For each race there are 3 t1 battleships, and 2 of them have t2 variants, what happened to the other Battleships t2 versions?

I would like to see a t2 Rohk...

not sure what area this t2 ship would perform in, but it would be good nonetheless.

I'll have a Tier 2 T2 Battlecruiser whilst you're at it.... maybe a tanked EWAR vessel?

Have you ever used a marauder in combat? Theyre ****ing insane if fit/flown well (and in the proper gang of course).

And then you get perma jammed by a flight of light ecm drones....... 1v1 I would destroy a marauder in a cruiser or battle cruiser.

Where does this "fleet battleship" bonus come from? I don't recall there being such a skill in existence.

Hmm, perhaps a mini dreadnought?

I'm serious. Make a special, midslot siege mod (so the hulls can keep their 8 turrets), and have it fill an anti BS/support role. It would function as one heck of a sniper too.

Pros
- Massive volley damage.
- Highly skill intensive/expensive like the other T2 BSs. So they aren't going to break the game.
- High sec pos bashing would be slightly more tolerable.

Cons
- Horrendous tracking, just like a seiged dread.
- Highly expensive/skill intensive.
- No more durable than the T1 hull, so it wont be a solo pwnmobile.
- If you still feel that this is overpowered, have the siege mod anchor this thing in place just like a regular dread.


I now dream of my sieged Abbaddon taking potshots and webbed/TPed battleships lol.

Here are the options I see for the T2 battleships based on my perceived gaps in the fleet structure with a somewhat limited knowledge base.

1) Escort Carrier - From my understanding fighters and fighter bombers can only be used by carriers. Carriers are restrained to low and null sec. This is basically using a battleship hull and creating a small carrier out of it.

2) Escort Battleship - Ship with 16 to 20 high slots and turrets which can only fit small weapons. The ship is primarily designed to take out frigates and cruisers, while giving up it's ability to take out other battleships. Maybe 12 to 15 high slots fitting medium weapons. Caldari version could swap turrets for launchers.

The primary issue with adding new content for ship classes is how to prevent out dating previous ships. I'd almost rather see T3 frigates and battleships than adding more ships.

Super Destroyers!

4 Guns, 2 utility, pitiful tanks (think HAC/untanked BC).
+50% damage/lvl (applicable to all size guns).
+15% tracking/lvl (applicable to all size guns).
+25% speed/level
-10% sig/level with MWD

Ships like this would make large scale wardec combat a lot more interesting. The strong active tanks they would sport (in addition to non-existent mobility) would shake up the dogma that EHP buffer tanks coupled with mwd's are the only way to go.
