not sure the heavies will do much damage to a frig. the neut should stop him long enough to get out if ur already aligned and spamming warp tho.
anyway you'd only run if he has friends coming which is usually the case yes but arent we talking about a single frig taking on a single bs?
i dont think given two properly fit ships that its likely that the frig will win. |

Someone pointed out AB fit frigates. Also yes cap boosters are fine and dandy but they have to reload as well. If your pointing prop modding and tanking your going to get capped out at some point. |

Same goes for the BS... (running the neut etc)
I know we're talking solo here, but 90% of the time if a BS is tied down for more than a few mins... its in trouble.

AF's will have issues i dont disagree, but there are plenty of frigs, and T3 destroyers that could handle it.
(AF's need some major love)

How was the Raven fit? What missiles was he firing? Did you kill all of his drones? Was he managing his drones well if you were killing them?
Lots to factor in. |

Exactly... Fit a BS to fight frigs... Fit a Frig to fight BS's... Random encounter?...
So many factors... too many factors!

One legit concern for the solo BS pilot that only sports one heavy neut, is cap injected active tanked T3D. I cant think of a single BS in the game bar a Vindicator that could kill my standard Svipul fit once i have a tight orbit. Even in a straight T2 fit with crystals/links/pill its got 37 sig and a 600+ dps tank as well as the AB/Nos.
That is an absolute nightmare to shake off in a BS if you only have one neut. |

Only way i could see it happening would be if the T1 BS in question had no web/heavy neut. That way you could either hug it tight with an active tanked brawler or kite it assuming the BS had short ranged weaponry.
Both scenarios require bad fits on the Battleships side with no appreciation for covering your weaknesses. |

Honestly i wish it was specialised but its not. Sadly its not its just a variant of the old pre-nerf fit everyone used with a Aux power core to make it fit. Check my killboard if you want to check it. Anyway going off topic but other T3D active fits are just as dangerous to a BS with only one utility neut and not enough webs to make main guns apply well. |

Most people arent going to be running a full set of crystals and a ogb. Hell a fair amount of roams still dont bring proper boosters. |

I am just speaking worst case scenario which is important. Remove links and its still a huge threat, remove implants/drugs and your looking at ISK poor or new pvpers which will never be an issue for a competent BS pilot. |

A single heavy neut can **** up a cap boosting t3 dessie, assuming you make him run his rep/sb some, which, really, you should be able to unless your BS had no business going in space solo (i assume we talking about solo BS, otherwise it's kinda a moot point) |

When you factor in a small cap boosters reload time as well as a NOS it is more than reasonable to say that a T3D can pin a BS with only one heavy neut for a very long time. Like you say it depends entirely on the amount of damage you are taking and thus the battleship you are up against.
Edit: Because you edited your argument. |

The links and sig reduction would be cause of concern.. but i mean what can really kill a linked, HG crystal, BP'd anything without a blob? Id consider fighting you in my application fit typhoon.. but id be more confident in my FI phoon. But thats cause i gets 2 neuts :)
Ive killed linked stuff before, but you throw in the best of the best at a fit, its going to be monsterous regardless of what it is. Hell i see dead terrorist bads fly around in linked breachers all the time. Although i do enjoy shooting their links when they are in the middle of a fight.
Using the holy grail of cancer fits doesnt mean BS are weak either. No offense ofc. But you are probably using svipul because its still broken and continues to scale exceedingly well with links, crystals, drugs.

I was merely pointing out a new concern for the solo BS pilot who rely on just one Heavy neut. I also never said BS were weak as a result of this I was simply pointing out an issue they face in the current meta.
Only just started flying Svipuls at the start of this month and have been enjoying it thus far (hard not to with how OP they are).

well, we're talking about a BS that can apply no damage to a t3d, so something with long range weaps, no web, no missiles, no drones... why would anyone go solo in something like that
a frig would be just as capable at pinning down such a bs |

Fair enough. However, its not only a solo BS issue. That same svipul would also ruin most BC, cruisers, destroyers and other frigs/t3ds in solo scenarios as well.

Here you have 3 videos that i have made through the last years where i mainly use Battleships. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i58srJMfrfM2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u2YSu0ugts3. This one is special considering this was done in high sec: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ-_61zfTE8If you feel that you don't know enough about Battleships, you can ask me, because i know everything about them. Does this include Marauders? I haven't used Marauders in any PVP yet. I had one Kronos ready to be used for PVP, but it died .
But i believe Marauders should be really good aswell. Just ask 'big miker' about that.
Here is a list of my current EVE / PVP videos:
1: Asteroid Madness
2: Clash of the Empires
3: Suddenly Spaceships fighting in Tama

Agree on all points but I think the rise of T3Ds in the current meta does hurt solo BS to a greater extent than T2 Frigs. The huge resist profiles, excellent active tanks and low sigs/solid speeds pose a far greater threat to a solo BS pilot than any T1 or T2 frig ever could. |

Agreed my point being its another thing to ensure your BS is capable of dealing with when undocking with no support. Even in the best case scenario they can be tricky blighters to drop quickly if they are fit and flown well. Imo the addition of them into the meta poses one of the greatest threats to solo BS pvp thus far in New Eden. |

ah well, T3Ds meta is hurting everything really, it completely obliterated any sense in undocking a AF, they can put the hurt on a lot of cruisers, they can murder frig gangs without breaking a sweat, t1 dessies are the stuff of ancient myths by now
I would actually argue BS is the class less hurt next to BCs... which are actually pretty great at killing t3ds |
