the same size as the ship, if not bigger. Slap a medium weapon on a frigate and see what it looks like. The reason it works on tier 3 BCs is that they are similar in size to BSs already
It will be cool is not a good enough reason to give someone a ship that could insta pop a BC.
The only exception I have to this was the idea of an anti capital super bomber using a BC hull ans citadel torps. Even then I imagine it would basically be a flying launcher rather than a ship with launchers. This I would get behind. MODULAR DRONES

This. The only battleship hull I'd get behind is a form of T2 with alternative weapon for the race (say, a T2 Rokh sidegrade to Golem or a Khanid (missile) Abaddon). Beyond this, I'm strongly opposed to the idea of introducing capital sized weapons to high sec unless you bring in Carriers and Dreadnaughts as well (and that's not going to happen, nor is it a good idea). |

A Khanid torp Abaddon would be just about the most boss ******* thing in the history of eve. |

Did anyone even read the whole post? Its a multi-billion fit. Not a new class of ship. He just wants the ability to put it on the hull. And try putting 1400's on a rifter they look cool. |

what he is asking, is WHY is there and arbitrary barrier preventing you from fitting a weapon on a ship you have ROOM FOR> he satted he fitted the ship to have enough CPU/PG to fit the gun, but ebcause his ship wasnt a capital the GAME STOPPED HIM.
this is unsandboxy, if OP wants to fit capital guns with absolutely not racking ability or damage bonuses to his now multi-billion ISK battleship to siege POS's, i say let him. |
