Not true.... t2 fit and rigged cruisers cost you maybe 10m less to loose compared to an insured bc.

I think the main solution is going to come in the form of reduced relative cost while also granting a slight net performance buff across almost all cruisers. These suggestions are in addition the potential tier removal that we are all so eagerly waiting for,
1. Change cruisers to use small rigs, or change bcs to use large rigs.
2. Increase fitting on almost all t1 cruisers by a small margin... Both the thorax and omen should be able to fit a 1600mm plate with smallest guns (electrons or focused pulse) w/o the use of a fitting rigs or mods.
3. Increase scan resolution to allow for slightly slower locks than destroyers, but significantly faster than bcs. Idea is to make it almost impossible for a BC to exceed a cruisers lock time w/o significantly hindering fit.
4. Increase cruiser velocities and agility by a small margin as well as reduce cruiser sig by a very small margin. Idea is to make BCs universally slower than cruisers even when comparing nano bc vs buffer cruiser. |

T2 cruisers... most need help, thats a whole different can of worms though.
By carrying over the speed, sig, and lock time advantages i've proposed for t1s I think you will find that many of these HACs become far more viable. Granted, in a strait up slug fest bcs should still have a slight advantage over hacs however with logi on field the relative remote tank on the hacs is already and will remain substantially more powerful than that same remote tank on bcs. This is due to the full fledged t2 resists that HACs and many t2 ships are endowed with as well as the increased speed and significantly reduced sig compared to bcs.
At least that is my take on it. |

T1 cruiser hulls don't cost 50 mil.

I swear, some people have the absolute WORST reading comprehension.
Truth is that after fitting up your t1 cruiser with all the bells and whistles, like t2 mods, rigs, faction ammo, t2 drones.... It's going to cost you slightly less to loose after insurance compared to a similar fit bc for a substantially less capable combat platform... This would be fine if maybe the BC took a significant amount more sp to fly however they don't. This leads to people ignoring t1 cruisers all together and just fast tracking twards bcs. Something that has been commonplace for years now....
ALL of the advantages a cruiser gives you over a bc can be mitigated with the additional slots bcs have other than sig radius. Sig radius is the only real advantage the cruiser has over a bc when you really break it down. This is the fundamental issues people are trying to have addressed....
oh yeah, almost forgot
"It's pretty silly, since AFs will lose you more money per performance in many (most?) situations."
AFs are t2, no t2 hull has ever or will ever be on the same "money per performance" as t1 hulls. Your fail argument is exactly that, a fail argument. Next! |
