...would like to see other battleships out there than the tier 1 and 2 that we have now? Possibly a a tier 3 or 4 TL1 BS before TL2 BS. This topic has probably been done to death before. I just think Caldari are lacking a proper sniper BS (modeled after the Moa). Ravens are all well and good. Just want something different and no, I don't want to drive a Megathron. Call me racist  if you like but I like to stick to my own race and their ships and capabilities.

I find "racial balancing" in-game (by giving every race a version of another race's technology) to be a double-edged sword...
On one side you now have the ability to do what the others do, so you won't be left behind AND don't need to train a whole other race of ships to do it.
On the other side you now have dumbed the game down a good bit by making specialization void for the most part and also have pushed back REALLY new ships (Dreadnaughts, Titans and Carriers oh my!) in favor of ships that are already in-game but require time to get.
Now for what you said about a Sniper BS, you need to train a bit more but go for the Eagle. Never flown it but from what I can see from ship bonuses, this thing is king of sniping. It's not a battleship, but Tier 3 & 4 battleships don't even seem to be on the horizon (pretty sure Tech 2 are coming...)

Yeah eagle has nice range with 250 mm t2. The down side is that it's dmg is not very "heavy assault" like. I don't know, maybe the 250mm rails suck or the ship really needs 5th turret slot and a bit of PG boost (150-200 or so), cause missile launcher slots are a joke, since u have about 40km optimal using AM munition (and we all know how long it takes for a heavy missile to travel 40km, so they're a waste of slots).
Anyway... back to the topic... yeah the caldari seriously lack a good gun boat (the only good gun boat is harpy). But that is the way it is... We can't have everybody having everything, can we? if u want a good gun boat, go train for ammar ships and use pulse lasers :)

new ships in the game is a great idea, but how about instead of new BS's we try for more different frigates give the new player a choice instead of the 5ish they get to choose from as there first 'real' ship. anyway frigs are usfull for everyone and add speed and variety to the game like spices on a good meal 
we are gaining new big ships in by the truckload and the game is going to become really boring if the ships just keep getting bigger and 'ubar0r' everything being introduced lately is exclusively for the experienced players :( id much rather acctually have fun and stay on my toes in a frig than engage in BS+ sized combat where the battle is slow methodical and won before the warring ships are even in the same system.
give people a chance adding things for the elite players is great and all but not giving the new players anything just stops people liking the game when they first start

Humera - you CAN fly a sniping battleship, just get into skilltraining for other factions.
If Amarr would get a missilespammer like the Raven from their own faction there would not be anything to keep me progressing as a character.
I would rather have a long term goal of flying some other factions ships rather than getting a new one in my own faction "for free".

Somehow 6 tracking pc T2s and 2 sensor boosters even without damage bomus's on the scorp seem to be a sniper to me.

Id rather see more smaller ships with a specific task than large uber bs. I dont think Amarr should have a missile boat but i do think a few more frigs, destroyers and cruiser (bc) would be good for the game, be they normal or be they more readily available faction ships, Id love a go at flying an Amarr Navy Slicer for example over my Malediction, or a Khanid Navy Arbitrator over my standard one.

Well Race specialization is more then one aspect of a ship.
Imagine if the minmater tier 3 was a EW Battleship that was fast as all get out.
Imagine if the Amarr tier 3 was a Droneship with an ungodly amount of Armour.
Still race specific, but offering a mildly different take on things.
Frankly I don't see why you should have to spend months training up other factions ships if your race specialization got nerfed. Also from a RP perspective its hard to justify a pilot who flies everything for "teh win".
Really having gallente Pilots in Ravens does more to wipe out "racial specialization" then a Gallente Missille ship would.

I think Tier3 battleships should be added. Mabye just upgraded versions of the tier2's with an extra bonus? Apoc with a damage bonus, raven with a shield boosting bonus, tempest with a tracking bonus (would actually make it useful), and a megathron with that mwd nerf bonus everyone wants? stupid idea but just throwing it out there.

How about a minmatar ship that actually tanks pretty damn good?
