Originally by: Kuolematon I don't see why one should get these ships when they cost 45-50mil and only few more mils and you got BS. Its for those who wants to have EVERY SHIP IN GAME? 
BC have smaller sig radius, overporportionate grid (to fit 100mn AB's with) and overporportionate damage output.
A good pilot in a BC is fast enough to evade your BS's damage and does enough damage to kill you.
Yes I think these will definately find their role in combat. Normal cruisers will be used for frig killing, BC for cruiser/BS killing, HAC for BS killing and BS for fleetbattles.
i whuld till favor BS for fleetbattles over BC... Fleetbattles are all abaut optimizing preformance of evry invidual to create strong fleet = more slots/player in fleet the beter -------------------------------------------

Originally by: meowcat Anyone who actually logs in on 17th needs their head examining
Rumour is that the patch deployment will take 36 hours. I guess I'll not log into the game the 17th ;) --
If TC causes you discomfort that you feel is unwarranted or may be outside TC's current contract - contact me, please. |

Prophecy - Always liked lasers, but disliked the Maller, and have all these named heavy lasers collecting dust otherwise. Cost effective combat mission ship maybe? Always thought BS's overkill for level 3's, while regular cruisers were challenging but time consuming.
Brutix - Good looks, good mission sniper, budget 'pocket battleship' if you can't afford to replace your Dom every few days, maybe. And it has a dronebay from hell, iirc, though no drone control bonuses? Already pretty well skilled for Gallente mid-hvy ships.
I can see a few other reasons these will sell over BS's, number one, being cost to replace. That capability + cost gap between cruisers and battleships is HUGE. Also, if tech II BC's are ever slated to happen, building them will be a far sight less expensive than tech II BS's.
If someone's also been specializing in cruisers (and there are a few that do) and not been training the Large gun and BS skills, these ships are ready made for their skillset.
Cost may be a bit higher than 20 million in the first few months though ... Purchasers of the BPO are going to want to get back some of their investment in the BPO (which will cost, what, I'm guessing, about 150-250 million?), as well as the mineral research time investment (a good 20-30 days at least to get it to a non-horribly wasteful level).
I think pricing will closer to 30-40 million, depending on the final breakdown for the next 3-4 months easily. Only when sales drop through the floor and people start doing massive BPC sales do the prices drop to comparable to mineral +10%-30%.

The Prophecy was a very good ship the first 2 weeks on the testserver, and I was really looking foreward to have one on Tranq. But the they started playing around with the stats, and atm the ship is totally worthless. And I wonder why nobody ever post a single word about the fact that the Prophecy have a base recharge of 600  I have maxed out energy skills, but I can't outfit this ship anymore. But I guess I'm going to have one anyway
