Fleets of t2 bs?
I doubt there is anywhere near that many people with BS V. From my observation, most players tend not to specialize in one race and have more then one battleship trained up...meaning not a lot of people have battleship V.
They are also going to cost an ungodly amount. I'm guessing the the first couple dozen will sell for 800-1bil with the price settling down at around 500m.
So lets say you get one for 600m, insure it for 100m, thats 500m loss without any modules. With modules you're probably looking at a total loss of 600m.
Thats a huge loss from my perspective and any other pvper as far as i'm concerned.
Nobody is going to use these ships if they don't compare to battleships as heavy assaults compare to regular cruisers.
Try and looking at the whole picture...

Id say there are too many BS in the game as it is tbh. They are too cheap, too easy to build and too easy to train for.
Thats because cruisers suck. CCP needs to fix cruisers badly. Not a quick fix, they need to spend time on the problem.
It's stupid that battleships are more common then cruisers.

No, bs are used so much because they are so cheap and harmless to lose. If battleships and carriers cost a dime a dozen in real life, navies wouldnt use anything except them. But they do so they use smaller ships that are cheaper and quicker, not just to protect the big ships but because they do the job almost as good for much less investment and risk.
Instas are a big problem too, bs move almost as fast as frigs.
Good points.
Insurance needs to die
Instas as well possibly

Leadership is getting overhauled, this is getting more and more important in the world of EVE and we will add the first steps of a general overhaul to gangs and groups in the next content patch. Leadership features new skills, modules and opens up for specialized command ships.
Could these be T2 battleships? Not stunningly better than, say, a navy ship, but with the coolness of being able to supercharge a gang or fleet.
Wow, more reasons to blob. Thats just great...
It's a good thing they fixed lag issues with large fleets.

This thread has a lot of scared children in it.
What don't you get, 500mil+ loss if you lose a t2 bs.
In a fleet? Yeah, you're first target buddy, killing you will only take a few sec longer then normal and your death equates to around close to a dozen battleships.

and not be ''uber 1337'' for soloing.
Yeah down with soloing, it's too easy to do compared to rampant blobbing and ganking

T2 BS should take 1 week to make. Problem fixed.
Considering HAC's take 36hours, that won't be far from the truth

are you playing the same game as me? Most everyone I know has maxed out atleast 1 Race's bs skill to 5 and it's associated skills. As for t2 bs fleets tell that to the guys flying caldari navy issue ravens etc into pvp or using over 500+mil in faction loot. 800 mil for t2 bs will be a bargin for a good number of people, not I but there are some awfull rich folks out there.
I don't know what game you're playing, but it sure as hell isn't EVE. There is only a tiny group of people that take faction bs into battle.
A very very tiny group.
I also know a lot of people with BS 5, that doesn't mean the majority of EVE has bs 5 now does it?
I consider myself fairly wealthy, well not that wealthy tbh but i have enough and 800m for a tech 2 bs is a **** of a lot to lose. There is not a lot of people who will actually be able to lose 500-600m without breaking into tears 
If they are designed to boost fleets well, hurrah for more blobbing and lag and people dying to lag and petitions being denied because according to logs, the server had no lag issues, it was all in there head
