Haas Tabris Ice Fire Warriors Late Night Alliance 0	Posted - 2012.05.01 02:22:00 - [1] - Quote Been thinking about this one for a while, especially after the tier 3 bc's came out that could fit BS weapons.... WHAT IF there were a "light dread" class of ships that was about twice the size and cost of a tier 3 battleship and could fit 2 dread-class weapons but could only fit battleship armor and shield mods? And WHAT IF this ship had a jump drive AND could also jump through gates? And WHAT IF the skills to fly them were not that much more expensive than the BS skillbooks? I think this would be uber cool. And tons of fun. And might just shake up lowsec and 0.0 fights a bit. But that's me. Any thoughts? Comments? Trolls?

Nylith Empyreal Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 109	Posted - 2012.05.01 03:05:00 - [5] - Quote Along with a frigate class that can use mediums right? Personally I wouldn't mind a bs, but you have to admit this particular ship style would be kind of cheesey to use over and over again. "Oh, you can't help that," said the troll: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" -ásaid the forumwarrior. "You must be," said the troll, "or you wouldn't have come here."
MotherMoon Native Freshfood Minmatar Republic 579	Posted - 2012.05.01 03:10:00 - [6] - Quote Actually, this gives me an interesting idea. Maybe a light dread could be a battleship that can only fit a single dread sized weapon. AND 4 battleship sized weapons. It would only be useful for pvp, but it would be a cheaper way to bring newer players into a siege battle?
DelBoy Trades Trotter Independent Traders. 356	Posted - 2012.05.01 03:30:00 - [7] - Quote The sensible approach would be to build on what we already have. 'New' tier battlecruiser has battleship guns, so a new tier battleship with capital guns seems plausible. A frigate with cruiser guns next!? 0_0 Damn nature, you scary!

Culmen Culmenation 51	Posted - 2012.05.01 04:01:00 - [9] - Quote Or perhaps a BS with a BS sized siege module. Does everything the Dread sized one does, just on a BS. So a few light dread battleships warp into on a Dickstar POS in high sec, hit seige and go to town. There is a fine line between a post and a signature.
Masamune Dekoro School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 100	Posted - 2012.05.01 04:06:00 - [10] - Quote Seige Mode for battleships would be awesome.

Markus Reese Debitum Naturae ROMANIAN-LEGION 143	Posted - 2012.05.01 04:11:00 - [11] - Quote I would be more for a dread gun using battleship than a siege mode battleship. To me it seems more useful depending on how they are set up, possibly more dead titans we could hope for. Well, maybe siege mode battleship would be interesting, entire fleet stuck in lockdown then hotdropped, would be a turkeyshoot.
Jayrendo Karr Suns Of Korhal Terran Commonwealth 75	Posted - 2012.05.01 04:21:00 - [12] - Quote tier 3 BC's was over the line. Next we'll have tankless titans with 8 doomsdays.

Thats why theyre taking the Drake's away. You are on crack. What about the hurricane? BCs have lots of tank for T1 and it is fine... they fit right in there between BS and cruisers. What are you suggesting the Nighthawk and Slipnir get their tanks removed too? That's not even an argument. The new ones don't have tanks simply because of their new DPS potential. It's the give and take we call balance. There shouldn't be a WTF PWN machine... I know some Dram pilots that regularly slaughter BCs. The Drake is fine it just takes time to kill... if a BS is going to get the ability to fit dread weapons a Raven or Domi should be able to out-tank it. If a BS could have that kind of DPS while maintaining BS tanking ability (like an Abaddon.. man those things are tough) and could have dread guns it would become a silver bullet system and that is not balanced at all.

T2 perhaps, so you can't dipshit out and go herp duurrrpppp I fly cheap, therefore I get to bash a POS uber cheap at no cost to me in seconds. Plus they get a tracking bonus

Weaselior GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 2986	Posted - 2012.05.01 16:25:00 - [20] - Quote xl guns are freaking useless without siege mode or the massive titan damage bonus

TWHC Assistant 40	Posted - 2012.05.01 16:49:00 - [21] - Quote CCP has created another special case again with the Tier3 BCs. After Tech3 Cruisers were introduced was everyone wishing for T3 frigates, to T3 battleships, to T3 mining ships. Now you are basically doing the same again and are asking for a copy of the Tier3 BCs. As much fun as this topic is - I want an Incursus with an XL turrent \o/ - do I only see a small chance of anything similar emerging from CCP soon. They will want to see the full impact of their latest idea first and I am still a bit puzzled by why they introduced these Tier3 BCs. The Tier3 BCs are apparently the new standard in ganking. So for all I know could we get to see a Tier2 Destroyers that can fit medium weapons. We have so few destroyer models and they are used for ganking, too. Seriously, though. My best guess is that CCP had some good ship models at hand useful for being battlecruisers, but they were afraid of introducing yet another ship with medium guns. We already have lots of T1/T2/T3 cruisers and battlecruisers all with medium guns. I can see how they had this idea of fitting large guns on a third type of battlecruiser. If there is going to be a new battleship then it will likely come with large guns as usual and Tier3 BCs will stay a special case for a while. One can always fit smaller weapons anyway.
RubyPorto Profoundly Disturbed 1469	Posted - 2012.05.01 17:03:00 - [22] - Quote High Damage, Jump Drive, ability to use gates? Looks like a Black Ops to me. Dreads sacrifice a lot to get their DPS. Your proposed shiptype would send dreads the way of the EAF. Single-Shard, *Player Driven*Sandbox. 5 words. That's what makes it special.
Lucas Schuyler Mortis Noir. 18	Posted - 2012.05.01 17:10:00 - [23] - Quote I think this is premature. There is hardly enough of a role for Dreads as is, that I think giving Dread capabilities to a Battleship would kind of undercut Dreads too much. Dreads moreso than any other Capital really can only be used with specific structures in place of a large Alliance. To me this thread is saying "Hey, we need solo/small gang Dreads." And I am not sure whether that is really appropriate.
Omu Matol Repo. 10	Posted - 2012.05.01 17:11:00 - [24] - Quote XL sized guns on anything other then a dread, looks either totally bad ass or totally ridiculous, depending on your aesthetic. http://i.imgur.com/qCT6B.jpg

It would only be useful for pvp, but it would be a cheaper way to bring newer players into a siege battle? I could see that working, the capital sized weapon could be in a spinal mount. I do think however if its just one gun it needs a big per level dmg bonus. I would use the following slot layout. Amarr 7/5/7 1 XL turret 5 L turrets 1 utility Minmatar 7/6/6 1 XL turret 5 L turrets 1 utility Caldari 7/7/5 1 XL turret 5 L turrets 1 utility Gallente 6/7/8 1 XL turret 4 L turrets 1 utility I actually disagree with the glass cannon concept for this. I think this thing should be very sturdy since it will be shot at by Caps/Scaps. Also think I'd just Bastardize existing 3rd Tier BSs and not make a new hull. Build the narrative as these were a rush job to fill a niche. It could be a solid cap killer in numbers but still have the firepower to deal with BS/BC support 'perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim' Be patient and tough; some day this pain will be useful to you. ~I fly spaceships~

No Holes Barred 27	Posted - 2012.05.01 19:43:00 - [33] - Quote Weaselior wrote: xl guns are freaking useless without siege mode or the massive titan damage bonus People aren't 1) Reading this entirely correct response and 2) never fly with XL guns unsieged, apparently. XL guns are absolute ***. It wouldn't be worth creating a whole new ship model that could fit XL guns. The only "viable" suggestion in this thread is the Siege Module, and even that isn't really good. What would be the actual role* of this ship? Because with the upcoming ship lines, most of the existing battleships already fit into a line (aside from Support)

IHaveCandyGetInTheVan69 Angry Mustellid Iron Oxide. 151	Posted - 2012.05.02 00:06:00 - [43] - Quote The ship you are looking for already exists. I love how people who post these actually think that jump drives are a negative aspect on capital ships. You could not be further from the truth. I really don't see the call for this besides highsec POS removal, which may as well be done AFK in a geddon. You are already able to fit dreads with sensor boosters, tracking computers and damage mods to the point where they become glass cannon, and I really don't see the point of doing that on anything with any less tank than that or it'd just get volleyed. Also without a jump drive (only way too keep it balanced) there would be no surprise factor and they'd just make for easy kills.

Use these things mixed in with a support fleet to kill caps, just with a lower barrier to entry and a bit easier to use (no cyno required). Right now it's almost a 2 bil investment (not to mention months of skilling) to go from BS to Capitals. The game skips from BS to Dread / Carrier with nothing in between. I see that as a gap. Think of when they added BC's to fill the gap between cruisers and battleships. How cool was that?

I think it would be awesome because it would open up new ship lines just for low sec. would be awesome if each of the three parts of space unlocked more and more ships. You pull out Capital from lowsec, and replace them with some lowsec ships now hat you have an area of space without caps to factor in.

I know, right? I mean, by the time I actually got my carrier in 2008, I knew it wouldn't be the helicopter-** solo fleet-killing monstrosity I had assumed capital ships were when I first started playing, but a carrier puts out DPS a little above a battleship (or lower, if you've got high skills and a well-fit battleship), can't jump through gates and is way more expensive. Carriers are useful in large groups but unless you've got a very good tactic or are lucky, alone or in groups of two or three they're killmail bait.
