its because between the compensation skills and the nerfing the falcon took its just not worth bringing a falcon alt. Which is why everyone has a booster alt instead. |

What exactly is a cruiser gang fitted with smartbombs going to do to a fleet of blaster megathrons other than melt?

But heres the main reason why battleships dont worry about frigates... MOST can at the very least field a flight of light drones (no bonuses)... multiply that by the number of battleships... assign to say.... a hic? Lach? Hug?and suddenly you have Hundreds of drones buzzing around your head. Most battleships wont even waste the ammo to shoot you.
The best tanked frigate will only take < 1/2 of the battleship's damage. Your know nothing about fitting smaller ships. A cruiser could wipe out a battleships drones in seconds. BCs can tank almost as well and gank as well as battleships. In addition to their smaller sig, they can mitigate the aggregate damage of the battleship fleet. Yes a battleship better tank at least that well because, it can not mitigate any damage with it's sig. No matter what hits it, it will likely hit for full damage.

It doesn't matter. People always hid behind the Megathron/Domi. Those battleships make the mpst sense, but the majority of BS is this game don't. Megathrons have perfect gank, perfect tank, and a good slot configuration. This is rare among the battleship line up.
However, they rarely get a lock on smaller ships. And a falcon will make it a chancy, but one sided fight here. And if anyone ever used a sensor damp on it... The Mega would have to sacrifice speed or web and therefore will never catch it's prey. Its a cool but very needy ship. |

Half the damage from a battleships weapons is still enough to alpha a lot of frigates

And said cruiser will be getting slammed by the battleships main weapons.

You cannot argue your side because you have zero experience to fall back on when faced with someone with vastly more experience flying the hulls in question. Battleships are fine and in the best shape they have ever been in with a huge number of differing options.

Come on now Baltec1 The newbie doesnt understand that this is a paper rock scissors game.
Yes you can fit some smartbombs to cruisers to kill things like drones. But what about webs scrams and target painters all of which make you easier to hit?
What about the fact that if you swiss army knife your fits as much as he is talking you dont actually have the damage to kill a bs?
BCs sig radius are big enough to be easily track by L guns.
I am almost tempted to let him pick a battleship for me to fit and he can bring 5 friends and we shall see who wins. |

btw battleships are supposed to be high sp plaforms. just because most nullsec fleet fits are lower sp to get more numbers doesnt mean you shouldnt aim higher if you want to solo or small gang with battleships. |

I'm an small ship pilot .. check my killboard, I fly mostly frigs.

Make a fit and say what skills are needed for a cruiser and see if any of the BS supporters can match it (with skill im mor etalking about time to train from new made character)
Make a baseline for what you think is worth the train and compare that to what a BS need for equal benefit. |

It takes just as long to skill into t2 cruisers/frigates and even longer for things like command ships and t3. SP is a non argument. You want long skill trains? You can have the SP to fly a competent raven in the time it takes to train caldari dread V

It very much depends on what you're doing. Many L4's and pretty much all L5's are best done in a Battleship. There are also certain other PvE endeavors in which a Battleship is the more efficient choice - full clearing (not blitzing) missions come to mind.
That said, I generally agree with you. The time investment required to train into the hull and necessary weapons/modules is better applied to getting into smaller T2 hulls, which are inherently more efficient in terms of the SP:Productivity ratio. When I first got into EvE, I trained into battleships because I thought it was the only way to do L4's and L5's (mind you, this was before T3 Strategic Cruisers). In hindsight, I should have trained into HAC's earlier on. |

This guy went from
All Battleships suck
All T1 Battleships Suck, my experience proves it
All T1 exclude drone and Gal Battleships suck
All Battleships suck because the SP req is to high
Everyone should instead train to t3's and HAC's because it's...easier....lol
Tis a Silly thread indeed.

I don't see the problem here. This is good advice based on the game design principles. No ship has a superior tank except speed and signature. That is why CCP had to re-design speed/sig tanking. Speed/sig tanking is still one of the best ways to mitigate damage. Therefore, battleships tank the least because, they have the highest sig and slowest speed. Ship HP mean less than the ability to reduce damage by speed and sig. So players should stay in smaller ships, anything else is just a waste of skill points.
Everyone opposed to my post has the same things in common with their ideas:
1.Battleships need support (from smaller ships) 2. You have to fit it right (Anti speed modules) 3. It has to fit a bunch of tank (because it soaks up more damage than any other ship(cap ships excluded)) 4. They are fine if they are (have natural bonus to anti speed/drones, tracking speed, or some other anti small ship ) 5. No counter to cap ships except: "run for your lives". 6. SP requirements are higher for other ships if you want to fly a battleship without core skills & weapons.... (no need to comment) 7. Snark
That's all they've got. Typical responses from the "play the game my way" crowd. They must trade battleships in the market and don't want the bad press to slow down their sales.
If there's nothing wrong with battleships? Then why are they so needy?

My Armageddon fits drones, neuts, and a web.

I cried a little bit when I saw that. Tears of joy. Just, there was something so beautiful about that. I am completely amazed by the skill and fortitude displayed by that gentlemen. I didn't know such a thing were possible. Especially with such a thing as missiles, I hear so often that missiles are a joke in PvP but that man freaking made it look easy.
I still can't quite understand what I just saw. Like, all that massive DPS and yet he managed to keep his shields up. And that smartbomb he never used even when surrounded by drones, like did he just decide clearing out enemy drones would make it too easy???
I am completely and utterly flaberghasted. Much respect for that man.

That's a few billion of isk into the ship and modules. In the video he said he lost marauders to fleets with logistics, neuts, or capital ships/black ops. Still, they can be impressive against the right fleet composition. That can be said of any combat ship, though.
I fly a Kronos, but it is a PvE fit. I'm still debating whether to train Marauders 5 and have one for PvP once I get back into it. |

As an experienced highsec douchebag I can attest to this being a totally unrealistic scenario. The typical highsec battleship fleet consists of Vindicators/Navy Megathrons/Typhoon fleet issues with Bhaalgorns/Armageddons with Guardian logistics. They pack so much webbing and neuting power and hit point buffer that even a large, organized assault frigate gang wouldn't go near them with a ten foot barge pole.
And because neutral alts and knowing who can shoot you any substantial fleet sees an opposing fleet coming 95% of the time. Even if a a frigate fleet caught a straggler from a battleship fleet because they by chance didn't notice the main fleet they'd bail immediately when 10 more faction battleships and remote reps landed.
Battleship doctrines (when the involved parties actually have defined doctrines) are still fairly dominant in "serious" highsec engagements. The only thing more common is armor T3s.
When I go to the home system of some other mercenary alliance the thing I expect to see them bring out to shoot back is vindicators and guardians, not enyos. |
