There is not one single ship class in the game, save for a battleship or a cloaked covert ops that can survive within the 20-28km sphere of a Raven.
Correct the Raven is a support ship a "fleet protector". The imbalance atm is in the fact that a Raven with Siege Launchers can, without penalty attack either Frigates Cruisers or Battleships. <=== This should not be the case. No other Ship class can do this - NONE.
The Raven is EVE's equivilant of the AEGIS Cruiser Equiped for this role it should be a killer of frigates and Cruisers but not also be a Battle ship killer.
This can be easily fixed one the HP fix is applied.
Siege Launcers Torp only. double their damage minimum agility.
Cruise Launchers Cruiser Only. Same Damage slight negative adjustement in Agility.
Heavy Luahcers Heavy only double speed and double agility.
Just a suggestion.

I agree with you regarding Cruise launches.
The rof on Cruise needs to be fixed it is out, and should fall between Heavy and Siege.
Glad we agree in "theory". Where ever that is. :P

I think we are missing the point here.
Battle Ship should and do dominate all battles.
That is why cruisers and frigates are called "SUPPORT" ships.
I fly a cruiser in fleet and the TRUTH is a small comfort but it is just that the TRUTH.
Support ship are vital to any fleet opperation as much for their speed and agility as for their... DISPOSABLE nature.

Oh, that plus a massive increase is super sensor boosted idiots sitting 150km out from gates 1 shot popping every frigate that appears at the gate.
While I also dislike this particular tactic You cannot seriously expect Battle Ship pilots to ignore the treat of frigates and not explite their obvious weaknesses, this is like asking frigate pilots to stop using MWD "'cause it just isn't sporting".
The reason you are seeing so many sensor booster sniper battle ships is because of the recent fixs to tracking which makes it impossible to hit tacklers at close range combined with the HP problem that make tanking pointless in large engagements. Battle ships are little more than paper weapons platforms.

The great difficulty with balance for cruisers and Frigates is the danger of a BattleShip nerf. - (Battle Ship nerf = Death of Game)
Battle ships must be able be capable and able to equip and deal with Frigates and Cruisers even in large numbers.
The challange is to find a solution that allows Frigates and Cruisers to play a real and meaningful role in Fleet combat, but at the same time not leaving lone battle ships helpless prey to single ew frigates and gate campers.
A frigates abiltity to kill a BattleShips Warp ability and momentum with relative impunity is a flawed game mechanic that favours gankers and gate campers.

It would appear that our CODE writing Over Lords don't agree.

There is no way around it. Everybody wants a Battle Ship.
Everybody wants the best Battle Ship Whatever is the flavour of the month.
Every Station I pass now has lines of Ravens and Apocs jumping off to do LVL 4 missions, Every gate is camped by Geddons, Six months ago every gate was camped by Tempests and before that, before shield and armour tanking were common fare, every gate was camped by the simplest of all, the good old fashioned Megathron.
Its been along time since I have seen a Gate camped by Osprey, BlackBirds and Thorax's.
Make Battle Ships unobtainable or disfunctional and loose half the player base.
