Tier 1 Battlecruisers are amongst some of the least used ships in the game. Thoroughly outclassed by their tier 2 counterparts, although the costing significantly less, in Eve roles and performance are the deciding factors determining ship usage.
- Battlecriusers effectively become tier 2 in performance - requiring the level 1 skill to be trained with Hitpoints, Sensor strength, slot numbers, cost and in some cases fittings normalised.

Because split weapons are bad...
- Missile Hardpoints increased on Eris by 2, Lachesis increased by 1
- Eris loses a highslot in exchange for a mid (Ares style), receives more cpu
- See "Combat: Blasters" for changes to the Phobos.
There's a strong sense of synergy with each of the changes, from assault warfare links, to the rig changes, each of the suggestions tries to complement Gallente piloting play style. This list of change is also one that tries not to shy away from any of the existentialist issues affecting the game. I make no apologies for it as I doubt most would be satisfied until those changes were in place.

In before BC aren't used in high sec, but no one cares, because when people are complaining about the PvP reliance of a ship they are using them in low sec or null sec. Please research something before you post and make yourself look like a fool. I understand you may have been trying to make a point but it was wrong. So scratch your remark the T1 BC's are overshadowed by their T2 brothers because the fact is a good fleet only needs 1 or 2 Command Ships (In case you didn't know what a T2 BC was called). Hiding in the back of a fleet and pushing bonuses is something you don't need in mass quantities. If you need to see any other fleet comps just go browse through some corp or alliance KB that lives in null sec and you will see what people are using.

I see no command ships being requested here and this is for the majority of the CFC fleets. Cost effectiveness is the determining factor in whether a ship is used in eve not how well it can do the job. Obviously you have a disconnect on how rational people think that at the marginal cost, this is also a basic concept. Especially coming from a corporation that tends to loose T3's alot so your idea of cheap and effective are very skewed.
Also Gallente can tank very well, as already brought up they are just impotent in the form dealing damage because hybrid weapons suck in almost all situations being their one shortcoming.
Also there was an announcement for balancing of hybrid weapons so time to stop speculating changes and pray the CCP does this right, and stop daydreaming that this is going to be 2007 all over again. Gallente need to fit into fleet compisitions not be solo PvP gods causing every one to fly Gallente because they are not the most OP race in the game. More likely than not hybrid weapons will get a buff but a buff short of being useful and you will have to wait another 6 months for CCP to alter them again.

TL;DR
Trashing scrub for implying that BC's are underpowered and overshadowed and less used than their T2 counterpart. Also the quote from eve kill the top 2 are BC's.
There is a buff coming to Hybrid weapons that should fix the majority of Gallente issues so this shouldn't be a major sticking point. And armor tanking is not broken, nor is active tanking so there shouldn't be a complaint there either. |
