So... What kind of weapons systems will the new battleships be fielding? speculations? I'm just wondering if the Caldari are going to stay true to the missile slinging, or go to a rail platform, or if there is going to be a Khanid MK II Battleship.

The new battleships will be armed with rubber band guns and paper football missiles.
Seriously.. noone has a clue yet.. all we know is
There is a "mission" battleship and BlackOps battleships included with a total of 20 new T2 ships.
Thats all we know there is no more information. ------------ This is not War... This is pest control - Dalek Sek

Considering how eve is 95% male, that might be terrifyingly overpowered.
Seriously though, My guess: Caldari - Missiles Minmattar - Artillery/Autocannons + maybe drones Gallente - Rail/Blasters + drones Amarr - Missiles*

The non covert ops t2 BS for amarr better not be missiles.

admittedly I am biased, since I have nearly 1/3 of my sp in gunnery (emphasis on large lasers), and only 3.5k in missiles.

Edited by: Akita T on 25/09/2007 01:11:54 NOTE: names for skills and ships are not final, and this is highly speculative, but "best guess" at the moment.
Black Ops : L1 Black Ops (prerequisite L4 recon and L4/L5 EWar and/or L4 cloaking) + L5 racial BS static/role bonus : -99% CPU use for "black ops jump bridge" (skill prereq L4/L5 cyno and L4/L5 jump drive op) Amarr -> Armageddon hull, Carthum Conglomerate, bonuses nos/neut amount and range (or just range, and large energy optimal) Caldari -> Scorpion hull, Lai Dal, bonuses ECM strength and large hybrid optimal Gallente -> Dominix hull, CreoDron, bonuses warp disruptor range and RSD effectiveness Minmatar -> Typhoon hull, Core Complexion, bonuses web range and TP effectiveness Resists only slightly above normal (probably 20/10 or max 30/15).
Violators : L1 Violators (prereq L4 HAC and L4/L5 AWU and/or L5 Energy Grid Upgrades) + L5 racial BS ??? role bonus : +20% cargohold/dronebay per Violator skill level or somesuch Amarr -> Apocalypse hull, Khanid Innovations, bonuses torpedo RoF/damage (base cap recharge and armor resists) Caldari -> Raven hull, Kaalakiota, bonuses shield resist and torp/cruise kin damage Gallente -> Megathron hull, Duvolle Labs, bonuses large hybrid falloff and either large hybrid rof or 2nd damage bonus Minmatar -> Tempest hull, Boundless Creations, bonuses large projectile tracking and falloff Resists slightly raised, nowhere near HAC level though (maybe 40/25 instead of 75/50 of AF/HACs... or maybe 30/20/10/10).

They did say something about versatility, and if you see one, you dont know exactly what you'll be facing, so maybe it'd be a split weapon bonus, like for the amarr one:
8 highs, 6 turret, 6 missiles. bonus to laser cap, laser dmg, missile RoF, tracking disruptor/nos+neut

Well this is what we know.
Quote: The long-range and high-versatility Battleship nicknamed the "Violators". Their versatility will work for many play styles but we also wanted something which would work for PvE play styles. This doesn't mean they will work well for only mission runners, so there is no need to brand them with the misnomer of the "mission ship".
I don't know what to make of this... typically tech 2 takes a signicant amount of time to do properly..... and really the battleships do this job well enough for missions. I honestly don't know what they could do exactly to make it better.
and the other
Quote: Infiltration and covert operation. It has a small jump portal for other covert ships. They are called the Black Ops. They are black. 'Nuff said. (Well, not really, but that's a different blog).
This one really intrigues me. 100% know this will be the hyperion and that this will definately take the whole exploration and cov-ops thing to a new level. A sort of ship which can not only find the exploration sites but clear them also at the same time. I don't know how exactly this small jump portal will work.

I'd like to see the minmatar ones not being split weapon system nightmares.
Something like an upgraded phoon, more missile hardpoints, gun bonus becomes drone bonus. Make it worthwhile putting damage mods on.

Since so many of you seem to be focusing on the tech II battleships of Amarr, I'd just like to throw my wish-list in there as well:
Violator: Khanid Apocalypse - yes, though I have only 15 thousand skill points in missiles and just over eight million in gunnery, I want a missile battleship. Come on now: surely those of us who run missions - and we are, after all, the target group for this ship - would like to be able to choose our damage type? How hot would it be to get Raven practicality in a hull as sexy as a dark green Apocalypse?
Black-Ops: Much though I'd love to own a tech II Armageddon, I don't think it would look right in black. An Abaddon would, on the other hand, look positively kick-ass, so the choice is clear.

This is actually correct. Except the rubber bands are roughly the size of the moon and the paper footballs have such sharp edges they can paper cut right through hulls.

I wouldn't mind a missile-ship perse, but a ship with bonuses for torpedos only and probably without the missile velocity bonus of the raven makes me a sad panda.
