Ever since I started playing EVE, something has been bugging me. For every ship size class (small, medium, large and the various capital types) , there are 2 sub-classes. Think Carriers and Supercarriers, Cruisers and Battlecruisers, Frigates and Destroyers, Dreads and Titans. But there are only Battleships in the Large size class. I think that in the next update, that should be changed. Thus, I propose the Warship.
The Warship would be a combination of Carrier and Battleship, but without the specialty bonuses of either. It would not have as good of fleet-support bonuses of a Carrier, and would not have all the weapon damage bonuses of a Battleship. It would also not be able to fit special modules, such as Triage systems. However, it would have a 5% per level bonus to its racial damage type. It would be able to field 5 fighters at a time and would NOT be able to assign them. However, it would have enough space to hold 2 or 3 flights of fighters at a time. It would also be able to fit a very large number of large turrets, (8-12).
The Warship would be a sort of "stepping stone" from Battleships to Carriers. Its cost would reflect that, probably somewhere between 400 and 800 million for the hull. It would have 50% more tank and lots more powergrid than a battleship as well. It would also not be able to fit a jump drive. Its large tank would be countered by Capital-level sig radius and speed.
Please respond with comments for improvement! |

What if I hate drones and want a stepping stone to dreads instead of carriers? |

I guess you could say Dreads are kind of like a sub-class of Battleships DUST514 isn't on PC because CCP wants 2 different communities influencing each other, not people tabbing out to give themselves Orbital Strikes. (Also they don't want to cannibalise their existing playerbase) |

I dunno... Maybe there could be 2 types of warships. One is the aforementioned carrier thingy, and the other is similar but with killer turret bonuses and a **** TON (10? 12?) of highslots... |

frigs and dessies are NOT the same ship size... cruisers and BCs are NOT the same ship size... carriers and supers are most definately NOT the same ship size...
this whole premise is nonsense. |

Worst idea ever. Do you even know how much fighters costs, what they are good for, or what they can hit?
So you want to take a hull that cost half a billion, and requires another 100 million in fighters before you even start fitting it. Then you want it to do a max of 500 DPS that can't even be fully applied to battleships (or smaller).
Why would I ever use that? I can get more DPS out of cruisers for a fraction of the price. |

Well dreads are scond calss of battleships. In fact a dread is only a glorified battleship and can be used as such with the Siege module it does the DPS of the battleship. This Warship simply does not fit there is no real purpose for a new battleship hull at the moment.
A lot of people have requested T3 Battleship if you compare this idea to T3 cruisers you see its pointles because we already have battleship fufulling all the roles so T3 BS would also not make much sense but i would like to see them anyhow.
For instance T3 C - T3 BS:
- Can be covops ship - Blackops
- Can be a pve ship - Mauraders
- Can be a pvp ship - Battleships
- Can be a sniper - Apoc, Mael, Rokh
- Can be a solo pvp - Faction battleships
So battleship have all roles fufiled.

So...
Why would anyone ever fly anything else? A battleship with 8 large guns, 75,000m3 drone bay and fighters? Do you really think something like that wouldn't be hilariously overpowered? |
