Here's for seeing t2 tier 3 battleships with direct combat roles! Khanid Abby with missiles and a tank to top the damnation! Roden Hyperion with reps, drone bonuses, AND big blaster damage! Core Complexion Maelstrom with reps, damage, tracking, and range bonuses! Ishukone rokh with...range. I guess Ishukone aren't very exciting with their ships... |

You'd have to reeeheeeheeeaaallly play with concepts to get some disctinction out of them.
Personally I think it's about time for the "Super Heavy Interdictor" concept. Each one is the previously tier 3 hull of their race's battleship, while using their secondary weapon system. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Very happy that the new pirate BS rebalance posting states, that the Rattlesnake will keep its sentry bonus. May reduce the need for another drone based BS hull quite a bit.
Yet my statement that i would love a ship that gets at least about 90% of their DPS purely from drones, even better if it was 100%, and could still compete with Rattlesnake or Marauder DPS numbers.
It is always good to have choices, to be able to use more than one ship. To have more than one ships that fit the role, so you can pick the one you like best... or maybe pick all of them, to have some variation. To fly them depending on mood or situation.
So my initial statement, that i feel the empires lack t2 battleship hull size choices still stands. The game is a lot better when it comes to frigates or cruisers. Lots of choices there. For missiles for example you can go caldari, minmatar, amarr sometimes even gallente.
Would want this freedom of choice for the other empires weapon systems as well.
Quite sad that my posting here merely triggered "that is way overpowered" responses. Without real arguments. Just hearing "drones" and automatically tooting "overpowered". Tell me why are they overpowered?
Drones have quite their drawbacks, can be destroyed for example. The Rattlesnake for example has no tracking or range bonus for the drones (only the Dominix has that - so do not assume that any other drone boats are automatically as good when it comes to range or actually applying this damage). Also omnidirectional trackin links work quite differently now too.
So there was no real "this is what the drone boat should be like, what i want them to do" descriptions. It was more like "would be nice to have a second or even third one" - without stating or giving details on what they should be capable of, besides the fact that they should have marauder like DPS numbers. So if they turn out strong or overpowered, only other factors on them, and actual practical tests could show. My experiences with the Rattlesnake and the sentries in PvE tells me, that their damage application is quite flawed in many situations.
