The Drake but just a little better in every way. And with a cool paint job. We have navy Frigates, Cruisers, Battle Ships. Why not throw us a bone with a Navy Battle Cruiser.

no, the rest of the race needs some love before the devs even think about touching on faction drakes or bc's in general for that matter

Yes because EVE totally needs more battlecruisers.

A "drake but better" would quickly become the only thing you'd see in PvP.

Originally by: Aglais A "drake but better" would quickly become the only thing you'd see in PvP.
Simple, take the drake, buff it's dps, then reduce it's taking ability and BOOM!!
Give it an extra launcher hard point to buff it's dps, and remove a rig slot.
The extra launcher gives it a full rack which would buff it's dps a good amount.
Removing the rig slot takes away one core defence field purger or another tanking module and thus reducing the overall tanking ability.
So instead of being designed to withstand prolonged engagements, it will be more designed to shorten the length of engagements.
So here's kinda the new bonuses
Battlecruiser skill bonus - 3% shield resistance (don't from 5%) and 5% bonus to kinetic damage.
Role Bonus - 25% bonus to heavy missile and heavy assault missile damage. (instead of reduced cpu cost of warfare link modules)
8 launcher hard points (instead of 7)
2 rig slots (instead of 3)
5 Mid slots (instead of 6)
All other slots and everything stay the same
The loss of the 3rd rigs, and the 6th mid slot reduces the tank ability as well as the reduction of the bonus resist from 5% per level to 3 % per level
Kinetic damage bonus stays at 5% per level
Added a role bonus to the ship of 25% bonus damage to heavies and heavy assaults.
Once you factor that you're adding 50% bonus kinetic damage instead of 25%, now you also have the extra launcher which takes the damage up another 14% or so. So total bonus damage of 65% or so of kinetic damage. Only 40% or so with other missiles. Probably take the damage to that of a battleship.
Now you're reducing the bonus resistance from 25% to 15% at lvl 5, which is a good amount. Then take the rig slot which knocks off a 20% shield recharge bonus from a t1 core defence field burger and 25% if using a t2.
then knock off another 15% recharge bonus from a shield recharger II
Now you've increase the kinetic damage by 65%, but also reduced the shield recharge by 35-40% and knocked off 10% shield resistance buff.
I'd say that sounds fair.
Some drake pilots might not like that cause the best part of the drake is the tank, but you have to give up something to get something. So now you'll have the choice of better dps or better tank.
These are just suggested numbers and aren't the suggested best numbers for balance of dps and tank, but I feel it works ok. |

why do you all want to pimp a drake when there are 2 caldari faction cruisers that are nearly worthless that simply need a rebalance?
narrow mindedness makes me sigh

Drakes are ugly enough. I don't think the game needs a camouflaged one.
