The weeding out of the BS in small gangs is for the better. It promotes a much better ship diversity. If you want to track smaller ships, fit smaller weapons.
Battleships should be a major part of fleet Ops, and the effectiveness and overabundance of capitals are the major reason they are having problems. I certainly don't think buffing armor tanking in fleets is a responsible decision, considering its only one ship that actually warrants shield tanking fleets... otherwise armor tanking is far preferred.
You got Tech 2 and Tech 3 small ships puting out the same or close to the same DPS as a BS with out all the draw backs. The only advantage most BS's realy have are Hit points and mybe more slots. But when your geting hammered on with omost BS dps and you cant even hit your target wtf is the point. BS's are just a lieablity on the Battlefield anymore. And Tech 2 BS's got screwed. Smaller higher level Tech ships got what they were missing most more DPS and slots. What did higher level BS's get?  Ya just think about that will ya.
Is it a rock? Point a Lazer at it and profit. Is it a ship? Point a Lazer at it and profit. I dont realy see any differnces here. |

I know 1 BS that absolutely owns every single type of BC, cruiser, t3, recon, command , or even frigate(if it isn't smart enough to get away). Yes - that's right - it's a domi with neuts.
Webs and points you, then shuts down your mwd/ ab , tank? whatever you're using with cap, releases the drones, MWD's in your direction while laughing at your dps.
Alternatively use MWD'd machariel.
But seriously - there's only 1 single change that CCP devs have to do to put BS's back in the game - do not limit the BS bonuses to BS weapons only. I.e. instead of the bonus being to large projectiles for the typhoon - make it a bonus to projectiles, and instead of bonus to torpedoes and cruise missiles , give a bonus to missiles for the raven ... and so on.
So a maelstrom with 425's AC's and a web would be a tough mofo that can hit almost any class out there.
And a raven with HAM's , while it may sound stupid would most likely destroy smaller ships just because it has more endurance.(ok I'm not missile guy and don't know wth different missiles sizes can hit but still)
This has my vote. And I have always felt that should be applyed to all ships. i.e. Cruiser bounses work for Med and Small weapons and so on.
