CCP when are we going to see some faction Battlecruisers...there are faction cruisers,frigs,and BS.

We are already working on revamping 20 faction ships while adding 4 new navy battleships for Dominion; the changes are not even finalized and yet you are still thirsty for more?

Ok then, let me teach you how NPC corporations build navy ships.

You will need:

* A standard battlecruiser hull
* A 5cm long paint brush
* A paint bucket filled with navy color of choice
* A small rock pick
* A small wood gavel

First, move your favorite battlecruiser in your hangar like that. See how I do it? Good. Now, take the small rock pick and wood gavel, and start carving an extra low/med/high-slot in the hull like this. Be careful, otherwise you may end cutting that antenna there, and you really don't want that to happen unless you want to wait twenty minutes to lock something with your ship.

When you have finished adding the slot of your choice, press and hold your left mouse bouton with one hand, and with the other, using the 5cm long paint brush, slowly start applying the camouflage skin theme of the chosen Empire Navy to the hull. Be gentle, otherwise you may overlap that bridge window or launch bay I point here and there, and may not be authorized to pilot the vessel, unless you previously obtained permit A 38 from CONCORD.

Do not release the left mouse button and do not spin the ship until the paintjob is dry, otherwise you are going to ruin it. It usually takes a few days before you can safely release the button, so be prepared.

When the paint is dry, don't forget the race navy decals on this spot here. Zoom out and voila! You are now the first owner of this magnificent <insert Battlecruiser name here> Navy Issue ship.

You can now safely take it into the nearest friendly low-security system and tell everyone in local to come have a look at your excellent craftmanship skills; with little luck the natives will happily celebrate the birth of your new vessel with plenty of explosive fireworks.

Enjoy .
