battleships should not be easily destroyed by 10 frigates/interceptors. but currently they are right?
Why shouldn't they? You're outnumbered 10 to 1! Size will only make up for lack of numbers so far. If a battleship is easily destroyed by 1 frigate, there is a problem. If it takes 10, there is no problem.
One argument I often see about this is the comparative cost of the BS compared to the frigate gang. But what this forgets is that isk is not the only resource in the game. There is another one, even more important, and even more limited - manpower. I could buy a whole fleet of frigates for the cost of a battleship, but I can still only fly one ship at once. The battleship pilot is investing more isk than manpower, the frigate fleet is investing more manpower than isk. Superior manpower should count for just as much as superior equipment.
Complete nonsense.
Risk vs. Reward is what causes me to call BS on this issue.
How much risk do 20 pillow humping(90% of them are no life, live in mommy's basement types anyway if their smacktalk is any indicator) fast movers assume in any usage of that word\concept when they saddle up in vessels that don't even approach a fraction of the value of that which they can destroy?
I hope you look around and get a good picture. Numbers will beat tech 90% of the time. Nothing is invincable, and when your getting jumped by the ships you cant hit...guess what, you DIE! Solo-ers call for their own death. Hell, even  cant solo mine...so why should a BS pilot be able to solo a frig fleet? Guns cant track worth ****...missles are your only hope, which most frigs can out run while they warp. Its like complaining that the Domi's 15 heavy drones brought down your BS...honestly now, do you think its that messed up? You can no longer use a Raven as your frig win button...oh well, now you will have to use something else...or gimp your setup. Changes are good. Wish missles could have agility, but I will take this over lag.
Teamwork in a MMO...BRILLANT!
