BCs are popular for being relatively cheap for the great mid-level utility they are able to bring. Not only would it be a colossal waste of time creating new ships when we've still got to wait 18months before they come around to polishing existing eve "features", but they would also be overpriced toys that rarely see any light outside of hangar lights.
I think the popularity of BCs in pvp right now are a testament to how well they are designed. No need to do anything further with them. They are fine as they are. Don't fix what isn't broken. Go fix what is broken first.

Unless...
You bring out faction tier 1 BCs that somehow slightly outperform normal tier 2 BCs?
Would still require changes to CSs, but it might well be less OP than faction tier 2s.
But meh. I'd still rather that the tier distinction were done away with and each race's BCs be balanced so at least we have 8 workable ships before introducing faction variants.
Pirate BCs on the other hand would be pure awesomesauce and would prevent the UberLoLDrakeofDeathbyTank. And would surely be as imbalanced as the rest of the pirate ships.

This thread shows us yet another failure in realising that tier2 BC already perform exactly like faction BC would in comparison to tier1. I mean, ok, let's assume you indeed make some new ships, but what are their stats gonna look like? You surely can't make them better than current command ships, but this effectively means... tier2 level of perfomance at max.
At first you'd need to fix tier2 BC by bringing them down to tier1 level, then you can probably add faction ones, which will perform like current drakes etc. And this is the only fair solution.

Actually I realize that and my ideas on this would be exclusively based on tier 1 hulls and upgraded from there, slots wise ending up en-par with the tier 2 ships but getting bonuses in their role and/or bonus brought from their pirate faction. For the navy variants it's a bit more complicated since finding appropriate space between a brutix and 1000 dps for a serpentis BC and a navy brutix is challanging, largely coming down to having to focus on different aspects. Where the serpentis brutix would be an uncompromising commitment to melt-your-face dps the navy brutix, in the same manner as the navy mega would build a credible tank on an already heavy damaging ship.
Maybe consider changing the active tank bonus to a resist or armor HP bonus
Navy Brutix
Highs: 7
Mids: 4
Lows: 7
Turrets: 7 (8.75 effective)

Navy Ferox was easier since as an underpowered ship there's lot of room to improve it without making it too good, adding another turret or two, along with the fittings to manage it would give the Caldari a higher damage turret ship then they currently have by a long shot.
Navy Ferox
Highs: 8
Mids: 6
Lows: 4
Turrets: 7/8
Launchers: 6
I don't know as much about the Cyclone or minmatar to know how this would work out but here's my best guess. Fiddling with the bonuses here would probably be good, maybe a missile and projectile RoF bonus as well as another bonus to replace the rep bonus one.
Navy Cyclone
Highs: 8
Mids: 6
Lows: 5
Turrets: 6
Launchers: 4
The Prophecy obviously needed some work to make it particularily viable but changing the cap use bonus to a damage bonus, perhaps a 7.5% one even would bring it close to Harb damage with a much better tank
Navy Prophecy
Highs: 7
Mids: 4
Lows: 7
Turrets: 6(7.5-8.25 effective)
These changes along with the standard expansion of fitting, armor and shield HP and capacitor, the last particularily key in the ferox and prophecy, should make appreciably better then tier 2 battlecruisers without doing too much to displace battleships.

BS price drop by 40mil in past year I think. They are already displaced, I cant remember when I last flew one.
Oh and btw, BSes are at least capable of using large guns. The faction BC will displace Command Ships, since said Command Ships are already almost displaced by some of Tier 2 BC`s. ---

Everything's gone down in price due to the insurance changes, not related to the utility or lack of utility in BSs

Can I troll in here and add my vote for a pirate/faction destroyers?
Guristas Cormorant with drones and good tank? Serpentis Catalyst with insane damage, 90% webs andspeed? Blood Coercer with web range and neut cap bonus and more than one mid? Angel Thrasher with inty speed, wicked tracking and huge falloff?
All that being said, don't count on CCP ever doing anything creative for BCs or destroyers (well maaaybe tier 2 destroyers one day), because Dessies and BCs are the only ships that need no racial training, and CCP really does like you to spend as much time as possible on skillz.

I vote instead of using existing hulls make some faction Bc's, make new hulls, something as demonic looking as a dramiel or steamlined as the ashimmu. And while you're at it CCP, remove the primae from the game.

I vote against. Tier 2 BC's already are close to overshadowing HAC's and stepping on BS toes while obsoleting tier 1 BC's, and the field CS already has a tough time finding a niche. I'd say nerf tier 2 BC first, and then look into making an upgrade. ------------------------------------- I like to fly around and shoot stuff. |
