I had this idea a while ago and I threw it at CCP Manifest a few months ago, but I don't know if it got anywhere.
So the idea was to have a ship that did bonus damage to structures.
This would be used full for small alliances and corporations that can't field 70-300 man fleets like the other nullsec power houses.

And large alliances would be able to steamroll that much more effectively.
Well it would be but the larger alliances still use Dreads, SC's and the occasional titans, but mainly Maelstrom fleets.
So the new ship would just have top be less effect than all of these but still effective enough for small groups of people to use. |

I'm trying to address the fact that when you're in a small alliance, that only fields about 20-30 people, and you go to a POS bash in stealth bombers, and it takes about 2-3 hours to take down a large pos, there should be an alternative, a ship that is more efficient than what there is now.

Even with battleships it still takes a very long time. |

There is. They're called DREADNOUGHTS
Not everyone has a dread.
Small alliances dude, this idea is geared towards them.

Simply Release new battleship guns(no missiles unless very high cycle time) with nil tracking, as in when you warp on grid, it takes a few minutes for your gun to get aimed at the target. If someone bumps you, your tracking would take a minute or two to re-adjust.
Bomber's paradise, effectiveness ruined if the targets has the smallest amount of velocity.
Agreed, it doesn't have to be a new ship, maybe just a added bonus to a stealth bomber so guerrilla tactics can still be used.

And what would stop the not-so-small alliances from fielding bigger fleet of these ships? also, dreads?
Again, not everyone has a dread.
As for "not-so-small alliances" fielding them, there is nothing to stop them. But the ship, as I said before, could be better for pos bashing than a battleship, less than a dread, but more than a bomber.
Also if a large alliance did attack a pos with these, a full fleet of them, it wouldn't be a good idea because the group being attacked could just come over and retaliate.
I'm thinking the ship would be like a frigate or maybe a cruiser, maybe just an added bonus to bombers or something. |

Also Jafit, dreads can't go into highsec. |
